Searching for Celiac Disease Screening-detected celiac disease in an HLA-genotyped birth cohort
Objectives: Celiac disease is a common immune mediated enteropathy strongly associated with HLA-DQB1*02 (DQ2), *0302 (DQ8), or both and the presence of tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies (tTGA). Prevalence studies have revealed that most affected individuals go undetected because of subclinical …

Screening Detected Celiac Disease in Children
Background: The prevalence of celiac disease (CD) is estimated to be around 1%, but most CD cases are undiagnosed. Sweden experienced an epidemic of clinically detected celiac disease in children younger than 2 years of age, partly due to changes in infant feeding practices, were the amount of …

Clinical and genetical aspects of Celiac Disease
Celiac disease (CD), or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood but is diagnosed in all ages. CD is a genetically driven immunological intolerance to dietary gluten. Th e treatment is a gluten-free diet. Th e diagnostic criteria are the ESPGHAN …

THE ROLE OF MOLECULAR SIGNATURES IN COMPLICATED CELIAC DISEASE
Introduction: Refractory celiac disease (RCD) is defined as the persistence of symptoms and villous atrophy despite adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD). Based on their molecular signatures, aberrant intraepithelial lymphocytes (aIELs) and monoclonal TCRγ rearrangement, RCD patients are …

Clinical Aspects of Screening Detected Celiac Disease among 12-year-olds
… Sweden experienced an epidemic (1984-96) of celiac disease in children, partly attributed to changes in infant feed- ing. Our aim was to compare the total prevalence of celiac disease in two birth cohorts of 12-year-olds and relate the findings to each cohort’s ascertained infant feeding. …

ISOLATION AND CULTURE OF FIBROBLASTS FROM ENDOSCOPIC DUODENAL BIOPSIES OF CELIAC PATIENTS
… diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract as celiac disease. Beside its diagnostic and therapeutic potential, it can be useful as source of primary intestinal fibroblasts through the collection of bioptic specimens. Aim of the study is to isolate and culture primary fibroblasts from endoscopic …

Celiac Disease Diagnosis Among Primary Care Nurse Practitioners: A Quality Improvement Project
INTRODUCTION: Celiac disease (CD), an inflammatory condition of the small bowel, is now recognized as the most common of the autoimmune disorders (Kenrick & Day, 2014). Unfortunately, due to poor awareness among primary care providers (PCPs) this disease remains highly underdiagnosed despite its …

Genetic linkage and association studies in celiac disease: discoveries from whole genome analysis
Celiac Disease (CD) or Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy (GSE) is a life-long disorder. It is characterized by inflammation in the small intestine of genetically predisposed individuals caused by inappropriate immune response to gluten, a protein enriched in some of our common grains (wheat, rye and …

Celiac Blood Flow Regulation, Acid-Base Balance and Production in Heat-Stressed Cockerels (Cate Cholamines)
An acid-base disturbance characterized by reduced blood CO2 and H+ content developes in heat-stressed panting fowl. An acid-base imbalance could reduce productivity either by reducing metabolic efficiency or by depresing energy absorption by reducing gastrointestinal blood flow.

Celiac Test Assay Comparison: Bio-Rad Autoimmune EIA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA and IgG Tests on the Inova Quanta-Lyser 240 vs. BioPlex 2200 Celiac IgA and IgG Kits for Use at a Large Reference Laboratory
<p>As awareness of Celiac disease grows, testing services offered by clinical laboratories must expand accordingly. Testing needs at large reference laboratories are especially impacted by this change due to their coverage of broad geographic range and diverse patient populations. For this reason, …

What is the Relationship Between Quality of Life and Coping Strategies of Adults with Celiac Disease Adhering to a Gluten Free Diet?
Until recently, celiac disease was thought to be rare in the United States. However over the past ten years, the reported prevalence has increased from 1 in 4600 persons to 1 in 133 persons. The latest estimate makes the prevalence comparable to the prevalence in Europe, where the disease is …
