An esophagastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at the time demonstrated erosive esophagitis with a visible vessel and was treated with a PPI. A repeat scope the following month no longer demonstrated a vessel but identified a 10 cm ulcerative gastric cardia mass at the GE junction. Forcep biopsies showed a...

Patients receiving sodium alginate had fewer onsets of G3 esophagitis; however, differences compared with arm C were not significant (A vs. C: p = 0.46; B vs. C: p = 0.28). The rates of grade 3 or worse non-hematologic toxicities besides esophagitis were 29%, 26%, and 43% in arms...
Neutropenia was the most common toxicity during induction therapy (26% expressed grade 3-4) whereas esophagitis was the most common toxicity during concurrent phase (17.3% expressed grade 3-4); toxicities were manageable. Induction chemotherapy by docetaxel and cisplatin followed by weekly docetaxel ...
Yuan Y, Vinh B, Hunt RH: Nonhealed rate of moderate-severe (LA Classification Grade C and D) erosive esophagitis after 4–8 weeks proton pump inhibitors (PPIs): evidence of an unmet need. Gastroenterology 2009, 136(Suppl):A440.
The dosimetric parameters predictive of esophagitis are: mean dose, V20Gy, V30Gy, V40Gy, V45Gy and V50Gy. Amifostine is the only drug to have a proven radioprotective efficacy (evidence level C, ESMO recommendation grade III). The medical management of esophagitis associates a diet excluding ...

Regular gastroscopic controls are planned. Conclusion: Pseudodiverticulosis of the esophagus is a very rare disease which ...
反流性食管炎（Reflux esophagitis，RE），也称为胃食管反流病，是由食管抗反流功能下降、食管清除能力降低以及食管黏膜防御屏障作用减弱等因素引起的食管黏膜破损。此疾病通常伴随食管下括约肌异常和胃食管交界处结构改变，如食管裂孔疝，弱化了抗反流机制，使得胃内容物容易发生反流。此外，糖尿病、硬皮病等病症也常常...
