Study probes the economic impact of undiagnosed celiac disease
A study published in Journal of Insurance Medicine by members of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center has demonstrated an economic benefit to the diagnosis of celiac disease in a national managed-care population in the United States. view more (2009-03-30)
What is potentially pathogenic role of anti-tTG IgA in the development of celiac disease?
The recent detection of antibodies in celiac patients specific for deamidated gliadin peptides (DGP), the product of tTG binding to gliadin peptides, provides an opportunity to address the correlation between the production of anti-tTG IgA and the antibodies against DGP in celiac patients. view more (2009-02-23)
Mayo Clinic study finds celiac disease 4 times more common than in 1950s
Celiac disease, an immune system reaction to gluten in the diet, is over four times more common today than it was 50 years ago, according to findings of a Mayo Clinic study published this month in the journal Gastroenterology. view more (2009-07-01)

Are vitamin supplements effective in celiac disease patients?
Coeliac disease is a typical example of a malabsorption syndrome conferring increased risk for various deficiency states, including folate and vitamin B12. Hyperhomocysteinemia is significantly more frequent in patients with newly diagnosed coeliac disease than healthy controls. view more (2009-03-03)
Mayo Clinic discovers potential link between celiac disease and cognitive decline
Mayo Clinic researchers have uncovered a new link between celiac disease, a digestive condition triggered by consumption of gluten, and dementia or other forms of cognitive decline. view more (2006-10-10)
New therapy may mean less dietary restrictions for celiac sufferers
Scientists have discovered what may be a successful non-dietary therapy for celiac sprue, an inherited inflammatory disorder of the small intestine that impacts an estimated 1 in 200 people around the world. view more (2006-06-26)
Cocktails ameliorate celiac disease
The University Rovira i Virgili (Spain), the company Trace Biotech AG (Braunschweig), the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM, Mainz), and seven other European partners are jointly developing a biosensor for the detection of gluten in food. The goal of the ambitious project is to manufacture a disposable microsystem with integrated... view more... (2002-11-28)
UM scientists pinpoint critical molecule to celiac disease, possibly other autoimmune disorders
It was nine years ago that University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers discovered that a mysterious human protein called zonulin played a critical role in celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and diabetes. view more (2009-09-08)
Gluten Intolerance
Nearly 1% of the population is celiac, i.e. they suffer from intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and oats. The problem obliges sufferers to follow a diet based on natural foodstuffs such as legumes, meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruit and rice. Gluten, in sufferers, produces atrophy of the villi of the intestinal lining,... view more... (2004-08-05)

Patients with coeliac disease can safely eat moderate amounts of oats
People with the painful gut disorder coeliac disease are advised to stick to a gluten free diet, with no wheat or rye. Oats are usually discouraged as well, because the protein they contain is similar to gluten. But new research in Gut suggests that coeliac patients can safely eat moderate amounts of oats, and for several years. view more (2002-02-08)

Growth hormone is used to treat twice as many short boys than girls in the US and Asia
Boys are twice as likely as girls in the U.S. and Asia (mostly Japan) to receive recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) for growth hormone deficiency, illnesses that affect height, and short stature of a non-medical nature. view more (2008-04-18)
ANALYTICA 2004: Biochip Helps Avoid Allergic Reactions
Within the EU project "CD-CHEF" the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) is involved in the development of a biosensor for the detection of gluten in food. As a disposable chip the biosensor permits the standardised extraction and analysis of food samples. At Analytica, the experts from Mainz present a first functional model which... view more...

UCLA cancer researchers first to link intestinal inflammation with systemic chromosome damage
UCLA scientists have linked for the first time intestinal inflammation with systemic chromosome damage in mice, a finding that may lead to the early identification and treatment of human inflammatory disorders. view more (2009-06-01)
Nevirapine a better HIV drug? Press Release for PLoS Medicine
Nevirapine is Better than Efavirenz at Raising "Good" Cholesterol Two of the most commonly prescribed drugs for treating HIV (antiretroviral drugs)-nevirapine and efavirenz-can both raise levels of the "good type" of cholesterol (HDL cholesterol), but nevirapine raises it higher than efavirenz, according to a new study by... view more...
