P130 Terminal ileitis: Not always Crohn's

Terminal ileitis is not always Crohn’s disease

Chronic inflammation in the terminal ileum (TI) suggests a cause for the patient's symptoms, especially when the clinical suspicion is Crohn's disease (CD). Clinic, laboratory, endoscopic, histopathological evaluation of patients is required for the diagnosis of CD. The most frequent localization of CD is the TI. There are many other diseases affecting the TI. Non-steroidal antiinflammatory dru...

Facing Terminal Ileitis: Going Beyond Crohn’s Disease

Terminal ileitis (TI) is an inflammatory condition of the terminal portion of the ileum that may occur acutely with right lower quadrant pain followed or not by diarrhea, or exhibit chronic obstructive symptoms and bleeding and normally it is associated to Crohn's disease (CD) although it may be associated to other different conditions. This review intended to contribute to a better understandi...

Tuberculosis terminal ileitis: A forgotten entity mimicking Crohn’s disease

Intestinal tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon lesion for which differential diagnosis can be difficult. We present a case of a 53-year-old male and a systematic review of the literature, from clinical symptoms to differential diagnosis, unusual complications and therapy. The patient was admitted to the hospital with signs of acute abdomen as a result of a perforated terminal ileitis. Based on the...

KLP Not Always Efficient

The size of the nondominated set of a vector set is greatly dependent on the size of the original vector set N and the dimension of the vector M . Theoretical analysis shows that when M = O(log N) the original set has big nondominated set which may be the original set itself, and in the case M = O(log N), a classical algorithm (KLP) for finding nondominated set has complexity of KLP higher than...
