Article Abstract

Background: some patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treated with antiTNF develop drug-induced psoriasis (antiTNF-IP). Several therapeutic strategies are possible.

Aims: to assess the management of antiTNF-IP in IBD, and its impact in both diseases.

Methods: patients with antiTNF-IP from ENEIDA registry were included. Therapeutic strategy was classified as continuing the same antiTNF, stopping antiTNF, switch to another antiTNF or swap to a non-antiTNF biologic. IP severity and IBD activity were assessed at baseline and 16, 32 and 54 weeks.

Results: 234 patients were included. At baseline, antiTNF-IP was moderate-severe in 60 % of them, and IBD was in remission in 80 %. Therapeutic strategy was associated to antiTNF-IP severity (p < 0.001). AntiTNF-IP improved at week 54 with all strategies, but continuing with the same antiTNF showed the worst results (p = 0.042). Among patients with IBD in remission, relapse was higher in those who stopped antiTNF (p = 0.025). In multivariate analysis, stopping antiTNF, trunk and palms and soles location were associated with antiTNF-IP remission; female sex and previous surgery in Crohn´s disease with IBD relapse.

Conclusion: skin lesions severity and IBD activity seem to determine antiTNF-IP management. Continuing antiTNF in mild antiTNF-IP, and swap to ustekinumab or switch to another antiTNF in moderate-severe cases, are suitable strategies.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune condition in which pancreatic β-cells are selectively destroyed, predominantly by autoreactive T lymphocytes. Despite decades of research, the achievement of durable immune tolerance remains elusive. This review presents a historically grounded and forward-looking perspective on the evolution of immunotherapy in T1DM, from early immunosuppressive interventions to advanced precision-based cellular approaches.

Anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) medications were historically commonly prescribed as the first-line biologic treatment for chronic inflammatory pouch conditions. However, their use in these conditions is mainly based on retrospective studies of relatively small numbers of patients with short follow up periods. We aimed to describe the long-term outcomes of first-line anti-TNF therapy in a large, multi-centre, multi-national patient cohort with chronic inflammatory pouch conditions.

The emergence of anti-TNF agents has revolutionized the management of inflammatory bowel disease, yet a significant proportion of patients experience primary non-response or secondary loss of response due to immunogenicity. As the field of precision medicine advances, genetic predictors such as human leukocyte antigen (HLA) variants are gaining increasing attention. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of current evidence on the role of HLA genotypes in inflammatory bowel disease susceptibility and disease behavior, with a focus on their mechanistic and clinical relevance in anti-TNF therapy.

[Evolution of biological management during pregnancy: from uncertainty to evidence in rheumatoid arthritis].

Medicina (B Aires)

Instituto de Investigaciones Clínicas Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Over the last decade, the management of biologic therapies during pregnancy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients has significantly evolved, shifting from uncertainty to robust evidence. Initially, in 2006, the use of these treatments was discouraged due to insufficient safety data and potential fetal risks. Notable cases, such as the fatal disseminated BCG infection in a newborn exposed to infliximab, highlighted the importance of neonatal monitoring and led to guidelines restricting live-virus vaccinations until 12 months.

Background: Biologics, particularly anti-TNF agents, have transformed the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but concerns about their perioperative safety persist.

Objective: This study evaluates the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of surgeons in Saudi Arabia regarding the preoperative management of IBD patients undergoing surgery while on biological treatments.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 115 surgeons.
