"Complications" of the Landry-Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome
Abstract:
Prognosis for life in the Landry-Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome is dependent upon the development of respiratory and non-respiratory "complications" and their successful management. Review of the literature, a case history, and a study of 14 patients with this syndrome at the University Hospital, Edmonton, indicate that "complications" can be anticipated in virtually all areas of acute care management, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary tract, central and autonomic nervous systems, metabolic, cardiovascular, and infectious disease. The proper management of patients with the Landry-Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome demands an awareness of the totality of care required and the presence of a hospital system that provides for vital system monitoring and support, and for ready interdisciplinary consultation.

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...
