(1) There were 47 patients with universal colitis and 12 patients with left sided colitis.

(2) In contrast, only epithelial cells from ulcerative colitis showed an appreciable increase after calcium ionophore induction.

(3) Colonoscopy showed total colitis with superficial ulceration and oedematous polypoid mucosa extending into the terminal ileum.

(4) Nineteen patients had left sided colitis and five patients had more extensive or total colitis.

(5) Ulcerative colitis patients Nineteen patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing colectomy were also studied.

(6) Thirty patients had coexisting ulcerative colitis, including three who had previously undergone colectomy and one who discontinued treatment after three months.

(7) Patients with active colitis had clinical symptoms of urgency, loose stools, abdominal pain, and blood in the stool.

(8) Ulcerative colitis may present with anaemia when bowel symptoms are mild or ignored.

(9) One hundred and twenty ulcerative colitis patients, 105 Crohn's disease patients and 49 controls were studied.

(10) Twelve patients with ulcerative colitis had mild, 19 moderate, and 10 severe attacks.

(11) The strong association between colorectal dysplasia and cancer in ulcerative colitis was described in 1967.

(12) Specimens taken at various levels in the colon showed a microscopic colitis that was maximal in the transverse colon.

(13) The vascular endothelium seems to produce superoxide in the inflamed mucosa, which would exacerbate tissue injury in ulcerative colitis.

(14) All patients underwent colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy before study entry to confirm the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis.

(15) Support for this comes from the finding that faecal protease activity, largely derived from bacteria, is increased threefold in colitis.

(16) It has been further postulated that pouchitis represents a recurrence of ulcerative colitis in reservoirs with colonic metaplasia.

(17) These cells infiltrate into the colonic mucosa and are abundant during the active phase of colitis.

(18) This, as far as we know, is the first reported case of the combination of gold induced and infective colitis.

(19) Corticosteroid drugs are the most effective and widely used treatment for acute relapse of ulcerative colitis.

(20) An alternative might be interference with bacterial adhesion by pathogenic Escherichia coli, which have abnormal adherence in ulcerative colitis.

(21) Several studies have shown the efficacy of 6-mercaptopurine and azathioprine in the treatment of both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

(22) All patients with sclerosing cholangitis and positive tests for anti-lactoferrin had ulcerative colitis. Sentencedict.com

(23) Some of the reported difference in rates of metabolism could relate to the severity of the underlying colitis.

(24) Three studies on regional intestinal permeability in patients with ulcerative colitis have been published.

(25) Of the patients with benign strictures, 32 had universal colitis and 10 had left sided involvement alone.

(26) Bismuth enemas may offer a new therapeutic option in distal ulcerative colitis.

(27) Circulating anticolon antibodies have been found in serum samples from patients with ulcerative colitis.

(28) In this study we have examined both benign and malignant colorectal strictures in ulcerative colitis and have compared their features.

(29) Thus it should not be assumed that older patients with ulcerative colitis have weaker sphincters than younger patients.

(30) The presence of perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies in unaffected family members of ulcerative colitis patients favours this view.
