esophagitis/비만증

A higher prevalence of erosive esophagitis is found in obese than in nonobese patients; however, it remains unclear why some obese patients develop this disease, whereas others do not. Accordingly, we elucidated the risk factors associated with erosive esophagitis in severely obese Chinese patients.

Obesity has been associated with various gastrointestinal diseases in children, but the role of obesity in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has not been clearly established. The aim of the study was to investigate whether obesity and/or being overweight are risk factors for reflux esophagitis

Background. Data examining the association between obesity and erosive esophagitis (ErE) have been inconsistent, with very little known about interracial variation. Goals. To examine the association between obesity and ErE among patients of different ethnic/racial backgrounds. Methods. The study

BACKGROUND The relationship between obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is controversial. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential roles of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference on GERD in a Korean population. METHODS A total of 2457 subjects who visited

We describe a patient who underwent horizontal gastroplasty for morbid obesity while exhibiting mild symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The patient lost 34.4 kg, but reflux symptoms progressed to the point of becoming almost incapacitating, associated with erosive esophagitis. The patient

BACKGROUND Although obesity and weight gain increase the risk for symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, their association with erosive oesophagitis is still unclear in the male population. OBJECTIVE To evaluate, in men, the association of body mass index (BMI) and weight gain with

Herein we describe two patients with medically refractory, severe reflux esophagitis after vertical banded gastroplasty for morbid obesity. Neither patient had symptoms of reflux preoperatively. Both patients underwent conversion to a vertical Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, an operation that prevents

Background: Currently, the data on the relationship between obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Asian populations are scarce. Methods: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of reflux esophagitis

OBJECTIVE Obesity is reported to be associated with erosive esophagitis (EE). However, the temporal association of obesity and abdominal obesity with EE is unclear. We conducted this study to investigate the temporal association of obesity, especially abdominal obesity with EE. METHODS Among 1,182

OBJECTIVE Although weight loss is commonly recommended for symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, a relationship between excessive body weight and esophageal reflux has not been established. The aim of this study was to determine whether obesity is associated with the presence of a hiatal hernia (HH)

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between overweight and erosive esophagitis (EE) in a non-obese Taiwanese population. METHODS A total of 7,352 subjects (non-obese, 5,826; obese, 1,526) from a health examination center at National Cheng Kung University Hospital were enrolled. Central obesity

UNASSIGNED The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between obesity and erosive esophagitis (EE) or Barrett's esophagus (BE) in a Chinese population. UNASSIGNED Data from subjects were retrospectively collected from 2006 to 2009. Individuals with BE were identified and age- and

BACKGROUND The effects of vertical banded gastroplasty/Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (Capella) on the esophageal mucosa of patients with histological esophagitis are poorly understood. To evaluate long-term effects, we investigated the persistence, aggravation or disappearance of histological esophagitis

BACKGROUND Omega loop gastric bypass is a successful bariatric surgery with numerous favorable circumstances as being basic, effective on weight reduction and treatment of obesity associated metabolic disorder, the short expectation to learn and adapt, and the simplicity of correction and inversion.

Experience with six morbidly obese patients with symptomatic reflux esophagitis associated with hiatal hernia, the diagnoses confirmed by upper GI x-ray contrast studies and endoscopy, has been reported. Truncal vagotomy with Heineke-Mikilicz pyloroplasty and gastric bypass with Roux-en-Y
