Severe Pancolitis Presenting with Sacroiliitis: A Case Highlighting the Gut-Joint Axis in Ulcerative Colitis

This case shows that ulcerative colitis can first appear with inflammatory back pain (sacroiliitis) rather than bowel symptoms; recognizing this link can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment that may help both gut and...

Bowel Urgency in Ulcerative Colitis Is Associated With Clinical Endpoints, Health-Related Quality of Life, and Biomarkers: Data From the Etrasimod ELEVATE UC 52 Trial
Crohn's & Colitis 360

Bowel Urgency in Ulcerative Colitis Is Associated With Clinical Endpoints, Health-Related Quality of Life, and Biomarkers: Data From the Etrasimod ELEVATE UC 52 Trial

Bowel urgency is a common, disruptive UC symptom; this trial analysis shows urgency improvements with etrasimod track with clinical remission, endoscopic improvement, better quality of life, and lower inflammatory...

Impact of Inflammatory Activity on Anorectal Function in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis: A Prospective Study

This study links active UC inflammation to measurable anorectal dysfunction (greater rectal sensitivity, lower compliance/capacity) that helps explain common symptoms such as urgency and fecal incontinence. Some...

Presentation and Clinical Outcomes of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Children and Adolescents at a Tertiary Care Center in Lebanon.
Journal of clinical medicine

Presentation and Clinical Outcomes of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Children and Adolescents at a Tertiary Care Center in Lebanon.

This study describes how IBD presents and early outcomes in children at a tertiary center, noting high rates of inflammation, nutritional problems, and early flares. Findings may help families and clinicians understand...

Metabolic Profiling of the Gut-Brain Axis in a Murine Model of Ulcerative Colitis with Raman Spectroscopy.
ACS applied materials & interfaces

Metabolic Profiling of the Gut-Brain Axis in a Murine Model of Ulcerative Colitis with Raman Spectroscopy.

The study identifies candidate metabolites that may underlie gut–brain biochemical crosstalk during colitis, which could point to early biomarkers or mechanistic targets relevant to IBD-related brain effects.

Fusobacterium nucleatum- derived succinic acid aggravates colitis by triggering macrophage pro-inflammatory phenotypic transformation via SUCNR1/NF-κB axis.
Gut microbes

Fusobacterium nucleatum- derived succinic acid aggravates colitis by triggering macrophage pro-inflammatory phenotypic transformation via SUCNR1/NF-κB axis.

If true, a common gut microbe (Fusobacterium nucleatum) and its metabolite succinic acid could worsen intestinal inflammation by changing macrophage behavior, suggesting new targets to reduce flares or mucosal injury in...

Dietary patterns, gut microbiota, and gastrointestinal disorders: mechanistic insights into irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.

Diet is a modifiable factor that appears to change the gut microbiome and may affect symptoms and inflammation in both IBS and IBD; understanding which patterns help could guide practical dietary advice.

A comparative study on the clinical differences in traditional Chinese medicine pattern in ulcerative colitis utilizing multidimensional data

If you have ulcerative colitis, the study suggests that TCM pattern labels (DCSR vs PXSY) align with measurable differences in inflammation and tissue damage, which could influence personalized symptom assessment or...

IL-10-STAT3 axis preserves epithelial mitochondrial homeostasis during bacterial challenge.
Gut microbes

IL-10-STAT3 axis preserves epithelial mitochondrial homeostasis during bacterial challenge.

This study shows a mechanism by which IL-10 protects gut epithelial mitochondria and barrier function during exposure to an IBD-associated E. coli strain, which could be relevant to understanding pathways that maintain...

Multi-Omics Framework Integrating Genetics, Microbiome, Metabolism, and Immunity for Deciphering Ulcerative Colitis Pathogenesis and Diagnostic Biomarker Discovery.
FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology

Multi-Omics Framework Integrating Genetics, Microbiome, Metabolism, and Immunity for Deciphering Ulcerative Colitis Pathogenesis and Diagnostic Biomarker Discovery.

Researchers used genetics, microbiome, metabolism, and immune profiling together to nominate biological pathways and a four-gene signature that might help diagnose or explain ulcerative colitis. If validated later, these...

Risk factors and fatigue in difficult-to-treat Crohn’s disease: A cross-sectional study of a Chinese cohort

Identifies features associated with the new international definition of difficult‑to‑treat Crohn’s disease and links DTT status to greater mental fatigue. Biomarker differences (IL‑5, IL‑10) may point to distinct immune...

Linking Clinical Disease Activity to Quality of Life in Ulcerative Colitis: Serial Mediation by Patient Activation and Comfort.

This study shows that patients' comfort partly explains how clinical disease activity affects quality of life in ulcerative colitis, suggesting comfort-focused nursing care could help patients feel better even when...
