Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune-mediated disease of the esophagus
characterized clinically by symptoms related to esophageal dysfunction and histologically by …

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an adaptive immune response to patient-specific antigens,
mostly foods. EoE is not IgE-mediated and is instead likely mediated by Th2 lymphocytes …

Background & Aims Diagnostic testing for chronic esophageal disorders relies on
histopathology analysis of biopsies or uncomfortable transnasal catheters or wireless pH …

Heartburn is a common symptom in clinical practice, but as many as 70% of patients have
normal findings from upper endoscopy. Most of these patients have nonerosive reflux …

Abstract Purpose of Review In this review, we discuss current diagnostic testing modalities
for both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and …

Purpose of review Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, allergen-driven, immune-
mediated disease of the esophagus that progresses to esophageal fibrostenosis if left …

Current diagnostic testing for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) include endoscopy,
ambulatory pH and intraluminal impedance monitoring. However, they are suboptimal and …

Background The purpose of this study was to determine whether magnetic sphincter
augmentation (MSA) could effectively treat patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease …

Introduction Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most common diagnosis seen
in outpatient gastroenterology clinics. The diagnosis is made by a variable combination of …

Impedance has traditionally been employed in esophageal disease as a means to assess
bolus flow and reflux episodes. Recent and ongoing research has provided new and novel …
