Disease relevance of Colitis, Ischemic

• We report on the development of 8 serious cases of ischemic colitis in patients with migraine treated with sumatriptan [1].
• Ischemic colitis and acalculous necrotizing cholecystitis as rare manifestations of cholesterol emboli in the same patient [2].
• This enhanced caveolin-2 expression was not detected in active Crohn's disease or ischemic colitis [3].
• BACKGROUND: Platelet-activating factor (PAF) and cytokines, such as interleukins, tumor necrosis factor, and others, are thought to play a role in the inflammatory process involving gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, ischemic colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis [4].
• In inflammatory bowel disease and ischemic colitis, expression of CLD mRNA in colon epithelium was similar to histologically normal colon epithelium, but the protein was found deeper in crypts, including proliferative epithelial cells [5].

High impact information on Colitis, Ischemic

• Reversible ischemic colitis after intravenous vasopressin therapy [6].
• A 50-year-old woman developed ischemic colitis temporally related to ingestion of a large dose of ergotamine tartrate [7].
• Indium-111 neutrophil imaging in ischemic colitis [8].
• Immunofluorescence studies identified nonvascular and vascular myocytes as resident cells coexpressing TNFalpha and ADAM17, both in our postischemic explant system and in surgical specimens from ischemic colitis patients [9].
• Ischemic colitis associated with pseudoephedrine: four cases [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Colitis, Ischemic

• Ischemic colitis and sumatriptan use [1].
• Ischemic colitis related to cocaine abuse [11].
• A case is reported of a patient with ischemic colitis and acalculous necrotizing cholecystitis, rare manifestations of cholesterol emboli in one patient [2].
• A case of reversible ischemic colitis in a young woman taking Premarin, with varium-enema confirmation of the initial diagnosis and subsequent clearing after discontinuation of the oral estrogen preparation, is reported [12].
• Ischemic colitis associated with naratriptan and oral contraceptive use [13].

Anatomical context of Colitis, Ischemic

• CONCLUSIONS: The vasoconstrictive action of pseudoephedrine may predispose susceptible patients to develop ischemic colitis in the watershed area of the splenic flexure [10].

Gene context of Colitis, Ischemic

• HIF-1 alpha and VEGF were overexpressed in the lesions of ischemic colitis [14].
• Ischemic colitis and acquired resistance to activated protein C in a woman using oral contraceptives [15].
• We confirmed the ischemic crisis in ischemic colitis at the molecular level, demonstrating overexpression of HIF-1 alpha and VEGF in ischemic lesions [14].
• Gangrenous ischemic colitis of the rectum: a rare complication of systemic lupus erythematosus [16].
• It appears that ischemic colitis was associated with the IFN treatment, suggesting that attention should be paid to this possible complication [17].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Colitis, Ischemic

• One woman had presented 6 months earlier with ischemic colitis while taking both pseudoephedrine and hormone replacement therapy [10].
• Ischemic colitis following colonoscopy in a systemic lupus erythematosus patient: report of a case [18].
• Cocaine abuse should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ischemic colitis, especially in a young adult [19].
