Medical - Medical (general) / gastroscopy

Italian term or phrase: atrofica

This is part of a report of a patient's gastric exam (una esofagogastroduodenoscopia!). The report ends with the doctor's conclusions:

'Conclusioni: gastrite cronica ad evoluzione *strofica* in verosimile reflusso biliare duodeno-gastrico.'

It's easier to find the longer technical terms, but I don't know what to do with 'strofica'.

I tried to look up this word in the De Mauro online Italian dictionary -- and they've removed it! That is a big loss :(

Thanks for the help.

strofico strophic

Explanation:
that is broken up into regular sections, like the poetry to which the term alludes. Italian MDs have quite a deep cultural education, unlike their US counterparts.

Asker: Ciao Cedric. 'Strophic' is of course a much more poetic translation, and I agree that we could use more poetry in the U.S. medical system :)
