Kefir and Kombucha for Rheumatic Disease: A Systematic Review
- Authors: Aaron Lerner; Jozélio Freire de Carvalho, Maria Fernanda Leal dos Santos Ribeiro, Carina Benzvi
  Pages: 1 - 3
  Abstract: Nutritional complementary therapy is increasingly reported as modulating rheumatic diseases' activities. Kefir-fermented milk products and kombucha tea have numerous beneficial effects on various human chronic conditions. The aims of the present systematic review are to screen the available literature for well-designed studies that evaluated kefir and kombucha in rheumatic patients. A thorough literature search in Pubmed, Scielo, and LILACS was conducted in accordance with PRISMA criteria, from January 1965 to April 2023. Only one study, using kefir supplementation in osteoporotic patients, fulfilled the screening criteria. Since many advantageous effects are attributed to the two additives, we hope that the present review will encourage further well-designed evaluations in rheumatic and other human chronic diseases.

Dietary Challenges in Adults with Celiac Disease in Saudi Arabia
- Authors: Sehad N. Alarifi; Maha H. Alhussain
  Pages: 4 - 8
  Abstract: Gluten free diet is the only proven treatment for celiac disease. This study aims to investigate the dietary challenges of adults with celiac disease. A web-based survey was completed by adult patients diagnosed with CD across Saudi Arabia. The survey included questions exploring demographics, the challenges in their diet as well as questions about their behaviour of eating out. Most of the participants were females and more than half are living in Riyadh. Furthermore, 65.7% were diagnosed by bowel biopsy and 72.3% were diagnosed for more than 1 year, 95.8% are following a gluten-free diet but 51.8% are not under a nutritional program 57.1% are not following up with a dietitian. Furthermore, 96.4% of participants considered restaurants are problems in providing gluten-free food and 86.1% are avoiding restaurants. This study concluded that adults with celiac disease are following GFD without follow -up with health care providers (HCPs), this can lead to increase many complications of this disease. Moreover, increasing the awareness about CD and GFD is important among patients, HCPs and society including, families and friends and people dealing with food business.

  Pages: 9 - 18
  Abstract: Introduction: The study was conducted at Ibn Sena Hospital during the period from October 2020 to February 2021. The study included 84 patients with celiac disease (CD), of which 28 (33.3%) were males and 56 (66.7%) were females. The average age among the study participants was 30.2±10.3 years. average BMI was 23.8± 3.8. Methodology: This study is a descriptive and analytical, cross sectional, hospital-based study, that went from October 2020 to February 2021 at Ibn Sena hospital. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data about demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings of patients. Then, the data was analyzed using SPSS version 25. Results: The most common GI symptoms were weight loss, diarrhea/steatorrhea, and bloating (61.9%, 58.3%, and 44%, respectively). On the other hand, the most common extraintestinal symptoms are bone and joint pain (58.3%), shortness of breath (52.4%), and anxiety (41.7%). Anemia was present in 86.9% and Calcium levels were low in 98.8% of patients. Depression was prevalent among 28.6% of CD patients. There was significant difference between genders and depression and anemia (P=0.04, P

Adenocarcinoma in the Small Intestine in Celiac Disease over more than
30-years
- Authors: Hugh J. Freeman
  Pages: 19 - 22
  Abstract: A variety of malignancies may complicate the clinical course of adult celiac disease. In a cohort of 154 patients with celiac disease (55 males, 99 females, aged over 30 years) also defined by a single case of cecal cancer, 4 males were observed to have small bowel adenocarcinoma in the duodenum or jejunum during a period of more than 30 years. This far exceeded the cumulative rate for this cancer in the background population (8.6 males per 100,000 over 10 years) indicating that patients with celiac disease, even after treatment with a gluten-free diet, remain at risk for development of small intestinal adenocarcinoma.

Gluten Exposure Can Trigger a Silent Autoimmune Disorder in Celiac
Disease: Five Case Reports
- Authors: Farahnaz Safaei; Amir Sadeghi, Pardis Ketabi Moghadam, Peyman Taheri, Mehran Taheri
  Pages: 23 - 27
  Abstract: People with celiac disease are at increased risk of developing other autoimmune disorders. Leaving the gluten-free diet not only causes the recurrence of celiac disease, but also increases the incidence of other autoimmune disorders. Here, we present 5 cases suffering from other autoimmune diseases in addition to background celiac disease. Careful and continuous monitoring of these patients can greatly prevent the occurrence of other autoimmune disorders.

Relapsing Polychondritis in a Child with Autism: Rare within Rare 1st Case
Described
- Authors: Aaron Lerner; Jozélio Freire de Carvalho, Thiago Ferreira da Silva, Carina Benzvi, Maria Fernanda Leal dos Santos Ribeiro, Moti Haimi
  Pages: 28 - 31
  Abstract: A relationship between autism and autoimmunity is well known and various autoimmune diseases were associated with the autistic spectrum. Relapsing polychondritis is a rare autoimmune disease manifested mainly in adults. Following is the first case presentation of a girl presented with relapsing polychondritis who was on the autistic spectrum. Several mechanisms can be envisioned to connect those two diseases.

Whipple’s Disease and Its Intestinal Mucosal Mimics
- Authors: Hugh James Freeman; James Gray
  Pages: 32 - 35
  Abstract: Recently, a male patient, presented to multiple medical specialties that eventually led to development of diarrhea and weight loss followed by eventual review by a gastroenterologist and a specific diagnosis of Whipple’s disease, a systemic disorder first described more than a century ago, but only recently recognized to be caused by Tropheryma whipplei. In this report, an updated review of this apparently very rare clinical disorder was done, including studies permitting a specific diagnosis of this disorder along with exclusion of other intestinal mucosal disorders that may potentially mimic Whipple’s disease.

Celivir: A Viral Therapy for the Autoimmune Celiac Disease
- Authors: Jose Crespo-Barrios
  Pages: 36 - 37
  Abstract: With an average of 1/200 affected people around the world, celiac disease still lacks a cure. Here a concept of a viral therapy with certain design degrees of freedom is suggested to the scientific community with the hope that a well experienced and equipped research team is able to endeavour such project. Also, safety concerns of the viral therapy about escape mutations and trophism are covered. These ideas can be extended to any autoimmune disease with an etiological alteration of the memory T-cells, paving the way to safer alternatives to the immunological reboot.
