Gastroesophageal reflux is a frequent, varied disease, which spoils the quality of life. It may be present in extraesophageal form, affecting larynx, pharynx, upper respiratory tracts, accessory cavities and middle ear. The mass of outpatients and the shortage of diagnostic capacities are justifying to make diagnosis based on symptoms, and to apply therapy introduced via medical tests. Author reports the experiences of 1000 processed cases, and insurance consequences are discussed, as well.

Weak acid and pepsin reflux induce laryngopharyngeal mucosal barrier injury: A rabbit-model-based study.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Fujian Provincial Hospital, Fuzhou, Fujian, China.
Objective: Using rabbit models, this study simulated the laryngopharynx's response to the synergistic effects of various acidic reflux environments and pepsin to investigate the response mechanism underlying weak acid reflux and pepsin in the mucosal barrier injury of laryngopharyngeal reflux.
Methods: The rabbits were divided into six groups, and the original larynx was recorded for each group. During the study period, rabbits were sprayed with different doses of acid and pepsin solutions and monitored for hypopharyngeal mucosal transient impedance before and after modeling.
Preference for On-Demand Fexuprazan Therapy in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study.
J Pers Med
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Hanyang University Guri Hospital, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Guri 11923, Republic of Korea.
Maintenance therapy is crucial in managing and preventing symptom relapse in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with continuous and on-demand therapy being the common approaches. However, maintenance therapy using potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), such as fexuprazan, remains incompletely evaluated. This single-center, single-arm, prospective cohort study enrolled individuals with weekly heartburn or acid regurgitation and confirmed erosive esophagitis.

SAGE Open Med
January 2025
Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA.
Objective: This study utilized a sample of trangender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse (TGD) patients to build on emerging literature that suggests that hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome may be overrepresented in TGD populations. The objective of this retrospective chart review was to determine the prevalence of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome syndrome at a gender-affirming primary care clinic.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of medical records was conducted with records between May 2021 and June 2024.
[Efficacy and Safety of Dual Delayed-Release Formulation of Esomeprazole in Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: A Multicenter, Prospective, Observational Study].
Korean J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Hanmi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea.
Background/aims: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic and recurrent condition requiring constant dietary management and medication. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of HIP1601, a dual delayed-release formulation of esomeprazole, in patients with GERD in a clinical setting.
Methods: This prospective, multicenter, observational study was conducted at 309 medical institutions in Korea between June 2021 and March 2023.
Effects of the Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation System on Heartburn, Regurgitation and Esophageal Acid Exposure in GERD Patients-An Uncontrolled Feasibility Study.
Neurogastroenterol Motil
January 2025
Division of Gastroenterology, Rabin Medical Center, Beilinson Campus, Petah Tikva, Israel.
Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are associated with a high failure rate. Our uncontrolled feasibility study aimed determining the effect of a transcutaneous electrical stimulation system (TESS) on GERD symptoms and acid exposure time (AET).
Methods: Recruited patients with heartburn and regurgitation.
