[Etiologic factors in development of inflammatory diseases (cheilitis) of the lips]
Abstract:
Last years the number of patients affected with lips' pathologies has been significantly increased that could be caused by different exogenic (chemical, biological, pharmacological and toxic substances etc.) and endogenic factors. Therefore, considering the above-mentioned etiologic factors, the aim of our study was identification and differentiation of different types of Cheilitis and basing on the study of their pathogenesis, to perform differential diagnostics and to systematize them. In certain cases, cheilitis appeared to be the early manifestations of diseases of different organs or organ systems on lips, laying the great responsibility on the Doctor-Stomatologists, who together with the other appropriate specialists is obliged to perform diagnostics of general (background) diseases in time; to make differential diagnostics and to plan the further and target therapy.

Cholecystitis
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

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...
