Book Description
A Cure for Crohn's is a true life medical mystery of how the cause of a disease which affects 1.5 million Americans, mostly adolescents, has been kept undercover from the public.An identical disease occurs in cattle, called "Johne's disease" (pronounced Yo-nee's), which is caused by a bacterium, mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis, or "MAP." The bacterium is carried by flocks of migrating birds, which contaminate the pasturelands, causing Johne's disease in dairy cattle. MAP is then secreted in the cow's milk, finds its way into consumer milk products, and causes Crohn's disease in susceptible individuals. Supposedly to avert a public panic, the link between Johne's disease, Crohn's disease, and milk has been suppressed by government agencies. Originally, MAP could not be seen by conventional microscopy in Crohn's disease specimens, and the theory was dismissed as fearmongering. However, with more modern DNA analysis, MAP's genetic fingerprints have been identified in practically every Crohn's disease specimen examined. Finally, the perpetrator has been uncovered. Tel Aviv's RedHill Biopharma has developed an antibiotic cocktail - designated RHB-104 - which is effective against MAP- and Crohn's disease. The results from the first Phase 3 clinical trial, released in December 2020, were a spectacular success. At last the real cause of Crohn's disease has been proven and an effective treatment is emerging. At last - A Cure for Crohn's.

Crohn's Disease
Author: Roberto Tersigni
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 8847014727
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, whose symptoms are similar to other intestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis; it can therefore be difficult to diagnose. Its knowledge and understanding have increased considerably in the last years; new advances in genetics, medical and surgical management offer today new possibilities for patients suffering from an inflammatory bowel disease. However, Crohn's disease remains a difficult disease to deal with, both from a research and clinical point of view. This book provides general practitioners with a basic knowledge of the disease, offering in the same time an update on new facts about Crohn's disease to specialists. It can also be useful for residents willing to develop a deeper knowledge of inflammatory bowel diseases.

Book Description
Crohn's disease is a chronic illness that afflicts millions of patients worldwide. Despite its increasing recognition as a medical specialty within gastroenterology, there has been little attention devoted to Crohn's from a surgical perspective. This volume fills that void and acts as the first catalogue to address the surgical management of Crohn's disease. The goal of this work was to provide surgeons with the latest medical and surgical information to manage patients with Crohn's disease effectively.In this book, contributions from both gastroenterologists describe the history, diagnosis, nutrition, medical management, and surveillance of Crohn's disease. Chapters from general and colorectal surgeons detail common clinical techniques, minimally invasive surgical approach and management of perianal disease. In addition, surgical complications specific to Crohn's disease are also reviewed.This book provides all of the essential information needed in the surgical management of Crohn's disease in one simple volume. It aims to be a useful resource for practicing surgeons and surgical residents as well as gastroenterologists. The authors wish readers to understand the complex decision making and sophisticated surgical techniques that these patients often demand.
