Did you know?
- The Russian term целиакия traces its roots directly back to the Ancient Greek word κοιλῐᾰκός, which refers to the belly or abdomen.
- In a Russian medical context, doctors might also refer to the condition's effect on the 'villi' of the intestine, using the word ворсинки, which sounds much more descriptive than the abstract Greek-rooted 'celiac'.
- Russian medical terminology often uses the same Latin-based root целиакия for both the disease and the condition of the patient.
Examples in context
- Врач поставил диагноз – целиакия.The doctor diagnosed celiac disease.
- Целиакия требует строгой диеты.Tseliakiya trebuyet strogoy diyety.Celiac disease requires a strict diet.
