Esophageal eosinophilic inflammation and remodeling lead to fibrostenosis in many patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)…

The goals of treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are to improve clinical symptoms and histologic features, as well as prevent progression to fibrostenotic complications. Few data currently exist that evaluate the effectiveness of therapies as measured by complete resolution of symptoms…

INTRODUCTION: The goal of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) surveillance is to detect dysplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) at early, treatable stages…

Background: Bile acids comprise a major component of refluxate in GERD, the major risk factor for Barrett’s esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Bile acids are metabolized by bacteria, and bacterial composition is also impacted by exposure to bile acids…
