Computer-assisted diagnosis of acute Crohn's diseases
Abstract:
A study comparing the symptoms and signs of patients with acute Crohn's disease and those with acute appendicitis and intestinal obstruction is reported and a preliminary evaluation of computer-assisted diagnosis in this problem is given. There are significant differences between the three conditions. However, the accuracy of computer-assisted diagnosis in Crohn's disease is reduced by the high false positive rate of diagnosis in both appendicitis and intestinal obstruction. Computer accuracy in Crohn's disease may increase when further information is available to extend the data base.

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...
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...

Diagnostic studies
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...
