Calprotectin levels in Crohn's perianal fistula scraping are associated with fistula outcomes after surgical closure.
Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland

Calprotectin levels in Crohn's perianal fistula scraping are associated with fistula outcomes after surgical closure.

If confirmed, a simple calprotectin test on fistula scrapings could help predict which Crohn’s patients are likely to heal after primary surgical fistula closure and which may need additional therapies, potentially...

Dual biologic therapy in inflammatory bowel disease, a retrospective cohort study of vedolizumab and anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy in children.
Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition

Dual biologic therapy in inflammatory bowel disease, a retrospective cohort study of vedolizumab and anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy in children.

This study reports that combining an anti-TNF-α drug with vedolizumab helped many children with IBD who failed single-biologic therapy achieve clinical, endoscopic, and histologic improvement. It also notes serious...
