The role of molecular imaging in detecting fibrosis in Crohn's disease.

Fibrosis is a pathological process that occurs due to chronic inflammation, leading to the proliferation of fibroblasts and the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). The process of long-term fibrosis initiates with tissue hypofunction and progressively culminates in the ultimate manifestation of organ failure. Intestinal fibrosis is a significant complication of Crohn's disease (CD) that can result in persistent luminal narrowing and strictures, which are difficult to reverse.

Prevalence of Multidrug-Resistant Isolated from Dairy Cattle, Milk, Environment, and Workers' Hands.

is an opportunistic pathogen causing severe infection in animals and humans. This study aimed to determine the ecological distribution and prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolated from dairy cattle, the environment, and workers' hand swabs. Samples ( = 440) were collected from farms and households ( = 3, each).
