Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between H. pylori infection and erosive GERD. The results showed no association between H. pylori infection and erosive GERD. However, smoking, increased BMI, older age, presence of hiatus hernia, and peptic ulcer diseases were significantly associated with GERD.

Summary: The study evaluated the association between reflux esophagitis and fatigue, finding no statistically significant association between reflux esophagitis and daytime sleepiness, fatigue, anxiety, or depression. However, fatigue was associated with GERD symptoms, being women, anxiety, and depression. Further research is needed to clarify the relationship between fatigue and reflux esophagitis.

Summary: The prevalence and severity of erosive esophagitis (EE) increase after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Male gender and post-operative hiatal hernia are independent factors for an increased severity of EE after LSG. The incidence of severe EE after LSG is low for patients without pre-operative EE or grade A EE at baseline.

Summary: The study found a significant correlation between salivary pepsin concentrations and erosive esophagitis (EE), indicating that it may serve as a useful indicator to determine whether asymptomatic patients with low salivary pepsin require esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) to detect any potential complications.

Summary: This article introduces the application of advanced endoscopy techniques in the diagnosis of esophageal inflammatory diseases. Studies have shown that advanced endoscopy techniques can improve the diagnostic performance of white-light endoscopy in non-erosive reflux disease and eosinophilic esophagitis.

Summary: Genetic factors play a role in peptic ulcer disease, with identified loci near certain genes. Genome-wide association analyses on PUD in the UK Biobank reveal shared architecture with other gastrointestinal disorders and potential links with depression.

Summary: Fexuprazan 40 mg is non-inferior to esomeprazole 40 mg in healing erosive esophagitis at week 8. The study suggests that Fexuprazan may be a promising alternative treatment option to PPIs for patients with erosive esophagitis.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of two different toothpastes in preventing enamel erosion caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease. It found that fluoride toothpaste offered greater remineralization after the first acid attack, but there was no difference in long-term prevention.

Summary: The study identified smoking, obesity, and dyslipidemia as early-onset reversible risk factors for AMI in both urban and rural areas. The impact of these factors on onset age differed slightly between urban and rural areas, with patients having these comorbidities experiencing onset at an earlier age.

Summary: Nurses' well-being, health-promoting lifestyle, and work environment satisfaction are crucial for enhancing nurses' care nurse-patient interaction (CNPI) competence. Respecting patients' life experience is the most correlated factor with nurses' well-being, health-promoting lifestyle, and work environment satisfaction among the constructs of CNPI competence.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of nurse-led counseling intervention on functional outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed head and neck cancer who underwent postoperative home-based exercise training. The intervention group showed significant improvements in shoulder pain, shoulder disability, and quality of life scores compared to the control group at 12 weeks post-surgery.

Summary: This study investigated the association between blood glycemic monitoring and the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) among patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after emergent orthopedic surgery during a 1-year follow-up period. The results showed that higher preoperative and postoperative -3-month hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and AC blood glucose levels, as well as the presence of rheumatoid arthritis, were all associated with increased rates of SSI. The thresholds for predicting SSI were identified as preoperative HbA1c > 7.850%, postoperative HbA1c > 6.650%, preoperative AC blood glucose > 130.50 mg/dL, and postoperative AC blood glucose > 148.5 mg/dL. These findings provide useful guidelines for preventing postoperative SSI in patients with T2DM aged over 50 who underwent surgery for lower limb fracture.
