Clinical characteristics of conduction disturbance in patients with Behcet's disease
Abstract:
To summarized clinical features of Behcet's patients with conduction disturbances and explore the underlying risk factors. A retrospective case-control study was conducted in Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University. Demographic data, clinical features, laboratory results, treatments, and fatality rate during hospital stay were analyzed. We found 23.1% of Behcet's disease had conduction disturbances and 84.0% had aortic valvular insufficiency. The male percentage of the Behcet's disease patients with conduction disturbances was significantly higher than controls (88.9 vs. 61.7%, P = 0.03). The echocardiography showed left ventricular end-diastolic diameter [64.00 (18) vs. 48.00 (15) mm, P = 0.000]; left ventricular end-contraction diameter [47.50 (11) vs. 30 (13) mm, P = 0.000]; left atrial diameter [47 (17) vs. 34 (14) mm, P = 0.001]; and left ventricular ejection fraction [60 (10) vs. 63 (13) mm, P = 0.023] were significantly different between two groups. Aortic valvular insufficiency was an independent risk factor for Behcet's disease with conduction disturbances (OR = 17.830; 95% CI 2.106, 150.981; P = 0.008). Conduction disturbance in Behcet's disease deserved attention. The diagnosis of BD and evaluation of conduction disturbance should be kept in mind when accepting patients with valvular regurgitation.

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.

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...
