“…To restore normal gastrointestinal tract function, mechanical repair might be required through endoscopy (transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) and Stretta®) or surgery. Currently, laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is the recognized standard of care for patients with GERD that has not responded to other treatments [26].…”

BackgroundGastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal tract diseases. Although there is a strong association between smoking and GERD, it is poorly understood until now. Electronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes) are widely used nowadays. So, our study aimed to investigate the prevalence of GERD among all Jeddah university students and its relation to E-cigarette smoking. MethodologyA cross-sectional study was conducted among university students of all specialties in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, using an online questionnaire to collect data distributed in a Google Form (Google LLC, Mountain View, California, United States) from August to November 2022. ResultsThis study included 397 students, 36.5% of whom were from 18 to 20 years old, and the majority were females (69.3%). Of the participants, 43.8% were non-smokers, 13.1% were ex-smokers, and 43.1% currently smoked; of the last, 13.6% smoked tobacco cigarettes, 17.6% smoked hookah, and 35% were current Ecigarette smokers. The study found that among the participants, 19.9% had GERD based on the GerdQ, with females having a significantly higher percentage of GERD. A weak association was found between the prevalence of GERD and smoking cigarettes (p=0.49), hookah (p=0.988 ), and E-cigarettes (p=0.788 ) but this could be attributed to the high BMI. ConclusionE-cigarette smoking is more prevalent among university students in Jeddah than traditional cigarettes or hookah. However, there was no statistically significant link between E-cigarette smoking and GERD. High BMI could be a superadded factor.

Introduction: Barrett’s esophagus is a common condition with serious complictions. Objective: This is a review of Barrett’s esophagus as it is an important topic. Method: This is a review of papers on Europe PMC (https://europepmc.org/) as a trusted academic engine concerning Barrett’s Esophagus. The search included a specific keyword (Barrett’s) then (AND) then specific related keywords. Papers from the last five years were preferred, with no exclusion. Excel 2010 was utilized for data management. Results: From 13,542 studies concerning (Barrett’s) on the previously mentioned search, 2,402 papers (17.7 %) were in Case reports, 6,067 articles (44.8%) were in Reviews, 1,993 studies (14.7 %) were in Clinical trials, and 3,080 papers (22.7 %) were in Miscellaneous. The author organizes the diagnostic tests, medical, and surgical treatments of Barrett’s Esophagus to facilitate easy remembering. Conclusions: Barrett’s esophagus is a serious gastrointestinal disorder that can increase the risk of developing esophageal cancer. Suspicion of diagnosis is crucial and the treatment strategies for Barrett’s esophagus aim to alleviate symptoms, control GERD, and reduce the risk of cancer.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent condition that affects a significant portion of the Western population. Despite its benign pathophysiology, it has the potential to cause serious complications over time, ranging from conditions that are benign, premalignant, and/or malignant. Traditional treatment options include lifestyle measures, anti-secretory medications (e.g., proton pump inhibitor (PPI)), and surgical options (e.g., Nissen and Toupet fundoplication). However, recent studies have revealed long-term side effects of anti-secretory medications. Moreover, surgical options, though effective, are considered invasive and associated with potential complications. In the current age of ongoing research in minimally invasive options, endoscopic treatment of GERD has become popular. As a result, procedures such as radiofrequency treatment and transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) have gained FDA approval and are currently being covered by most insurance. In this review article, we will discuss pre-procedural workup, appropriate patient selection, advantages, disadvantages, procedure techniques, and follow-up of patients who undergo various endoscopic treatments for GERD. In addition, we will review the short and long-term success of these techniques in improving quality of life, use of PPI, and improvement in symptoms considering published data in high-quality peer-reviewed journals.
