Idiopathic infl ammatory myopathies : An update

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a heterogeneous group of disease with complex clinical features. The histological features of them usually include various degrees of degenerative changes and inflammatory (usually lymphocytic) infiltrates [1]. Histopathological evaluation is one of the key tools for the diagnosis of IIM. Because of the complexity of clinical, morphological and labor...

Cardiovascular disease and venous thromboembolism in inflammatory bowel disease

The precise pathways that lead to Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are still unknown; however, as in other inflammatory and immune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has an increased risk of both cardiovascular (CV) and thromboembolic events [1,2]. This has tremendous implications, since CV disease is the leadin...

Cold Spark Discharge Plasma Treatment of Infl ammatory Bowel Disease in an Animal Model of Ulcerative Colitis

Cold plasma discharges have been shown to have medically-relevant therapeutic effects when applied to living tissues, including blood coagulation and wound healing; thus, plasma treatment of infl amed tissues in ulcerative colitis disease may be an effective approach to reduce adverse consequences if not cure the disease. Here we discuss results of the fi rst experimental study of cold plasma t...
