Thrombosis of a Developmental Venous Anomaly in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Case Report and Radiologic Follow-up
We describe the clinical and neuroradiologic follow-up of a 62-year-old man with a history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) presenting with new onset epilepsy and intracranial hemorrhage caused by thrombosis of a DVA who fully recovered after treatment with oral anticoagulant therapy. Patients with IBD have an increased risk of thrombosis because of inflammatory activity and the hypercoagulable state. Here we describe the first case of DVA thrombosis in a patient with IBD, and we show clinical and neuroradiologic follow-up after anticoagulant therapy.

Risk of subarachnoid haemorrhage in people admitted to hospital with selected immune-mediated diseases: record-linkage studies
Conclusions: Our findings strongly support the suggestion that patients with some immune-mediated diseases have an increased risk of SAH. Further studies of the mechanisms behind this association are warranted.

Cardiovascular Risk in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: It’s a Heartache!
Rungoe C, Basit S, Ranthe MF, et al. Risk of ischemic heart disease in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a nationwide Danish cohort study. Gut 2013;62:689–694. Besides predisposing to venous thromboembolism, chronic systemic inflammation is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis by promoting plaque formation, inducing endothelial dysfunction, and promoting platelet activation and aggregation (N Engl J Med 2005;352:1685–1695). Epidemiologic studies have shown that chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus are associated with premature atherosclerosis an...

Successful Treatment of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis Associated with Ulcerative Colitis
Thromboembolic complications, such as deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, are well described in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, but cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but potentially devastating complication. The authors describe the case of a 36-year-old Japanese man presenting with CVT associated with ulcerative colitis (UC) that was successfully treated with a combination of continuous anticoagulant and pulse steroid therapy. Our observations suggest that aggressive therapy for inducing acute UC remission is vitally important for CVT associated with UC.

Adiponectin as a routine clinical biomarker.
Abstract Adiponectin is a protein synthesized and secreted predominantly by adipocytes into the peripheral blood. However, circulating adiponectin level is inversely related with body weight, especially visceral fat accumulation. The mechanism of this paradoxical relation remains obscure. Low circulating adiponectin concentrations (hypoadiponectinemia; <4 μg/mL) are associated with a variety of diseases, including dysmetabolism (type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, hyperuricemia), atherosclerosis (coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease), slee...

Impact of post operative intensity modulated radiotherapy on acute gastro-intestinal toxicity for patients with endometrial cancer: Results of the phase II RTCMIENDOMETRE French multicentre trial.
CONCLUSION: In accordance with our hypothesis, post-operative IMRT resulted in a low rate (less than 30%) of acute GI grade 2 toxicity, in patients with endometrial carcinomas. At W15, no patient demonstrated a grade 2 adverse event, and the prevalence of remaining grade 1 events was less than 20%. PMID: 24630537 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

What is the best strategy for successful bowel preparation under special conditions?
Abstract Adequate bowel preparation is important for successful colonoscopic examination. Several effective colonic cleansing agents are available and routinely prescribed, but each carries its own limitations and benefits from particular dosing regimens. The most frequently prescribed colonic cleansing agent, the polyethylene glycol (PEG) cathartic solution, suffers from low patient compliance in general, due to its unpalatable taste and smell coupled with the large ingested volumes required. However, PEG is preferred over other cathartics for use in individuals of advanced age, sufferers of chronic kidney diseas...

Paroxysmal Dysarthria and Ataxia after Treatment of Brainstem Encephalitis (P6.053)
CONCLUSIONS: Paroxysmal dysarthria and ataxia is most often recognized as a complication of multiple sclerosis, but it can occur in other neurologic diseases with midbrain lesions near or involving the red nucleus. Effective treatments include carbamazepine, acetazolamide, lamotrigine, and phenytoin.Study Supported by: N/A.Disclosure: Dr. Klaas has nothing to disclose. Dr. Boes has nothing to disclose.

Crohns disease with central nervous system vasculitis causing subarachnoid hemorrhage due to aneurysm and cerebral ischemic stroke
We report a 39-year-old male who presented with headache, vomiting, and left-sided weakness in the known case of CD. Cross-sectional imaging (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging,) showed right gangliocapsular acute infarct with supraclinoid cistern subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Cerebral digital substraction angiography (DSA) showed dilatation and narrowing of right distal internal carotid artery (ICA). Left ICA was chronically occluded. His inflammatory markers were significantly raised. Imaging features are suggestive of cerebral vasculitis. Arterial and venous infarcts due to thrombosis are known in CD. O...

The One Food Nutritionists Eat Every Single Day
By Sarah-Jane Bedwell, SELF While registered dietitians certainly recommend balance, variety, and moderation to ensure you get all the necessary nutrients that you need, they have "personal superfoods" that they reach for on a regular basis for both nutrition and convenience purposes. From turmeric smoothies to chocolate and peanut butter combos, dietitians around the country share the foods they eat every single day. Citrus Fruit I eat some form of vitamin C and potassium packed citrus each day because the delightfully refreshing flavors are a great reminder that good nutrition should taste great! It might be a 6 ounce...

The Toll-like Receptor Radical Cycle pathway: a new drug target in immune-related chronic fatigue.
Abstract In this review we discuss that peripheral and central activation of the Toll-like receptor 2/4 (TLR2/4) Radical Cycle may underpin the pathophysiology of immune-related chronic fatigue secondary to other medical diseases and conditions. The TLR Radical Cycle plays a role in illnesses and conditions that are disproportionately commonly comorbid with secondary chronic fatigue, including a) neuroinflammatory disorders, e.g. Parkinson's disease, stroke, depression, psychological stressors, and b) systemic disorders, e.g. (auto)immune disorders, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ankylosing spondylitis, ch...

Thromboembolic complications in inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a 1.5–3.5-fold higher risk of thromboembolism when compared to the non-IBD population and the risk is much more prominent at the time of a flare. Arterial thromboembolism (ischemic stroke, focal white matter ischemia, cardiac ischemia, peripheral vascular disease and mesenteric ischemia) and venous thromboembolism (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, retinal, hepatic, portal and mesenteric vein thromboses) belong to the group of underestimated extraintestinal complications in IBD patients, which are associate...
