Purpose Of Review:
The number of diagnoses of celiac disease, especially "silent" forms continues to rise world-wide. This review aims to summarize critically recent research in celiac disease.
Recent Findings:
New proteomic approaches with the development of a possible powerful animal model have potentially furthered the isolation of the epitopes within gliadin, and other related proteins, that are critical for the development of celiac disease.
Summary:
The number of potential disease-triggering gliadin components remains large. Small bowel biopsies remain the gold-standard for both diagnosis and monitoring of treatment.

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...
