The differential diagnosis of ulcerative colitis versus angiodysplasia of the colon with ischemic colitis

Abstract

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the inflammatory bowel diseases with a continuously increasing of prevalence. Their exact causes are still not well known and, more than that, they are raising up serious issues of diagnosis. The same difficulties of diagnosis are encountered in the case of the colonic angiodysplasia or ischemic colitis (IC). Colonic angiodysplasia is a common vascular abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract, being diagnosed mostly in the elderly persons, in a similar manner to the IC. For all these diseases comorbidities plays their important role both as causes of the onset and aggravating factors during the evolution. The differential diagnosis between these three conditions needs a complex and multidisciplinary approach, involving at least clinical evaluation, endoscopic and imaging assessments, and histopathological exam.

Induction of ferroptosis by natural products in non-small cell lung cancer: a comprehensive systematic review

“…CTN has been proven to possess various biological activities, including antioxidant ( Guo et al, 2022 ), anti-tumor ( Dalil et al, 2022 ), antibacterial ( Zhong et al, 2021 ), and anti-inflammatory effects ( Wu et al, 2020 ). Li ( Popa et al, 2021 ) discovered that CTN effectively suppresses NSCLC cells invasion, proliferation and tumorigenesis. The treatment of CTN resulted in increased iron accumulation within the cells and decreased the expression levelof GPX4 protein.…”
