1. Revisão sistemática da literatura sobre as terapias endoscópicas ablativas do esôfago de Barrett / Systematic literature review on endoscopic ablative therapies of Barrett´s esophagus
O esôfago de Barrett é o principal fator de risco para o adenocarcinoma e resulta da agressão crônica causada pelo refluxo gastroesofágico. A abordagem terapêutica é controversa, e o tratamento cirúrgico, na presença de neoplasia intraepitelial de alto grau, pode estar indicado. A abordagem endoscópica apresenta-se como a alternativa com menor morb

2. A clinical evaluation of argon plasma coagulation in Barrett´s esophagus mucosal ablation therapy / Avaliação da aplicação clínica da coagulação com plasma de argônio na ablação do esôfago de Barrett
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) in ablation therapy of specialized columnar epithelium in Barrett´s esophagus. The presence of Barrett´s epithelium is considered a premalignant condition with potential development of adenocarcinoma. The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has been rising for

3. Revisao da fundoplicatura de nissen para tratamento da doença do refluxo gastroesofagico em crianças e adolescentes / Nissen fundoplication review for gastroesophageal reflux treatment in children and adolescents
Gastroesophageal reflux disease in childhood may cause nutritional impairment, esophagus inflammation, respiratory disorders and neurobehavioral alterations. In most cases, treatment includes postural, dietary and medical therapy. Anti-reflux surgery is recommended to patients who do not present improvement with proton pump inhibitors treatment, or present r

4. Barrett's esophagus in children. Diagnosis and management.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the local prevalence and optimal therapy for children with Barrett's esophagus (BE), the authors studied children with esophageal strictures or gastroesophageal reflux (GER), or both, to diagnose BE and to follow after therapy. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Barrett's esophagus is seldom reported in children and therapeutic recommendations

5. The rationale for esophagectomy as the optimal therapy for Barrett's esophagus with high-grade dysplasia.
OBJECTIVE: The authors determined the incidence of invasive adenocarcinoma after esophagectomy in patients endoscopically diagnosed as having Barrett's esophagus with high-grade dysplasia. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Barrett's esophagus is a well-recognized premalignant condition. There is controversy with regard to the optimal treatment of high-grade dysplasia

6. Mixed reflux of gastric and duodenal juices is more harmful to the esophagus than gastric juice alone. The need for surgical therapy re-emphasized.
OBJECTIVE: The author's goal was to determine the role of duodenal components in the development of complications of gastroesophageal reflux disease. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND DATA: There is a disturbing increase in the prevalence of complications, specifically the development of Barrett's esophagus among patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Earlier s

7. Complications of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Role of the lower esophageal sphincter, esophageal acid and acid/alkaline exposure, and duodenogastric reflux.
The factors contributing to the development of esophageal mucosal injury in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are unclear. The lower esophageal sphincter, esophageal acid and acid/alkaline exposure, and the presence of excessive duodenogastric reflux (DGR) was evaluated in 205 consecutive patients with GERD and various degrees of mucosal injury (no muco

8. Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is an effective treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
OBJECTIVE: The open Nissen fundoplication is effective therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease. In this study, the outcomes in 198 patients treated with the laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication was evaluated for up to 32 months after surgery to ascertain whether similar positive results could be obtained. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: To ensure surgical success

9. A physiologic approach to laparoscopic fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
OBJECTIVE: The authors examined indications, evaluations, and outcomes after laparoscopic fundoplication in patients with gastroesophageal reflux through this single-institution study. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Laparoscopic fundoplication has been performed for less than 5 years, yet the early and intermediate results suggest that this operation is safe an
