   Abstract : This thesis investigates several aspects on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and associated complications as Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. I. To clarify the natural course of GERD, a pH-metry verified cohort was re-evaluated after 20 years. The course of GERD may well be progressive. READ MORE

5. 3. Laryngopharyngeal reflux - development and refinement of diagnostic tools

   Author : Olle Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : reflux; pH-monitoring; validation; questionnaires; larynx; hypopharynx;

   Abstract : Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), characterized by symptoms of chronic cough, hoarseness, throat clearing, globus, laryngospasm, throat pain and excessive mucus has in recent years been recognized as an extra-esophageal manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). There are still many questions to be answered regarding how to diagnose the LPR disease and how to effectively select patients that may benefit from treatment. READ MORE

   Abstract : There is a persisting controversy concerning the definition, etiology and pathogenesis of Barrett's esophagus.

7. 5. Gastroesephageal reflux and related motility disorders after esophageal atresia : a clinical study

   Author : Madeleine Montgomery; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Esophageal atresia; tracheoesophageal fistula; gastroesophageal reflux; esophageal pH monitoring; respiratory function; gastric emptying; videomanometry STOCKHOLM 1997;

   Abstract : The most common congenital malformation of the esophagus is esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Successful repair of EA does not ensure normal esophageal function. Disturbed esophageal motility and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are often detected after repair of EA. READ MORE
