Abstract
Purpose of review: Supragastric belching (SGB), rumination syndrome (RS), and abdominophrenic dyssynergia are often misunderstood and underdiagnosed syndromes. Better understanding of these conditions is needed to increase recognition and guide treatment.
Recent findings: Diagnosis is typically made by history and physical examination though supplementary evaluations can be considered in difficult to diagnose cases. These diseases are unique in that their optimal therapies are behavioral and focused entirely on the basic physiology of breathing techniques. Once one of these syndromes is recognized, the change in life for these patients can be formidable. As a result, recognition and proper treatment of these syndromes is essential for the gastroenterologist.
期刊介绍:
As the field of gastroenterology and hepatology rapidly evolves, the wealth of published literature can be overwhelming. The aim of the journal is to help readers stay abreast of such advances by offering authoritative, systematic reviews by leading experts. We accomplish this aim by appointing Section Editors who invite international experts to contribute review articles that highlight recent developments and important papers published in the past year. Major topics in gastroenterology are covered, including pediatric gastroenterology, neuromuscular disorders, infections, nutrition, and inflammatory bowel disease. These reviews provide clear, insightful summaries of expert perspectives relevant to clinical practice. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
