BACKGROUND AND AIMS Persistent intestinal damage is associated with higher complication rates in celiac disease. We aimed to assess the potential modifiers of mucosal recovery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We screened databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Trials, and Web of Science) for papers on celiac disease. Papers discussing (1) celiac patients (2) follow-up biopsy and (3) mucosal recovery after ...

It is known that the NFκB route is constitutively upregulated in celiac disease (CD), an immune-mediated disorder of the gut caused by intolerance to ingested gluten. Our aim was to scrutinize the expression patterns of several of the most biologically relevant components of the NFκB route in intestinal biopsies from active and treated patients and after in vitro gliadin challenge, and to asses...

introdouction: cone beam computed tomography (cbct) is a relatively new three-dimensional imaging technology, which has been widely used in dental and maxillofacial imaging. materials and methods: cbct scans of 506 maxillary sinuses of 253 individuals (39.9% male and 60.1% female) were evaluated retrospectively for assessing the relationship between sinus mucosal thickening (mt) and dental and ...

background there is a dearth of epidemiologic studies that provide important information to understand the incidence, prevalence and severity of oral lesions in patients with tuberculosis (tb). objectives this study aimed to determine the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions and adverse habits among hospitalized tb patients. patients and methods the study was conducted on all the tb patients (n =...

Gastrointestinal complications frequently occur in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Of these, ulceration and bleeding related to stress-related mucosal disease (SRMD) can lengthen hospitalization and increase mortality. The purpose of this review is to discuss the many risk factors and underlying illnesses that have a role in the pathophysiology of SRMD and evaluate the evidence pe...

background : helicobacter pylori ( h. pylori ) infection is known as a major etiologic factor for a variety of gastroduodenal diseases. in iran, with a high rate of h. pylori infection close to 90%, numerous studies have revealed many aspects of interaction between the bacterium, mucosal surface and induction of disease outcome. the organism is genetically diverse and several virulence factors ...

coccidiosis and gizzard erosion are rare conditions in cage bird. a male zebra finch was presented with a history of watery diarrhea, anorexia, ruffled feathers, weight loss, and lethargy and died finally. gross necropsy revealed small areas of erosions and hemorrhages on the gizzard wall. the intestine was oedematous. the spleen appeared pale and small. the testes were asymmetric.histologicall...

Mucosal melanoma is a rare disease, which differs from its cutaneous counterpart genetically and for its clinical behaviour. Moreover this is a heterogeneous disease based on the tissue of origin. As CT7 and CT10 are highly expressed in cutaneous melanoma and are immunogenic in this disease, we analysed their expression throughout the different subtypes of mucosal melanoma and tumor development...
