Journal ArticleDOI
Autoantibodies to tissue transglutaminase as predictors of celiac disease
Walburga Dieterich,Walburga Dieterich,Eberhardt Laag,Heike Schöpper,Heike Schöpper,Umberto Volta,Anne Ferguson,Helen Gillett,Ernst Otto Riecken,Detlef Schuppan,Detlef Schuppan +10 more
TL;DR: IgA anti-tTG and IgA EMA show an excellent correlation, further confirming the enzyme as the celiac disease autoantigen, and will be a useful tool for population screening of a hitherto underdiagnosed disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and pathological spectrum of coeliac disease--active, silent, latent, potential.
TL;DR: Quantitative histology and computerised image analysis have shown that these features occur in a continuum, with the flat lesion at one end of the spectrum and a mucosa with normal villus and crypt architecture, but an abnormally high density or count of villus intraepithelial lymphocytes, at the other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low bone mineral density in Crohn's disease, but not in ulcerative colitis, at diagnosis
TL;DR: At diagnosis, low bone mineralization is a feature of Crohn's disease but not ulcerative colitis, and treatment with corticosteroids did not result in further bone loss in 1 year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of a low dose polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution with lactulose for treatment of chronic constipation
A Attar,M Lémann,Anne Ferguson,M Halphen,M C Boutron,B Flourié,E Alix,M Salmeron,F Guillemot,S Chaussade,A M Ménard,J Moreau,G Naudin,M Barthet +13 more
TL;DR: Low dose PEG 3350 was more effective than lactulose and better tolerated in chronic constipation and clinical tolerance was similar in the two groups, but flatus was less frequently reported in the PEG group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immune responses to fed protein antigens in mice. 3. Systemic tolerance or priming is related to age at which antigen is first encountered.
Stephan Strobel,Anne Ferguson +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that feeding a weight related dose of ovalbumin within the first week of life results in priming for both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, despite the profound tolerance found in adult animals when treated in the same way.
