  2. 1. Wireless esophageal PH monitoring. Clinical evaluation of a new technique

    Author : Jörgen Wenner; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; thresholds; specificity; sensitivity; diagnostic accuracy; adverse symptoms; wireless; pH monitoring; gastroesophageal reflux disease; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : Esophageal pH monitoring is important in the clinical management of patients with symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and in research aiming to clarify the mechanisms involved in the development of GERD complications. Catheter-based techniques for pH recording are uncomfortable, not well tolerated by all patients and cannot reliably measure acid exposure in the most distal esophagus the region most prone to reflux-induced complications.

    Abstract : Gastrointestinal motility disorders are common in childhood and in this thesis we look at two of them, i.e. Hirschsprung´s Disease (HD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in five different studies. 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

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. Clinical studies of contact granuloma and posterior laryngitis with special regard to esophagopharyngeal reflux

    Author : Riitta Ylitalo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : contact granuloma; surgical treatment; voice therapy; voice quality; perceptual analysis; acoustic analysis; posterior glottis; posterior laryngitis; recurrence frequency; esophagopharyngeal reflux; pH monitoring; manometry;

    Abstract : This investigation had two main goals. The first goal was to evaluate the clinical symptoms and signs of contact granuloma patients and to study the short-and long-term treatment outcomes. READ MORE
