Nonceliac wheat sensitivity in the context of multiple food hypersensitivity: new data from confocal endomicroscopy.
2015
Dear Editor, We enjoyed reading the article by Fritscher-Ravens et al who showed, by confocal endomicroscopy, that candidate food antigens caused immediate duodenal mucosa damage in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients with a prolonged clinical history of symptoms after meals. Their in vivo data add evidence to the relationship between IBS and food allergy and seem to reinforce our hypothesis that a percentage of “nonceliac wheat sensitive” (NCWS) -patients with an IBS-like clinical presentation could suffer from non-immunoglobulin E-mediated wheat allergy. However, we would suggest that the very high percentage of positive confocal laser endomicroscopy patients (CLE) -22 out of 36- foun…
Molecular endoscopic imaging: the future is bright
2019
The prediction and final survival rate of gastrointestinal cancers are dependent on the stage of disease. The ideal would be to detect those gastrointestinal lesions at early stage or even premalignant forms which are difficult to detect by conventional endoscopy with white light optical imaging as they show minimum or no changes in morphological characteristics and are thus left untreated. The introduction of molecular imaging has greatly changed the pattern for detecting gastrointestinal lesions from purely macroscopic structural imaging to the molecular level. It allows microscopic examination of the gastrointestinal mucosa with endoscopy after the topical or systemic application of mol…
