Real-world efficacy and safety of tofacitinib treatment in Asian patients with ulcerative colitis
CONCLUSION: TOF was more effective in UC patients with mild activity at baseline and its efficacy was not affected by previous treatment with anti-TNF-α agents. Most relapsed patients responded again after re-increase of TOF and nearly half relapsed after tapering off TOF. Special attention is needed for tapering and HZ.PMID:38659488 | PMC:PMC11036499 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i13.1871 (Source: Herpes)

Ileorectal anastomosis in ulcerative colitis: what do surgeons and patients need to know? A systematic literature review
CONCLUSIONS: For some patients, IRA can offer restorative surgery in the short or long term, with acceptable cancer risk, failure rate and postoperative complications, while avoiding the higher risks associated with IPAA.PMID:38660816 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2024.0012 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

Bowel Resection Margins in Crohn's Disease: Do They Matter?
Clin Colon Rectal Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1786376Many patients with Crohn's disease (CD) will ultimately require surgical intervention for refractory disease despite recognizing that surgery does not cure CD. The initial operation, primarily for ileocolic disease, is focused on resecting the offending pathology and ideally providing a reduced likelihood for subsequent operations and additional bowel loss through surgical techniques. The appropriate margin, macro- vs. microscopic, lays in balance to provide an adequate resection that minimizes bowel loss, compared to an extensive resection which ensures a thorough resectio...

Preoperative Optimization of Crohn's Patients before Abdominopelvic Surgery
Clin Colon Rectal Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1786380In this article, we review and identify modifiable risk factors associated with postoperative complications of Crohn's disease. We highlight the importance of factors such as nutrition, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, abscesses, ideal timing of surgery, and biologic and small-molecule therapy on surgical outcomes. Herein, we discuss the strategies for attenuating these risk factors. Special consideration is given to venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in this patient population.

Insights into treatment of complex Crohn's  perianal fistulas
AbstractComplex perianal fistula is a common complication of Crohn ’s disease (CD) which leads to negative impact on patient’s quality of life. Successful management of the disease requires a multidisciplinary approach, including a gastroenterologist and a colorectal surgeon, applying combined surgical and medical therapy. One of frequently practiced surgical p rocedures is seton placement in the fistula tract, which is used to control perianal sepsis and drain the fistula, while preventing recurrent abscess formation.Darvadstrocel, a suspension of expanded, allogeneic, adipose-derived, mesenchymal stem cells, is safe ...

Iron supplementation in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease: recommendations for a practical approach

Iron deficiency anemia plays a major role, especially in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and is the most common extraintestinal manifestation and IBD-associated systemic complication. The presence of anemia leads to a reduction in quality of life in patients with IBD associated with limitations in physical, emotional, and cognitive function. In addition, it is associated with an increased hospitalization rate. For this reason, iron supplementation is of particular importa...

Systematic Literature Review on the Incidence of Herpes Zoster in Populations at Increased Risk of Disease in the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and the UK
CONCLUSIONS: The HZ incidence rate in Europe increased with age and varied across high-risk populations, with high rates for solid organ and stem cell transplants, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis. Most studies were retrospective with methodological differences affecting generalizability and comparability. Future studies should stratify data by IC population, age, sex, severity, medication, and study timeframe.PMID:38656653 | DOI:10.1007/s40121-024-00963-w (Source: Herpes)
