Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic, recurring inflammation of the digestive tract. Current therapeutic approaches are limited and include biologics and steroids such as anti-TNF伪 monoclonal antibodies and corticosteroids, respectively. Significant adverse drug effects can occur for...
(IBD). A group of disorders that involve chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease An inflammatory disease that causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract, which often spreads deep into affected tissues. Ulcerative ...
Objectives Crohn disease (CD) is a chronic inflammation in the digestive tract that affects millions of Americans. Bowel vascularity has important diagnostic information because inflammation is associated with blood flow changes. We recently developed an ultrasensitive ultrasound microvessel imaging (UMI) ...

What structure separates the colon from the small intestine? What organ system does the intestines belong to? What organ is at the end of the digestive tract? What causes a hole in the intestines? What body cavity is the large intestine in?
The disease affect different parts of the intestine: Ulcerative Colitis – a disease affecting the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum3 Crohn´s Disease – a disease affecting different areas of the digestive tract and all layers of the gut wall4 Our Fecal Calprotectin ...
The digestive tract lymphatics transport approximately two-thirds of all lymph produced in the body and have a key role in mucosal immunity through their contribution to antigen transport and immune cell trafficking. Mesenteric lymphatic pumping function integrity is critical for maintaining homeostasis ...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a term used to describe disorders that involve chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, which include both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), another chronic inflammatory disease that causes inflammation of the full thickness of the bowel ...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprised of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. Multiple factors, including genetic predisposition, environment, gut microbiota, altered barrier function of the intestinal lining, and dysregulated immune response, ar...
Thus, it might eventually be possi- ble to use ES to evoke local anti-inflammatory mechanisms in certain parts of the body — such as an arthritic knee or specific sections of the digestive tract in individuals with chronic inflammatory bowel disorders — without sup- pressing the whole ...
