Pharmacokinetic Predictor of Infection in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treated With Intravenous and Subcutaneous Infliximab.
Journal of clinical gastroenterology

Pharmacokinetic Predictor of Infection in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treated With Intravenous and Subcutaneous Infliximab.

This study suggests that cumulative infliximab exposure over time (AUC) — not just trough levels — may predict infection risk in people with IBD. That could affect how clinicians use therapeutic drug monitoring to...

Dioscin activates myeloid AMPK to restore Lgr5⁺ stem cell homeostasis and promote mucosal repair in ulcerative colitis.
Pharmacological research

Dioscin activates myeloid AMPK to restore Lgr5⁺ stem cell homeostasis and promote mucosal repair in ulcerative colitis.

This study suggests a new preclinical approach to help the gut lining heal in ulcerative colitis by targeting macrophage metabolism (myeloid AMPK) rather than directly treating epithelial cells. That could matter for...

Preoperative myopenia is associated with postoperative complications and endoscopic recurrence after ileocolic resection in Crohn's disease.
Therapeutic advances in gastroenterology

Preoperative myopenia is associated with postoperative complications and endoscopic recurrence after ileocolic resection in Crohn's disease.

Low muscle mass before ileocolic resection appears linked to higher short-term surgical complications and higher rates of endoscopic recurrence — information that could affect preoperative assessment and planning for...

Microplastics and inflammatory bowel disease: dissecting the evidence from observational links to potential causal mechanisms.

Microplastics are a widespread environmental exposure that this review links to biological changes relevant to IBD — intestinal barrier damage, microbiome shifts, and immune activation — so patients and clinicians may...

Intertriginous/Periorificial Dermatoses in Patients With IBD on Anti-TNFα: Relative Abundance of Staphylococcus Aureus Within the Lesion Microbiota and Clinical Correlation (micSPIDER).

People with IBD who are treated with anti‑TNFα drugs commonly develop inflammatory or infectious skin problems. This study aims to clarify whether Staphylococcus aureus is more abundant in those lesions and whether its...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Interleukin-17 Inhibitors in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa have higher baseline IBD risk, and IL-17 inhibitors are effective HS treatments. People with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis (or those at risk) may worry whether these drugs...
