Ulcerative colitis

The condition I have written about is ischemic colitis. Ischemic colitis (IC) is inflammation of the large intestine (colon). Ischemic colitis occurs when there is reduction of blood flow to part of the large intestine (colon), because the blood vessels (arteries) have narrowed or blocked, which then decreases the amount of oxygen to the cells in the digestive system. IC is also known as mesenteric artery ischemia, mesenteric vascular disease, or colonic ischemia. The most dangerous…

Active smokers are more likely to develop Chron’s Disease, while past smokers are more likely to have Ulcerative Colitis. Smoking increases the risk of developing CD by more than twice (Lashner, 2013). There is also a possible north-south gradient; people in higher altitudes seem to develop Crohn’s Disease more often than those in those in lower latitudes (Lashner…

DISCUSSION The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of infliximab in the treatment of ulcerative colitis and to observe the presence of any side effects to infliximab. Infliximab tends to be used as a third-line therapy in patients with moderate to severe UC or as a rescue therapy [8]. However, experts have proposed that earlier use during less severe disease states (i.e., moderate UC) could benefit many patients [9] [10] [11]. Furthermore, infliximab can potentially attain the new…

microbes to become pathenogenic therefore causing dysbiosis leading to Crohn`s disease. Ulcerative colitis is another disease that is linked to dysbiosis. Ulcerative colitis is a disease in which inflammation of the colon occurs as a result of shifts in microbiota composition because of dietary reasons. [3]As well as diet induced colitis there is also antibiotic induced colitis such as pseudomembranous colitis which is a result of Clostridium difficile colonization. This occurs when normal flora…

reasons frome several reasons to cause this cancer. Also, TP53 located in salivary gland neoplasms (SGN) at 17p 13.1, and it is altered in many types of cancer. It has been shown to contain one of the initiating mutations in the majority of ulcerative colitis-associated neoplasias; however, the role of p53 in salivary gland neoplasms is controversial and needs to be clarified.…
