Abstract Background At present, the significance of histologic remission in Crohn’s disease [CD] is unclear. One main reasons heterogeneous distribution lesions. This contrasts with ulcerative colitis, where scoring systems have been applied success on limited numbers biopsies. We assessed variability activity paired same-segment biopsies from CD patients. Methods All patients undergoing ileoco...
BACKGROUND The presence of measles virus (MV) RNA in bowel tissue from children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances was reported in 1998. Subsequent investigations found no associations between MV exposure and ASD but did not test for the presence of MV RNA in bowel or focus on children with ASD and GI disturbances. Failure to replicate the original study...
INTRODUCTION Microscopic bowel inflammation is present in up to 50% of patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and is associated with more severe disease. Currently no reliable biomarkers exist to identify patients at risk. Calprotectin is a sensitive marker of neutrophilic inflammation, measurable in serum and stool. OBJECTIVES To assess whether serum and faecal calprotectin in addition to C-r...
BACKGROUND Currently there is no guideline for the treatment of patients with Crohn's disease and high perianal fistulas. Most patients receive anti-TNF medication, but no long-term results of this expensive medication have been described, nor has its efficiency been compared to surgical strategies. With this study, we hope to provide treatment consensus for daily clinical practice with reducti...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Faecal microbiota transplantation is a successful therapy for patients with refractory Clostridium difficile infections. It has also been suggested as a treatment option for inflammatory bowel disease, given the role of the intestinal microbiota in this disease. We assessed the impact of faecal microbiota transplantation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and studie...
OBJECTIVE To investigate the diagnostic yield and accuracy of CT enterography (CTE) for early (< 12 postoperative months) surveillance of anastomotic recurrence after bowel resection for Crohn's disease (CD). MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 88 adults (60 males and 28 females; mean age, 31.4 ± 9.6 years) who underwent bowel surgery for CD that created ileocolic anastomosis without enteric st...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Video capsule endoscopy (CE) provides a noninvasive option to assess the small intestine, but its use with respect to endoscopic procedures and cross-sectional imaging varies widely. The aim of this consensus was to provide guidance on the appropriate use of CE in clinical practice. METHODS A systematic literature search identified studies on the use of CE in patients with C...
A 66-year-old woman with diffuse, persistent colicky abdominal pain for the past 2 months with postprandial abdominal distension, weight loss (3kg), asthenia, anorexia, and sporadic vomiting attended the emergency room. Blood investigations revealed hemoglobin 11.6g/dL, platelets 82×109/L, C-reactive protein 135mg/dL, and potassium 3.2mEq/L. Computed tomography (CT) revealed thickening of the i...
BACKGROUND, AIMS According to Porto Criteria upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy is recommended in patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Nevertheless, previous studies revealed frequent involvement of UGI tract even in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of the present study was to determine the diagnostic role of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and assess the...
