Erythema at the gastroesophageal junction can be caused by conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, or Helicobacter pylori infection. Irritation and inflammation of the lining of the esophagus and stomach can lead to this redness or erythema at the junction between the two.
Squamous cells in the oesophagus, to columnar cells in the gastric mucosa.
The end bit of the esophagus is the stomach. But before the stomach there's the gastroesophageal junction which leads into the stomach. Just above the junction there is the diaphragm (but that isn't attached to the esophagus) .
Intrinsic diodes are formed by a p-n junction within a single semiconductor material, while extrinsic diodes are formed when impurities are added to a semiconductor material to alter its properties. Intrinsic diodes have natural electrical properties, while extrinsic diodes have controlled electrical properties based on the type and amount of impurities added.
Stricture at the gastroesophageal (GE) junction refers to a narrowing of the area where the esophagus meets the stomach. This condition can result from various causes, including chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammation, or scarring from previous surgeries or injuries. Symptoms may include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, and regurgitation. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies or endoscopy, and treatment options may include dilation procedures or surgery.

An irregular Z line in the gastroesophageal junction refers to a change in the normal appearance of the tissue lining where the esophagus meets the stomach. This can indicate an area of inflammation or damage, possibly due to conditions like acid reflux or Barrett's esophagus. Further evaluation by a healthcare professional may be needed to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
I am suffering from Grade I reflux esophagitis since two months. Is it permanently curable?
Extrinsic is external; intrinsic is internal.
