New Concepts in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic immune-mediated inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract of unknown origin, which includes Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and inflammatory bowel disease of unclassified type. It is associated with different intestinal and extraintestinal manifestations like different neurological and psychiatric disorders. Histology is an important tool in the diagnosis and prognosis of inflammatory bowel disease and has an increasing part in patients' management. The objective of treatment is to make and keep long-lasting remission by immunosuppressive treatment like corticosteroids, thiopurines, and monoclonal antibodies directed against tumor necrosis factor alpha. Therapeutic drug monitoring of thiopurines by measuring levels of their metabolites has been proposed as a potentially effective tool in optimizing therapy in inflammatory bowel disease. Diets and their components influence microbiota of the intestine, function of the epithelial barrier, immune response, and other factors that have an important role in development and treatment of inflammation in the gut mucosa.
The Physiology of the Female Athlete – Performance, Health, and Recovery
Current understanding of physiological characteristics of different populations and responses to environmental stress and exercise is primarily derived from research using male participants. Therefore, the physiological responses to exercise testing, prescription, and training in females should be further characterized and explored, as does knowledge on female-specific health and recovery from exercise. Additional female-focused research is thus required to develop and enhance our understanding of women’s exercise physiology.
Vitamin D in 2020
Many things have been said and written on the skeletal and non-skeletal effects of vitamin D, but the largest recent interventional studies are generally negative. How should we thus position ourselves in 2020? Should we say “stop” or “not yet”? Indeed, the aging of the population, as well as new challenges and discoveries, is still triggering interest in this old molecule. In this Special Edition of Nutrients, we invited top experts to give their opinion on this important debate. We also encouraged scientists to submit their latest research on nutritional requirements in the general population and in high-risk groups, as well as treatment strategies, epidemiology, analytical updates and new devices for vitamin D measurement and the effect of vitamin D on bone and extra-skeletal health. As readers will see, this Special Issue reinforces the high prevalence of vitamin deficiency and insufficiency in the general population and supports the safety of this low-cost molecule, revealing new perspectives regarding the extra-skeletal effects of vitamin D.
Crohn's Disease
None
Crohns Disease
This book discusses the extra-intestinal manifestations of Crohn's disease, recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of Crohn's disease, the role of partial enteral nutrition and apheresis in Crohn's disease, and how Crohn's disease is treated in Chinese medicine. This book is a useful reference for practicing physicians who treat Crohn's disease.
Novi Slovenski biografski leksikon
V drugem zvezku (osebnosti s priimki na črke B–Bla) Novega Slovenskega biografskega leksikona v 257 geslih nadaljujemo s predstavitvijo najvidnejših slovenskih in s Slovenijo povezanih osebnosti iz vseh obdobij naše zgodovine. Glavna odlika leksikona je izčrpen in sorazmerno obsežen opis življenja in dela osebe. Poleg podrobnih stvarnih podatkov o rojstvu, šolanju in zaposlitvah, značilnih za leksikone, je pogosto predstavljeno tudi kulturnozgodovinsko ozadje posameznikovega dela in delovanja. Ker so avtorji gesel praviloma tudi strokovnjaki s področij, na katerih so delovale ali še delujejo predstavljene osebnosti, je vsebinska predstavitev še posebej temeljita in posodobljena z novimi spoznanji. Tiskano izdajo dopolnjuje spletni portal Slovenska biografija (www.slovenska-biografija.si ; urednica Petra Vide Ogrin, Biblioteka SAZU), v katerem je trenutno okoli 6000 gesel.
WHO antenatal care recommendations for a positive pregnancy experience. Nutritional interventions update
The World Health Organization's comprehensive antenatal care (ANC) guideline WHO recommendations on antenatal care for a positive pregnancy experience was first published in 2016 with the objective of improving the quality of routine health care that all women and adolescent girls receive during pregnancy. The overarching principle - to provide pregnant service users with a positive pregnancy experience - aims to encourage countries to expand their health-care agendas beyond survival, with a view to maximizing health, human rights and the potential of their populations. This guideline presents that evidence and updated recommendation on antenatal vitamin D supplements, which updates and does not alter the corresponding recommendation previously issued.
