Crohns Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

Posted: Published on February 6th, 2018

Some people interchange Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC) because there are certain similarities between these two ailments. They are two different types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)1 the umbrella term for these conditions (Other lesser-known types of IBD include collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis.) Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis both occur in teenagers and young adults. They affect women and men equally, and their symptoms are very similar. What's more, their definitive causes have not yet been determined, although genes, environmental exposure, and poor immune response are both seen as contributing factors to both of these diseases. However, what sets these two apart is the area (or areas) they affect. While they both cause chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, ulcerative colitis is limited to the rectum and colon, or the large intestine. It begins in the rectum or sigmoid colon, and spreads up through the colon as the disease progresses. The inflammation and irritation mostly affect only the innermost layer of the intestine lining.2 On the other hand, Crohn's disease can manifest generally on any area throughout the GI, from the mouth to the anus. It may also appear in patches. Some areas may be affected, while … Continue reading →

Ulcerative Colitis – Drugs.com

Posted: Published on February 6th, 2018

What Is It? Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease. It usually begins in the rectum, then worsens to involve some or all of the large intestine. Ulcerative colitis is a lifelong condition. Ulcerative colitis may begin with a breakdown in the lining of the intestine. The inside of the intestine, with its digested food, contains trillions of bacteria. Normally, the lining of the intestines keeps these bacteria from causing an infection of the wall of the intestine. As long as the bacteria are contained, they remain invisible to your immune cells. They do not provoke a reaction. But when the intestine's lining fails, bacteria that usually are harmless can activate your immune system. Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system, which is supposed to attack foreign things that get inside our bodies, instead attacks a part of the body. In ulcerative colitis, the bowel bacteria provoke the immune system to attack the wall of the intestine itself, injuring the bowel. There also is evidence that unusually large or small numbers of certain types of bacteria that normally live in everyone's gut can make the gut vulnerable to ulcerative colitis. Once the bowel inflammation has started, … Continue reading →

Atopic dermatitis (eczema) Symptoms – Mayo Clinic

Posted: Published on February 5th, 2018

Overview Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a condition that makes your skin red and itchy. It's common in children but can occur at any age. Atopic dermatitis is long lasting (chronic) and tends to flare periodically. It may be accompanied by asthma or hay fever. No cure has been found for atopic dermatitis. But treatments and self-care measures can relieve itching and prevent new outbreaks. For example, it helps to avoid harsh soaps, moisturize your skin regularly, and apply medicated creams or ointments. Atopic dermatitis (eczema) signs and symptoms vary widely from person to person and include: Atopic dermatitis most often begins before age 5 and may persist into adolescence and adulthood. For some people, it flares periodically and then clears up for a time, even for several years. See a doctor if you or your child: Seek immediate medical attention for your child if the rash looks infected and he or she has a fever. Healthy skin helps retain moisture and protects you from bacteria, irritants and allergens. Eczema is related to a gene variation that affects the skin's ability to provide this protection. This allows your skin to be affected by environmental factors, irritants and allergens. In some children, … Continue reading →

It can occur at any age but its onset is most common among people between ages of 15 40. Ulcerative colitis affects male and females equally and appears to run in some families which means Ulcerative Colitis can be genetic. The exact cause of Ulcerative Colitis is not known. Factors that have all been suggested are: One or some combination of these factors thought to trigger the inflammatory process. The theory of the involvement of the immune mechanism has been widely accepted because of concept that therapeutic agents like Corticosteroids and Azothiaprine exert their effect via the immuno suppressive mechanism. The psychological factors of feelings like anger and anxiety of the degree of depression experienced by a sufferer are also important in modifying the course of the disease.

IBD is characterized by chronic inflammation in your digestive tractnot to be confused with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which is a chronic condition that affects contractions of the muscles in your large intestine.

Courtesy of Alysia Padilla-Vaccaro hide caption Evangelina Padilla-Vaccaro, now cured of a serious genetic illness thanks to a successful stem cell treatment playing recently in a public park. The bubble around her is just for fun. The year was 2004, and according to certain TV ads in California, great medical breakthroughs might be just around the corner. In these political ads, celebrities Michael J. Fox and Christopher Reeve, both facing serious, chronic conditions, touted the promise of stem cell research, which they believed could lead to a plethora of cures for life-threatening diseases. The ads ran in support of Proposition 71, a $3 billion California bond measure that would create the first state-funded stem cell agency in the nation. Three years earlier, the George W. Bush administration had issued rules to limit federal funding of the use of stem cells obtained from human embryos. California voters easily passed Proposition 71 59 percent to 41 and the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, or CIRM, was born. Its mission: to fund and … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on January 28th, 2018

What is Eczema? Eczema (Atopic dermatitis, or AD for short) is a common chronic skin disease. It is also called atopic eczema. Atopic is a term used to describe allergic conditions such as asthma and hay fever. Both dermatitis and eczema mean inflammation of the skin.

If you ever had atopic dermatitis, you may have trouble with one or more of these: Eczema can have a significant impact on the quality of life of individuals and their families. The itching can interfere with daily activities and make it hard to sleep. Scratching the rash can irritate the skin, making it itch even more, which, in turn, increases the tendency to scratch.
