Adalimumab and mucosal healing

Common Questions and Answers about Adalimumab and mucosal healing

humira

Avatar m tn Yes, Humira will indirectly help in controlling diarrhea and digestion. Let me explain this. Humira or adalimumab is a biological response modifier and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker. Thus, in Crohn’s it will modify your body’s response to disease (bloating, tenderness, diarrhea, indigestion etc). This is because any immune mediated disease like Crohn’s produces excess of an inflammatory protein called TNF-alpha, which causes cellular damage along with pain and inflammation.
Avatar n tn I have injected humira 2 weeks ago and after 3 days developed a itch and cant sleep. will it subside?
Avatar n tn Hi. I've had a similar problem, without involving the lips, when I've been dehydrated, so there may be a connection to the med, but how much water have you been consuming? The problem may result more from your lack of water intake than a problem with the mucinex. I have many times read that you should divide your weight in pounds by 2, and consume that many ounces of water, in addition to any other liquids that you drink.
Avatar m tn My nose at this time was entirely normal and intact because I only did a couple of lines. I´m just wondering if the mucosal surface is ´porous´ to liquids such as blood or not? Generally speaking, I was under the impression that a mucosal surface absorbs liquids.. such as infected blood.
Avatar m tn He was under treatment and was given Pentasa granules , T PAN (40mg), Tab wysolone and Pentasa Anema. As there was no improvement. Doctor adviced to have Exemptia (Adalimumab) injection. 4 injections (40mg 8ml) was given. Next day he was having stomach pain, tight and rigid stomach, and fast breathing. He was immediately admitted in the nearby hospital and doctor found he was suffering from megacolon (toxic colon).
Avatar f tn my nasal mucous membranes and eyes mucosal be rubbed bleeding directly and repeatedly by paper with fresh blood,is it a risk for me?
Avatar n tn Yesterday my rheumatologist has finally decided to give me something other than anti-inflammatories and anti-depressants for my list of symptoms which he has decided are due to either Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis (Palindromic Rheumatism was mentioned too) or possibly all of the above, with a side order of Fibromyalgia. Just wondering if anyone here has taken Humira (Adalimumab) as I've read about it and am freaking out a bit!
Avatar n tn Hi, Baro-trauma (ruptured ear drum) occurs because of sudden change in the pressure, so in this case you need not worry too much as traumatic perforation heals by itself. Spitting of the blood clots is because of the sub mucosal bleeding in the para nasal sinuses.
Avatar n tn They range from V-Y mucosal advancement flaps, to separation of the upper lip muscles from the lower nose including possible resection of the nasal spine, to fat injections. Healing, of course will depend on the exact procedure performed and could range from only one week to much longer.
Avatar n tn Hi All the material indicates that there are blisters, then sore spots, and then scabs.....is there always scabbing? Do the sores ever just heal over? This may sound like a wierd question, but I have oral and genital lesions at the same time and the genital don't appear to be scabbing over, just healing, where the oral....huge scab... what do you think?
Avatar m tn What the herbs do is repair the mucosal lining of the stomach. Manukka honey and mastic gum and some other herbs, some already mentioned, help to kill the heliobacter that contributes to ulcers. You can also buy cabbage juice in health food stores. Good luck.
Avatar f tn t show anything significant. They advise doing nothing about the rectal mucosal prolapse and just repairing the rectocele. The colorectal surgeon I saw says that my symptoms are coming from both the rectocele and the rectal mucosal prolapse. He feels both need to be repaired and he would do both but would do the repairs through the with a transanal approach. The uro/gyns would use a transvaginal approach to repair the rectocele. My symptoms are all rectal.
Avatar n tn Atrophy of the stomach affects primarily the glands, which become sparse and small. In atrophy of the gastric corpus and fundus, parietal and chief cells disappear from the oxyntic glands, and the residual glands may undergo pseudopyloric metaplasia. Mucosal atrophy can be noted grossly, especially in advanced, diffuse atrophy of oxyntic mucosa in the fundus and corpus where rugae disappear and underlying blood vessels become visible.
Avatar m tn My first posting and a very sincere inquiry. Since the Orasure test detects anti-bodies found in Oral Mucosal Transudate of the cheek and lips, could the result be effected by a recent Bucal Fat removal procedure. In other words, could removal of cheek tissue eliminate a reservoir for anti-bodies therefore reducing concentration in the Transudate/saliva ? Am I misunderstanding where the Transudate originates? I had a truly high-risk possible exposure.
Avatar n tn Mild mucosal thickening at the inferior left maxillary sinus and minimal degree of mucosal thickening of the superomedial left maxillary sinus. There is a tiny focus within the anterior right sphenoid sinus and the posteromedial left frontal sinus. 3. Asymmetric enlargement of the inferior left nasal turbinate. There is a left concha bullosa. There is mild septal deviation towards the right. Where do we go from here to get some relief? She is in college and struggling.
Avatar f tn Also, is there a notion that HIV replication can be restricted to the mucosal surfaces or their drainage lymphoid tissues or the viruses are stayed in the reservoirs of the resting cells so that there is a discrepancy between the immunity of the circulating blood and the mucosal tissues? So, one may have oral thrush with a CD4+ count of 790 because the viruses are replicated restrictedly in the mucosal surface on the tongue? Doctor, would you comment if I am falling in this category.
Avatar n tn After a long night of rough and (at times) dry sex, several hours later I started to get that annoying itch-you-can't-scratch sensation in my vagina. I woke up in the middle of the night and it had turned into a burning sensation; it hurts when I pee and it's generally uncomfortable all the time. It could be UTI, except I don't feel the need to pee every two minutes. There's no discharge, no odor, no nothing--it's just really, really uncomfortable.
Avatar m tn I had memory loss for about two weeks and two weeks later I had a hallucination episode and acted like I was drunk. I had Ct scans both times and they were all good. I also had an EEG and that was normal. I had a MRI last week and got the results today. My husband claims I have brain damage and my mom said I sounded drunk. I know I should not even look into it until my Dr.
Avatar m tn While it is antihistaminics, topical and oral steroids for eczema and antifungal for fungal infection, the treatment of psoriasis that have been approved by FDA are adalimumab and Xtrac Velocity excimer laser system. Apart from that, topical medications like emollients, creams containing coal tar, dithranol, corticosteroids, fluocinonide, vitamin D3 analogues and retinoids have been routinely used. So before using any treatment it is advisable to consult a dermatologist. I hope it helps.
Avatar n tn retention cysts are seen in annular recesses of maxillary sinuses dated mild mucosa thickening is present in sphenoid sinus. Rest of visualized paranasal sinuses are well aerated. No evidence of air-fluid level. Concha bullosa is noted bilaterally. Bilaterial ostiomeatal units are patent. Visualized bilateral orbits appear grossly unremarkable. impressions: Bilateral maxillary mucous retention cysts. Minimal mucosal thickening in sphenoid sinuses.
Avatar n tn The did another defectogram and it is showing a mucosal prolapse and have suggested a mucosal resection. I am leary about another procedure. Others say is is a spasm, and have done pelvic floor therapy without any improvement. Wanted to see anyone who migh have the same situation?
Avatar m tn Now im worried about his succus prostaticus enter my body through the mucosal with HIV, Ps. im not sure did he secrete succus prostaticus and im not sure my mucosal was torned or not. Now im very scared about HIV.
