2. 6. Coeliac Disease in Childhood : On the Intestinal Mucosa and the Use of Oats

   Author : Elisabet Hollén; Karl-Eric Magnusson; Marie-Louise Hammarström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; celiaki; havre; avenin; anti-aveninantikroppar; NO; tight junctions; occludin; claudin; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi;

   Abstract : Celiaki, eller glutenintolerans, är en av våra vanligaste kroniska sjukdomar i barnaåren. Sjukdomen orsakar en kraftig inflammation i tunntarmens slemhinna efter intag av glutenhaltig föda hos personer med ärftlig benägenhet att utveckla celiaki. En frisk tarm är kraftigt veckad för att öka ytan för upptag av näringsämnen. READ MORE

4. 7. Wheat sensitization : more than food allergy

   Author : Nora Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Wheat is one of the six most common foods responsible for food allergies in children and is introduced into the diet early in life. In children ingestion of wheat can lead to a variety of clinical manifestations, including cutaneous, gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms. READ MORE

5. 8. Serological markers in subclinical and clinical gluten enteropathy

   Author : Ewa Grodzinsky; Claes Hallert; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for the measurement of anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA), thereby providing a practical and cheap assay for use in the diagnosis of coeliac disease (CD). Since gliadin is a common food antigen for most people, a large group of apparently healthy blood donors (n=l866) was analysed, as well as children and adults with symptoms more or less suggesting CD.

6. 9. Analysis of epithelial electrophysiological function in paediatric intestinal biopsies

   Author : Annika Reims; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Cystic fibrosis; CFTR; coeliac disease; Ussing chamber; intestinal permeability; ion transport; leukotriene; human; duodenum;

   Abstract : Intestinal biopsies are routinely taken from children under investigation of failure to thrive, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and/or malnutrition. These biopsies are usually only evaluated morphologically, i.e. no information is collected with regard to mucosal function. READ MORE

7. 10. The Perfect Storm? Gluten and type 1 diabetes

   Author : Emma Adlercreutz; Celiaki och diabetes; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NKG2D; Celiac disease autoimmunity; Gluten; Type 1 diabetes; Perinatal risk;

   Abstract : Aim: The general objective of the present research was to study the association between type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, and the effects of dietary gluten on the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. More specific aims were as follows: to estimate the prevalence of celiac-disease-associated autoantibodies in children with type 1 diabetes; to study the connection between non-HLA genetic risk markers and autoantibodies associated with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease during the first year after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes; to investigate the effect of gluten on the risk of developing type 1 diabetes; to evaluate the impact of perinatal factors on the risk of developing both type 1 diabetes and celiac disease.
