Introduction: Inflammatory fibroid polyps are benign submucosal polyps of the gastrointestinal tract. They are found mainly in the stomach but also in the small bowel where they can cause small bowel obstruction and intussusception. The treatment is surgical resection of the polyp. Few cases have been reported in Crohn's disease patients. We describe two cases of newly-diagnosed ileal Crohn's d...

Gastric polyps are frequently reported in patients undergoing upper endoscopic procedures. In this retrospective study, the association between hyperplastic polyps and celiac disease in Northern Sardinia was estimated.Age, gender, body mass index, and medications taken in the 2 preceding months, including proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), H2 receptor blockers (anti-H2), Helicobacter pylori status,...

Introduction: Inflammatory pseudopolyps (IPs) are a well-recognized entity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), most likely developing from long-standing chronic inflammation. Similarly, IPs have been associated with ischemic and infectious colitis, intestinal ulcers, and mucosal anastomoses. This study aimed to analyze inflammatory pseudopolyps without a history of these known as...

background: nasal polyps, a common clinical problem, are characterized by eosinophilic and mast cell inflammation.  the role of allergy and ige in pathogenesis of nasal polyps is still unclear.  ige receptors are important components of the immunological pathway in allergic and inflammatory diseases.   objective: to determine if the low affinity ige receptor (cd23) is presented on nasal polyp t...

INTRODUCTION The pathogenesis of nasal polyps is still not fully understood. AIM To analyze the topography and intensity of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS-2), and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) expressions in eosinophilic and neutrophilic polyps and in normal nasal mucosa. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included spe...

nasal polyposis is an inflammatory condition of unknown etiology that involves nasal and sinus mucous membrane. these polyps can impair a person’s quality of life by nasal obstruction, recurrent sinusitis, persistent postnasal drainage, hyposmia, anosmia, changes in sense of taste and even bony destruction. it has been shown that chronic inflammation causes a reactive hyperplasia of the intrana...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the expression and distributional patterns of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family and caspase 3 in nasal polyps and normal nasal mucosa and to evaluate the possible effects of the IAP family and caspase 3 on the development of nasal polyps. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Tertiary academic institution. PATIENTS Normal inferior turbinate mucosa was o...

BACKGROUND Although sulindac is known to cause regression of colorectal adenomatous polyps in familial adenomatous polyposis, less is known about the effect of sulindac on sporadic adenomas. The precise mechanisms of these effects also remain to be determined. AIMS Sulindac was given to patients with sporadic colorectal adenomatous polyps to evaluate its effects on them, and histological anal...
