HEARTBURN
Date of publication: 07/25/1986 For cast, rating and other information, (click here) By Roger Ebert
Maybe Nora Ephron should have based her story on somebody else's marriage. That way, she could have provided the distance and perspective that good comedy needs. Instead, she based "Heartburn" - first her novel and now her screenplay - on her own marriage. And she apparently had too much anger to transform the facts into entertaining fiction. This is a bitter, sour movie about two people who are only marginally interesting.
The characters are Rachel, a New York writer, and Mark, a Washington political columnist. The originals for the characters are Ephron and Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein, whom she married and then divorced when she learned he was having affairs.
In the movie, the characters are played by Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson, and just by seeing their names on the marquee you'd figure the movie would have to be electrifying. But it's not. Here is the story of two people with no chemistry, played by two actors with great chemistry. The only way they can get into character is to play against the very things we like them for.
Streep seems dowdy and querulous. Nicholson seems to be a shallow creep. Their romance never really seems real, never seems important and permanent. So when he starts fooling around, we don't feel the enormity of the offense. There's not much in their marriage for him to betray.

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder. It is also called heartburn and acid indigestion. It is the backward flow of acid from the stomach up into the esophagus.
What causes heartburn?
  • The digestive system turns food into energy and removes waste from the body. It is made up of the mouth, esophagus (tube to the stomach), the small and large intestine, and the rectum. In normal digestion, a muscle called the LES (see figure below) blocks the esophagus so acid from the stomach can't go back up into the throat. Heartburn happens when the muscle doesn't work right and lets acid from the stomach back up into the throat. Infants and children can get heartburn if their digestive system is not working right yet.

- Heartburn (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-GERD) is a sensation of warmth or burning located in the chest or high in the epigastrium with radiation into the neck and occasionally to the arms.
- Occasional heartburn is common in normal persons, but frequent and severe heartburn is generally a manifestation of esophageal dysfunction. Causes of HEARTBURN
- Heartburn (GERD) is caused by the reflux of the gastric acid and intestinal contents back up the esophagus causing burning sensations, esophageal mucosal damage and in some cases, mucosal erosion (erosive esophagitis).
- Many factors may promote heartburn by reducing lower esophageal sphincter (LES) tone, delaying gastric emptying, increasing acid secretion, or impairing the gastroesophageal pressure gradient. Factors that may reduce lower esophageal tone possibly causing heartburn:
- Certain beverages and foods such as alcohol, chocolate, caffeine, fatty or greasy foods, spearmint, peppermint.

Virtual Journals Letters Resources, Energy, Heartburn for Academic Physics The article "The Business of Academic Physics," by John Rigden and James Stith ( Physics Today, November 2003, page 45 As a countermeasure, I decided that the students themselves should give the talks. At the beginning of the semester, I gave a pep talk and had the students write on the blackboard all the possible careers outside academia that they had heard of or were curious about. Volunteers then offered to research each area: What does the job entail, what qualifications are needed? Is extra training necessary, and if so, what are the best places to do that? Who are the leading employers, what are the lifestyle and pay scale like, and what are the special benefits? The volunteer would also be able to contact and interview alumni. Then each week, a different volunteer would present the seminar and answer questions. The outcome of this was that the students first of all learned how to research a career and became confident of their broadened research ability, as opposed to the research that they were familiar with. They understood that they could take control of their lives. They shared their work, so that for the effort of researching one career, they received in return the benefits of the research of a dozen other people. Students also realized that the outside world was approachable and not so distant from them.

Patient Notes
Heartburn and GERD
VOL 105 / NO 7 / JUNE 1999 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE 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. 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. Heartburn is the primary symptom of GERD. The term GERD has been used for about 20 years but has only recently gained public attention. In the United States, about 95 million people 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. Heartburn tends to be common during pregnancy because of increased pressure on the stomach. About 25% of pregnant women have heartburn, but it usually goes away after delivery.

Digestive Problems Common Symptoms - Indigestion or Heartburn (Dyspepsia) Dyspepsia is the medical term which describes upper abdominal ("epigastric") discomfort which occurs after eating. It is a full feeling, often associated with nausea, presumably due to distention of the stomach, and irritation by acid. It is usually provoked or made worse by large, spicy or fatty meals. Dyspepsia usually settles spontaneously after 30 minutes to an hour, but can be relieved in most cases by taking some form of "antacid" medicine. Many people have some dyspepsia or indigestion from time to time, particularly when eating (or drinking) unwisely. However, recurrent or increasing dyspepsia can be a sign of serious disease, and warrants investigation, especially if it is associated with other worrying symptoms such as weight loss, reduced appetite, or vomiting

Questions Answers on Laparoscopic Treatment of heartburn. Severe cases of heartburn may be treated with extensive drug therapy or surgically corrected.
http://www.upmc.edu/minsurg/Heartburn.htm
Minimally Invasive Surgery Minimally Invasive Surgery Home Page General Information Procedures What's New Frequently Asked Questions Educational Opportunities Faculty and Staff How to Contact Us Bariatric Surgery Support Group Heartburn
More than 44% of all adults in the United States (61 million people)experience this uncomfortable, burning sensation at least once a month. For most, it's an occasional occurrence that is easily relieved with an over-the-counter antacid. But for others, heartburn is a daily struggle that has changed the way they live their lives - from what they eat, to how they sleep, to the type of clothes they can wear. Severe cases of heartburn may be treated with extensive drug therapy or surgically corrected. The traditional surgical procedure, known as Nissen fundoplication, involves a large incision, a hospital stay of 6 to 10 days and a recovery period of 6 to 8 weeks. As a result, surgery has typically been limited to those patients with extreme or life-threatening conditions. Now, a laparoscopic technique makes it possible to perform the same operation in a minimally invasive manner. Most patients go home in 2 or 3 days with only 5 tiny marks and, in most cases, can return to work and other normal activities within a week.
