    Celiac.com 05/02/2016 - Even with endoscopies, physicians can still miss some cases of celiac disease. A team of researchers recently set out to determine if I-Scan, or virtual chromo-endoscopy, could improve sensitivity of endoscopy to detect markers of villous atrophy in patients with celiac disease.

    Photo: CC---truthout.orgThe research team included Hugo A. Penny, Peter D. Mooney, Mitchell Burden, Nisha Patel, Alexander J. Johnston, Simon H. Wong, Julian Teare, and David S. Sanders. They are variously affiliated with Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield, UK, and with St Mary's Hospital in London, UK.

    For their study, the team assessed patients from two UK hospitals in 3 groups.

    • For Group 1, they used standard high definition, white light endoscopy (WLE).
    • For Group 2, they used WLE plus I-Scan.
    • For Group 3, they used a non-high definition control group.

    They recruited an initial group of 758 patients. That group was 62% female, with an average age of 52. They recorded the presence of endoscopic markers, and took at least 4 duodenal biopsies from all patients. They also made concurrent blood tests, and compared observations with patient histology. The patient breakdown was as follows: Group 1: 230; Group 2: 228; Group 3: 300.

    The team made 135 new diagnoses of celiac disease, with 21 cases in Group 1, 24 in Group 2, and 89 in Group 3. The sensitivity for detection of endoscopic markers of villous atrophy was significantly higher in both Group 1 at 85.7% and Group 2 at 75%, compared to non-high definition controls at 41.6%.

    There was no significant difference between high definition only and I-Scan groups.

    In non-high definition endoscopy, they found that missed diagnosis was mainly due to lesser degrees of villous atrophy (p = 0.019) and low tTG titre (p = 0.007).

    From their data, the team concluded that high definition endoscopy with or without I-Scan increases the detection of celiac disease during routine endoscopy.

    I would like to have read what Iscan actually is in this article. Doing a search for it brings up many different answers.

    Celiac.com 08/19/2013 - Data from blood studies suggest that about 1% or so of North Americans have celiac disease. However, there is no good screening data based on small intestinal biopsy performed during routine endoscopic evaluations.
    Researcher H.J Freeman recently set out to determine rates of detection of adult celiac disease via duodenal screening biopsies over a thirty year period.
    For his study, he looked at patients referred between January 1982 and December 2011 for evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms that required elective investigative upper endoscopic assessment, and who underwent duodenal biopsies to determine whether changes of adult celiac disease were present.
    Freeman looked at a total of 9665 patients, including 4008 (41.5%) males and 5657 (68.5%) females...

    Celiac.com 08/20/2015 - Celiac disease is frequently mis-diagnosed. Even when patients received endoscopy, celiac disease is often missed or not detected.
    A team of researchers recently assessed the accuracy of finger prick-based point-of-care tests in the detection of celiac disease, and developed an algorithm for diagnosis.
    The research team included PD Mooney, SH Wong, AJ Johnston, M Kurien, A Avgerinos, and DS Sanders. They are variously affiliated with the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, United Kingdom and the University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom.
    Their team conducted a prospective study of two groups of celiac disease patients evaluated at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield UK from March 2013 through February 2014.
    In group one, the team...

    Celiac.com 11/10/2015 - Doctors might not need a biopsy to accurately diagnose celiac disease in asymptomatic children who have elevated anti-tTG, according to the latest study.
    In that study, researchers in Italy evaluated a new biopsy-sparing protocol for diagnosing celiac disease in symptomatic children with high anti-transglutaminase (anti-tTG). Their data showed that this approach might also work in asymptomatic children with elevated antibody levels.
    In 2012, the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hematology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) published guidelines that said biopsies could be omitted in children and adolescents with signs and symptoms of celiac disease if they met certain guidelines.
    Dr. Francesco Valitutti of Rome's Sapienza University led a team that...

    Celiac.com 11/25/2015 - People with Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) suffer intestinal and non-intestinal symptoms when they consume gluten-containing food, but they do not have either celiac disease or wheat allergy.
    Because there is currently no known NCGS biomarker, it is important to develop reliable standard procedures to confirm NCGS diagnosis. A recent scientific paper examines expert recommendations on how the diagnostic protocol should be performed for the confirmation of NCGS.
    The researchers contributing to the paper include Carlo Catassi, Luca Elli, Bruno Bonaz, Gerd Bouma, Antonio Carroccio, Gemma Castillejo, Christophe Cellier, Fernanda Cristofori, Laura de Magistris, Jernej Dolinsek, Walburga Dieterich, Ruggiero Francavilla, Marios Hadjivassiliou, Wolfgang Holtmeier...
