esophagitis/니코틴

Tobacco smoke is important pathogenetic agent of stomach digestive and duodenum ulcers, oesophagitis as well as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. The aim of work was the assessment of urinary nicotine metabolites concentration in children and teenagers diagnosed and treated in Paediatrics Chair of

Lymphocytic esophagitis (LyE) is a recently described clinicopathological condition, but little is known about its features and clinical associations. The aim of this study was to characterize patients with LyE, compare them to non-LyE controls, and identify risk factors. We conducted a

The prevalence of pre-cancerous lesions of the oesophagus and their association with alcohol and tobacco were examined in an endoscopic survey carried out in La Plata, Argentina. The study included 406 subjects over 15 years of age attending several gastroenterology clinics because of various

Introduction: Tobacco use worsens gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD). Smoking cessation improves GERD symptoms, but its impact on the efficacy of laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery (LARS) is unclear. In this retrospective cohort study,

OBJECTIVE Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is one of the major factors of predisposing children to develop several hazardous health problems. We decided to investigate the association between nicotinine, one of the nicotine metabolites and esophagitis in children with gastroesophageal

The impact of snus (smokeless tobacco or snuff) on gastrointestinal symptoms and pathological findings is largely unknown. The authors aimed to investigate whether the exposure to different forms of tobacco influences upper gastrointestinal symptoms, histology and frequency of Helicobacter pylori

BACKGROUND We recently demonstrated that cascade stomach detected by barium studies was correlated with upper gastrointestinal symptoms. We developed a new endoscopic classification of cascade stomach and examined its relationship with reflux esophagitis. METHODS Study 1: the classification (grades

BACKGROUND The risk factors that precipitate the occurrence of oesophageal mucosal injury in patients on continuous nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy are unknown. METHODS Outpatients who regularly consumed NSAIDs for osteoarthritis were recruited from a rheumatology clinic into a

A case-control study was undertaken to determine whether esophagitis in children correlated with exposure to parental cigarette smoking. At least one parent smoked in 77 (79%) of 97 families in the study group, compared with 42 (38.9%) of the 108 families in the control group (p < 0.001). Passive

Though long well known, reflux oesophagitis is as yet poorly understood in terms of both incidence and physiopathology. These aspects of gastrooesophageal reflux were studied in a group of patients subjected to endoscopic examination. The 13.6% incidence of the condition was very similar to the

OBJECTIVE Impaired autonomic function has been observed in patients with gastroesophageal reflex disease (GERD), but little is known about autonomic function in patients with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD). The objective of this study was to investigate potential differences in autonomic function

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has been associated with exposure to aeroallergens. Living in different locations (urban vs. rural) could potentially expose individuals to different environmental factors. Currently, there is limited data on the matter, and all was based on small population studies

Early detection of a malignancy in reflux esophagitis should permit an effective surgical action if a causal time relation between reflux, esophagitis and carcinoma exists. In the medical literature on tumors of the esophagus associated with reflux esophagitis, it has been reported that they are

Background: Defining factors associated with severe reflux esophagitis allows for identification of subgroups most at risk for complications of strictures and esophageal malignancy. We hypothesized there might be unique clinical features

OBJECTIVE To construct a model for the prediction of acute esophagitis in lung cancer patients receiving chemoradiotherapy by combining clinical data, treatment parameters, and genotyping profile. METHODS Data were available for 273 lung cancer patients treated with curative chemoradiotherapy.
