Celiac Disease

Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is a multifaceted autoimmune disorder that affects approximately 1 in 100 individuals globally. Alarming statistics reveal that only 30% of celiac cases have been diagnosed accurately. This disorder is triggered by the consumption of gluten, which can damage the small intestine. Dr. Misra, an expert in the field, is researching celiac disease and evaluating various treatment options. Identifying and diagnosing celiac disease correctly is essential to prevent long-term complications and improve patient outcomes.

Early Liver Cancer Screening

NASH, or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, is a liver condition that often goes unnoticed for years. However, it should not be taken lightly as it gradually worsens and can eventually lead to cirrhosis, a severe liver disease. Cirrhosis from NASH is becoming increasingly prevalent in the United States and is now one of the main causes of adult cirrhosis. This underscores the importance of early detection and appropriate medical management, which can help prevent further liver damage and the progression of the disease. If you suspect that you may be at risk for NASH, it is critical to speak with your healthcare provider and take the necessary steps to safeguard your liver health.

Join Encore Borland Groover Clinical Research (EBGCR) for a complimentary Fibroscan test for fatty liver. Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity to assess your liver health and take control of your well-being.

Bowel or Esophageal Strictures

Bowel or Esophageal Strictures

Bowel strictures, which are defined as a narrowing of the small or large intestine, can cause serious disruption to the digestive system. Symptoms can vary depending on the location and severity of the stricture, but commonly include nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, and problems passing both gas and stool.

An esophageal stricture occurs when the esophagus narrows due to scarring of the lining. This scar tissue may be caused by chronic acid reflux and heartburn. While most esophageal strictures do not require clinical intervention, if left untreated those affected may experience difficulty in swallowing.

Fortunately, advancements in the medical field have made it possible to treat bowel or esophageal strictures through a variety of options such as endoscopy procedures or clinical trials involving drug therapy.
