The Pаthоlоgy оf Chron’s Diseаse Introduction Chron’s diseаse, also known as ileitis, is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Chron’s disease (CD) is “characterized by a relapsing-remitting clinical behavior and dominated by intestinal inflammation” (D'Incà & Caccaro, 2014). Although it can differ from patient to patient, the typical areas of the body affected include, “the gastrointestinal tract, [and] most commonly the distal ileum and/or colon” (DynaMed, 2018). It is noted by the Mayo Clinic that inflammation from CD spreads deep into the layers of affected bowel tissue (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2018). Chron’s disease is a debilitating disease with no cure, but can be treated and subdued with the help of a medical professional. Risk Factors and Causes A specific cause for Chron’s disease has yet to be discovered, but certain factors are suspected of leading to and/or causing the disease in patients. It is likely that “a number of factors, such as heredity and a malfunctioning immune system” (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2018) can cause Chron’s disease. As with many other diseases, it is likely that genes play a role in Chron’s disease because it is more common in people with a family history. The immune system is also linked to Chron’s disease because a bacteria or a virus has the potential to initiate the disease. Other risk factors can include; age, ethnicity, cigarette smoking, environmental factors, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2018). Both men and women at any age can develop CD, but age is a risk factor for CD because, “incidence is highest between age 10 and 30 years” (DynaMed, 2018). It’s important to monitor and be aware of risk factors linked to Chron’s disease, particularly a family history. Symptoms The symptoms associated with Chron’s disease can differ from patient to patient. Symptoms can range in severity and the time in which they take to develop. Symptoms of CD “usually develop gradually, but sometimes will come on suddenly, without warning…[the patient] may also have periods of time with no signs or symptoms” (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2018). When the patient is not experiencing remission, signs and symptoms can include; fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain, mouth sores, blood in stool, weight loss, etc. (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2018). Chron’s disease has very comparable symptoms to ulcerative colitis, also an bowel disease, but separate areas of the GI tract are affected. It’s important to pay attention to signs and symptoms of CD because it can only be properly diagnosed by a doctor through testing. Treatment Once a patient notices signs and symptoms of Chron’s disease or tracks a significant change in bowel habits several treatment options are available. However, despite treatment options there is no known cure for this disease at the time. Steroids or immunosuppressive medications can be prescribed to some patients to slow the rate at which the CD progresses. In some more severe cases the best option for a patient may be bowel restriction surgery. For all Chron’s disease patients, “ileocolonoscopy is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis and assessment of disease activity and extent” (D'Incà & Caccaro, 2014). However, ileocolonoscopy “has some limitations: it is invasive, poorly accepted by patients, and it can only examine the mucosa, not the deeper layers of the intestinal wall, and it misses any extra-intestinal complications of the disease” (D'Incà & Caccaro, 2014). Chron’s disease is a chronic, debilitating, and painful disease. These treatment types can help relieve the patients of discomfort and pain associated with CD. Complications As with many other diseases, Chron’s disease has the potential to lead to a number of complications. Chron’s disease can cause bowel obstructions, ulcers, fistulas, malnutrition, anal fissures, etc. (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2018). One of the biggest complication concerns associated with CD is colon cancer. Having Chron’s disease increases a persons likelihood of developing colon cancer. Generally, “colon cancer screening guidelines for people without Crohn's disease call for a colonoscopy every 10 years beginning at age 50” (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2018) , however, CD patients are likely to need sooner and more frequent testing. Similar to CD symptoms, it is important to monitor the development of complications associated with CD and notify your doctor of any changes. References D'Incà, R., & Caccaro, R. (2014).

In the crоss BB x bb, the percentаge оf hоmozygous recessive would be:
If а mоm hаs blооd type AB аnd dad has a blood type O, what are the chances their child would have blood type AB?
Hemоphiliа is sex-linked recessive. If а dаd has hemоphilia and the mоm does not (nor has history of it in her family), what are the chances their first son would be a carrier of hemophilia but not have it?
