Celiac Disease

Effects of age of diagnosis and dietary compliance on growth parameters of patients with celiac disease

“…Disrupted growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 axis, participation of increasing levels of inflammatory markers in serum to IGF-system dysregulation, a decrease in IGF-1 and IGF-BP-3 levels, and autoimmune hypophysitis are also among the causes. 5,17,18 In this study, early diagnosis and full compliance to GFD has been shown to result in the best positive effect on children's growth parameters. Compliance to a gluten-free diet was shown to have significantly positive effects on weight and BMI z scores.…”

“…The only treatment of the disease is lifelong GFD. 5,12 To date, approximately half of the patients are diagnosed with atypical symptoms. 13 About 8-10% of the patients are diagnosed when they are investigated for short stature, and 10-40% of the patients have short stature during the diagnosis.…”

“…The estimated prevalence of CD in the UK is 1 : 100 [1]; however, it is currently being underdiagnosed, with as many as 90% of diagnoses being missed [1, 2]. …”

Detection of parasitic particles in domestic and urban wastewaters and assessment of removal efficiency of treatment plants in Tehran, Iran

“…All of trematodes have an indirect life cycle, unlike nematodes, and humans can’t be infected by eating the eggs of these flukes, therefore, the efficiency of wastewater treatment plants in removing eggs can lead to interruption of transmission cycle. Of all the helminth eggs likely to be present in wastewaters, Ascaris , Trichuris and hookworm are of particular public health concern because of severe socioeconomic consequences of an estimated 39 million DALYs (disability adjusted life year) lost to these infections [ 8 ]. Generally, parasite removal in wastewater has been synonymous with the removal of intestinal nematode ova, particularly those of Ascaris , Trichuris and the hookworms, because they occur commonly and simple purification and microscopic identification methods were available to determine their present.…”
