The study included 132 women (average age 38.5 +/- 1.17 years) with HC observed in the CSRIG from 2000 to 2010. Comparison group consisted of 105 women (average age 38.7 +/- 1.6 years) mainly with functional bowel disorders (irritable bowel syndrome, functional constipation, functional meteorism, inert colon). Take into account the information relating to obstetric and gynecological history, Physical and laboratory signs of malabsorption syndrome (MS), studies of antibodies to alpha-gliadin immunoglobulin (IG), Class A (AHA) and tissue transglutaminase (AtTG). Reproductive disorders in women with celiac disease are significantly more frequently than in women with functional bowel disease. One of the causes of reproductive disorders in patients with HC might be malabsorption disorders of essential nutrients in the small intestine. The presence of reproductive disorders should be considered as a risk factor for celiac disease, so these women should be screened for celiac disease.

Background: YouTube is an increasingly used platform for medical information. However, the reliability and validity of health-related information on celiac disease (CD) on YouTube has not been determined.
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the reliability and validity of CD-related YouTube videos.

Purpose: To report a case of bilateral anterior uveitis, pigmentary retinopathy, and pars plana exudates in a patient with Celiac disease with complete resolution of inflammation following gluten-free diet.
Methods: Retrospective case report.
Results: A 19-year-old Asian Indian girl presented with bilateral non-granulomatous anterior uveitis for the past 2 months.

Background: An increasing body of evidence has suggested that the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is not confined to the neurons but instead that neuroinflammation plays a significant role in the disease, with an interplay between the brain and the immune system. So far, their shared genetic components have not been systematically studied.
Method: We investigated the shared genetic architecture between AD and a plethora of immune-mediated diseases using the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics data: allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, hypothyroidism, primary sclerosing cholangitis, RA, systemic lupus erythematosus, ulcerative colitis, and vitiligo.

Objectives: To determine if after 2 years of consuming a gluten-free diet post celiac disease diagnosis, pediatric patients who were overweight or obese at diagnosis are less likely to normalize celiac disease serologies as compared with those who were normal weight or underweight at diagnosis. Secondary aims include characterizing how initial symptoms at presentation predict body mass index (BMI) change and serology improvement over the first 2 years of being on a gluten-free diet following diagnosis of celiac disease.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed that included all biopsy-proven celiac disease patients followed at Stony Brook Children's Hospital's Celiac Disease Center diagnosed between the years 2007-2022.

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the small bowel mucosa that develops because of the altered immune response to gluten, which leads to intestinal epithelium damage and villous atrophy. However, studies on regeneration of the damaged small bowel mucosa and density of intestinal stem cells (ISC) in CD persons are still scarce. We aimed to evaluate the number of small bowel mucosa cells positive for LGR5, CD138/Syndecan-1, CD71 and CXCR3 in CD and in controls with normal bowel mucosa; to find relationship between these markers and degree of small intestinal atrophy and to compare these results with our previous data about the number of CD103 + , IDO + DCs, FOXP3 + Tregs, enterovirus (EV) density and serum zonulin level.
