Charlie Berger, a 58-year-old obese man, comes to a nurse practitioner because he has difficulty swallowing, heartburn, and occasional regurgitation. Answering his nurse practitioner’s questions, Mr. Berger says that his symptoms worsen when he drinks coffee or alcohol.   Endoscopy reveals inflammation in his lower esophagus and poor closure of the lower esophageal sphincter. There is no evidence of esophageal narrowing or movement of the proximal stomach into the thorax.   The nurse practitioner diagnoses gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and tells Mr. Berger to do the following: • Take proton-pump inhibitor drugs to reduce gastric acid. • Elevate the head of his bed. • Avoid eating large meals, especially near bedtime. • Enter a weight-loss program. • Reduce his use of caffeine and alcohol.   Answer the following questions about Mr. Berger and gastroesophageal reflux disease.     2. Why did his nurse practitioner suggest that Mr. Berger avoid eating large meals, especially near bedtime?   3. Why did his nurse practitioner check to see if Mr. Berger had movement of the proximal stomach into the thorax?

Tissue regeneration & repair

Tissue regeneration involves the restoration of tissue components by regrowth of damaged tissues. In contrast, tissue repair involves patching of injured tissue rather than restoring it. It is the proliferative capacity of the cells that decides the amount of regeneration against the repair that would occur in the tissue. Both regeneration and repair depending on the duration of the injury and response to the inflammation.
