Simultaneous occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease and thyroid disease.

Published: June 2001

We report a case of simultaneous occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Graves' disease. A review of reported cases of simultaneous onset of ulcerative colitis (UC) and autoimmune hyperthyroidism is presented. A discussion of the prevalence of thyroid disease in patients with UC and possible common autoimmune etiology is entertained. The concurrent presentation has implications for the diagnosis and treatment of both diseases. At the time of suspected initial presentation or exacerbation or preexisting IBD, we emphasize the need to consider both IBD and thyroid disease in the differential diagnosis for optimal patient management.

To overcome the computational barriers of analyzing large-scale single-cell sequencing data, we introduce MetaQ, a metacell algorithm that scales to arbitrarily large datasets with linear runtime and constant memory usage. Inspired by cellular development, MetaQ conceptualizes each metacell as a collective ancestor of biologically similar cells. By quantizing cells into a discrete codebook, where each entry represents a metacell capable of reconstructing the original cells it quantizes, MetaQ identifies homogeneous cell subsets for efficient and accurate metacell inference.
