Article Abstract

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder which involves mainly the gut. It poses a continuous challenge for health care due to the lack of effective medical therapies. Given the situation of this refractory disease, surgery is indicated. However, the optimal moment to perform it stills unknown. Data from 38 patients who underwent elective ileal resection because of Crohn's disease between years 2019 and 2022 were collected. Early postoperative morbimortality, ileostomy rates, postoperative complications rates and postoperative recurrence rates were retrieved.

Purpose: Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by enteric inflammation, often resulting in strictures and penetrating complications, which may alter patient management prior to the initiation of biologic therapy. Our aim is to assess the frequency of missed stricturing and internal penetrating complications in CD patients on computed tomography enterography (CTE) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) performed prior to anti-TNF therapy.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients from two tertiary centers who underwent CTE\MRE within six months before starting anti-TNF therapy.

Advances in diagnosis and therapy for upper gastrointestinal Crohn's disease.

Curr Opin Gastroenterol

August 2025

Yale University, Section of Digestive Diseases, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.

Purpose Of Review: Crohn's disease is a chronic, relapsing and remitting inflammatory process that can involve the entire length of the gastrointestinal tract. Upper gastrointestinal involvement (UGI) in Crohn's disease is present in up to 15% of patients and can present as a diagnostic challenge given nonspecific symptoms and overlapping disease entities. This review provides an update on diagnosing and risk stratifying UGI-CD.

Aim: In patients with failing ileo-anal pouches there is often diagnostic uncertainty. In this setting, we may offer revisional pouch surgery with biologic "coverage" for presumed Crohn's disease (CD) which enables an alternative to pouch excision and end ileostomy to highly motivated patients. The aim of this study is to assess postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent revisional/redo ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) for failing pouches with biologic coverage for possible CD.

Upadacitinib Therapy in Adolescent Severe Alopecia Areata: A Case Series and Narrative Review.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

Department of Dermatology, State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases, Beijing, 100730, People's Rep

Purpose: Alopecia areata (AA) is a common, immune-mediated, non-scarring form of hair loss. Janus kinase inhibitors provide considerable insight into the treatment of severe AA. However, the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib treatment of adolescents and pediatric patients with severe AA is unclear, especially in those without concomitant atopic diseases.

This study aims to assess whether endometriosis causally increases the risk of IBD through Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis and to elucidate potential mechanisms using in vitro experiments. A two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis was conducted using genome-wide association study datasets for endometriosis and IBD, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Causal inference was assessed using inverse variance weighting, MR-Egger, and weighted median methods, with MR-PRESSO used to detect horizontal pleiotropy.
