چکیده

The important co-existence of spondylarthritis (SpA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) within the same individual suggests common etiopathogenic mechanisms. This is supported by intriguing similarities between both diseases at the subclinical and molecular level. The recent advances in IBD genetics have led to the identification of common pathways involved in both IBD and SpA, including bacterial recognition and ER stress. This offers the opportunity to develop potential new therapeutic strategies for both diseases. Transgenic animals which develop both joint and gut inflammation (like the TNF(ΔARE) mice and the HLA-B27 transgenic rats) are a very useful tool to test such novel therapeutics and to get further mechanistic insight into the pathogenetic link between SpA and IBD. This review will focus on the recent scientific progress in our understanding of the link between SpA and IBD. Based on this, potential novel therapeutic strategies are discussed.

Extraintestinal Manifestations of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) mainly affects the gastrointestinal system but is associated with various chronic diseases of other organs that are jointly called extraintestinal manifestations (EIM). In some of these disorders, onset and clinical manifestations are associated with the course of the intestinal disease while in others they are independent of the intestinal disease. The former i...

Altered Markers of Brain Development in Crohn’s Disease with Extraintestinal Manifestations – A Pilot Study

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Alterations of brain morphology in Crohn's disease have been reported, but data is scarce and heterogenous and the possible impact of disease predisposition on brain development is unknown. Assuming a systemic course of the disease, brain involvement seems more probable in presence of extraintestinal manifestations, but this question has not yet been addressed. The pres...

Beyond the Bowel: Extraintestinal Manifestations of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing immune-mediated inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. IBD includes two major disease entities: Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and surveillance of these complex disorders. Computed tomographic and magnetic resonance enterographic techniques have been refined in recent years to p...

Anti-TNF alpha therapy in the management of extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease.

Inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are immune-mediated disorders of unknown etiology that primarily affect the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, other organ systems can be involved such as joint/bones, skin, eyes, hepatobiliary tract, lungs and kidney. Overall, they represent extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease and may present before,...
