Thank you for your explanation! My daughter suffers from newly diagnosed UC, however there was a time just recently they thought she may have Crohns. I appreciate this video, to help me understand the difference. I will pass this video on to her, so she will have a better understanding as well....Thank you

Thanks for taking the time to make the videos.

i love these lectures. it helps me out so much and it is explained so well! ty!!!!

As a patient with ulcerative colitis, I've learned everything you said in this video through my experience with this disease. It really such a fascinating, but terrible disease. I try to use my experience to help others who are also suffering, and I've been starting to post videos about topics pertaining to IBD in general. Thanks for making this video for people who aren't aware of what it is!

Thank you for this! This is extremely helpful and to the point. Thanks!

Thanks a lot Anderw Wolf for comprehensive video,you really make me clear but please talk more about investigation and treatment .

I like your videos soooo much!!. they help me a lot in my studies.. the way you explain and demonstrate are very good and understandable.. thank you very much for sharing..

Thanks, as someone with Crohn's, this is helpful to educate friends etc.

Thank you so much. I'm an auditory learner and this helped me immensely :)

you are my best Dr.Andrew

Professor Wolf, you are the best!

Thank you so much for your explanation! Very informative and helpful!

Cleared many things right up for me. Thanks!

Thank you very much for all the lectures. I am taking pathophysiology now and I have to say that I would struggle a lot more if I didn't watch your videos:)) So thank you so much and i hope that you will have all of the videos that I need:)

Thank you! Excellent explanation. Much appreciated!

thank you for putting this up here. I have CD and i am now 21 the Dr.s thought i had it since i was 15 but didn't find out til i was 18 and still in high school

currently a RN Student. good video. explained it very well and made it simple.

There is much now being written about it thankfully!I wouldn't be able to cut and paste a whole paper here! With the paper that is currently being done at the University of Tasmania, it will be made even more obvious. "Cortisol levels held for prolonged periods of time cause: Lowered immunity & inflammatory responses in the body, slowed wound healing, and other health consequences" It's the increase of the white blood cells that do the damage. Just my understanding & I don't have Crohns anymore.

Thanks, I'm doing an oral presentation on IBD next week in my A&P class.

Thank you for that informative description

Great video, helps with the basics of IBD.

As a med student... thank you so much

great help for 2moro's exam...Thank you

simply explained and very helpful!! I'd like to know the references of some the studies you mentioned.

I would have liked more details on signs and symptoms. Crohns has less diarrhea than UC. Also, Crohn's has the "ribbon" sign from the strictures that you discussed. Your video helped me to understand the symptoms more and put it all together. Thank you.

Very helpful thank you!!!

Excellent calm explanation of the facts. Please do explain how is that Ulcerative Colitis causes weight loss (apart from food avoidance and some blood loss)?

it was crystal clear... would be glad if u tell some radiological features too....

THANK YOU - most helpful!!!!

Thank you. Very helpfull.

thank you! very helpful

very clear explanation. super useful. thank you :)

Thank you!!!! I believe mine (UC) was because some antibiotics...very painful and annoying illness...

very good & informative.

Thank you! Great lesson, although I would like to have known the names of the different layers in the bowel.

Relative to your liver videos I understood about the cholangiocyte cilia purpose (and failure) but what causes bile duct strictures as in primary sclerosing cholangitis? It would be nice to extend the IBD session to include related diseases such as UC and PSC. I realy enjoy your series.

thank you!

Great video! !! Med Surg exam Monday 7am

thnak you very much

Thanks for the info! But I do have a question. I'm currently 46, when I was 20 I was first diagnosed with Crohn's, but then within weeks, it was switched to UC. When I was 21, my colon perforated, I was clinically dead from the toxic megacolon, but thankfully was revived. I endured several surgeries, first being a total colectomy with a temp loop ileostomy, then a three step J pouch. For many, many years I was ok, but began developing serious pouchitis around the age of 35. It just worse and worse, and despite having tried almost every drug therapy available, it only grew worse, so I decided that surgery was really my only option left. I opted for a K pouch, so in June 2012, Dr Zane Cohen here in Toronto removed the j pouch, my rectum, and some small bowel, and gave me a new K pouch. Since then, due to several complications, I went from a K pouch, to an end ileostomy, and back to a k pouch. But now, my original symptoms are back, could it be Crohn's after all? Have only 7' of SB left!

