David Rumsey Historical Map Collection The new MapRank search tool enables geographical searching of the collection by map location and coverage, in a Google Map window. Pan and zoom the Google Map to the area of the world you want maps of, and the results will automatically appear as a scrollable list of maps with thumbnail images in the right side window. The maps in the right side list are ranked by coverage, with the maps that have coverage closest to your search window listed at the top. Mousing over any map in the list will show the map's coverage as a light red rectangle on top of the Google Map. Clicking on a map in the list will open it in the Luna Browser.

Recipe for IBD: can we use food to control inflammatory bowel disease? IBD is a group of chronic disorders characterized by relapsing inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The most common entities are Crohn’s Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). While CD is characterized by a segmental transmural inflammation and granulomatous lesions of the whole GI tract, inflammation in UC is mostly restricted to the colon and the rectum. Both incidence and prevalence of IBD are currently increasing worldwide [1]. Although the etiology of IBD has not yet been fully elucidated, more than a hundred genetic risk loci have been identified so far.

Viruses in the gut connected to inflammatory bowel disease — The American Microbiome Institute A new study has shown that the composition of viruses in the gut may play an important role in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you’ve seen us write about something called the virome. The virome is the collection of viruses in the body and similarly to the microbiome, it may have profound affects on human health. This study led by scientists at Washington University in St. Louis and published in Cell is the first to correlate a disease with changes in a person’s virome. IBD, specifically Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (UC), are diseases that have been characterized by decreased bacterial diversity in the gut.

Gut microbiota studies lead to new understandings of IBD In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a set of conditions that includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (UC), parts of the digestive tract become chronically inflamed. ‘Debilitating’ doesn’t begin to describe IBD at its most intense: during a disease flare, someone who normally leads a busy and active life may have to put everything on hold to stay at home, close to the bathroom, battling pain and nausea. Genes are only one part of how IBD arises.
