Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of ocular lesions in patients with moderate ulcerative colitis.
- 112 patients aged 18-75 years with confirmed moderate ulcerative colitis were examined, revealing that 21 (18.75%) had ocular issues like episcleritis, keratopathy, uveitis, cataract, and scleritis.
- The authors suggest that routine ophthalmologic exams could be beneficial for monitoring ocular symptoms in these patients, as they are often nonspecific.
Objective: Aim: To describe and evaluate abnormalities of the brain in post-COVID patients with neurologic symptoms and cognitive deficits using MRI imaging of the brain.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We included 21 patients with a previous positive PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2 and one or more of the following symptoms: memory and cognitive decline, dizziness, anxiety, depression, chronic headaches. All patients had MRI imaging done at onset of symptoms, but after at least 1 year after positive testing for COVID-19 based on the patient's previous medical history.
Objective: The aim: Determine the most common non-communicable diseases which are associated with an increased rate of moderate and severe COVID-19 infection. Identify the best tools for diagnosing COVID-19 and predicting the deterioration of the disease.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Publications were processed and analyzed according to the keywords of the topic of work "COVID-19", "non-communicable disease", "obesity", "hypertension", "Comorbidities", "frailty", "diabetes", "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease", "cardio-vascular diseases", "liver diseases", "diagnostic tools", "outcomes" in the databases of PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science.
Objective: The aim: To analyze the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and changes in the gut microbiota.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The publications of domestic and foreign editions in the databases of the United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Journal, PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science were processed and analyzed.
Conclusion: Conclusions: In recent years, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was placed among the important diseases in gastroenterology.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare the effects of three treatments—tofacitinib, adalimumab, and budesonide—on patients with moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) accompanied by joint issues.
- 100 moderately severe UC patients were divided into three groups: one received tofacitinib, another adalimumab, and the last budesonide, with respective dosages outlined.
- Results showed that both tofacitinib and adalimumab significantly reduced leukocyte and CRP levels and increased hemoglobin levels more effectively than budesonide in treating moderate UC with joint problems.
Objective: The aim: To investigate the transcolonoscopic pH-metry and calprotectin in patients with ulcerative colitis.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: the research included 110 patients both male and female between the ages of 18 to 75 years old, who were treated for UC of medium and severe activity, in active phase. All patients were divided into 3 groups.
