Lymphocyte subsets and cellular immunity in patients with chronic pancreatitis.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIMS:Evaluation of the response of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms to treatment would be facilitated by a brief, valid, reliable and responsive, self-assessed GERD-sensitive scale. We therefore developed the Reflux Questionnaire (ReQuest). This publication describes the psychometric evaluatio...
