Abstract
The relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and reflux esophagitis (RE) was controversial. We investigated the factors influencing RE development in patients with COPD and evaluated the association between RE and AECOPD.Patients with COPD who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy from January 2003 to December 2013 in St. Paul's Hospital, the Catholic University of Korea (Seoul, Korea) were enrolled retrospectively. The grade of RE was based on the Los Angeles classification and minimal change esophagitis. Body mass index, smoking history, medical history, AECOPD, pulmonary function test data, endoscopic findings, and comorbidities were reviewed.Of a total of 218 patients with COPD, 111 (50.9%) were diagnosed with RE. None of age, sex, smoking history, or the severity of airflow limitation was associated with RE. AECOPD was not related to either the presence or severity of RE. There was no significant correlation between RE grade by Los Angeles classification and severity of airflow limitation (P = .625). Those who had RE used theophylline (P = .003) and long-acting muscarinic antagonists (P = .026) significantly more often than did controls. The use of theophylline (OR 2.05; 95% CI, 1.16-3.65, P = .014) was associated with an increased incidence of RE.The use of theophylline might increase the risk of RE in COPD patients. RE may not be associated with airflow limitation or AECOPD.

Abstract
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, usually characterized by chronic airway inflammation, bronchial reversible obstruction and hyperresponsiveness to direct or indirect stimuli. It is a severe disease causing approximately half a million deaths every year and thus possessing a significant public health burden. Stroke is the second leading cause of death and a major cause of disability worldwide. Asthma and asthma medications may be a risk factors for developing stroke. Nevertheless, since asthma is associated with a variety of comorbidities, such as cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory, the increased incidence of stroke in asthma patients may be due to a confounding effect. The purpose of this review is to analyze the complex relationship between asthma and stroke.

Abstract
Asthma is often associated with different comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases, depression, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, osteoporosis, rhinosinusitis and mainly gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and allergic rhinitis. Although bronchodilators play an important role in the treatment of asthma, there is no overall description of their impact on comorbid asthma, regardless of whether favourable or negative. This narrative review examines the potential effects of bronchodilators on comorbidities of asthma.

Abstract
The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has increased in many Western countries and is higher in men than women. Some risk factors for EAC have been identified-mainly gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett's esophagus, obesity, and tobacco smoking. It is not clear whether interventions to address these factors can reduce risk of EAC, although some evidence exists for smoking cessation. Although consumption of alcohol is not associated with EAC risk, other exposures, such as physical activity, nutrition, and medication use, require further study. Genetic variants have been associated with risk for EAC, but their overall contribution is low. Studies are needed to investigate associations between risk factors and the molecular subtypes of EAC. The prognosis for patients with EAC has slightly improved, but remains poor-screening and surveillance trials of high-risk individuals are needed.

Potential Mechanisms of Hematological Adverse Drug Reactions in Patients Receiving Clozapine in Combination With Proton Pump Inhibitors. J Psychiatr Pract 2017; 23:114-120.

Abstract
Clozapine is a second-generation antipsychotic which has proven efficacy in treating the symptoms of schizophrenia. Although clozapine therapy is associated with a number of adverse drug reactions, it is frequently used. One of the most common adverse drug reactions is gastroesophageal reflux disease which is an indication for treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Coadministration of clozapine and PPIs increases the risk of hematological adverse drug reactions, including neutropenia and agranulocytosis. The mechanism in idiosyncratic agranulocytosis is not dose related and involves either a direct toxic or an immune-allergic effect. It is suspected that the clozapine metabolites nitrenium ion and N-desmethylclozapine may cause apoptosis or impair growth of granulocytes. Formation of N-desmethylclozapine is correlated with activity of the cytochrome P450 enzymes 1A2 and 3A4 (CYP1A2 and CYP3A4). Nitrenium ion is produced by the flavin-containing monooxygenase system of leukocytes. A drug interaction between clozapine and a PPI is a consequence of the induction of common metabolic pathways either by the PPI or clozapine. Findings to date suggest that indirect induction of flavin-containing monooxygenase by omeprazole through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor increases the expression of the enzyme mRNA and in the long term may cause the increase in activity. Moreover, induction of CYP1A2, especially by omeprazole and lansoprazole, may increase the serum concentration of N-desmethylclozapine, which can accumulate in lymphocytes and may achieve toxic levels. Another hypothesis that may explain hematological adverse drug reactions is competitive inhibition of CYP2C19, which may contribute to increased serum concentrations of toxic metabolites.

