GERD and NERD
From a different perspective! (Below are readings that I have to do for Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach)
NERD tends to be more common in women and in patients who are approximately a decade younger than patients who develop erosive disease
Hmmm, this is something new. According to the quote above, the nerd culture is more popular among the women than in men! I suppose times are changing…
Although mortality associated with GERD is rare, GERD symptoms may have a significant impact on quality of life
I’m guessing GERD is the female term for nerds. In that case, the nerd culture certainly may have an impact on the quality of life. Think of the less time that a woman spends with her partner as a result of the culture revolution.
(Less time spent = Less courting opportunity = Less reproductive success = No Offspring = Impact on the QoL, yup)
The prevalence of GERD varies depending on the geographic region, but appears highest in Western countries
Naturally – that’s where most technologies related to computers started
Anyways, GERD = Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, NERD = Non-erosive Reflux Disease :p
