Abstract:
Behcet's disease is a recurrent, systemic inflammatory disease of the vasculitides group. It has been most frequently diagnosed in Japan and east Mediterranean countries. Its clinical picture is characterised by multiple organ and systemic defects indicating vasculitis. In addition to triple symptom of complex (recurrent ulcerations of the oral cavity and genital organs, eye lesions in the form of episcleritis, uveitis and hypopyon), other symptoms and signs are also frequent. Aetiology of the disease has not yet been completely elucidated. Immunosuprressive agents, as a single therapy or combined with glycocorticoid drugs, are used in treatment of Behcet's disease. As for the prognosis of the Behcet's disease, chronic exacerbation of the symptoms and signs is typical, and insufficiently aggressively treated posterior uveitis usually results in blindness. The prognosis is also poor in case of central nervous system and large arterial blood vessels lesions.

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

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...
