| | | | | Crohn's disease: Encyclopedia II - Folic acid - Folate deficiency Signs of folic acid deficiency are often subtle. Diarrhea, loss of appetite, and weight loss can occur. Additional signs are weakness, sore tongue, headaches, heart palpitations, irritability, and behavioral disorders.[7] Women with folate deficiency who become pregnant are more likely to give birth to low birth weight and premature infants, and infants with neural tube defects. In adults, anemia is a sign of advanced folate deficiency. In infants and ...

| | | | | Crohn's disease: Encyclopedia II - Barium enema - Why the test is performed The test is used to detect colon cancer. The barium enema may also be used to diagnose and evaluate the extent of inflammatory bowel diseases.
Barium enema - Normal Values.
Barium should fill the colon uniformly and show normal bowel contour, patency (should be freely open), and position.
Barium enema - What abnormal results mean.
Abnormal findings may include cancer, diverticulitis (small pouches formed on the colon wall that can become inflamed), polyps (a tumor, usual ...

| | | | | Crohn's disease: Encyclopedia II - Gut flora - Localization The upper stomach and small intestine do not have many bacteria (Guarner and Malagelada, 2003b; University of Glasgow, 2005). The colon has the greatest numbers of bacteria and the most different species, and the activity of these bacteria make the colon the most metabolically active organ in the body (Gibson, 2004). Most of the bacteria in the small intestine are Gram-positive, while those in the colon are mostly Gram-negative (Riordan et al., 2001). The first part of the colon is mostly responsible for fermenting carbohydrates (Beaugerie a ...

| | | | | Crohn's disease: Encyclopedia II - Gut flora - Types Not all the species in the gut have been identified (Beaugerie and Petit, 2004; Guarner and Malagelada, 2003b; Sears, 2005) because some cannot be cultured (Beaugerie and Petit, 2004; Sears, 2005; Shanahan, 2002) and DNA isolation and identification is difficult (Nordgård et al., 2005). Populations of species vary widely among different individuals but stay fairly constant within an individual over ti ...

| | | | | | Crohn's disease: Encyclopedia II - Caesarean section - Indications Obstetricians or other care-providers recommend caesarean section when vaginal delivery might pose a risk to the mother or baby. Possible reasons for Caesarean delivery include:
prolonged labour (or failure to progress) (dystocia)
apparent fetal distress
apparent maternal distress or complications such as pre-eclampsia, eclampsia
multiple births
abnormal presentation, i.e.breech presentation
failed induction of labour
failed instrumental delivery
the baby is too larg ...

| | | | | Crohn's disease: Encyclopedia II - Inflammatory bowel disease - Prognosis While IBD can limit quality of life due to pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and other socially unacceptable symptoms, it is rarely fatal on its own. Fatalities due to complications such as toxic megacolon, bowel perforation and surgical complications are also rare.
While patients of IBD do have an increased risk of colorectal cancer this is usually caught much earlier than the general population in routine surveillance of the colon by colonoscopy, ...

| | | | | | Crohn's disease: Encyclopedia II - Coeliac disease - Epidemiology Susceptibility to coeliac disease is genetic and many cases are diagnosed in childhood, but the disease can be triggered by environmental factors at any point in life. With 1 in 250 people diagnosed, Italy has one of the highest rates of coeliac disease. It is also estimated that 1 in 250 Americans have the disease, with Italian-Americans and Irish-Americans having the highest incidence. People of African, Japanese, and Chines ...

Serious side effects include mouth sores, fever, sore throat, easy bruising or bleeding, pinpoint red spots on the skin, yellowing of eyes or skin, dark urine, painful or difficult urination. Unlikely but serious side effects include: black or tarry stools (melena), bloody stools, and bloody urine.
Symptoms of allergic reaction to Mercaptopurine include rash, i ...

| | | | | | | Crohn's disease: Encyclopedia II - Growth hormone - Other GH uses and treatment indications Many other conditions besides GH deficiency cause poor growth, but growth benefits (height gains) are often poorer than when GH deficiency is treated. Examples of other causes of shortness often treated with growth hormone are Turner syndrome, chronic renal failure, Prader-Willi syndrome, intrauterine growth retardation, and severe idiopathic short stature. Higher ("pharmacologic") doses are required to produce significant acceleration of growth in these conditions, producing blood levels well above physiologic. Despite the higher doses, side effects during tre ...

| | | | | | Crohn's disease: Encyclopedia II - Coeliac disease - Causes The cause is presently presumed to be:
Partly a genetic susceptibility to the illness (identical twins do not have 100% concordance however).
Together with an environmental agent, probably a virus or other infection, but stress and pregnancy have also been invoked as possible triggers.
It is associated with other autoimmune diseases; these diseases are also probably a combination of susceptibility and infection.
Possible exposure to gluten as a young baby before the gut barrier has developed fully (although this is ...

| | | | | Crohn's disease: Encyclopedia II - Race in biomedicine - Genetic labelling An alternative view argues that the underlying genetic-cluster categories can be used in lieu of racial labels for biomedical purposes. Proponents of this view argue that by directly examining the genotype, the problem of using racial labels can be avoided. Moreover, they argue that genotyping is more reliable than using self-identified race as a proxy for ancestry. Some fear that the use of racial labels in biomedical research runs the ...