EXCELLENT! Great Cchannel

Useful video, thank you. It would have been particularly helpful if you had also explicitly stated the exact histological features used to distinguish between the two, as this is the current gold standard diagnostic method.

Thanks

perfect!

READ i.m 51 in good health. Had 5 foot of bowel removed at age 28. Have not been to Doc since.I just had 100% block an while at hospital they put me on prednisone. IT helped but broke an contaminated my blood,gave me a Stroke.

i had a hard time understanding it frm davidson....thanks to u.....now i have an idea abt the topic... :-)

Once again a very helpful explanation I'm in nursing school and I Thank goodness for your videos! SUBSCRIBE*

Hi andrew great video.. pity you don't involve treatment of the diseases you're showing.. in our case it is steroids, NSAIDs both for long periods. and if symptoms are not refractive we make a total / partial bowel removal (colectomy). another thing you failed to mention is that that these diseases are usually on/off with attacks and relapses. thank you for taking the time and making this video ! great job

wonderful work you helped me who does not thank people does not thank Allah so thank you very much go on may Allah bless you

What is the connection between IBD and chronic joint pain? Or is there a connection? I have UC and when it is acting up I always have joint pain.

May Allah bless you! Your lectures are very helpful and i hope more people will benefit from it. Thank you. :)

Similar to taking antibiotics leading to flora disruption and greater likelihood of developing Crohn's, is it plausible that a bout of listeriosis could do the same?

can you provide information about EKG interpretation? It would be great!

Can it cause skin darkness like from fair complexion to dusky complexion?

Thanks :)

Shout out from Russia! Very short and useful video. TY a lot!

Interesting

Hi Andrew, I was wondering do you remember the title of the research you read that stated people on anti-biotics over 12 months have a higher disposition to developing these disease's?

Very illustrative and made easy.,any comment on" indeterminate IBD" -is it a diagnosable entity.?

I have a question about a stool calprotectin. My daughter (10 yrs) had this test and her level came back 1,266!! After this test came back they called and moved up her other scope test. I'm worried now! I can tell you, I myself have Lupus and antiphospholipids. Does the calprotectin test only deal with IBD, or could her high numbers be due to lupus or something autoimmune? Can you tell me is this a very high level? Or do a lot of people test this high. Thanks for any information on this!!

Great video, I have UC and my arthralgia in my knees is terrible...any insight to why IBD is correlated with arthralgia and maybe how to palliate?

what about over use of ibuprofen or antibiotics?

My dr. Thinks i have crohns. I wake up in the middle of night drenched in sweat..could that be part of the crohns?

I have IBD, multiple food allergies and extreme sensitivity to cold weather. Can these 3 be related?

what are the treatments?

I have not found any researches as you say saying that Cortisol cause inflammation and have found on the other hand many who do show its role in for example suppressing the expression of inflammatory receptors on cells so Kit.. please share the researches you talk about

nice

I have doubt that I think you can clarify. My professor told me that Crohns Disease affect from the mouth to the anus but not affecting the rectus. Is this all right? Cause nowhere I've read, I've been able to find such a statement. All books say from mouth to anus. I'll appreciate your feed back. Thank you.

wat abt cobblestone appearances? Toxic Megacolon missing..

I had this disease for two years. And I found out that vitamin D deficincy is the cause. Believe it or no. After putting the vitamin D level up to 90 every thing settled and all symptoms gone. 

@Andrew Wolf

I do think that their is genetic causes, because just after I was diagnosed my cousin was. But that would mean my identical twin would have it probably though...

Are you medical practitioner or specialist in this area?! I'm an ex-Crohn's disease sufferer of 40 years and for the past 13 years I have been self-studying neuroscience and cell biology in order to help other sufferers drop this 'disease'. Crohn's, UC, colitis, ileitis are all just names. They are used to describe location of inflammation. As you said in the beginning, there is little known as to the causes. You've missed out the big one. Cortisol. Fight or Flight hormone. Causes inflammation.

Fever?

Have you studied any anatomy before?

I get you have your opinion, but Cortisol does cause inflammation. Not my research, research done by others and in published papers. But it looks like you're a fan of pharma-culture, so that's how you will think.

Very informative but a bit slow paced 7/10

You forgot to mention that UC has a higher risk of Cancer... But how?

"all sort of collitus"

Do you want to be healed? Call out to JESUS 🙏 . He has healed me! He will heal you too!

It most certainly does not...

Same stupid lecture
