By clearly mapping out the relationships between different concepts, such as in our provided Pathophysiology Concept Map example, these diagrams can aid in the understanding of disease processes, treatment strategies, and patient care plans.
1 Αυγ 2012 · The document outlines the clinical manifestations of GERD including heartburn, regurgitation, and extraesophageal symptoms. It also discusses diagnostic evaluations for GERD including endoscopy, pH monitoring, and manometry.
22 Ιουλ 2013 · This document discusses gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It defines GERD as a condition where the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus causes symptoms or mucosal damage. It discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiology involving breakdown of the lower esophageal sphincter barrier, clinical manifestations including typical ...
6 Ιουν 2020 · The pathophysiology of GERD is multifactorial and is best explained by various mechanisms involved, including the influence of the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter, the presence of a hiatal hernia, esophageal mucosal defense against the refluxate and esophageal motility.
The pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is complex and involves changes in reflux exposure, epithelial resistance, and visceral sensitivity. The gastric refluxate is a noxious material that injures the esophagus and elicits symptoms.
1 Φεβ 2024 · GERD pathophysiology is complex and multifactorial. Major players are the transdiaphragmatic pressure gradient and the valve mechanism at the EGJ. GERD may occur in specific clinical scenarios: obesity, restrictive pulmonary diseases, hiatal hernia, and esophageal and gastric dysmotility.
What is GERD? Gastroesophageal reflux is a chronic disease that occurs when stomach contents flow back (reflux) into the food pipe (esophagus). It is usually caused by failure of the muscle valve (called the lower esophageal sphincter) between the stomach and the esophagus to close properly. The backwash of stomach acid irritates the lining of
