Relationship between infection and celiac disease: a cross-sectional study and a brief review of the literature.

Introduction: Whether triggers celiac disease (CD) or protects against CD is currently the subject of research. In the literature, there are epidemiologic studies that have reported conflicting results regarding the association between and CD.

Aim: To compare the prevalence of CD autoantibody positivity and the levels of CD autoantibodies between -positive and -negative subjects.

Comparison of ultrasonographic and laboratory findings of acute cholecystitis between elderly and nonelderly patients.

Background/aim: The incidence of acute cholecystitis (AC) increases with age, and aging is also one of the poor prognostic factors. Aging is related to altered physiology, so diseases may show different characteristics in elderly patients. We aimed to investigate the differences between the main characteristic features of AC in elderly and nonelderly patients.

Comparing the type and severity of inflammatory bowel disease in relation to IgG4 immunohistochemical staining.

Backgroud And Study Aim: The role of immunoglobulin (Ig) G4 in the etiopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its association with endoscopic and pathological activity are not yet completely understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the possible relationship between IgG4 status and IBD.

Patients And Methods: Endoscopic colon biopsies of 55 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and of 17 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) were examined.

Steatosis Grade is the Most Important Risk Factor for Development of Endothelial Dysfunction in NAFLD.

The aim of our study was to reveal whether steatosis or fibrosis score is more important in the development of endothelial dysfunction in patients with NAFLD in a prospective manner.This cross-sectional study included 266 subjects.
