Left handers at twice the risk of inflammatory bowel disease
Left handers seem to be at twice the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, suggests research in Gut. The research focused on two national groups of people born in 1958 and 1970 in Great Britain, who were monitored by questionnaire at the ages of 26 and 33. Handedness was determined from hand... view more... (2001-07-11)
Inflammatory bowel disease doubles risk of pregnancy complications
Inflammatory bowel disease roughly doubles the chances of pregnancy complications, reveals research published ahead of print in Gut. view more (2006-12-21)
Biochip for detection of inflammatory bowel disease
At the III International Symposium on Advanced Therapy for Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease, held in Madrid, the biotechnological company, Progenika, presented a DNA-chip the purpose of which is the optimisation of the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and Ulcerous Colitis). view more (2005-01-26)
INFLIXIMAB COULD OFFER LONG-TERM BENEFITS TO PEOPLE WITH CROHN'S DISEASE (p 1541)
Sustained use of the drug infliximab could offer substantial clinical benefit to people with Crohn's disease, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the intestines. Patients often have to be treated with steroids, which are associated with severe side-effects. Previous... view more...

Coeliac disease may predict schizophrenia
A history of coeliac disease (gluten intolerance) is a risk factor for developing schizophrenia, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Previous studies have suggested an association between these two disorders. Researchers identified 7,997 people older than 15 who were admitted to any Danish psychiatric unit for the first time between 1981 and 1998... view more... (2004-02-18)
SPECIFIC GENE MUTATION LINKED TO CROHN'S DISEASE (pp 1902, 1925)
Genetic susceptibility to Crohn's disease is likely to be the result of an insertion mutation into a specific gene on chromosome 16, conclude authors of a fast-track study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. In 1996, genetic linkage of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to chromosome 16 was established. The recently identified NOD2 gene... view more... (2001-06-13)
Scientists find gene target that may protect against Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
The discovery by a six-member Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Genetics Consortium of a genetic risk factor for IBD has been reported in Science Express, the online publication of the journal Science. view more (2006-10-27)
Scientists find major susceptibility gene for Crohn's disease
A consortium of American and Canadian researchers report in Science Express, a rapid online publication by the journal Science, the discovery of a new genetic link to Crohn's disease. view more (2006-10-27)
University of Pennsylvania Researchers Identify Gatekeeper Involved in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases
he road to many an inflammatory disease is guarded by a cytokine messenger protein called interleukin-27, according to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Chronic inflammation results when the immune system becomes over stimulated and begins attacking healthy tissue in excess. view more (2006-08-22)
