esophagitis/carbohydrate

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between dietary glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL), total carbohydrate, sugars, starch, and fiber intakes and the risk of reflux esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma. METHODS In an all-Ireland study, dietary information was

The motility of the stomach is modulated by the complex interplay of muscular, humoral, and neuronal factors. Rapid gastric emptying has been described after gastrectomy, gastrojejunostomy, vagotomy with pyloroplasty, and with active peptic ulcer disease. Rapid emptying may result in "dumping"

Background. Specific dietary components have been associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Europe and the United States. However, the relationship between dietary components and GERD in Chinese still remains unclear. Methods. A total of 268 patients who were newly diagnosed as

BACKGROUND the role of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in the development of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) stays disputable. OBJECTIVE to determine clinical-epidemic correlations between reflux-esophagitis (RE) and HP in children and adolescents. METHODS 300 children and adolescents 12-18 years

BACKGROUND Although associated allergies are common and the mechanism may include long-term exposure to allergens, measurement of serum specific IgE levels has not been studied in pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis (EE). OBJECTIVE To compare the results of serum IgE testing, patch testing, and

OBJECTIVE Because bacteria represent the sole source of gut hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4), fasting breath H2 and CH4 gases have been used as markers of colonic fermentation. The presence of carbohydrates in the colonic lumen inhibits gastric and pancreatic secretions, and also influences lower

OBJECTIVE As both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are associated with malnutrition and feeding dysfunction, this study compares growth, nutrition, and feeding behaviors in children with GERD and EoE. METHODS Subjects ages 1 to 7 years with GERD or EoE were

BACKGROUND Chronic gastritis and esophagitis are associated with changes in mucosal glycosylation patterns. Lectins represent a group of specific carbohydrate binding proteins that can be used as sensitive tools for the analysis of glycosylation patterns. OBJECTIVE To investigate the binding

OBJECTIVE Chronic gastritis and esophagitis are associated with changes in glycosylation patterns. Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are used as sensitive tools in the analysis of glycosylation patterns. The aim was to investigate the binding patterns of lectins UEA-I, DBA, HPA and PNA

BACKGROUND Because of the high prevalence of cow's milk allergy as one of the most frequent clinical presentations of food allergy in infancy and early childhood, it is important to define the condition accurately. Allergy must be distinguished from the broader term food intolerance, which may be

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to evaluate the structure and function of the upper gastrointestinal tract in a group of patients with autism who had gastrointestinal symptoms. METHODS Thirty-six children (age: 5.7 +/- 2 years, mean +/- SD) with autistic disorder underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy

A total of 1,429 serum samples from 389 consecutive patients with acute chest pain were analyzed with the goal to aid the rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. To the best of our knowledge this is the largest and most comprehensive study on mid-infrared spectroscopy in cardiology. We were
