Complications of anti-reflux surgery in gastro-esophageal reflux disease with special reference to dysphagia
All patients who underwent revision laparoscopic surgery from January 202 to July 2008 in the UCT Private Academic /Groote Scruur Hospital complex for intractable dysphagia and who did not respond to consevative treatment were reviewed. Patients with peri-oesophagel fibrosis as the dominant cause …

Exploring Gastro-oesophageal Reflux in Infants and Children
Background: Gastro-oesophageal reflux in babies, young children and teenagers is a frequent cause of symptoms, parental concern and paediatric referrals. Sequelae can include failure to thrive, haematemesis, and recurrent aspiration. Current conservative management includes reassurance, feeding …

The oesophageal mucosa in reflux disease - endoscopic appearance and tissue structure
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is very common in especially the western world. The cardinal symptoms are heartburn or regurgitations and are caused by the reflux of noxious compounds from the stomach/duodenum to the oesophagus. The first-choice diagnostic method is endoscopy with the …

Chiropractic management of heartburn, dyspepsia and reflux in chronically symptomatic adults
… exists regarding heartburn, dyspepsia or reflux (HDR). Objectives. This investigation aimed to build on a pilot study showing positive effects from chiropractic management of HDR. A review of the neuroanatomical and physiological rationale for chiropractic management is followed by …

Vesicoureteral Reflux and Urinary Tract Infection in Children with Congenital Hydronephrosis
We checked voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) in patients with congenital hydronephrosis (CHN) and followed up the occurrence of urinary tract infection(UTI) in these patients. And we tried to figure out the relationship between CHN and VUR and UTI. We performed a retrospective study in 122 CHN …

The design and construction of a liquid-liquid solvent extractor with reflux
… and part of the extract is recycled as reflux. A spiral-packed column for use in extractive distillation was designed and constructed. The extraction assembly consists of a single helicoid flight with a pitch of two, wound around and welded to a standard two-inch pipe, and machined to a …

Reasonability of gastro-oesophageal reflux study requests (contrast swallows and milk scans) for the detection of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital - a retrospective analysis
… that are often attributed to gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). The difficulty lies in distinguishing between physiological gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) and GORD and none of the tests available can, alone, give conclusive evidence for the latter. Clinicians are often at a loss which …

Urinary tract infection in small children: aspects of bacteriology, vesicoureteral reflux and renal damage
… resistance situation. Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a well-known risk factor for UTI in children. Besides acute discomfort of UTI, long-term consequences associated with renal damage may occur. Research questions: What is the relation between UTI, VUR and renal damage? How has …

Hirschsprung´s Disease & Gastroesophageal Reflux. Aspects on Two Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders in Childhood
… Hirschsprung´s Disease (HD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in five different studies. HD is a congenital disease characterized by an abscence of ganglion cells in myenteric and submucous ganglia, most commonly in the distal part of the large bowel. In Paper I, we have studied the CART …

Biomechanical and morphological characterization of common iliac vein remodeling: Effects of venous reflux and hypertension
… in venous pressure due to retrograde flow (reflux) and obstruction of venous flow by intrinsic and extrinsic means are the two possible mechanisms for venous hypertension. Reflux is the prevailing theory in the etiology of venous insufficiency. The objective of this thesis is to quantify the …

Detection of Pepsin in the Sputum/Saliva for Diagnosing Atypical Manifestations of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Atypical manifestations of GERD are difficult to diagnose.We aimed to determine whether measurement of pepsin in the sputum/saliva could be useful for diagnosing atypical GERD manifestations. METHODS: Patients with clinically suspected atypical GERD symptoms provided sputum/saliva …

Factors influencing on esophageal baseline impedance levels in patients with suspected symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease
… significantly lower in patients with pathologic reflux, compared with the GERD-unrelated group. No significant difference in the baseline impedance levels was observed between patients with positive symptom index alone and the GERD-unrelated group. Conclusions: The time from the meal period or …
