I-18: Evaluating Pregnancy and Long-Term Outcomes of ART
When treating infertile couples by assisted reproductive technologies (ART), all aspects of their care in individual clinics should be evaluated frequently. Results should then be compared with other clinics offering similar treatment. Evaluation of possible adverse longterm outcomes can be achieved by pooling results from individual clinics in national, regional and international registers and...
متن کاملEarly infections are associated with increased risk for celiac disease: an incident case-referent study
BACKGROUND Celiac disease is defined as a 'chronic small intestinal immune-mediated enteropathy precipitated by exposure to dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals'. Sweden has experienced an "epidemic" of celiac disease in children below two years of age. Celiac disease etiology is considered multifactorial; however, little is known regarding potential risk- or protecting factors...
متن کاملGluten - Not a Friendly Protein
Introduction: Gluten is a protein found in grains. Research has shown that the gluten that is in grains of wheat, barley, rye, and oats (to a lesser degree) is toxic to many individuals. While gluten is essential for the make-up of these 4 grains, our bodies do not need it. Is it healthful? The protein in today’s wheat is poorly digested and can be harmful. An estimated 95% of prepared fo...
متن کاملDevelopment of Celiac Disease; Pathogenesis and Strategies to Control: A Molecular Approach
Celiac disease (CD) is an intestinal chronic disorder with multifactorial etiology resulting in small intestinal mucosal injuries and malabsorption. Trigger from gluten and related cereal proteins, HLA-DQ2/DQ8 molecules and autoantibodies to tissue transglutaminase, are essential to precipitate the disease. Genetic, dietary and immunological factors explain geographically regional differences i...
متن کاملCeliac Disease
Celiac disease also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy is characterized by intestinal mucosal damage and malabsorption from dietary intake of wheat, rye or barley. Symptoms may appear with introduction of cereal in the first 3 years of life. A second peak in symptoms occurs in adults during the third or forth decade and even as late as eight decade of life. The prevalence of this disease is ...
