Duration of exposure to gluten and risk for autoimmune disorders in patients with celiac disease

TL;DR: The data show for the first time that the prevalence of autoimmune disorders in celiac disease is related to the duration of exposure to gluten.
Journal ArticleDOI

American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute Technical Review on the Diagnosis and Management of Celiac Disease

TL;DR: This technical review addresses the state of evidence for celiac disease epidemiology, detection by serologic testing, diagnosis by biopsy, treatment, and outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coeliac disease--associated disorders and survival.

TL;DR: At least 83% of the coeliac patients adhered strictly to the gluten free diet, which may explain the favourable outcome, and the five year survival rates of coeliasis patients did not differ from those in the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gluten sensitivity: from gut to brain

TL;DR: The range of neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity is reviewed and recent advances in the diagnosis and understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying neurological dysfunction related to gluten sensitivity are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The clinical pattern of subclinical/silent celiac disease: an analysis on 1026 consecutive cases.

TL;DR: This study has provided an analysis of the largest series of subclinical/silent celiac disease reported to date in Italy, and this form is most frequently recognized in adults, and prospective studies will clarify whether the lower frequency observed in children is a real or apparent phenomenon.

Antigliadin and Antiendomysium Antibody Determination for Coeliac Disease

TL;DR: Patients who are young at diagnosis of coeliac disease and without a morphological relapse were less than 2 years old at diagnosis so it is concluded that patients who areYoung at diagnosis should be challenged.

Hypertensive encephalopathy: magnetic resonance imaging demonstration of reversible cortical and white matter lesions

TL;DR: It is found that MRI appears more sensitive than CT and better defines the anatomy of cerebral involvement in HTE, which is caused by the multifocal extravasation of fluid and proteins across the blood-brain barrier during "breakthrough" of cerebral autoregulation.

Evidence that celiac disease is primarily associated with a DC locus allelic specificity

TL;DR: Celiac disease is primarily associated with the DC determinant and the previously described associations with DR3, DR7, B8, B13, and A1 can be explained by decreasing degrees of linkage disequilibrium with DC3.
Journal ArticleDOI

The diagnosis of coeliac disease. A commentary on the current practices of members of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (ESPGAN).

TL;DR: In 1977, 53 members of ESPGAN completed a questionnaire on their current practice in diagnosing coeliac disease, and it was noted that there are still no generally agreed criteria by which the histological lesions may be described, so a European panel has been set up to make recommendations.
