MATERIALS AND METHODS Healthy pregnant and non-pregnant women and pat...

For example, a patient presenting with diarrhea or abdominal pain has a wide range of diagnostic possibilities. Endoscopy with his...
متن کاملFecal calprotectin: a biomarker for intestinal inflammation
In the clinical setting may be difficult the discrimination of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases from those with functional intestinal disorders due to the overlapping and non-specific symptoms, such as abdominal pain and altered bowel habit. Several blood markers currently help clinicians in the management of these patients, but the low specificity makes them unreliable for the detecti...

The controversy may be due to limitations of previous studies that include failing to: (i) test non-pregnant controls in the mid-late luteal phase, (ii) account for effects of pregnancy on the dilatory shear stimulus, (iii) account for physical acti...
