UC affects the colon and rectum, while Crohn's (CD) affect the whole gastrointestinal tract (GIT).Highest incidence of UC was in Northeast England, Norway,Minnesota,Scotland,Faroses,Iceland and Denmark.Thewestern diet lifestyle increases the incidence of UC.Risk factors in UC include,age,smoking, diet, breastfeeding, oral contraceptives, accutane use, sulfate producing bacteria, genetic factors, autoimmune disease, and psychological factors. Bacterial and parasitic infections can produce clinical findings as idiopathic UC.Macrophages and other accessory cells are an important component of the immune response in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Frequent clinical symptoms of UC is diarrhea which is usually associated with mucus and blood in stool.UC is associated with a general inflammation process that affects many parts of the body. Extra intestinal symptoms are the earlier sign...

The skin clinic is a tertiary referral center for dermatological diseases in Sabah, and sees more than 7,000 cases of various skin complaints annually. The study analyses data collated from the skin clinic's medical records as well as fungus culture results from the microbiology diagnostic unit. A total of 7325 subjects were screened for superficial mycoses. Of the 7,325 subjects sampled randomly, 180 (2.5 %) had lesions suggestive of superficial mycoses. In a total of 190 samples collected, [58.42%] yielded significant growth by culture. The distribution of superficial mycoses is dependent on age,sex and ethnicity. The most common isolate was Tinea corporis [30,63%], followed by Tinea cruris [23.62%], Tinea pedis [16.21%], T.unguium [20.72%],in onychomycoses, and T.capitis [6.30%] and others. A predominance of dermatomatophytoses in the 50 years and above age group was observed. In Sabah State the relative humidity fluctuates between 60 % and 70 % for most part of the year and the area receives heavy rain falls. Thus, the environmental conditions are conducive for development of superficial mycoses.

HE varies in clinical presentation, in pathogenesis and treatment. HE is caused by the accumulation in the bloodstream of toxic substances that are normally removed by the liver.Clinical manifestations of HE include a wide spectrum of neuropsychiatric and neurological symptoms, disorientation and poor coordination. Acute HE is associated with severe liver failure in patients with fulminant hepatic failure. In chronic HE have neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized with depression of the central nervous system, with varying degrees of severity. HE is traditionally graded into four clinical stages. The synergistic effects of excess ammonia and inflammation cause astrocyte swelling and cerebral edema. Diagnosis of HE include neuropsychometric tests, brain imaging and clinical scales, the West Haven Criteria. Treatment is based on reducing the production and absorption of ammonia, with anti-microbial ...
