Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a fibrosing interstitial pneumonia of unknown etiology,
primarily affects older adults and leads to a progressive decline in lung function and quality …

Heartburn is the most specific symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In
clinical practice, heartburn relief by a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) trial does suffice to confirm …

It is neither practical nor necessary to initiate a diagnostic evaluation of every patient with
symptoms of GERD. Management, by and large, is focused on empiric therapy, with lifestyle …

Background & Aims: Despite proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), patients may have persistent
symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). We aimed to identify symptom types …

Background Gastro‐esophageal reflux is considered a major culprit in the pathogenesis of
Barrett's esophagus (BE). Still, there is controversy on the role of weakly acidic and weakly …
