Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) emerges as a game-changer in the early management of Crohn’s disease, offering a non-invasive method too predict remission. According to a recent study, IUS shows that improvements in IUS parameters within the first year correlate with enhanced patient outcomes, specifically with over a third of patients achieving remission within months. this innovative … Read more
TOPLINE: More than one third of children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) presented with anaemia at diagnosis, with the prevalence of anaemia being higher in those with Crohn’s disease than in those with ulcerative colitis. More than 20% of children remained anaemic after 1 year. METHODOLOGY: Researchers conducted a retrospective observational study using registry data … Read more

TOPLINE: Among patients with active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), those with both clinical and biochemical disease activity and two common mental disorders had a more than sixfold increased risk for adverse outcomes, including flares, glucocorticosterioid use, hospitalisations, and death. METHODOLOGY: Researchers assessed the impact of psychological comorbidity and disease activity on IBD prognosis in a … Read more
BERLIN — Adherence to a healthy plant-based diet is associated with a reduced risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whereas an unhealthy plant-based diet is linked to an increased disease risk and worse outcomes, according to the results of a large cohort study. The study, which included both Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis … Read more
International researchers have uncovered potentially diagnostic gut microbiome signatures and metabolic pathways associated specifically with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). Targeted droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR)‒based quantification of bacterial species led to convenient inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) diagnostic assays that “are sufficiently robust, sensitive and cost-effective for clinical application,” the investigators wrote … Read more
