Article Abstract

Despite the institution of an interdisciplinary Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) centre is encouraged, how it may improve patient care is still unknown. In a 5-year period following organisation of an IBD centre, hospitalisations per patient/year decreased (0.41-0.17) and patients on biologics increased (7.7%-26.7%). Total number of hospitalisations (-18.4%) and length of hospitalisation (-29.4%) improved compared with a preceding 5-year period. These findings suggest that institution of an interdisciplinary IBD centre is associated with improved healthcare utilisation.

Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is hampered by issues of nonresponse and resistance, highlighting the urgent need for alternative or complementary treatments. Our study revealed significant upregulation of taurine in the intestinal tissues of IBD patients, which was inversely related to the severity of the disease. A key discovery was that TNF directly induced taurine synthesis in intestinal epithelial cells and increased the production of angiogenin, a nuclease that degrades mitochondrial RNA, which is known to amplify inflammatory responses.

Background And Aims: The development of antibodies to infliximab (ATI) is a major challenge in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This real-world study aimed to identify predictors of ATI, evaluate strategies to overcome ATI, and compare the durability of continuing infliximab (IFX) versus switching to adalimumab (ADA) after ATI development.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 194 pediatric IBD patients treated with IFX from 2010 to 2024.

Autoimmune diseases (AIDs), defined by irregularities in immune system function, pose a substantial health challenge worldwide, impacting millions with persistent and frequently debilitating conditions. Conventional treatments, such as glucocorticoid-based immunosuppressive therapies, are associated with notable drawbacks and limitations. In response to these difficulties, recent scientific efforts have increasingly focused on natural compounds as potential therapeutic agents.

Background And Aims: We aimed to ascertain the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and to assess the prognostic value as a biomarker for disease outcome.

Methods: We collected data from 224 patients (148 male, 76 female; mean age 41 years) from January 2002 to December 2021, with a confirmed diagnosis of PSC who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Muscle mass was quantified at the level of the third lumbar vertebra by measurement of psoas muscle thickness (PMT) and total psoas muscle area (PMA).
