On this episode, I discuss the new medication vonoprazan and where it will likely be used in practice. Vonoprazan is from a brand new class of medication called "PCAB". I discuss this medication and its pharmacology in this podcast episode. Drug interactions and cost are the two major downsides of this medication that will likely limit its use compared to the PPIs. CYP3A4 inducers like rifampin, carbamazepine, and phenytoin should not be used with vonoprazan. They will reduce the effectiveness of vonoprazan.
I read from escutcheon to esophagitis. The word of the episode is "esemplastic".

For our 51st podcast episode, I discussed a contensious topic in the neonatal world, Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Although it is a common occurrence amongst all infants, the lack of updated, clear, and consistent diagnostic and management recommendations remains, especially for the NICU population. Due to my personal and professional experiences, it is difficult for me to have one solid stance on the topic. As a former NICU nurse, I saw so many infants experience reflux. As a NICU parent, my son William, struggled with reflux once we brought him home and yes, at that time, it was managed with medication. And finally, now as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, I am more knowledgeable about what the evidence does and does not show regarding reflux and I understand its complexity. So I can fully appreciate how nurses advocate for their patients. I also completely acknowledge the internal battle parents endure as they helplessly watch their baby grapple with reflux and its associated symptoms, and I also embrace what the research has shown and why providers do not hastily start infants on reflux medications. Tune in now to learn the difference between Gastroesophageal Reflux and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, some common symptoms, and how it is typically diagnosed. Be amazed as I debunk some of the common myths and conditions that are thought to be associated with GERD. Additionally, listeners will also walk away with a better understanding of the most up-to-date recommendations for the management of GER and GERD including non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments. So sit back and get ready to be empowered as we discuss Gastroesophageal Reflux.

Vidcast: https://youtu.be/V4K0AKnztjM Here are the quickie reports about cutting edge medical and healthcare discoveries this 1st week of June, 2022. A new Swiss perfusion technique keeps donor livers alive and well for up to 3 days while they await transplantation into recipients. In the past, the liver would only tolerate a 12 hour maximum residence outside the human body. The additional time allows transportation for longer distances as well as the laboratory and tissue testing necessary to assume a good match and long-term function. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-022-01354-7 From NY's Rockefeller University comes the news that a new synthetic antibiotic called cilagicin capably neutralizes even the nastiest, drug resistant bacteria including MRSA and C. difficile. The drug is based on a computer prediction regarding the type of molecule a bacterium would create to protect itself from its more aggressive cousins. Cilagicin works effectively by combining 2 molecules that together irreversibly weaken bacterial cells walls. Existing antibiotics have only one such molecule. The drug works in mice and is non-toxic to humans. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abn4213 A spoon full of sugar……. You know the rest. MIT bioengineers and Harvard gastroenterologists have a better way to make the medicines go down for those with difficulties swallowing, say after a stroke, or an aversion to pills and capsules as do most kids. Their better mousetrap is a gel-based drug delivery platform using gels composed of plant-based oils including sesame oil. The gels can be produced with different viscosities and flavors. Clinical studies are slated to begin soon. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abm8478 The FDA has announced the first drug approved for the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis. The drug is dupilumab and its better known as Dupixent. Its now approved for use in adults and teens 12 years and over weighing at least 88 pounds. Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic inflammation that triggers swallowing problems with food trapping on the way down to the stomach. Dupixent is about 60% effective in reducing the eosinophils populating the esophagus and driving this disorder. No word yet on insurance coverage. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-treatment-eosinophilic-esophagitis-chronic-immune-disorder There you have the latest health reveals for the 1st week of June, 2022.

