Is ulcerative colitis a hereditary disease? Is metabolic bone disease reversible? How does diet affect neurodegenerative disease? Is childhood disintegrative disorder fatal? Is spondylolisthesis an autoimmune disease? Are there degrees of celiac disease?
The effects of angiotensin \\{II\\} signaling pathway in the systolic response to acute stretch in the normal and ischemic myocardium Acute myocardial stretch elicits a biphasic increase in contractility: an immediate increase, known as Frank–Starling mechanism (FSM), followed by a progr... ...
Bacterial and drug-induced injuries produce an acute self-limited colitis with neutrophil-rich inflammation in the lamina propria and crypts, but relatively fewer eosinophils (Figure 1d). Biopsies from patients with Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis may show striking mucosal eosinophilia, either in ...

MG (ocular or generalized form), level of symptom intensity, level of antibodies against nicotinic AChR and the regimen of previous treatment, and the absence of concomitant autoimmune diseases (eg, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, colitis ulcerosa, connective tissue disease, or Hashimoto's thyroiditis)...
MMP9 activity is associated with the degree of histological damage in patients suffering from autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis.28, 29, 30 Most of these effects are attributed to direct tissue destruction by MMP9-mediated proteolysis. Because...
[205]. It has also reported in Behcet’s disease [206,207], ulcerative colitis [208] and graft versus host disease [209]. It can progress rarely to a staphyloma in cases of elevated intraocular pressure. The progressive thinning can lead to eventual spontaneous perforation. Medical management...
