People with Crohn's disease who develop symptomatic intestinal strictures currently often need endoscopic dilation or surgery. This trial tests an investigational oral drug (ontunisertib) aiming to improve...
IBD patients can have lung involvement without symptoms. Simple spirometry focused on small-airway measures might help detect early pulmonary changes and prompt further evaluation or monitoring.
AI models that combine CTE/MRE imaging with clinical and molecular data could improve objective classification of small-bowel Crohn's disease and help predict which patients are likely to respond to medical therapy...
Predicting who will respond to anti-TNF drugs could help avoid ineffective treatments, reduce delays to effective therapy, and personalize care for children with Crohn's disease.
This study could clarify which imaging test—MRE or IUS—is more accurate or appropriate for monitoring treatment response in Crohn's disease, potentially standardising follow-up and informing patient and clinician...
If you have newly diagnosed Crohn’s disease, this study suggests sacroiliac joint inflammation or structural SIJ changes can already be present and may relate to microscopic (histologic) intestinal activity.
Arthralgia and other extraintestinal symptoms may signal higher risk of developing peripheral arthritis in people with Crohn disease. Recognizing early joint pain could prompt closer monitoring or earlier rheumatology...
People with Crohn’s disease who have an ileostomy have limited noninvasive ways to monitor small-bowel inflammation. This study suggests measuring fecal calprotectin from ileostomy output could help detect postoperative...
