TL;DR: There is a strong association between results of baseline screening colonoscopy and rate of serious incident lesions during 5.5 years of surveillance and patients with 1 or 2 tubular adenomas less than 10 mm represent a low-risk group compared with other patients with colon neoplasia.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Most adult asthmatics, regardless of the use of bronchodilator therapy, have abnormal gastroesophageal reflux manifested by increased reflux frequency, delayed acid clearance during the day and night, and diminished lower esophageAL sphincter pressures.
