Evaluation of oxidative stress in an experimental model of Crohn's disease treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Introduction: Treatments of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are able to control symptoms in most cases, however, a fraction of patients do not improve or have a loss of response to treatments, making it important to explore new therapeutic strategies. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) may represent one of them. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of HBO therapy in an experimental model of IBD.

Pulmonary function and medication effect in mild-stage subjects with Parkinson's disease.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) causes a series of movement disorders, many of them starting in the early stage.

Objective: To analyze the pulmonary function of mild-stage subjects with PD and to investigate the effects of levodopa on it.

Methods: We included 21 patients with idiopathic PD and 20 healthy control subjects.

Nutritional Global Status and Its Impact in Crohn's Disease.

Background: Malnutrition among inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) subjects is well documented in literature and may emerge from factors including inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption and disease activity. The aim of this study was to complete a comprehensive nutrition assessment and explore what possibilities may help bring a better quality of life for IBD subjects.

Methods: Nutritional status based on biochemical tests, body composition and body mass index (BMI).

Eye disorders in patients with celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease: A study using clinical data warehouse.

Background And Aim: To analyze the prevalence of ophthalmic manifestations in patients with celiac disease, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in Munich/Germany.

Methods: A total of 272,873 patients of Ludwig Maximilians Universitat Ophthalmological Hospital with eye disease were evaluated between 2003 and 2019. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10) of celiac disease Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and all medical records which had the diagnosis of these diseases were analyzed.

Pancreatic endosonographic findings and clinical correlation in Crohn's disease.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the incidence of pancreatic alterations in Crohn's disease using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and to correlate the number of alterations with current clinical data.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease (n=51) were examined using EUS, and 11 variables were analyzed. A control group consisted of patients with no history of pancreatic disease or Crohn's disease.
