Contrasting Autoimmune Comorbidities in Microscopic Colitis and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Life, 2023 Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) and microscopic colitis (lymphocytic and collagenous colitis) are immune-mediated diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, with distinct pathophysiology. Objective: We sought

K-ras and p53 mutations in colonic lavage fluid of patients with colorectal neoplasias [PDF]
, 2001 Background: The adenoma-carcinoma sequence has its molecular basis in several gene mutations of which K-ras and p53 are of paramount importance. The aims of this study were to evaluate whether these genetic alterations can be detected in colonic lavage ...

Fibrinolysis in colonic disease [PDF]
Gut, 1970 Fibrinolytic activity of colic venous and arterial blood has been studied at laparotomy in 18 patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's colitis and compared with that of 17 patients with colonic carcinoma or diverticulosis. Using the dilute blood clot lysis time technique, no difference was detected between the fibrinolytic activity in colic venous ...

Fibrotic and Vascular Remodelling of Colonic Wall in Patients with Active Ulcerative Colitis [PDF]
, 2016 open16noIntestinal fibrosis is a complication of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Although fibrostenosis is a rare event in ulcerative colitis [UC], there is evidence that a fibrotic rearrangement of the colon occurs in the later stages.

Association between diverticulosis and colonic neoplastic lesions in individuals with a positive faecal immunochemical test [PDF]
, 2017 Background The association between diverticulosis and colonic neoplastic lesions has been suggested, but data in literature are conflicting. This study aimed to investigate such a relationship in patients participating in a colorectal cancer screening ...
