| ARTICLES RELATED TO Intestinal Diseases | | | |  Intestinal Diseases: Encyclopedia II - Coeliac disease - Signs and symptomsDamage to the villi reduces the ability of the intestines to absorb nutrients, and it is believed that the resulting nutritional deficiencies likely cause the wide spectrum of symptoms associated with the disorder. Coeliac disease may lead to digestive problems, such as indigestion, heartburn and irritable bowel syndrome, unexplained weight loss or other signs of nutritional deficiency due to malabsorption, and a wide range of other problems in different bodily systems, including t ...

| | | | | Intestinal Diseases: Encyclopedia II - Colon anatomy - Role in digestion The large intestine comes after the small intestine in the digestive tract and measures approximately 1.5 meters in length. Although there are differences in the large intestine between different organisms, the large intestine is mainly responsible for storing waste, reclaiming water, maintaining the water balance, and absorbing some vitamins, such as vitamin K.
By the time the chyme has reached this tube, almost all nutrients and 90% of the water have been absorbed by the body. At this point some electrolytes like sodium, magnesium, ...

| | | | | Intestinal Diseases: Encyclopedia II - Chagas disease - History The disease was named after the Brazilian physician and infectologist Carlos Chagas, who first described it in 1909, but the disease was not seen as a major public health problem in humans until the 1960s. He discovered that the intestines of Triatomidae harbored a flagellate protozoan, a new species of the Trypanosoma genus, and was able to prove experimentally that it could be transmitted to marmoset monk ...

| | | | | Intestinal Diseases: Encyclopedia II - Menkes disease - Genetics Mutations in the ATP7A gene cause Menkes syndrome. As the result of a mutation in the ATP7A gene, copper is poorly distributed to cells in the body. Copper accumulates in some tissues, such as the small intestine and kidneys, while the brain and other tissues have unusually low levels. The decreased supply of copper can reduce the activity of numerous copper-containing enzymes that are necessary for the structure and function of bone, skin, ...

| | | | | Intestinal Diseases: Encyclopedia II - Wilson's disease - Treatment The disease is treated with lifelong use of chelating agents such as D-penicillamine or trientine hydrochloride, drugs that help remove copper from tissue. Patients will also need to take vitamin B6 and follow a low-copper diet, which means avoiding mushrooms, nuts, chocolate, dried fruit, liver, and shellfish. Taking extra zinc may be helpful in blocking the intestines' absorption of copper.
Liver transplantation is effective in patients with fulminant Wilson's disease that does not respond to the usual treatment. Because the primary defect resides within the liver, transplantation is ...

| | | | | Intestinal Diseases: Encyclopedia II - Ulcerative colitis - Features
Ulcerative colitis - Comparison to Crohn's disease.
Ulcerative colitis is similar to Crohn's disease, but there are characteristic differences. Ulcerative colitis affects only the colon and cannot "migrate" to the small intestine, while Crohn's disease can affect the entire digestive tract. Complete colon removal can thus be considered a "cure" for ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is usually confined to the mucosal and submucosal lining of the colon, and affects whole areas of intestine. Crohn's disease, on ...

| | | | | Intestinal Diseases: Encyclopedia II - Coeliac disease - Treatment The only treatment is a life-long gluten-free diet. No medications are required, and none have proven useful; trials with immunosuppressive medicines (to control the bowel inflammation) have been largely unsuccessful. Therefore, coeliacs do not need any medication; the disease can be controlled by strict adherence to a gluten-free diet, which allows the intestines to heal and resolves all symptoms in the vast majority of cases and, depending on how soon the diet is begun, can also eliminate the heightene ...

| | | | | Intestinal Diseases: Encyclopedia II - Baylisascaris - Disease progression After an animal swallows the eggs, the microscopic larvae hatch in the intestine and invade the intestinal wall. If they are in their main host they develop for several weeks, then enter the intestinal lumen, mature, mate, and proceed to produce eggs, which are carried out in the fecal stream. If the larvae are in a paratenic host (one not essential for completing the worm's life cycle), they break into the bloodstream and enter various organs, particularly the central nervous system. A great deal of damage occurs wherever the larva tries to ...

| | | | | Intestinal Diseases: Encyclopedia II - Gastroesophageal reflux disease - Pathophysiology Having GERD indicates incompetence of the lower esophageal sphincter. Increased acidity or production of gastric acid can contribute to the problem, as can obesity, tight-fitting clothes and pregnancy. It is also thought that yeast infections of the digestive tract can cause GERD-like symptoms.
Another paradoxical cause of GERD-like symptoms is not enough stomach acid (hypochlorhydria). The valve that empties the stomach into the intestines is triggered by acidity. If there is not enough acid, this valve does not open and the stomach contents is churned up into the esophagus. ...

| | | | | Intestinal Diseases: Encyclopedia II - Behçet's disease - Pathology The symptoms of Behçet's disease are believed to be caused by an over-active immune system which, without any apparent infections, produces recurrent outbreaks of inflammation in small blood vessels. Common symptoms include mouth ulcers, sore genitals and eye inflammation, and arthritis in older patients, mostly painful but not life-threatening conditions. However, some patients may be unable to work because of the pain and the impaired vision and mobility. In some severe cases, uncontrolled inflammation may lead to blindness, intestinal complications, s ...

| | | | | Intestinal Diseases: Encyclopedia II - Diseases of the honeybee - Nosema Nosema apis is a spore-forming parasite that invades the intestinal tracts of adult bees and causes nosema disease. Nosema is also associated with Black queen-cell virus. Nosema is normally only a problem when the bees can not leave the hive to eliminate waste (for example, during an extended cold spell in winter or when the hives are enclosed in a wintering barn). When the bees are unable to void (cleansing flights), they can develop dysentery.
Nosema is treated by increasing the ventilation through the hive. ...

| | | | | Intestinal Diseases: 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 ...

Presence of inflammatory cell in the biopsy of small intestine tissue.
Low levels of vitamins A, B12, E, D, and K, as well as albumin, calcium, and folate, revealed by a blood te ...
