Abstract

To compare the methods used for diagnosis and the clinical features of non-specific inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the north and south of Europe. A prospective study over 2 years in 1991-3 at eight centres in the north and 12 in the south of Europe using the same criteria for disease definition and same protocol for recording data. Specialist gastroenterological centres with good diagnostic facilities at which every effort was made to ascertain all new cases of IBD seen in other departments and primary care in a defined geographical area of known population. A total of 2201 patients newly diagnosed as suffering from IBD, 1397 with ulcerative colitis (UC), 706 with Crohn's disease (CD) and 116 with indeterminate colitis (IND). Diagnostic methods used were similar in north and south, a biopsy or resection specimen was available for examination in 94 and 95%, of cases of UC and 92 and 87% of CD in north and south, respectively. The type, clinical presentation, site and extent of disease were similar in north and south. Treatment followed a common pattern and mortality from IBD was low in the first year after diagnosis. In both areas, age of onset of UC tended to be later than CD. The standard of diagnosis and clinical feature...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
