background celiac disease (cd) is a disorder associated with body reaction to gluten. after the gluten intake, an immune reaction against the protein occurs and damages villi of small intestine in celiac patients gradually. objectives the osc, a filtering method for minimization of inter- and intra-spectrometer variations that influence on data acquisition, was applied to biofluid nmr data of c...

AIMS To determine the prevalence of celiac disease (CD) in siblings of patients with this disease in Punjab, where wheat is the staple diet. METHODS Families of 80 patients with CD diagnosed as per modified ESPGAN criteria were offered family screening. Their siblings aged 2-15 years were tested for serum IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody (anti-tTG) antibody. Those with positive or bo...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the possible association between celiac disease (CD) and/or gluten sensitivity (GS) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). METHODS Occurrences of CD were determined in a group of children and adolescents affected by ASD and, conversely, occurrences of ASD were assessed in a group of biopsy-proven celiac patients. To detect the possible existence of GS, the levels of antigli...

aim : the aim of this study was to discuss the prevalence of celiac disease (cd) in dyspeptic patients. background : although severe mucosal abnormality with villous atrophy (lesions marsh iii) is at present the gold standard for the diagnosis of cd, presentation with non-specific microenteropathy (marsh i-ii) with positive serology is also common. patients with dyspepsia, specific cd antibodie...

Celiac disease (CD) affects people in all parts of the world. In last decades celiac disease thought to be a rare childhood syndrome, but currently is celiac disease known to be a common autoimmune genetic disorder [1]. More than 2 million people in the United States have the disease, or about 1 in 133 people [2]. Among people who have a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, or child) diagnos...

BACKGROUND Individuals with active celiac disease (CD+) have an increased incidence of thyroid dysfunction, which improves on a gluten-free diet (CD-). We investigated whether tissue transglutaminase-2 IgA antibodies (anti-TGase II) present in sera of patients with celiac disease react with thyroid tissue and possibly contribute to thyroid disease. METHODS Serum from 40 active celiac patients...

Background Celiac disease (CD), considered as a common chronic and genetic diseases that caused by hypersensitivity to gluten. Failure to thrive (FTT), is one of three major clinical features of CD during childhood. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of celiac disease in children with unexplained FTT in South West of Iran. Materials and Methods  This cross‑sectional study was ...

HLA genes have been shown to be strongly associated with a large repertoir of autoimmune diseases including Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and Celiac Disease (CD). The present article will discuss what is the place of performing celiac disease associated serology in face of a rheumatologic patient, when gluten enteropaty is suspected. More specifically, should HL...

INTRODUCTION    Oxidative stress is considered to be one of the mechanisms responsible for gluten toxicity, but its role in celiac disease (CD) remains unclear. OBJECTIVES    The aim of the study was to evaluate oxidative imbalance in the pathomechanism of CD by determining the concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) and selected antioxidant parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS    The study involved 19...
