Background: Nocturnal gastroesophageal reflux has been shown to be associated with the more severe forms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), particularly with extraesophageal manifestations as well as complications of mucosal damage.
Aim: To determine the frequency of nocturnal gastro esophageal reflux disease on 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring in patients with digestives or extra-digestives symptoms and to evaluate the clinical and pHmetric characteristics of nocturnal reflux in these patients.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study based on results of 24- hour esophageal pH monitoring during a 11-year period in patients with or without digestive symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Article Synopsis
- Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are major types of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) whose underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.
- The intestinal epithelium plays a crucial role in managing inflammation and maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier, which consists of physical, chemical, and immune components.
- This article aims to explore existing research on how epithelial cells contribute to intestinal balance and their involvement in the development of IBD.
