Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between sleep bruxism(SB) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with the use of validated questionnaires in a general population convenience sample.
Methods: SB behaviour was evaluated in accordance with the Subject-Based Assessment strategy recommended in the Standardized Tool for the Assessment of Bruxism (STAB). .To evaluate GERD-related symptoms, the GERD-Q questionnaire was adopted. To study the correlation between current SB and GERD, Spearman test was performed. Mann-Whitney-U test was adopted to compare GERD-related symptoms in two distinct group comparisons based on the presence of current SB and a history of SB, respectively.
Results: A significant but weak positive correlation between current SB and GERD was found ( = .112; = .044). No significant differences in GERD-related symptoms between groups emerged.
Conclusions: This investigation showed a positive but weak correlation between current SB and GERD-related symptoms. Larger scale studies in representative samples are needed to further explore this correlation.

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Related Neoplasms.

Background And Aim: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a widely prevalent disease that severely influences patients' quality of life and is a known risk factor for esophageal adenoma and carcinoma. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a tissue resection technique that involves circumferential en bloc resection of the mucosa that surrounds the tumor followed by dissection of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) submucosa under the lesion. After mucosal resection, the mucosal healing results in scar formation, which in turn results in shrinkage and remodeling of gastric cardia flap valve, thereby theoretically reducing reflux events.

Most GERD patients show improvement with medical treatment, including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs); however, around 40% continue to experience symptoms despite ongoing PPI use. Antireflux mucosal ablation (ARMA) and antireflux mucosectomy (ARMS) are minimally invasive endoscopic procedures for treating GERD.

Background: Limited information is available on long-term quality of life (QoL) outcomes after sleeve gastrectomy compared to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
Methods: These techniques were compared in an open-label randomised controlled trial. This paper focuses on generic health-related QoL (HRQoL) using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey and EuroQol-5 Dimension 3-Level questionnaires and disease-specific QoL (DSQoL), using the Moorehead-Ardelt questionnaire (specifically designed for individuals with obesity to assesses self-esteem, physical activity, work performance, sexual life, eating behaviour, and social interactions)the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GERD-Q); the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI); and the Asthma Control Questionnaire.
The Impact of Endoscopic Gastric Remodeling on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.

Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy is associated with an increased incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). By contrast, the impact of endoscopic gastric remodeling (EGR) on GERD symptoms remains unclear.
Methods: This prospective study included patients who underwent EGR and completed validated GERD-related patient-reported outcome questionnaires at baseline and 12 months postprocedure.
Background And Aim: Asthma control remains suboptimal globally, with high rates of partly and uncontrolled disease. Poor asthma control can be attributed to the severity of the disease, ineffective treatment, and the presence of comorbid conditions such as obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This study represents the first investigation in Syria to explore the relationship between asthma control status and common asthma comorbidities, namely obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
