Abstract:
Celiac disease remains a challenge to the clinician and scientist. It is clearly more prevalent than was previously suspected. Much interest is seen in identifying the genetic factors, which predispose to disease and the environmental agents that can trigger it. Genome-wide searches have identified a number of chromosomal susceptibility loci. Specific gliadin epitopes are being analyzed. New diagnostic options include the tissue transglutaminase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Neurologic disease and bone disease are intriguing complications of celiac disease and are gradually being defined.

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
