A return flow.

a backflow of contents.

Short for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, also commonly known as GERD, it is a chronic condition which afflicts many asthmatics. The esophageal flap which seals the stomach from the lower esophagus does not remain closed when it should, particularly when the patient is reclining, and this allows stomach acid and its fumes, and partially-digested contents to escape upwards through the esophagus. This material can be aspirated into the lungs, triggering an asthma attack. Another relationship exists whereby the processes that work the muscles in the lower esophagus to move the regurgitated contents back into the stomach, also stimulate bronchoconstriction. Effective treatment of GERD in non-allergic asthmatics can significantly improve or even eliminate their asthma symptoms. Clues that GERD may be aggravating asthma include: 1) asthma that occurs for the first time during adulthood 2) asthma that gets worse after meals, lying down or exercise and 3) asthma which gets worse at night.

The movement of stomach contents up into the esophagus. Nearly universal among infants. If excessive, reflux can cause apnea, bradycardia, pneumonia. May be treated with medications, including Reglan and Zantac.

This term usually refers to the regurgitation of stomach contents into the esophagus. This causes heartburn and can even cause a laryngitis-like sensation. Patients with esophageal reflux are at increased risk of developing esophageal cancer.

the outward flow of the tide

Urine that is backing up in the urinary tract instead of flowing downward.

Backflow of the urine to the kidneys.

An abnormal backflow of urine to the kidneys.

Is when urine from the bladder flows back up into the kidneys, and may lead to infection.

Backwash, for example, of stomach contents into the oesophagus causing heartburn.

A backflow from the intended destination.

Flowing back. Usually refers to the entry of urine into the prostate

Backflow or regurgitation.

backward flow of blood in a vein; also known as regurgitation.

Backward flow. Reflux contributes to the development of varicose veins when incompetent leg vein valves let blood flow towards the feet instead of the heart.

the backing up of urine into the ureters and/or kidneys. This happens when the bladder is full and is not regularly emptied.

(of stomach acid) heartburn.

condition that occurs when gastric juices or small amounts of food from the stomach flow back into the esophagus and mouth.

A backward flow of stomach contents usually referring to the splashing of stomach contents back up into the esophagus.

digestive juices, food, and liquids moving backward from the stomach into the esophagus, and possibly into the mouth.

an abnormal backward flow of a fluid.

backward flow, e.g., regurgitation of stomach contents into the esophagus

to flow back or return.

The backflow of urine from the bladder into the ureters and kidney.

A backward flow; regurgitation. Reflux esophagitis Inflammation of the esophagus because of the backwash of stomach contents into the esophagus.

when stomach contents back up into the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach).

Passage of fluid in an abnormal direction, such as reflux of acid from the stomach into the oesophagus

The backward flow of urine from the bladder into the ureter. This usually occurs when the valve mechanism fails to develop properly from birth. The condition is related to urinary tract infections, particularly in girls.

The backward flow of liquid from the stomach into the esophagus.

Backflow Of Gastric Juices Into The Oesophagus

abnormal backward flow of urine from the bladder up the ureters toward the kidney

The flow of liquid back to where it originally came from. For example, there may be back-flow/reflux of urine from the bladder back up to the kidneys.

An abnormal backward or return flow of fluid in a body passage due to failure of the passage's muscle to close fully. One type is the back flow of urine from the bladder into one or both ureters. Persistent urinary reflux may lead to kidney damage.

Backward flow of urine. Also referred to as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). An abnormal condition in which urine backs up from the bladder into the ureters and occasionally into the kidneys, raising the risk of infection.

a backward flow of food to the mouth from the gullet or stomach.

a condition in which urine in the bladder goes back into the kidney pelvis. Creates an environment for frequent infections and also kidney stones

The backflow of stomach contents up into the esophagus.

Backward flow. In the legs this term refers to backward flow of blood allowed when a one-way vein valve malfunctions. Reflux can result in varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency and telangectasias ( spider veins) when the valves inside very tiny veins do not work properly.

The term used when liquid backs up into the esophagus from the stomach.

During distillation some of the heavier flavours with comparatively high boiling points condense from vapour back into liquid form before leaving the still and are redistilled. This is known as reflux, and the greater the degree of reflux the lighter and 'cleaner' the spirit produced. Short, squat stills produce little reflux, compared to tall, slender stills. The angle at which the lyne arm is attached also affects the levels of reflux.

Vapour high in alcohol that returns to the still for further distillation. In pot stills the shape of the Lyne arm can be the reason; in continuous stills it is a method of controlling the final spirit.

Alcoholic vapour which rises up the neck of the still, then falls back before it enters the condenser, to be redistilled. Still designs increase or decrease reflux.
