Detection of clonal T cells in the circulation of patients with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a sclerodermalike disease in patients with acute or chronic renal insuffiency related to administration of gadolinium-containing contrast agents. Previous studies have demonstrated clonal T-cell ... Read more...

Pathogenesis and management of iron deficiency anemia: emerging role of celiac disease, helicobacter pylori, and autoimmune gastritis.

29 Sep 2009 The causes of iron deficiency vary significantly during different stages of life, and according to gender and socioeconomic circumstances. Although dietary iron is important, iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is mostly attributed to blood loss and may be ... Read more...

Inflammatory bowel disease in the setting of autoimmune pancreatitis.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Despite scattered case reports, the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is unknown. We sought to better characterize the putative association between the conditions. METHODS: ... Read more...
