Coeliac disease (CD) is an autoimmune condition by the exposure to gluten in patients who are genetically susceptible. The global prevalence is thought to be 1%, and incidence rate of CD in the UK is approximately 13.8 per 100,000 person-years with greater than fourfold increase in incidence over
The purpose of this screening program is to identify people at high risk for developing celiac disease, which is due to the genetic intolerance of gluten - a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. When a person with celiac disease consumes gluten-containing foods, his immune system damages the
Perhaps patient's with gluten related disorders develop Barrett's esophagus due to non-acid reflux precipitated by upper gastrointestinal motility changes that respond to a gluten free diet; whereas patients without gluten related disorders develop Barrett's due to the accepted mechanism of acid
The five types of pasta to be tested are produced by the so called "La Campofilone" Company (Ficiarà, Campofilone, Marche), a national excellence in the production of traditional egg. Every pasta is designed and realized with the scientific support of two consultants: Prof. Paolo De Cristofaro,
Public interest in nutrition is at the forefront of wellness and food culture, and the number of followers of various popular diets has grown in the last decade. These popular diets span the spectrum from vegan/vegetarian to low-carb/Paleo. Compared to typical American dietary patterns, which are
The study will involve 25 patients with suspected complicated celiac disease , which for clinical reasons are referred for an evaluation of the small intestine by means of capsule endoscopic in order to screen/identify complications. Furthermore, patients under regular follow-up for a known
Background & Rationale:
Engagement in regular physical activity (PA) is associated with a range of physical and psychological benefits among chronic disease populations. Quality of life (QoL) is significantly higher among people with cancer, depression and coronary heart disease who engage in PA on
Recent studies have shown that the ketogenic diet (high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and moderate protein; induce a shift from the primary metabolism of glucose to ketones) or Modified-Atkins diet may be effective in treating autism. Research on the Black and Tan BRachyury (BTBR) T+tf/J mouse strain,
In the last years, the difficulty to explore SB represented a problem for an early diagnosis of the intestinal tumors. Small bowel videocapsule endoscopy (VCE) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) currently represent the diagnostic gold standard for the SB mucosal lesions. The enteroscopic
1. Study Rationale: An open heart surgery (OHS) induces injury of the vessel wall and is characterized by post-operative complications. Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Both systemic inflammation and oxidative stress play a
We examined a low carbohydrate diet (40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, 30% fat) versus a low fat diet (60% carbohydrates, 20% protein, 20% fat) to determine the impact of these dietary patterns, combined with exercise, on weight loss, body shape and body composition.

Overweight to obese female subjects, who are habitually low dairy consumers and between the ages of 19-45 years will be recruited from the McMaster University student and staff population and from the surrounding Hamilton area. At study entry, all subjects will be asked to complete a standard
In many patients with cerebellar ataxia, the etiology is unknown. Sensitivity to gluten (wheat protein) has been suggested as a cause for cerebellar ataxia even in the absence of malabsorption symptoms or intestinal pathology. However, the prevalence of gluten sensitivity in patients presenting with
