[II. Etiological classification of the small bowel diseases (author's transl)]
Abstract:
A new classification of the small bowel diseases is proposed according to - the physiopathology; - the anatomo-pathology; - the etiology. In this second part, the ethiological classification is developed. One may distinguish the post-surgical lesions, congenital defects, the side-effects of drugs and the vascular lesions. Allergy and infection are especially studied. The main problems which may be solved in a next future are: the mechanism of chronic infections, the biochemical pathology and especially the normal and pathological immunology.

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...
