      <i>Aim/Objective</i>: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. In UC, a wide range of criteria are used for disease remission, with few studies investigating the differences between disease remission and normal control groups. This paper compares known inflammatory and healing mediators in the mucosa of UC in clinical remission and normal controls, in order to better describe ...
    • Real-life evaluation of histologic scores for Ulcerative Colitis in remission

      Background - Histological evaluation of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients has been debated ever since the first description of the disease and its role in follow-up has never been fully established. Recent evidence suggests an added benefit in accuracy when evaluating if the patient is in remission. Unfortunately, there are several different histological indices, and it is difficult to compare outcomes ...
    • When is remission remission? Elucidating the remission state in Ulcerative Colitis: a multimodal exploration 

      Arkteg, Christian Børde (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-10-22)
      Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the colon that has a relapsing-remitting characteristic. The disease management consists of prolonging periods of remission and reducing relapse frequency. There is currently no universally accepted definition of remission in UC. There are different methods of establishing if a patient is in remission, but the lack of definition and ...
