Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease, malabsorption, immunoproliferative enteropathy of Basenjis, IPEB, etc   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Malabsorption is a chronic intestinal problem with symptoms including diarrhea, weight loss, loss of appetite, and, if unchecked, potentially death. It is an autoimmune problem, associated with the proliferation of lymphocytes and plasmocytes in the intestine. Not all appetite or intestinal problems in Basenjis are hereditary, and many are not serious if treated promptly. www.basenji.org /healthipsid.htm   (587 words)

Crohn's Disease FAQ Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines. Once the disease begins, it tends to be a chronic, recurrent condition with periods of remission and disease exacerbation. Complications of Crohn's disease may be related to the intestinal disease or occur in areas unrelated to the intestines (extra-intestinal). www.angelfire.com /ga/crohns/faq.html   (1178 words)

Crohns disease and the mycobacterioses: a review and comparison of two disease entities. The disease that Crohn, Ginzberg, and Oppenheimer described in 1932 was a chronic low-grade inflammation of the terminal ileum (59). Although Crohn's disease was first described as a segmental disease of the small intestine, in 1960, it was recognized that the same disorder affected the colon and had been confused with ulcerative colitis (161). Intestinal tuberculosis arising secondary to pulmonary disease is readily diagnosed by radiography of the thorax, presence of abundant acid-fast bacilli, and caseation necrosis. alan.kennedy.name /crohns/research/diagnos/chiodini.htm   (19410 words)

Help wanted for study of inherited intestinal disease   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Ironically, progress in finding a cure for a serious intestinal disease that affects 400,000 people in the United States is being slowed because researchers don't have enough patients to study, according to Johns Hopkins researchers. The Hopkins scientists are studying families with Crohn's disease, an inherited intestinal disorder, to track down the genes thought to cause the various forms of the ailment. Crohn's disease, which causes painful inflammation of the intestine and severe diarrhea, may appear in one of three forms: 1) a relatively mild form localized in one area of the intestine; 2) scarring that eventually causes blockage of the intestine; and 3) a more dangerous form that sometimes perforates the intestinal wall. www.hopkinsmedicine.org /press/1997/MAY/199711.HTM   (346 words)

RESEARCHERS FIND GENETIC CLUES TO INTESTINAL DISEASE In a series of recently published studies, Johns Hopkins researchers have shown that an intestinal disease affecting 400,000 people in the United States is actually a variety of related disorders that can be inherited and cause similar symptoms in close relatives. Crohn's disease, which causes painful inflammation of the intestine and severe diarrhea, may appear in one of three forms: 1) a relatively mild form that remains localized in one area of the intestine; 2) intestinal scarring that eventually causes blockage of the intestine; and 3) a more dangerous form that sometimes perforates the intestinal wall. The Hopkins team speculated that the disease, which is probably caused by mutations in several yet unidentified genes, may be made worse when there are numerous copies of these mutations, called a triplet repeat. www.hopkinsmedicine.org /press/1996/OCTOBER/19965.HTM   (769 words)

Crohn's disease   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Because Crohn's disease severely limits the ability of the affected intestine to absorb the nutrients from food, a patient with Crohn's disease can have signs of malnutrition, depending on the amount of intestine affected and the duration of the disease. The chance of developing cancer of the intestine is greater than normal among patients with Crohn's disease, although this chance is not as high as among those patients with ulcerative colitis. The severity of the disease can vary, and a patient can experience periods of time when the disease is not active and he or she is symptom free. www.chclibrary.org /micromed/00044370.html   (2210 words)

Nature's Remedy For Intestinal Disease The cause of inflammatory bowel disease, a term that encompasses both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is a mystery, but it is presumed to result from poor regulation of the intestinal immune system -- an overreaction to normal intestinal bacteria. All of the inhabitants modulate the intestinal immune system, which is largely governed by two types of T-cells, called TH1 and TH2, found in the intestinal lining. In the absence of these parasites, the human intestinal inflammatory response is unchecked and goes into overdrive, causing disease. www.personalmd.com /news/n1025093831.shtml   (794 words)

Celiac Disease   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. In fact, sometimes celiac disease is confused with irritable bowel syndrome, iron-deficiency anemia caused by menstrual blood loss, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, intestinal infections, and chronic fatigue syndrome. People with celiac disease have to be extremely careful about what they buy for lunch at school or work, what they purchase at the grocery store, what they eat at restaurants or parties, or what they grab for a snack. digestive.niddk.nih.gov /ddiseases/pubs/celiac   (3267 words)

Lack of association between long-term illness and infectious intestinal disease in New Zealand In this paper, we consider whether the increase in notified cases of infectious intestinal disease was associated with increases in the number of admissions for GBS and reactive arthritis. Table 1 shows the number of notified cases of enteric disease, together with the number of hospital admissions coded to relevant arthritis types and GBS, for the 15-year period from 1988 to 2002. This ecological analysis therefore suggests that, in New Zealand in recent years, infectious intestinal diseases are not making a significant contribution to the burden of hospitalisation for reactive arthritis and GBS. www.nzma.org.nz /journal/117-1194/893   (1345 words)

Intestinal Health Institute These reactions can seriously damage the intestine (when it is called celiac sprue) and/or can lead to fatigue, depression, abdominal symptoms, malnutrition, infertility in women, osteoporosis, various neurologic syndromes, growth failure in children, autoimmune diseases, and a risk of cancer. The intestinal Health Institute was conceived because of the public health implications of the scientific discoveries of Kenneth Fine, M.D., a professor, intestinal researcher, and publisher of scientific journal articles for over a decade. Dr. Fine is determined to bring the benefits of this research to those who need it most: people suffering ill-health effects, particularly intestinal illnesses, as the result of gluten sensitivity, microscopic colitis, yeast sensitivity, and the other causes of intestinal disease and dysfunction. www.intestinalhealth.org   (311 words)

Complementary Approaches to Intestinal Disease The Source, Winter 2000-01   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common chronic disorder of the upper gastrointestinal tract presented to primary care physicians and gastroenterologists. Individualizing treatment for the patient with a disease, and not treating the symptoms of a disease that has inflicted a patient, should be the goal of integrative and a more holistic style of medicine. It is associated with variable degrees of abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, dysphagia, urinary urgency, indigestion, spastic colitis, mucous colitis, intestinal neurosis, and largely as a reaction to stress in a susceptible individual. www.nutrifarmacy.com /sourcewin00.html   (2489 words)
