Article Abstract
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) prevents recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections (rCDI) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Bezlotoxumab is also indicated to prevent rCDI. We assess the impact of FMT in combination with bezlotoxumab in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and rCDI. We conducted a multicenter randomized placebo-controlled trial. All received a single colonoscopic FMT. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive bezlotoxumab or placebo. Sixty-one patients were enrolled (30 received treatment and 31 received placebo). Overall, 5 participants (8%) experienced a CDI recurrence; 4 in the treatment arm, 1 in the placebo arm (13% vs 3%, P = 0.15). There was no clear benefit to the combination approach compared with FMT alone.

Combining two advanced therapies may improve outcomes in Crohn's disease (CD) refractory to monotherapy. We conducted a descriptive case series of 27 patients with CD who initiated combination therapy with upadacitinib and infliximab (n = 1), risankizumab (n = 17), ustekinumab (n = 3) or vedolizumab (n = 6). At 12 weeks, 24 achieved clinical response and 9 achieved steroid-free remission.

Introduction: Targeted infection imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis in postpartum women. This project uses 99mTc-labeled cefixime to develop a radiopharmaceutical for detecting, distinguishing, and treating infections and abscesses in women.
Method: Technetium (TcO4-) chelated with cefixime, reduced by stannous chloride, confirmed via thin-layer chromatography.

The lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract is affected by a range of diseases, including colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, among others. Effective treatment of these conditions requires drug delivery systems (DDSs) capable of precise targeting. While pH- and enzyme-sensitive DDSs are the most used, they often suffer from premature drug release and target specificity, limiting their efficacy.

Introduction: The effect of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on adverse in-hospital outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP) for nonmetastatic prostate cancer (PCa) is not well known.
Materials And Methods: Descriptive analyses, propensity score matching and multivariable logistic regression models were used within the National Inpatient Sample (2000-2019) RP patients, after stratification according to Crohn's disease (CD) vs. ulcerative colitis (UC) vs.