Welcome to another Episode of Talking Gut, where I get to interview leading specialists in the area of gastroenterology and related systems. In today's episode I had the honour to interview the Worlds leading expert on Esophageal Disorders, Prof John Pandalfino. Prof Pandolfino is a Hans Popper Professor of Medicine and chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and was also the director at the Esophageal Center at Northwestern Medicine between 2011-2015. His CV is 27 pages way too long to cover in this introduction, but lets just say, he has multiple hospital and administrative appointments, is recipients of multiple grants and awards, Editor in chief for highly regarded Gastroenterology journals and is himself author and co-author of books, book chapters and over 200 research articles. He’s also a really nice down to earth guy. If there is anything you want to know about Esophageal Disorders, Prof Pandolfino is the person to speak to. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder or GERD, and both Esophageal and extra-esophageal syndromes. Diagnosis of GERD and how to treat it. We talked about his unique way of treating GERD via his GERD Precision Texas Holdem approach. We also covered other areas, including Functional Heart Burn The link between Gastrointestinal transit and Reflux We talked about belching or burping We talked about rumination We also talked about eosinophilic esophagitis and a whole lot more. This talk provides a wealth of information for medical and allied health professionals and well as the interested general public. I hope you enjoy my talk with Prof John Pandolfino.
In today's episode, Dr Nirala Jacobi is in conversation with renowned SIBO specialist, Naturopathic Gastroenterologist and Professor, Dr Steven Sandberg-Lewis. Dr Sandberg-Lewis is a highly regarded and well known naturopathic physician. He has been a professor at the National University of Naturopathic Medicine (NUNM) since 1985, in Portland, Oregon. Dr Sandberg-Lewis has a part-time clinical practice and is the author of several Townsend Letter award-winning articles, and of the medical textbook ‘Functional Gastroenterology: Assessing and Addressing the Causes of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders'. He has also been named one of the Top Docs in Portland Oregon in 2014. Topics discussed include: How are proton pump inhibitors (PPI) related to SIBO? How the 3 main secretions at the upper gate of the small intestine are bacteriostatic, and how hypochlorhydria and PPI use can support SIBO development. Heidelberg testing and Weakly Acid Reflux. How alkaline reflux can trigger the same symptoms as acid reflux. Loss of stomach mucosa in the absence of the acidic trigger. Atrophic gastritis - what is it and how common is it? Is reflux after meals normal? Esophagitis - what causes it and what is it? The role of alkaline saliva in bathing the esophagus to help neutralise acid that may come up. Leaky mucosa in the stomach, the connection to PPIs, and the link to food intolerances and allergies. Dilated intercellular spaces (DIS) in the oesophagus and superficial nerve irritation in the oesophagus. Do we use the same leaky gut healers for the upper gut - the stomach and DIS? Dry mouth as a symptom of anxiety and sympathetic dominance, and the importance of relaxation in prompting saliva to bathe the oesophagus. Dr SSL and Dr Jacobi use therapies including glutamine, zinc carnosine, n-acetyl glucosamine, gamma oryzanol, quercetin, and demulcents to help heal DIS. If a client has slight Barrett's or erosive esophagitis and is put on lifelong PPIs, is this the appropriate course of action to support? How do we slowly wean people off PPIs? Sliding hiatal hernia and the possible cause of reflux. What is the difference between hiatal hernia syndrome and an actual hiatal hernia? Advanced diabetes and issues related to autonomic neuropathy, such as silent reflux. Laryngopharyngeal reflux, the typical symptoms to look out for, and conditions it is linked to. Enlarged tonsils and the connection to laryngopharyngeal reflux. How do we test for low stomach acid? Riddler's reflex point for stomach acid. Pectoralis major test for hypochlorhydria. Heidelberg test. Bile Reflux - what causes it? Dysplasia and cancer of the lower oesophagus and the theory linking these conditions to duodenal gastroesophageal reflux. What treatment can we do for Bile Reflux? The importance of endorphins and enkephalins in the contraction of the sphincters in the body. Chapman's reflex point to improve the tone of the pylorus (taught by Dr SSL in the GI practicum in November) Nutrients to help to heal Barrett's and prevent cancer include selenium, turmeric, green tea catechins, anthocyanidins (found in berries and colourful fruits and vegetables). Top causes of reflux to pay attention to besides SIBO: Hiatal hernia Hiatal hernia syndrome Pancreatic insufficiency Spasmodic diaphragm Anxiety, or conditions that decrease client's saliva or makes saliva more acidic (eg sjogren's, elderly) Digestive Support for lack of saliva production Use zanthoxylum (prickly ash) - 1-2 drops on the tongue, and/or bitters as a digestive stimulant. Pilocarpine lozenges What is Dr SSL's opinion on methane and PPI use - being there there is potential for PPI users to have less methane output, and conversely for Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) users to have increased methane production. What is the appropriate dose of HCl for patients and should we use capsules or tablets? The combination use of bitters plus HCl. Rebound hyperacidity - why can it occur after taking PPIs? Buteyko breathing for upper digestive symptoms. Resources GI Practicum in Australia on 10th-11th of November 2018 Reserve your spot Healing Leaky Gut, stomach, and DIS Dr SSL and Dr Jacobi use therapies including glutamine, zinc carnosine, n-acetyl glucosamine, gamma oryzanol, quercetin, and demulcents.