Abstract
Clozapine (CLZ) is the drug of choice for the treatment of resistant schizophrenia; however, its suitable use is limited by the complex adverse effects' profile. The best-described adverse effects in the literature are represented by agranulocytosis, myocarditis, sedation, weight gain, hypotension, and drooling; nevertheless, there are other known adverse effects that psychiatrists should readily recognize and manage. This review covers the "rare" and "very rare" known adverse effects of CLZ, which have been accurately described in literature. An extensive search on the basis of predefined criteria was made using CLZ and its combination with adverse effects as keywords in electronic databases. Data show the association between the use of CLZ and uncommon adverse effects, including ischemic colitis, paralytic ileus, hematemesis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, priapism, urinary incontinence, pityriasis rosea, intertriginous erythema, pulmonary thromboembolism, pseudo-pheochromocytoma, periorbital edema, and parotitis, which are influenced by other variables including age, early diagnosis, and previous/current pharmacological therapies. Some of these adverse effects, although unpredictable, are often manageable if promptly recognized and treated. Others are serious and potentially life-threatening. However, an adequate knowledge of the drug, clinical vigilance, and rapid intervention can drastically reduce the morbidity and mortality related to CLZ treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) patients generally present with heartburn as the main symptom. Antidepressants might help to relieve heartburn by acting on the esophagus-brain axis. We aimed to assess the effect of nortriptyline on behavioral and brain responses to painful esophageal acid infusion in NERD patients evaluated with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). METHODS In a randomized double-blind crossover design, 20 NERD patients off proton pump inhibitors (36.1 ± 9.3 years, 75% women) were assigned to 21 days of nortriptyline and placebo, in counterbalanced order, with a 21 days washout period in between both treatment periods. Changes in acid-induced brain response on fMRI and heartburn perception were assessed and at the end of each treatment. KEY RESULTS Nortriptyline significantly reduced the acid-induced brain response in prefrontal cortex (median [IQR]: -1.9 [-4.5 to -0.1] vs -0.3 [-2.5 to 2.3]; p = 0.050), caudate (-3.0 [-5.1 to -0.01] vs 0.48 [-1.9 to 3.1]; p = 0.029), insula (-2.4 [-4.8 to -0.6] vs -0.2 [-1.5 to 1.5]; p = 0.029), cingulate (-4.2 [-8.8 to -0.1] vs -0.6 [-1.8 to 3.0]; p = 0.017), and hippocampus (-2.7 [-6.0 to 0.5] vs -0.04 [-2.3 to 1.9]; p = 0.006) in comparison with placebo. However, there was no significant difference between nortriptyline and placebo in clinical outcomes and side effects. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Nortriptyline decreased the brain response to esophageal acid infusion more markedly than placebo, but without clinical significance.

Abstract
Clozapine is regarded as a second-line and in some cases last-line antipsychotic known for its common life-threatening side effects, such as agranulocytosis, constipation and cardiomyopathies, but rarely haematemesis. We report a case of severe haemetemesis in a chronic schizophrenic patient managed with clozapine. The patient was a 46-year-old male being managed for chronic schizophrenia with treatment resistance who developed sudden severe haematemesis following commencement of clozapine for 6 weeks. The patient had 1.1 l of blood transfusion. The relevant literature is reviewed. Clozapine can be associated with a life-threatening haematemesis. Psychiatrists and other medical specialists need to be alert to the fatality of clozapine-induced haematemesis in the treatment of psychiatric disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish the temporal relationship between prescription of acid-suppressant therapy, GORD and clozapine prescribing. METHOD In this retrospective cohort study, we identified out-patients prescribed clozapine and other atypical antipsychotics (AAP) and compared times and rates of prescribing of acid-suppressant therapy. Odds ratios were calculated. RESULTS Of 352 patients on clozapine and 358 patients on other AAP, there were 74 (21.0%) and 23 (6.7%) patients prescribed acid-suppressant therapy respectively [OR = 3.9 (95% CI: 2.4-6.4) P ≤ 0.0001]. In 67 of 74 cases (90.5%) vs. 18 of 23 cases (81.8%), acid-suppressant therapy began after the start of the antipsychotic. Clozapine patients were more likely to be prescribed acid-suppressant therapy within the first 5 years of initiation than those on other AAP (P = 0.039). Where indication for acid-suppressant therapy was known, it was prescribed for GORD in 44 of 62 (71.0%) of the clozapine patients and 6 of 13 (46.2%) of those on other AAP (P = 0.109). Rate of known GORD was 44 of 352 (12.5%) for clozapine and 6 of 358 (1.7%) for other atypicals [OR = 8.4 (95% CI: 3.5-19.9) P ≤ 0.0001]. CONCLUSION Clozapine was associated with higher rates of GORD and acid-suppressant therapy prescribing than other AAP. There was a clear temporal relationship between the prescribing of clozapine and the later use of acid-suppressant therapy. These observations strongly suggest that prescription of clozapine was associated with the onset of GORD.
