This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first gene responsible for Crohn's disease has now been identified and the pathophysiological understanding of inflammatory bowel disease as well as its practical treatment have made much progress in recent years. Thus it is obviously important to consider the targets and the aims of treatment in context. The Falk Symposium No. 131 (Part II of the Gastroenterology Week Freiburg 2002), held in October 2002 in Freiburg, Germany, in its first part was dedicated to newly defined and partly alternative therapeutic targets. In addition, an attempt was made to learn from experts from other fields such as pneumology or dermatology. The second part was dedicated to the aims of treatment in daily practice. Aside from general treatment, aims such as amelioration of symptoms, pre-conditions of treatment, the view of the patients, and aspects of life quality were dealt with. This volume is the proceedings of the symposium and is important reading for both clinicians and basic scientists.

Download or read book Advanced Therapy of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Volume 2 written by Theodore M. Bayless and published by PMPH-USA. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now published in two volumes to accommodate new chapters on the many advances in understanding and treatment options, this set of volumes represents the definitive reference on inflammatory bowel disease, a spectrum of diseases that is receiving increasing attention as our understanding of the etiological factors increases and diagnostic tools are refined. Basic research accelerated at the beginning of this decade and is now yielding new, more targeted treatments than were available just a few years ago. Volume 1 is on IBD and Ulcerative Colitis, and Volume 2 is on IBD and Crohn's Disease. All areas that were covered in the 2nd edition have been expanded and updated. New sections include the rapidly expanding knowledge of genetics and the role of the intestinal flora and environmental factors in etiology and pathogenesis. Among the 168 chapters, there are 20 on biologic therapies and 30 on surgical management. The consultant/authors clearly state their approach to important issues, such as the duration of immunomodulator and of anti-TNF-a use and the options for managing isolated low-grade dysplasia. A strong focus on the individual patient is woven throughout both volumes, including the benefits and risks of potentially life-altering therapies and surgeries. Entire sections detail concerns about the well-being of each person. This book provides information for health professionals who help both pediatric and adult patients navigate through the lifelong shadow of a chronic, probably genetically determined ordeal.
Download or read book Therapeutic Advances in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Current Therapies and Future Directions written by Giulia Roda and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-10-23 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), are chronic and progressive diseases. Long-term complications are demolition surgery and colon-rectal cancer (CRC). A treat-to-target approach aims to modify the natural course of these diseases. Targets are pre-defined therapeutic goals demonstrated to prevent end-organ disfunction and disability in the long-term period. According to the Selecting Therapeutic Targets in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (STRIDE) indications, mucosal healing (MH) and clinical remission are the main targets in IBDs. Recently, the concept of remission and evidence on new targets included histological remission and transmural healing as future new targets. It remains controversial whether achieving these targets is associated with significantly better long-term disease outcomes. In this Research Topic, we aim to systematically review current evidence and future perspectives on therapeutic targets in IBD including mucosal and transmural healing.

This book was released on 2024-03-18 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic is part of a series with: Novel Targets for Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: Focus On Therapeutic Drugs and Natural Compounds Chronic inflammation is a component of many disease conditions that affect a large group of individuals worldwide, which is characterized by persistent, low-grade inflammation and is increased in the aging population. It occurs when an initiating stimulus is not removed or if the resolution process is disrupted, resulting in a state of low-grade inflammation. It is acknowledged that chronic inflammatory diseases are involved in cardiovascular diseases, endocrine disease, neurodegenerative disease, hepatic disease, pulmonary disease, gastrointestinal disease, and cancer et al., including but not limited to atherosclerosis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, fibrosis, NAFLD, COPD, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune disorders(like SLE, RA), which are major causes of death worldwide. Immunity is a physiological function of the human body, which maintains health by destroying and rejecting foreign substances including antigens, damaged cells, and tumors et al. There is a close relationship between inflammation and immunity, whether they are both protective mechanisms against invasion or injury responses. Therefore, the important role of inflammatory and immune responses should be noted, it is necessary to explore novel targets and therapeutic drugs for chronic inflammatory diseases.
Download or read book New Insights into Inflammatory Bowel Disease written by Samuel Huber and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidence of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases is steadily increasing. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is one example of a chronic inflammatory disease, which primarily affects the intestine but may also affect extraintestinal organs. The exact pathogenesis of IBD is currently unknown. However, it is clear that the pathogenesis is complex, involving barrier defects, changes in the intestinal microbiome, and chronic immune activation. This book aims to summarize basic aspects of these complex interactions between barrier function, microbiome, and the immune system. Of note, there is currently no cure for IBD. However, several therapies have evolved in the last years, which are overall able to-at least temporarily-suppress IBD. These therapies and the underlying mechanism are discussed.

Download or read book Colitis Associated Cancer written by Masato Kusunoki and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the number of patients with colitis-associated cancer (CAC) is on the increase, the purpose of this book is to review the latest topics concerning management of the disease. In recent years, the diagnostic power of endoscopy and molecular pathology has also grown tremendously, as a result of which they now have a far greater influence on the treatment of CAC. At the moment, appropriate monitoring programs for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease remain uncertain. At the same time, the latest findings on DNA methylation and microRNAs hold the promise of making revolutionary changes in these areas. Moreover, recent drug advances in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases have changed surgical indications. On the other hand, the indication of mucosectomy on colorectal cancer in ulcerative colitis and prophylactic abdominoperineal resection for Crohn’s disease remain controversial. This book provides the latest information on the remaining issues of CAC from the point of view of expert surgeons.
