modulating the function of immune cells could be a powerful tool in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. The adaptation of T lymphocytes to the intestinal environment requires constant differentiation between natural stimuli from commensal flora, natural stimuli from food, and pathogens that need...
Definitive diagnosis requires a tissue biopsy of the small and large bowel by endoscopic exam or celiotomy. Differentiating other diseases that look like IBD is critical due to the possibility of neoplasia. Treatment modalities differ based on whether the patient is a dog or cat and whether the ...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a multifactorial disease of dogs and cats characterized by chronic enteropathies that can significantly impact quality of life. These enteropathies are usually thought of as being food responsive, antibiotic responsive, steroid responsive, or refractory, regardless of...

Microscopic Colitis and Idiopathic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases The number of IELs in UC, Crohn’s colitis, and infectious colitis is usually not increased, although a focal increase and a...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play vital roles in intestinal inflammation. Therefore, eliminating ROS in the inflammatory site by antioxidant enzymes such as catalase and superoxide dismutase may effectively curb inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here, E
Inflammatory bowel diseases are conditions associated with chronic or recurring inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The two most common forms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, both of which are
