Okay, so working our way through the GI section for the pants.

Today we're going to be focusing on esophageal disorders, and I'm going to make this a one of two-part

series because there is a lot with the esophagus, so I don't want to pack it all into one

podcast, I feel like it would be a little bit too much. So today we'll be focusing on esophagitis, gird,

and then some motility disorders including acolasia, diffused esophageal

and then something called hyper-contractile or jackhammer softious.

So we'll go through those today.

These are some of the high yield topics for the pants.

And just one other thing, I know I've mentioned this before,

but if you don't mind leaving me review if you like the

podcast it really does help me out so thank you for that so let's start with esophagitis so this is going to be an

inflammation or irritation of the esophagus so as far as the most common cause which we'll be going

over next it's going to be GERD but there's a few other ones that you need to know

in this now there's not a lot you need to know for each one so I'm going to go

through these pretty quickly because there's really only like two to three things you need to know for these.

So esophagitis, you're going to have infectious eosinophilic, pill-induced and caustic or corrosive causes of esophagitis. So all of these are going to present pretty much the same way.

It's going to be a patient presenting with either a dainophasia, which is going to be painless

swallowing, or a dysphagia, which is difficulty swallowing.

So pretty much across the board,

that's how these are gonna present.

And you're gonna diagnose these all pretty much

of the same way, which is gonna be an endoscopy.
