esophagitis/triglyceride

BACKGROUND Central obesity has been suggested as a risk factor for gastroesophageal reflux disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of visceral fat area and other lifestyle factors with reflux esophagitis or Barrett's esophagus in Japanese population. METHODS Individuals who

We evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of amphotericin B triglyceride emulsion in 16 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related candidal esophagitis and cryptococcosis, compared with standard amphotericin B in 24 patients. Compared with the conventional formulation, the fat

BACKGROUND Asymptomatic erosive esophagitis by definition is a condition lacking any reflux symptom. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the prevalence of asymptomatic erosive esophagitis in a general population undergoing periodic health checkup. METHODS Consecutive subjects undergoing a medical

BACKGROUND Reflux esophagitis (RE) and coronary heart disease (CHD) have common risk factors, including obesity and metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between RE and the future CHD risk. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 8,221 participants who were ≥20

OBJECTIVE Researches on the potential risk factors for the development of erosive esophagitis have been conducted extensively, however, the results are conflicting. The aim of this multicenter study was to identify the prevalence rate and risk factors of erosive esophagitis and their interactions

Erosive esophagitis is a major risk factor for Barrett esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Information regarding the putative risk factors for developing erosive esophagitis is considerably heterogeneous; thus, a risk model is required to clinically predict the incidence of erosive esophagitis.

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to ascertain whether symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease (SGERD) without endoscopic evidence of inflammatory findings would develop into esophagitis. METHODS Observation by endoscopic examination was conducted annually for 5 years, using as subjects

To investigate the association between abdominal fat distribution represented by the visceral fat area (VFA) to subcutaneous fat area (SFA) ratio, and erosive esophagitis (EE). Seven hundred and twenty-eight participants aged >40 years underwent physical examination, blood tests,

OBJECTIVE It has been reported that the prevalence of hiatal hernia (HH) and reflux esophagitis (RE) increases with age, as does the degree of arteriosclerosis. However, it has not been investigated whether or not arteriosclerosis is correlated with the presence of HH and RE. Therefore, we

The prevalence of reflux esophagitis is increasing in Korea. To estimate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of reflux esophagitis in healthy subjects, we retrospectively examined the medical records of healthy subjects undergoing a routine check-up from October 2004 to September 2005. A

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. GERD can be divided into two groups, erosive esophagitis and non-erosive reflux disease (NERD). The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics of patients with erosive

BACKGROUND The impact of obesity on gastroesophageal reflux disease remains controversial. We undertook this study, with a large sample size, to investigate risk factors for endoscopic erosive esophagitis by multivariate analysis, including visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose

BACKGROUND Obesity has been associated with reflux esophagitis. However, the association of metabolic syndrome with reflux esophagitis remains unknown. METHODS A case-control study of 372 subjects undergoing upper endoscopy during health checkups was conducted (182 patients with reflux esophagitis

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to determine associations between metabolic risk factors and erosive esophagitis. METHODS In this retrospective case-control study, diagnosis of erosive esophagitis was based on the Los Angeles classification. Endoscopic findings in subjects with erosive esophagitis were

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether erosive esophagitis is correlated with metabolic syndrome and its components, abnormal liver function, and lipoprotein profiles. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional, case control study of subjects who underwent upper endoscopy during a health examination at the
