Postoperative intra-abdominal abscesses are a common, serious short-term complication after ileocecal surgery in children with Crohn’s disease and can lengthen hospital stay and delay restarting medical treatment.
This study indicates pediatric DGBI are common worldwide and are linked to mental-health burden and healthcare use, so better recognition and support could help many children and families.
This local profile highlights an IBD patient receiving scholarship support and speaking about living with Crohn’s, surgery (ostomy), and the broader immune-related effects of the disease. It may inspire patients,...
NUDT15 gene variants can strongly increase the risk of neutropenia from thiopurine drugs used in IBD. Knowing a child’s NUDT15 status could help prevent serious low white blood cell counts by guiding drug choice or...
This case highlights that full-thickness rectal prolapse in a toddler can be caused by very early-onset ulcerative colitis rather than isolated pediatric prolapse or allergy.
Self-management is central to long-term IBD control. The study shows many patients have limited disease knowledge and less favorable attitudes, which could affect adherence, lifestyle choices, and follow-up.
Children with Crohn’s disease may have vitamin D deficiency and a theoretical link between vitamin D levels and relapse risk; this trial tested whether adding high‑dose vitamin D3 at diagnosis could lower relapses and...
People with Crohn’s disease facing pelvic exenteration or urinary diversion may worry that using ileal tissue is unsafe. This study suggests ileal conduits can be done but carry higher urological complication and...
Parents and clinicians often worry about liver disease when children are diagnosed with Crohn's. This study suggests advanced liver fibrosis is uncommon at diagnosis, but elastography and fibrotic biomarkers can be...
Noninvasive biomarkers that predict response to anti‑TNF drugs could help personalize treatment decisions and identify early who will achieve long‑term endoscopic remission.
Dietary patterns, especially ultra-processed food intake, are increasingly linked to Crohn's disease activity. This trial could provide randomized evidence on whether reducing ultra-processed foods prolongs remission in...
The study focuses on children newly diagnosed with Crohn's disease who start anti-TNF treatment and aims to identify biological and clinical markers tied to complete intestinal healing after one year; results could help...
Families and clinicians often wonder whether H. pylori infection in childhood affects risks for asthma, IBD, celiac disease, or other immune-mediated disorders.
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...
Firsthand accounts show the real-life impact of ulcerative colitis on daily life, schooling, and mental health. Stories about surgery and ostomy reversal can help reduce stigma and highlight the importance of peer...
Knowing which kids need biologics after EEN could help families and clinicians plan follow-up and monitoring. Simple blood tests like complement C4 and RDW may have predictive value, if confirmed.
Children with IBD can present differently than adults and may show early signs outside the gut. The special-issue papers highlight improved, less-invasive diagnostic tools and increasing use of targeted biologic...
Some infections (here, HIV) can closely mimic very early onset IBD. Recognizing progressive lymphopenia or unusual infections can change diagnosis and treatment, which matters because immunosuppression can worsen...
FMT is shown here to be an effective option for treating recurrent C. difficile infection, including for patients who also have IBD — a group often vulnerable to recurrent infections and complications.
Based on the title and source metadata, this appears to be a clinical study related to Inflammatory bowel disease and Pediatrics and family. The original article is from Nutrients.
A Phase 3 study is testing whether upadacitinib is safe and effective for children with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease who have not responded to or cannot take other therapies. Positive results could expand treatment...
If reliable, blood biomarkers that track IBD activity could help noninvasively follow children with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. This study suggests MMP-9 and TIMP-1 change with disease course but did not show...
First-person stories can help people with Crohn’s disease feel less alone and show ways to turn a diagnosis into advocacy or research involvement. The article highlights pediatric-to-adult transition issues and patient...
Predicting early need for infliximab could help identify children with Crohn’s disease who may benefit from earlier biologic therapy instead of prolonged conventional treatment. A reliable prediction tool may shorten...
Support organizations can offer education, peer connection, mental-health services, advocacy, and programs for children and families that complement medical care. Knowing where to find these resources can help people...
Based on the title and source metadata, this appears to be a clinical study related to Ulcerative colitis and Pediatrics and family. The original article is from BMC Infectious Diseases.
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...
Based on the title and source metadata, this appears to be a case report related to Ulcerative colitis, Inflammatory bowel disease, and Pediatrics and family. The original article is from Archives of disease in...
Cure8 found this source from amjcaserep.com, but the page could not be read reliably yet. It is tagged for Crohn's disease and Pediatrics and family. Open the original article for the full details.
Based on the title and source metadata, this appears to be a patient education related to Inflammatory bowel disease and Pediatrics and family. The original article is from Gut.
Based on the title and source metadata, this appears to be a patient education related to Inflammatory bowel disease, Celiac Disease, and Pediatrics and family. The original article is from Gut.
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 Inflammatory bowel disease, Upadacitinib, and Tofacitinib.
A sizable minority of people newly diagnosed with IBD—about 1 in 5 with Crohn’s and 1 in 10 with ulcerative colitis—received no IBD-specific drugs within the first year. Understanding who is untreated and why could...
Based on the title and source metadata, this appears to be a clinical study related to Crohn's disease, Infliximab, and Anti-TNF. The original article is from Frontiers in pediatrics.
Enteric hyperoxaluria increases risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones and kidney injury. Knowing how common EH is in Crohn's disease and after bariatric surgery helps identify who might benefit from screening and...
Internal fistulae can be clinically silent yet serious in long-standing Crohn's disease. Early cross-sectional imaging detected rare gastrocolic and duodenocolic fistulae in this patient, and elective combined surgery...
A high-profile IBD specialist joining a large GI group could expand access to expert IBD care, boost local research activity, and help train new gastroenterologists—changes that may affect patients in South Florida and...
This study supports intestinal ultrasound as a noninvasive, accurate way to detect small-bowel Crohn's activity in many pediatric patients, which could reduce reliance on MRI for routine monitoring. It highlights...
