Journal Article Foregut · September 1, 2024 Symptoms suspicious for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) represent frequent indications for medical presentation, as do symptoms potentially compatible with delayed gastric emptying. In this clinical setting, care must be taken to characterize patien ... Full text Cite

Automated software-derived supine baseline impedance is highly correlated with manual nocturnal baseline impedance for the diagnosis of GERD.

Journal Article Neurogastroenterol Motil · September 2024 BACKGROUND: Mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) can improve diagnostic accuracy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), but must be manually calculated and is not routinely reported. We aimed to determine how automated software-derived mean supine ... Full text Link to item Cite

Reflux Disease Questionnaire Scoring and Utilization: A Scoping Review

Journal Article Foregut · June 1, 2024 Background: The RDQ was developed to assist in diagnosing GERD, but is now widely used in multiple contexts and validated in several languages. However, there is no standard RDQ scoring rubric, making comparisons between its uses challenging. Therefore, we ... Full text Cite

Medical Therapy for Ineffective Esophageal Motility: A Systematic Review

Journal Article Foregut · March 1, 2024 Background: Ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) is a commonly identified disorder of peristalsis. Although often asymptomatic, IEM can be associated with dysphagia. Aside from treating co-existing gastroesophageal reflux disease and sources of mechanical ... Full text Cite

Potassium-Competitive Acid Blockers: Present and Potential Utility in the Armamentarium for Acid Peptic Disorders.

Journal Article Gastroenterol Hepatol (N Y) · December 2022 Potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCABs) such as vonoprazan represent a novel class of acid suppressants that show tremendous promise to enhance care of acid peptic disorders. PCAB characteristics distinct from those of proton pump inhibitors-such as ac ... Link to item Cite

Predictors of Abnormal Functional Luminal Impedance Planimetry Findings in Non-mechanical Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction.

Journal Article Dig Dis Sci · November 2021 BACKGROUND: Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) is a common but nonspecific motility pattern identified by esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM). Functional luminal impedance planimetry (FLIP) provides information regarding lower esop ... Full text Link to item Cite
