Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is a powerful tool for evaluation and management of patients with Crohn disease. Changes of active inflammation of the small bowel can reliably and reproducibly be detected and monitored. Findings indicative of active inflammation include bowel wall thickening, intramural edema and mural hyperenhancement. These changes are most commonly reported qualitatively; however, quantitative indices have also been developed and validated to measure and monitor inflammation both for clinical care and research purposes. This article describes the essential findings of active inflammation on MRE as well as the fundamentals of both qualitative and quantitative assessment and reporting.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L) is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including punicalagin, ellagic acid, anthocyanins, and urolithins, which contribute to its broad pharmacological potential. This review summarizes evidence from in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as clinical studies, highlighting pomegranate's therapeutic effects in inflammation, metabolic disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, microbial infections, and skin conditions. Mechanistic insights show modulation of pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).

Importance: Sepsis remains a leading cause of death in infectious cases. The heterogeneity of immune responses is a major challenge in the management and prognostication of patients with sepsis. Identifying distinct immune response subphenotypes using parsimonious classifiers may improve outcome prediction, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Sickness-induced sleep is a behavior conserved across species that promotes recovery from illness, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that interleukin-6-like cytokine signaling from the gut to brain glial cells regulates sleep. Under healthy conditions, this pathway promotes wakefulness.

Background: Chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve induces neuropathic pain, inflammation, oxidative stress, and neurodegenerative changes, impairing sensory and emotional function. While curcumin is well recognized for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, its therapeutic use is limited by poor bioavailability. Curcumin liposomal nanoparticles (CLNs) offer improved delivery and stability.

IL-17A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). Previous studies have suggested that PARP-1 inhibitors can modulate IL-17A-mediated inflammation, prompting the investigation of Niraparib, an FDA-approved PARP-1 inhibitor, as a potential therapeutic agent for MS. In this study, we hypothesized that Niraparib could disrupt the interaction between IL-17A and its receptor, IL-17RA.
