causes and diseases related to these symptoms. It was awkward and unpleasant to deal with the symptoms for him. He felt weak and started to lose weight. Eventually, Mr. A was diagnosed with crohn’s disease (CD) a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in 2012. IBD is a collective group of disorders that are chronic and incurable and characterised by inflammation in the intestinal tract. (Chang & Johnson, 2014, p.446). Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are autoimmune diseases, where the

History: • Current medications: none • X-ray of right hallux: no observable injury, fracture, or break • Allergies: NKDA • Smoking/alcohol consumption: N/A • Social/Work History: Student • Family History: no prior family history of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) or autoimmunities • Physical Exam: • Dorian appeared physically ill due to his visible fatigue/weakness and skin being very pale in color. Upon oral mucosa inspection, aphthous ulcers were numerously observed within the mouth. Abdominal

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic and relapsing gastrointestinal condition currently affecting a total of about 28 million people worldwide (cite). Although it is not considered a fatal condition, painful and disabling symptoms can have a profound detrimental effect on patients’ quality of life. Current understandings behind the etiology of IBD emphasize genetic predispositions to gastrointestinal immune system imbalances. However, pathophysiological understandings of IBD seem to be limited

Identifying Crohn’s Disease Crohn’s disease is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that could occur anywhere from the mouth to the rectum. However, it usually affects the intestines (Longstreth, 2010). Like many illnesses, there is no cure for Crohn’s as the exact cause of it is unknown. There are a number of tests and procedures available that aide in making the diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. Stool cultures and blood work can suggest IBD but may not directly indicate the disease.

amplifies toll-like receptor (TLR)-initiated responses, and increases the secretion of pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines in response to infections. TREM-1 is typically a membrane-bound protein, consisting of an extracellular immunoglobulin domain, a transmembrane section, and a cytoplasmic tail used to transmit

Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Ulcerative Colitis Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers to a variety of conditions in which a chronic immune response and inflammation occur throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases are triggered by an abnormal response by the body’s immune system. In a normal functioning immune system, the cells protect the body from infection. However, in those who are suffering from IBD, the immune system mistakes bacteria, food, and other materials

fundamental purpose of this paper is to apprise to the reader pivotal information on the inflammatory bowel disorder known as Crohn’s Disease (CD). It is a rare disease that is usually not wanted to be discussed by its sufferers, due to its sensitive nature of being a digestive problem. Luckily, as this paper will show, it is now an issue slowly, but surely, being explored more openly. A short introduction to the chronic disease will be divulged, pathophysiology and etiology will be discussed to prepare the

people diagnosed with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), lactose intolerance and/or a combination of the two. Theories suggest that the delayed onset of lactose intolerance, in patients who already have IBD’s, may arise as secondary lactose intolerance but only as a byproduct of the IBD. This begs the question of if the prevalence of an IBD predisposes that same person to lactose intolerance and if so, what are the drivers that allow this to happen? Inflammatory bowel diseases are categorized into

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic, chronic inflammatory process. Individuals with this condition often experience periods of symptomatic relapse and remission. (Lehmann et al., 2015) IBD encompasses two disorders: Crohn disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC). Ulcerative colitis is an ulcerating inflammation of the mucosal layer largely restricted to the colon. Crohn disease is a deep transmural inflammation that generally occurs in the terminal ileum but can occur anywhere from

The review concentrates specially in correcting macro and micronutrient deficiencies in frequently malnourished patients, focusing on reversing the physiopathological consequences