Today I’ve got a Q & A session for you! I receive lots of questions from you all, and I love taking time out to respond in the hopes that I can shed light on how to deal with some of your health concerns. Too often, the answers that medical professionals will give you are only masking the problem, and my mission is to make sure you get the whole story. In this episode, I cover questions on how to change your diet if you’re pre-diabetic, how stress affects your arteries, and much more. And if you're eager for more question-and-answer exchanges, don't forget to join my Healthy Rebels Private Facebook Group, in addition to tuning in to this show.

Drs Stuart Spechler and Peter Kahrilis discuss GERD and esophagitis--how they occur and how they are treated. Dr Spechler also discusses a new hypothesis regarding how reflux esophagitis is caused that differs from the traditional teaching that acid and pepsin reflux into the esophagus and burn the mucosa layers.

This month we have Dr. Tony Ljuldjuraj and Brian Leber as our host doctors, along with special guest Dr. Sandeep Gupta from Riley Pediatric Gastroenterology (GI). Food allergies and effective time out practices will be covered, and Dr. Gupta will discuss a hot topic affecting many children today: Eosinophilic Esophagitis, or EOE. Listen in to learn about this disease and its treatment. The doctors also have something to share about cleaning a pacifier in a parent's mouth - is this an ok way to clean it? Finally, we answer last month's medical trivia question, which was: "What is the longest a human has gone without sleep?" Topic Times! Health News - Pacifier Cleaning -- 1:54 Eosinophilic Esophagitis -- 3:51 Parenting Tips - Effective Time Out -- 11:40 Food Allergies -- 13:31 Trivia -- 20:29 This episode was recorded in December of 2013.
Background: To identify dose-volume parameters predictive for severity of acute esophagitis (CTC > grade 2) in locally-advanced non small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) patients treated with neoadjuvant concurrent hyperfractionated-accelerated chemoradiotherapy (HA-CRT) a retrospective analysis was performed. 88 patients were treated with HA-CRT followed by radical surgery. Predictive power of absolute oesophageal length, absolute and relative oesophageal volume included in the 95%-isodose, patient-and tumor-related factors for severity of acute esophagitis was assessed. Findings: A total of 82 patients (93%) developed radiation-induced acute esophagitis. Grade 1 was documented in 1 (1%), grade 2 in 55 (67%), grade 3 in 23 (28%) and grade 4 in 3 (4%) patients, respectively. Absolute oesophageal volume included in the 95%-isodose (42.8 Gy) achieved 13.5 cm(3) (range: 3 - 29 cm(3)). Of the tested variables in univariate analysis, absolute oesophageal volume included in the 95%-Isodose was found to be the only significant variable (p = 0.03) predicting severe acute esophagitis (CTC > grade 2). For this volume a gradation scale of the likelihood of severity was built. Conclusion: Increase of absolute oesophageal volume included in the 95%-isodose correlates with severity of acute esophagitis in LA-NSCLC patients treated with neo-adjuvant concurrent HA-CRT.
A study in the November 2009 Gastroenterology looks at a possible alternative concept for the development of reflux esophagitis.
