This article is a clinical trial, which investigates the formation of antibodies against infliximab when treating Crohn’s disease. It determines that those who have an initial reaction to infliximab already have a high amount of infliximab antibodies in their system and as a result they would not react as well to the treatment for an extended period of time. The aim to gauge the consequence of infliximab antibodies on the treatment of Crohn's disease was achieved by establishing the concentrations of infliximab and infliximab antibodies in patients, also taking note of the patients in which the infusion caused a negative affect. The research pays particular attention to data analysis of the concentration of infliximab and infliximab antibodies in the patients, it is useful as a accessory source, whilst it focuses on the effectiveness as a result of these antibodies, it does not go into detail on the effectiveness of infliximab therapy on the symptoms of Crohn's disease. The trial is limited by the small number of patients undertaking it, hence, to provide more information a more extensive trial is recommended. The source corroborates with other articles found as they often mention the formation of antibodies, which hinder the treatment but do not explain in detail as this article does. This article will not form the basis of this research topic as it focuses more on infliximab antibodies hindering treatment rather than infliximab as a treatment option, however this information is useful as an appendage. This source investigates patients with Crohn's disease who had to increase their infliximab dosage due to a lack of continued response and found that intensification of infliximab treatment was appropriate to regain a clinical... ... middle of paper ... ...’s disease; as a result, the attention is divided between the two drugs rather than focusing solely on infliximab. The small research group in this clinical trial limits the information given, consequently, to gain further accurate evidence a larger number of patients is recommended. This source has a high level of complexity wherein all of the significant variables are thoroughly thought out and discussed to give the most accurate results as possible. It has a high level of detail in terms of result analysis, discussing; clinical efficacy, mucosal healing, histological healing and safety which directly corroborates with the research question as it focuses on the treatment of the symptoms of Crohn’s disease. Although the information is limited by its focus on both infliximab and adalimumab it provides an extensive discussion of results making up for its limitations.

For patients with Crohn’s Disease this can be a daily occurrence that greatly affects their everyday lives. Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory disease that targets the gastrointestinal tract. Crohn’s most commonly will occur in the lower GI tract involving the small and large intestine and colon but can be found anywhere throughout the GI tract from mouth to anus. Crohn’s is lumped together in a larger group of illnesses more commonly referred to as inflammatory bowel disease. ("About crohn's disease," 2009)

- Explains that crohn's symptoms can be confused as other diseases or common daily bowel irritations. patients may experience persistent watery or loose diarrhea, abdominal cramping, bloating, or rectal bleeding, as well as loss of appetite, and weight loss.
- Explains that the best way to diagnose an improperly functioning gi tract is utilizing fluoroscopy.
- Explains that there is no cure for crohn's but just treatments to alleviate some of the symptoms. other options include antibiotics or a biological therapy that blocks the production of tumor necrosis factor or tnf.
- Explains that if non-invasive treatments were unsuccessful, the next step would be surgery. surgery involves resection, removal of the diseased intestine, or an ostomy.

This disease is considered to be degenerative and currently the only thing that can be done is manage the painful symptoms and suppress the self targeting actions by using immune suppressing drugs. The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is mostly unknown but there is a high amount of evidence that there are genetic predispositions for the disease. This being said however there are also environmental factors to asses these include, bacteria, viruses, fungi and other environmental factors. Doctors primarily use a physical examination to first suspect R.A. then send for blood work to confirm. There are many aspects to this disease and many questions left unanswered, the treatments available now are only temporarily and can in some cases cause more problems than benefits. Lab experiments and clinical trials are currently showing some great results and could within our lifetimes cure many autoimmune diseases including R.A..
In this essay, the author
- Explains that rheumatoid arthritis is a degenerative disease that has direct involvement with the immune system.
- Explains that although many are unknown on the causes of r.a., there are many things in correlation with the onset of disease, such as bacterial, viral, and fungal infections.
- Explains that r.a. symptoms include joint pain, swelling in joints, fatigue, lack of appetite, low-grade fever, muscle and joint aches, nodules under the skin, and stiffness.
- Explains laboratory tests for inflammation, such as sedimentation rate, c-reactive protein, and other less commonly used tests, can be used to qualify inflammation.

- Explains that current treatments for r.a. are minimal at best and deal with minimizing symptoms since there is currently no cure. steroids, nsaids, immunosuppressant drugs, tnf-inhibitors, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs are used to reduce inflammation or slow the disease progression.
- Describes the stem cell institute's experimental treatments for r.a., which involve stem cells. the cells undergo a minimum of 7 days in the lab and are tested for bacterial contamination.
- Explains that r.a. is characterized by chronic inflammation, joint disfigurement, and pain. the current treatment modalities are insufficient and are only directed at treating the short term symptoms.

2979 wordsRead More - The Symptoms of Crohn’s Diseaseexplanatory essayCrohn’s Disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. It is one of two disease under the category “IBD”, or Irritable Bowel Disease, the other being Ulcerative Colitis. Crohn’s is named after Dr. Burrill B. Crohn, who, along with Dr. Leon Ginzburg and Dr. Gordon D. Oppenheimer, described the disease back in 1932. Crohn’s commonly affects the ileum and the beginning of the colon, but it can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus. Crohn’s can affect the entire bowel wall, while it can also “skip” over patches of the diseased intestine, leaving some unaffected parts of the area. In a healthy gastrointestinal tract, there are many harmless bacteria, which aid in digestion. The immune system will attack and kill any foreign invaders. In Crohn’s patients, the normal bacteria are mistaken for invaders, and the immune system responds. Cells will travel out of the blood and to the intestines, in turn producing inflammation, the normal response. The inflammation does not go down, which leads to chronic inflammation, ulceration, and a thickening of the intestinal wall. These lead to the patient’s symptoms.

A majority of the observed complications occurred in the second six months, and the researchers pushed to exclude this data which would indicate that Celebrex could actually cause more stomach problems.
