UDCA treatment in NASH patients resulted in statistically significant reductions in the mean CIMT over a 6-month period. We believe that this benefit of UDCA may have resulted from decreased insulin resistance and increased serum high-density lipoprotein-apo A1 levels. However, larger, longer-term studies are needed to confirm this effect of UDCA in NASH.
Signet ring cell carcinoma is a subtype of adenocarcinoma and mainly originated from stomach. Terminal ileum involvement is uncommon and only 2 cases have been reported in the literature. We represent a case of signet ring cell carcinoma of the terminal ileum showing gross features mimicking Crohn's disease in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
