This chapter discusses some of the most frequent immunological diseases of the GI tract likely to be encountered in the clinic, including autoimmune gastritis, chronic Helicobacter pylori gastritis, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs; Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, microscopic colitis,...
Images in this section cover vast array of lesions in every part of the GI tract involved by mechanical obstruction, infection and inflammation, ischemic changes, perforations, ulcers, malignancies. The appendix lesions not only include appendicitis but also various malignancies. Reprints and permissions...
Whereas cross-sectional imaging has become increasingly important in modern radiology practice, barium studies (particularly double-contrast barium studies) continue to have a major role in the evaluation of patients with suspected upper gastrointestinal (GI) disease....
摘要: Also disclosed are methods of treating various diseases or conditions, such as, for example, allergy, allergy-induced airway responses, and congestion (e.g., nasal congestion) using the compounds of Formula I in combination with a H. receptor antagonist....
Inflammatory Diseases of theGastrointestinal Tract and Pharmacological Treatments The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is critical for the digestion and absorption of food and the elimination of waste products. The absorption of dietary nutrients is facilitated through a physical epithelial barrier consisting...
Candidiasis is a mucocutaneous fungal disease caused by a yeast-like fungus. It is a normal inhabitant of gastro intestinal tract, nasopharynx and outer genitalia of different species of animals. Etiology:Candidiasis is caused by a yeast-like candida specie most commonlyCandida albicansthat usually af...
(UC; inflammation predominantly in the large intestine and rectum, occasionally in the terminal ileum) and Crohn’s disease (CD; inflammation in any part of the GI tract)2. Evidence for reciprocal comorbidity of MS and IBD has grown in recent years3,4,5. For example, a large meta-...
(UC). IBD, encompassing both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, is characterized by chronic and relapsing inflammation of the GI tract. The onset of both conditions is, in general, not thought to be due to a single causal organism but by a general microbial dysbiosis in the gut [64...
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as CS194 and transcribed from GI tract tissue, is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, preventing or treating, or determining ...
Recent studies have shown that gastrointestinal epithelial cells express almost all TLR subtypes characterized to date and that the expression and activation of TLRs in the GI tract are tightly and coordinately regulated. This review summarizes the current understanding of the crucial dual roles of ...
