Disease relevance of Hernia, Hiatal

• Radiologic examinations revealed hiatal hernias, gastroesophageal reflux, esophagitis, and strictures [1].
• CONCLUSIONS: Hiatal hernia is the key factor determining the lansoprazole dosage required for effective intra-oesophageal acid suppression in complicated and atypical gastro-oesophageal reflux disease [2].
• The two groups were not different in regard to their symptom frequency and severity before therapy, amount of lansoprazole dosage required to eliminate symptoms, length of Barrett's metaplasia, presence of hiatal hernia, lower esophageal sphincter resting tone and length, or esophageal peristaltic function [3].
• Bradycardia associated with hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux relieved by surgery [4].
• A man known to have familial dysautonomia presented with a cardiac arrhythmia due to development of hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux [4].

High impact information on Hernia, Hiatal

• CONCLUSIONS: Obese subjects are more likely to have EGJ disruption (leading to hiatal hernia) and an augmented GEPG providing a perfect scenario for reflux to occur [5].
• Hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux: another attempt to resolve the controversy [6].
• CONCLUSIONS: Familial inheritance of hiatal hernia does occur [7].
• RESULTS: Large hiatal hernia was the likely cause of anaemia in 21 patients (9.2%) [8].
• Hiatal hernia is the key factor determining the lansoprazole dosage required for effective intra-oesophageal acid suppression [2].

Chemical compound and disease context of Hernia, Hiatal

• These patients were screened with capillary fragility tests and serum ascorbic acid determinations from approximately 200 hiatal hernia and reflux patients [9].
• The symptoms at review were assessed and graded according to previously published criteria (Orringer MB, Skinner DB, Besley HR. Long-term results of the mark IV operation for hiatal hernia and analyses of recurrences and their treatment. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1972;63:25-31) [10].
• Mixed-type hiatal hernia mimicking pulmonary cystic lesion diagnosed by oral urografin in ED [11].
• Hiatal hernia with reflux resulting in false positive iodine-131 scan [12].
• Chest x-ray was suggestive of paraesophageal hernia in all of them but the diagnosis was confirmed by Barium swallow and meal [13].

Biological context of Hernia, Hiatal

• Gastric emptying was measured using a modification of the double-sampling dye dilution technique in 16 children with gastroesophageal reflux and partial thoracic stomach (hiatal hernia), 13 with reflux per se, and 12 controls with nonspecific vomiting [14].
• It is concluded, that GER patients with hiatal hernia present with an increased amount of reflux and more severe esophagitis, which results in more severely impaired esophageal peristalsis as compared to patients without hernia [15].

Anatomical context of Hernia, Hiatal

• Gastric acid secretion was assessed by endoscopic gastrin test, and the presence of hiatal hernia by endoscopy [16].
• Therefore a comprehensive study of benign lesions of the esophagus, such as achalasia, hiatal hernia, and the gastroesophageal reflux complex including peptic stricture, was undertaken among Nigerians resident in the African environment [17].
• Mitral valve prolapse and severe gastroesophageal reflux with hiatal hernia were found in a girl aged 2 years, 4 months with Cohen syndrome [18].
• Aneurysm of ascending aorta by angiography, and mild gastroesophageal reflux with hiatal hernia by panendoscopy were noted [19].

Gene context of Hernia, Hiatal

• The combined Collis gastroplasty-Belsey Mark IV fundoplication was used in 86 patients with uncomplicated hiatal hernia followed for up to 8 years [20].
• Radiological cases of the month. Congenital hiatal hernia [21].
• Other concomitant problems included are thymoma, bronchogenic carcinoma, and hiatal hernia [22].
• (Orringer MB, Skinner DB, Belsey RHR. Long-term results of the Mark IV operation for hiatal hernia and analyses of recurrences and their treatment. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1972;63:25-33) [23].
• We report a female offspring from consanguineous parents suffering from microcephaly, profound psychomotor retardation, epilepsy, hiatal hernia, and striking cerebellar atrophy in whom a nephrotic syndrome became apparent at age 16 years [24].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Hernia, Hiatal

• Intraoperative and postoperative esophageal manometric findings with Collis gastroplasty and Belsey hiatal hernia repair for gastroesophageal reflux [25].
• Indications for reoperation were inadequate myotomy, 17; gastroesophageal reflux, 14; concomitant antireflux operation, six; incorrect diagnosis, four; carcinoma of the esophagus, four; megaesophagus, three; and paraesophageal hernia, one [26].
• We describe a 77-year-old patient with gastropericardial fistula occurring 5 years after laparoscopic surgery for hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux [27].
• Ultrasonography can be recommended as a useful and physiological screening test to demonstrate clinically significant GER and a predisposing hiatal hernia of the esophagus in symptomatic children [28].
• Although this appearance could be seen with mediastinal, pulmonary, or prevertebral metastases, hiatal hernia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of uptake in the thoracic midline on I-131 scintigraphy [29].
