Living well with ulcerative colitis every day
Ulcerative colitis is more than a digestive condition — it’s a daily challenge of balancing symptoms, treatment, and mental well-being. New research is uncovering how genetics, gut bacteria, and ...
Upon presentation to the emergency department (ED), the monocyte distribution width (MDW) derived from routine full blood examinations could effectively differentiate acute severe ulcerative colitis ...
BERLIN — An individual’s profile of antibody responses to a range of herpes viruses and encapsulated bacteria such as Streptococcus could predict the onset of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) up to 10 ...
Diagram showing the mechanism discovered in the study. Inflammation of the intestines in ulcerative colitis results from an excessive helper Th2 immune response. Smoking leads to aromatic compounds ...
Move over, colonoscopies — researchers report in ACS Sensors that they’ve developed a sensor made of tiny microspheres packed with blood-sensing bacteria that detect markers of gastrointestinal ...
Researchers have identified a gut-genetic interaction that could trigger an overactive immune response in the colon — offering one possible explanation for the pain and bleeding of ulcerative colitis, ...
