Anti-TNF, Pan-JAK, and JAK1-Selective Inhibition Differentially Alter Mechanisms of Flow-Mediated Dilation in Human Microvessels.
American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology

Anti-TNF, Pan-JAK, and JAK1-Selective Inhibition Differentially Alter Mechanisms of Flow-Mediated Dilation in Human Microvessels.

People with IBD already face higher cardiovascular risk; drugs used to treat IBD (anti-TNF and JAK inhibitors) may differently affect small-vessel endothelial function, a possible contributor to heart and vascular...

Disparities in child height at the time of inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis.
Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition

Disparities in child height at the time of inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis.

Shorter height at IBD diagnosis was more common in Hispanic/Latino children and those without private insurance, which may reflect inequities in timely diagnosis and access to nutrition and care—issues that can affect...

Time‐dependent histopathological remodelling of the appendix in patients with ulcerative colitis

The appendix in conventional UC appears to be inflamed early and then remodels to fibrous obliteration over decades, which could influence thinking about timing or rationale for appendectomy-based interventions.

Management of Ulcerative Colitis after Mesalamine-Induced Myocarditis: Successful Treatment with Upadacitinib - A Case Report.

Mesalamine can rarely cause myocarditis, creating a challenge for ongoing UC treatment. This report shows upadacitinib was used successfully as an alternative when biologics were considered higher cardiac risk and...

Agricultural chemicals and gut microbiota dysbiosis: implications for the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.

Environmental exposures from agricultural chemicals may affect the gut microbiome and intestinal inflammation, which could be one factor influencing IBD risk or flares. Understanding these links could point to preventive...

Natural History of Concomitant Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases: Psoriatic Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Regarding Disease Course and Healthcare Utilization – A JANL-HIP Study

People with PsD or IBD — or both — may develop the other condition years later, and the order of diagnoses appears linked to timing of the second disease and to differences in mortality for some groups. That could affect...

Efficacy and safety of ulcerative colitis therapies do not differ by age: A post hoc analysis of randomized controlled trials

Cure8 could only read part of this source from PubMed Central, so this card uses cautious topic tags instead of a full summary. It is tagged for Ulcerative colitis, Inflammatory bowel disease, and Research and clinical...

Long-term outcomes of laser therapy for perianal fistulising Crohn’s disease: a single-center retrospective cohort study

Perianal fistulas in Crohn’s disease are hard to treat and preserving continence is important. Long-term data suggesting laser ablation can achieve sustained healing in some patients are relevant for treatment decisions.

Prospective real-world experience with risankizumab in difficult-to-treat Crohn’s disease: results from the Dutch Initiative on Crohn and Colitis Registry

The study provides real-world effectiveness and safety data for risankizumab in a largely difficult-to-treat Crohn's population, showing about half achieved corticosteroid-free clinical remission at 24 weeks —...

Inflammatory bowel disease and risk of perineal injury in primiparous vaginal births: a retrospective cohort study

This helps people with IBD and their care teams make delivery plans: if perianal disease is not active, having IBD alone was not linked to higher perineal injury risk in first-time vaginal births in this study.

Synergistic effects of partial enteral nutrition combined with Ustekinumab in induction and maintenance therapy for Crohn's disease: Real-world experience from a multicentre cohort.

Adding partial enteral nutrition to ustekinumab was associated with better clinical, endoscopic, radiologic, and nutritional outcomes at 52 weeks in this multicentre real-world cohort of Crohn’s disease patients. This...

Association between inflammatory bowel disease and ankylosing spondylitis: Mendelian randomization of a different database and meta-analysis.

This study suggests that genetic risk for Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis may causally increase the risk of developing ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory joint condition that commonly co-occurs with IBD.
