Celiac Disease Might Soon Be Cured!

B'SD

It's been a big week for medical accomplishments and related announcements. Dr. Alessio Fasano, a gastroenterologist who directs the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland has learned that Celiac Disease might be an auto-immune disease, in which the human body literally attacks itself. The solution to the problem might soon be found in a pill

Dr. Fasano is conducting Phase 2 clinical trials of a celiac disease drug called larazotide acetate. He hopes it can end much suffering.

Autoimmune disease trigger possibly found

Maryland researchers have identified a key receptor in the intestine that can trigger celiac disease, and they hope their findings can be applied to other autoimmune disorders, such as Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis.Celiac disease is a digestive disorder that damages the small intestine and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. People with the condition cannot process a protein called gluten - most commonly found in grains such as wheat, rye and barley, but also found in medicines and vitamins.

Common in the general population, celiac disease affects an estimated 2 million Americans, or one out of 133 people, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.In this month's issue of Gastroenterology, University of Maryland scientists wrote that gliadin, the toxic component of gluten for celiac patients, binds to an intestinal receptor called CXCR3. The receptor then releases the protein zonulin, which makes the intestine more permeable.

"We know a lot about celiac disease, but we never understood the question of how the protein gains access in the intestine," said Dr. Alessio Fasano, a gastroenterologist who directs the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland and lead author of the study."Further study is needed, but this could allow us to intervene so that less zonulin is released, which may prevent the immune response altogether."

In healthy people, the intestine is permeable only for short periods. But in celiac patients, the effect is longer-term, which may cause a variety of health complications. Eventually, the immune system responds by ...

Don't Drown the Baby!

14 Iyar 5768


Parents, save the summer scare-fest for teens safely watching horror movies in air-conditioned movie theaters. Check out this information for sparing overly hot babies from medical nightmares: The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions recently alerted parents and other childcare-givers that...


"TOO MUCH WATER RAISES SEIZURE RISK IN BABIES
--Breast milk, formula best for hydration"

Hopkins pediatrician and head of the Children's Emergency Department Dr. Allen Walker, M.D., says ""Babies need extra fluids in the hot weather, but straight water is not one of them. "A parent's natural instinct is to give the baby water to prevent dehydration, but too much water can disrupt the delicate balance in a baby's body, leading to water intoxication. Before you know it, the baby is seizing."

Walker says that ADDING WATER TO FORMULA IS DANGEROUS. Babies under a year of age need Mom's milk or formula. Straight water can lead straight to the emergency room - NOT what the baby needs!


SYMPTOMS OF WATER INTOXICATION in infants include:

* Changes in Mental Status, i.e., unusual irritability or drowsiness
* Low Body Temperature, usually 97 degrees or less
* Facial Swelling or Puffiness
* Seizures

"Though any infant who consumes too much water can suffer water intoxication, the risk is highest among children who are already dehydrated, typically after a bout with viral or bacterial infections that cause vomiting and diarrhea. Symptoms of dehydration in a young child include dry mouth, increased thirst, irritability and reduced sweating and urination. An easy way to spot dehydration is if a child has fewer than three wet diapers in 24 hours," Walker says.
