Mechanistic investigation of clarithromycin in ulcerative colitis involving Kv1.3 downregulation and modulation of the Th17/Treg balance

This preclinical study suggests clarithromycin may reduce colon inflammation in ulcerative colitis models and identifies Kv1.3 and the Th17/Treg balance as possible mechanisms — findings that could guide future...

Acne therapy with isotretinoin is well tolerated in patients with established inflammatory bowel disease: a retrospective, single center study.
Crohn's & colitis 360

Acne therapy with isotretinoin is well tolerated in patients with established inflammatory bowel disease: a retrospective, single center study.

Patients and clinicians worry isotretinoin might trigger flares in people with existing IBD. This study suggests that among patients with stable, well-controlled Crohn's or UC, isotretinoin did not generally worsen...

Clinical characteristics of patients with overlapping eosinophilic esophagitis and inflammatory bowel disease in a national real-world cohort.
Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus

Clinical characteristics of patients with overlapping eosinophilic esophagitis and inflammatory bowel disease in a national real-world cohort.

Overlap of EoE and IBD appears uncommon but more frequent than in the general population and is linked to more allergic disease and higher steroid exposure without clearer increases in esophageal scarring. That may...

Design and outcome measures of clinical trials for active ulcerative colitis: a scoping review based on databases

This review summarizes how ulcerative colitis trials have been designed recently and flags common weaknesses (small samples, short follow-up, overreliance on Mayo score). Better-designed trials could produce results that...

Evaluation Of Blood Platelet Indices, Platelet Aggregation And Coagulation Profile In The Activity State Of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients On Biological Treatment

Blood platelet indices (PLR, MPV) are simple blood-test measures that may help detect IBD activity and show changes with biologic treatment. If validated, they could offer an inexpensive, noninvasive way to supplement...
