Preclinical stages of Crohn's disease defined by faecal calprotectin in asymptomatic first-degree relatives: screening framework for prevention trials.

Identifying people at very early, preclinical stages of Crohn’s disease could allow enrollment in prevention trials and earlier intervention. Faecal calprotectin may help select higher‑risk first‑degree relatives for...

Induction of mucosal healing by biologics is topographically comparable in proximal and distal small bowel Crohn's disease.
Clinical gastroenterology and hepatology : the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association

Induction of mucosal healing by biologics is topographically comparable in proximal and distal small bowel Crohn's disease.

For people with Crohn’s disease, this study suggests that biologic drugs reduce inflammation in both proximal and distal small bowel to a similar degree, as measured by capsule endoscopy.

Multimodal monitoring of pan-enteric mucosal healing and biologic persistence in Crohn's disease-the MILESTONE-CD prospective cohort.
Journal of Crohn's & colitis

Multimodal monitoring of pan-enteric mucosal healing and biologic persistence in Crohn's disease-the MILESTONE-CD prospective cohort.

Measuring mucosal healing across the whole gut with stool markers, ultrasound, and capsule endoscopy may give a clearer picture of whether biologic treatment is working and help guide decisions about continuing or...
