Histological evaluation in ulcerative colitis

This review summarizes diagnostic problems, challenges and advances in ulcerative colitis (UC). It emphasizes that, although histopathological examination plays a major role in the diagnosis and management of UC, it should always be interpreted in the context of clinical, endoscopic, and radiological findings. Accurate diagnosis requires knowledge of the classic morphological features of UC, as...

Small-intestinal and Gastric Abnormalities in Ulcerative Colitis.

RetLinal Phototherapy-Ingram et al. MEDICAL JOURNAL 827 damage to the tissues. The application of this form of therapy by an ophthalmoscope produces new technical problems, but when these are adequately solved it could lead to a wider use of phototherapy. The history of laser development is reviewed very briefly. The laser ophthalmoscope designed in Newcastle upon Tyne is described. The present...

Intestinal bacteria and ulcerative colitis.

Convincing evidence from both animal models and the study of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) implicates the intestinal microflora in the initiation and maintenance of the inflammatory processes in this condition. Despite this, no specific pathogen has been identified as causal and the disease is widely believed to occur as the result of a genetically determined, but abnormal immune respon...

Histological and Histochemical Study of Large and Small Intestine of Hydrophis cyanocinctus in Minab Beaches
