In this study, the inhibiting effects of low-molecular weight polyols on the deterioration of gluten network and noodle texture were systematically investigated, based on dough rheological properties, and the macroscopic, structural and water status changes of gluten protein during storage of fresh
A patient with a commun variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is hospitalized for chronic symptoms of malabsorption (weigh loss and diarrhea). The duodenal histology show a total villous atrophy. Investigations are negative and a gluten free diet is given. Symptoms of malabsorption disappear and
'Flat and flexible truths are beat out by every hammer' (Sir Thomas Browne, writer and physician) The prevalence of gluten-sensitive enteropathy (GSE) or coeliac disease is likely to be as high as 1:200 to 1:400 in the developed world. Current medical practice leaves a significant proportion of
As infection influences the pathogenesis and presentation of celiac disease, we investigated the expression of natural antibiotics in this condition. Twenty-three adults were prospectively studied: 10 controls and 13 subjects with untreated celiac disease. Distal duodenal biopsies were taken at
BACKGROUND
Previous work using proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) of the cerebellum in the ataxias suggested that (1)H-MRS abnormalities and atrophy do not necessarily occur concurrently.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the spectroscopic features of different types of ataxias.
METHODS
Using a clinical MR
A 48 year old female patient with intestinal malabsorption and subtotal to total jejunal villous atrophy also had granulomatous inflammation characterised by numerous epitheloid and giant cell granulomas in the stomach, the jejunum, and the liver, On a gluten-free diet a complete remission was
The observation of a 21 year-old man with primary common variable hypogammaglobulinemia and total villous atrophy is reported. Gluten withdrawal induced considerable improvement in malabsorption and mucosal damage. However, protein-losing enteropathy, nodular lymphoid hyperplasia and immunoglobulin
Serial biopsies were removed from the jejunal mucosa of preruminant calves given single or multiple feeds containing heated soyabean flour or wheat gluten. Morphometric investigation using a microdissection technique revealed partial villus atrophy and crypt elongation. The first exposure to
OBJECTIVE
Mucosal healing is important in celiac disease (CD) for the prevention of complications. However, obtaining duodenal biopsies is invasive, and there is currently no reliable surrogate marker for histological remission in clinical practice. We aimed to assess the role of a point-of-care
Three patients out of 16 with chronic active hepatitis exhibited villous atrophy in biopsy specimens from the upper jejunum. These patients were put on a gluten-free diet for one year, and the intestinal changes normalized in two of the patients, but did not heal in the third patient. The levels of
The pattern of lectin histochemistry in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded normal jejunal and subtotal villous atrophy specimens from patients with gluten sensitive enteropathy were compared. There was no significant difference in the binding pattern of five lectins (Arachis hypogaea, Canavalia
OBJECTIVE
The current internationally accepted gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease is a small-bowel biopsy demonstrating villous atrophy. However, it has been suggested that the diagnosis might not be considered as confirmed if the villous atrophy is patchy. Our aim was to assess whether
Duodenal injury persists in some coeliac disease patients despite gluten-free diet, and is associated with adverse outcomes.
To determine the prevalence and clinical risk factors for persistent villus atrophy among symptomatic coeliac disease patients.
A nested cross-sectional analysis was performed
Tests to measure serum endomysial antibodies (EMA) and antibodies to tissue transglutaminase (tTG) were developed to screen for celiac disease in patients consuming gluten. However, they are commonly used to monitor patients on a gluten-free diet (GFD). We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the
This study demonstrates gluten-sensitive recurrent oral ulceration (ROU) in the absence of gastrointestinal abnormalities which is associated with a humoral response to wheat protein. Ten patients with severe ROU were investigated; all had normal small intestinal biopsies. Four patients had raised
