Beyond Inflammation: Sarcopenia and Disease Phenotype Predict Unfavourable Course in Crohn’s Disease—A Retrospective Observational Study

Sarcopenia (low muscle mass) was linked with worse outcomes in Crohn’s disease and, combined with fecal calprotectin and disease behaviour, formed a score that better predicted unfavourable courses. Identifying at-risk...

Model‐informed dose optimization of etrasimod in ulcerative colitis across CYP2C9 genotypes and hepatic impairment
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology

Model‐informed dose optimization of etrasimod in ulcerative colitis across CYP2C9 genotypes and hepatic impairment

People with ulcerative colitis taking etrasimod may have higher drug levels if they have certain CYP2C9 genotypes or significant liver impairment; dose adjustments could be needed to avoid increased exposure.

Tacrolimus Bridging and Combination Therapy Following Infliximab and JAK Inhibitor Failure in Ulcerative Colitis: A Case Series.
JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology

Tacrolimus Bridging and Combination Therapy Following Infliximab and JAK Inhibitor Failure in Ulcerative Colitis: A Case Series.

Patients with UC who fail both anti-TNF and JAK inhibitor therapies have limited options. This report suggests tacrolimus can be used as a short-term bridge or in combination to reach another maintenance drug, with many...

Colorectal Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Sub-Saharan Africa: Diagnostic Challenges and Systemic Care Constraints.
The American surgeon

Colorectal Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Sub-Saharan Africa: Diagnostic Challenges and Systemic Care Constraints.

The review highlights that colorectal IBD is under-recognized and often mistaken for infectious colitis in sub‑Saharan Africa due to limited diagnostic and specialist resources, which can delay appropriate care.

Country-year agreement between GBD 2023 ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease rates and GIVES population-based observations: an ecological agreement study

Compares widely used modelled GBD rates with population-based observations and finds they are not interchangeable for country-year estimates—important for research, surveillance, and policy that rely on these numbers.

C-Reactive Protein-to-Albumin Ratio in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Associations with Disease Activity and Comparison with C-Reactive Protein Alone

This paper evaluates CAR, a simple blood‑based biomarker, in children with IBD and finds it reflects disease severity and changes over time in pediatric Crohn’s disease. That matters because reliable, easy-to-measure...
