Abstract: Heartburn is a serious problem for millions of people throughout the world. It feels like a churning, burning sensation behind the breastbone. The burning is caused by stomach acid and digestive juices that splash upward into the esophagus. The burning and pressure symptoms of heartburn can last for several hours and often worsen after eating. GERD is an abbreviation for gastroesophageal reflux disease, which is the name given to frequent heartburn that disrupts life and spoils enjoyment of food and activities.

More than 60 million people in the United States have GERD symptoms or heartburn at least once a month, and about 15 million adults have symptoms every day. GERD can occur in almost anyone, young or old. However, the incidence rises dramatically after age 40; more than 50% of people with GERD are between the ages of 45 and 64. Men and women are equally likely to have GERD, and children, including infants, are sometimes affected. About 25% of pregnant women have heartburn, but it usually goes away after delivery. ...

Product Description
Objective:
To investigate the efficacy and safety of a 14-day treatment period with lansoprazole 15 mg for frequent heartburn in patients who are likely to select a nonprescription medication before consulting a prescriber.
Methods:
Adults with untreated frequent heartburn ≥ 2 days a week over the past month were recruited for 2 identical multicenter, double-blind studies conducted with a 1-week screening and heartburn medication washout, a 1-week placebo run-in, a 2-week placebo-controlled treatment, and a 1-week placebo follow-up. After the washout and placebo run-in, subjects were randomly assigned to receive lansoprazole 15 mg or placebo once daily for 14 days in a double-blind fashion. Antacid tablets were permitted as rescue medication. Endpoints included percentage of 24-hour days without heartburn (primary), percentage of night-times without heartburn, and percentage of subjects without heartburn during day 1 of treatment (secondary endpoints). Data were collected daily via an interactive voice response system.
Results:
In studies 1 and 2, 282 and 288 subjects, respectively, were randomly assigned to lansoprazole, and 282 in each study received placebo. The mean percentage of days without heartburn was greater among lansoprazole recipients compared with placebo recipients (P < 0.0001). Significantly more subjects treated with lansoprazole also reported no night-time heartburn and no heartburn during day 1 of the 14-day treatment. Adverse events were infrequent and were similar for lansoprazole and placebo groups.
Conclusion:
During the 14-day treatment period in a population with frequent heartburn who were likely to select a medication without consulting a prescriber, lansoprazole 15 mg once daily showed rapid and sustained effectiveness throughout a 24-hour period and was well tolerated. ... Read more

Product Description
In 1995, McDonald?s proposed to build a fast-food restaurant in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. News of the proposal sparked a lively community debate that continued for over eight years. Many Blue Mountains residents rallied against the global corporation whom they considered a threat to local businesses and the unique character of the locality. However, other residents in favour of the fast-food development suggested that attempts to ban McDonald's were motivated by culinary elitism and some prejudices towards ?ordinary? working-class people. 'Heartburn at the Gates of Heaven' examines the remarkable debate over place-identity and culture that surrounded the McDonald?s dispute. Using both social theory and psychoanalysis, this book identifies the significance of culture, aesthetics, and social class within the context of urban development politics. ... Read more
