Article Abstract

For children with intestinal failure secondary to short bowel syndrome, weaning parenteral nutrition and advancing towards enteral autonomy is a complex process that may take many years. Multiple factors impact feeding advancement in this population including oral feeding difficulties, feeding intolerances, and malabsorption. Oral and enteral feedings are vital in promoting intestinal adaptation and should be initiated as soon as medically appropriate. Oral feedings are also necessary to lessen the risk of developing food aversion. In this review, appropriate diet and feeding modalities for pediatric intestinal failure are discussed as well as complications that may impact feeding progression. The primary aim is to summarize current strategies to advance enteral and, particularly, oral nutrition, and make this information applicable for caregiver education.

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.

Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, the First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University, Guangzhou, 510632, People's Republic of China.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of baricitinib in combination therapy for managing refractory, rapidly progressive systemic sclerosis (SSc) with severe cardiac conduction defects and interstitial lung disease (ILD).

Methods: A 48-year-old male patient with SSc complicated by significant cardiac enlargement, third-degree atrioventricular block, heart failure, progressive ILD, and partial intestinal obstruction was included in the study. Prior treatments with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), tacrolimus, and cyclophosphamide (CTX) had shown limited efficacy.
