We describe an axonal motor polyneuropathy in a patient with ulcerative colitis. Symptoms of neuropathy occurred during active colitis. Electrophysiological study showed motor axonal degeneration. After treatment with steroid added to mesalazine, the patient had a gastrointestinal recovery and neurological symptoms were improved. Axonal motor polyneuropathy is an unusual extraintestinal manifes...
The association between inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer is well known. Ulcerative colitis is a risk factor for the development of colorectal cancer, and this risk increases with the activity and duration of bowel inflammation. Here we describe the case of a 52-year-old man who developed ulcerative colitis 6 years after the diagnosis and treatment of colon cancer. Although this ...
World IBD Day is recognized on May 19 to raise awareness of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the two conditions that comprise it: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, both of which cause chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. World IBD Day is sponsored by the European Federation of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Associations, which includes the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation.
Background and aims: Expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is greatly upregulated in the colonic mucosa of patients with collagenous and ulcerative colitis. As the transcription factor nuclear factor kB (NFkB) is a major inducer of iNOS gene expression, we compared activation and transcriptional activity of NFkB in colonic mucosal biopsies from these patients. Patients: Eight pat...
Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disorder of unknown etiology. Although the large intestine is the major focus of autoimmunity, resulting in chronic diarrhea, that is actually a systemic disease, with numerous extraintestinal manifestations, such as articular involvement. The frequent association of a number of autoimmune diseases in the same patient has been described. However, the coexiste...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS CXCL16 is a scavenger receptor which has been connected to phagocytosis of bacterial antigens in experimental colitis. It has also been shown to have a pivotal role in the development of experimental colitis in mice. The increased expression of CXCL16 has been demonstrated in inflamed lesions of patients with Crohn disease. Our aim was to study the expression of CXCL16 in th...
A man presented with unilateral visual blurring associated with bilateral retinal periphlebitis which was felt to be a complication of his biopsy-proven active ulcerative colitis. Retinal periphlebitis has been associated rarely with some forms of colitis but we can find no report of its occurrence in association with ulcerative colitis although other ocular inflammatory disorders are well reco...
BACKGROUND There is significant geographic variation in the reported incidence of ulcerative colitis. AIMS To update the incidence and prevalence of ulcerative colitis in Olmsted County, Minnesota, examine temporal trends, and determine overall survival. PATIENTS All Olmsted County residents diagnosed with ulcerative colitis between 1940 and 1993 (incidence cases), and all residents with ul...
BACKGROUND Patients with ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of inflammation. Interleukin 23 (IL-23) is a newly identified cytokine with increased expression in inflamed biopsies of colon mucosa in patients with Crohn's disease; however, there is inconsistent evidence on its role in ulcerative colitis. OBJECTIVE We aimed to compare serum IL-23 level in patients with ulcerative colitis an...
Because the lesions of ulcerative colitis are normally in contact with large numbers of bacteria, many investigators have explored the possibility that one particular strain or species or the faecal flora as a whole is responsible for initiating or maintaining the disease process (Weinstein, 1961). Diplostreptocci (Bargen, 1924; Paulson, 1928), shigellas (Hurst, 1921; Bargen, Copeland, and Buie...
