Physical activity in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease: a Danish population-based repeated cross-sectional study.
Scandinavian journal of gastroenterology

Physical activity in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease: a Danish population-based repeated cross-sectional study.

Physical activity is linked to general health and quality of life. If people with IBD—particularly those with more severe CD—are less active, tailored support could help improve wellbeing and manage disease-related...

Aberrant absorptive enterocyte differentiation is associated with altered ion transport and chronic inflammatory diahrea in IBD patients.
Clinical science (London, England : 1979)

Aberrant absorptive enterocyte differentiation is associated with altered ion transport and chronic inflammatory diahrea in IBD patients.

Diarrhea is a common, burdensome symptom in IBD. This study suggests that inflammation-linked defects in enterocyte differentiation and reduced ion transporter expression may help explain persistent diarrhea and that...

Long-term Benefits of Mirikizumab on Patient-Reported Outcomes in Individuals with Crohn's Disease: 2-Year Results from the VIVID-2 Extension Study.
Clinical and translational gastroenterology

Long-term Benefits of Mirikizumab on Patient-Reported Outcomes in Individuals with Crohn's Disease: 2-Year Results from the VIVID-2 Extension Study.

Patients and clinicians considering long-term use of mirikizumab for Crohn's disease may find evidence here that quality of life and common symptoms (fatigue, abdominal pain, stool frequency) can remain improved out to...

Modulation of dysregulated ATG5 and ATG16L1 expression in IBD by Akkermansia muciniphila and its extracellular vesicles (EVs)
Scientific Reports

Modulation of dysregulated ATG5 and ATG16L1 expression in IBD by Akkermansia muciniphila and its extracellular vesicles (EVs)

This study links altered autophagy genes (ATG5, ATG16L1) in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis with modulation by the gut bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila and its extracellular vesicles, suggesting a possible...

Incidence and prevalence of hidradenitis suppurativa across spondyloarthritis-related diseases: cohort study using electronic health records

The study found higher recorded rates of hidradenitis suppurativa in people with Crohn’s disease and psoriatic arthritis, and a smaller increase in ulcerative colitis, suggesting clinicians should consider asking about...

Health-related quality of life after diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease: 3-year trajectories and factors associated with clinically meaningful improvement (the IBSEN III cohort)
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Health-related quality of life after diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease: 3-year trajectories and factors associated with clinically meaningful improvement (the IBSEN III cohort)

This study follows people from diagnosis and shows that about half achieve clinically meaningful improvements in quality of life by 3 years, but many remain below general population norms.

Prior Ustekinumab Exposure and Ulcerative Colitis Are Associated with Suboptimal Trough Levels in Patients Receiving Advanced-Line Vedolizumab or Ustekinumab for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cross-Sectional Cohort Study

Patients on biologic therapy often have drug levels and antidrug antibodies measured to guide care. This study suggests prior biologic history, disease type (UC vs CD) and which biologic is currently used may affect...

Automated Lewis Score Estimation for Small Bowel Crohn Disease Using Capsule Endoscopy: Retrospective Cohort Study.
JMIR medical informatics

Automated Lewis Score Estimation for Small Bowel Crohn Disease Using Capsule Endoscopy: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Automated Lewis score estimation could make capsule endoscopy readings faster and more consistent, which may help track small-bowel Crohn disease activity. This study shows preliminary feasibility but not readiness for...

Myofibroblast Derived Transglutaminase 2 Activity is Upregulated in Stricturing Crohn's Disease and its Inhibition Exerts Anti-Fibrotic Properties.
Gastroenterology

Myofibroblast Derived Transglutaminase 2 Activity is Upregulated in Stricturing Crohn's Disease and its Inhibition Exerts Anti-Fibrotic Properties.

TG2 produced by intestinal myofibroblasts may drive fibrosis and strictures in Crohn's disease independently of inflammation; blocking TG2 reduced fibrosis in lab and mouse models, pointing to a possible new...

Early-life animal exposure was not associated with risk of inflammatory bowel disease: a nationwide birth cohort study.
Clinical gastroenterology and hepatology : the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association

Early-life animal exposure was not associated with risk of inflammatory bowel disease: a nationwide birth cohort study.

This large, long-term study suggests that having pets or farm animals during pregnancy or early childhood probably does not meaningfully change a child’s later risk of developing IBD, which may reassure families...
