(GERD) is a disorder involving troublesome symptoms associated with persistent reflux
of gastric contents into the esophagus. Symptoms include heartburn, cough,
epigastric pain, vomiting, and regurgitation.GERD is proposed to have 5 distinct

Dexlansoprazole is a new proton
pump inhibitor (PPI) with a dual delayed-release system. Both dexlansoprazole
and esomeprazole are an enantiomer of lansoprazole and omeprazole respectively.TAKE HOME MESSAGEThis study aims to compare the efficacy of Dexlansoprazole with Esomeprazole
in healing erosive oesophagitis (EO), the maintenance of healed...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are two pathological conditions
often strictly related, even if a clear relationship of causality has not been
demonstrated.
GERD is a frequent comorbidity in
IPF patients, as demonstrated using combined multichannel intraluminal
impedance-pH, despite being...
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are widely considered the
mainstay of medical treatment for GERD. Multiple publications have raised questions about adverse
events, raising doubts about the safety of long-term use and increasing concern
about overprescribing of PPIs. This guideline provides updated, evidence-based recommendations and
practical...

Nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB)
may differ based on duration of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) action and Helicobacter
pylori (H. pylori) infection; NAB may influence esophageal
acidification (EA) and mucosal damage.
Dexlansoprazole, a long-acting PPI,...
GERD is associated with substantial
reductions in subjective well-being, lower work productivity, and increased
healthcare use. The GERD in the Asia Pacific Survey (GAPS) found that GERD had
a negative impact on well-being for 94% of respondents in terms of stress (68%
of respondents), restrictions to daily activities (50%), and reduced wor...
