Medical, endoscopic, and surgical therapies for the treatment of rectal cuffitis in ulcerative colitis patients with an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis: a systematic review
Patients who undergo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) without mucosectomy are left with a rectal cuff, which can develop inflammation known as cuffitis. Treatment of cuffitis typically includes mesalamine suppositories or corticosteroids, but individuals with refractory cuffitis may require advanced therapies, endoscopic intervention, or surgical intervention. The aim of this review is to summarize the existing literature regarding treatments options for cuffitis. (Source: Gastroenterology)

Multimodal prehabilitation may improve surgical outcomes for patients with inflammatory bowel disease
Surgery is associated with loss of lean body mass and physical deconditioning, which can delay healing and lead to complications. Multimodal prehabilitation (PH) with nutrition optimization and physical therapy improves outcomes after cancer surgery. However, the effects of prehabilitation for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) surgery are not established. We aimed to assess surgical outcomes among IBD patients exposed to prehabilitation relative to no prehabilitation. METHODS: We conducted a case-controlled study of the impact of prehabilitation in patients with IBD who underwent major abdominal surgery for Crohn ’s disea...

Multiple biosimilar infliximab switching is not associated with disease flare in inflammatory bowel disease: a real-world effectiveness analyses in a national u.s. cohort
Infliximab (IFX) biosimilars are available for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Many options of IFX biosimilars exist, however there is a paucity of data on the safety and efficacy of switching between multiple IFX biosimilars. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and outcomes in patients who received multiple IFX biosimilars in a National U.S. Cohort of patients with IBD. (Source: Gastroenterology)

Efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of subcutaneous infliximab (ct-p13 sc) monotherapy versus combination therapy with immunosuppressants – post hoc analysis of liberty-cd and liberty-uc study
CT-P13 subcutaneous (SC) infliximab formulation demonstrated superiority over placebo in maintenance therapy in Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patients in two parallel 54 weeks studies (LIBERTY-CD and LIBERTY-UC). We performed a post-hoc subgroup analysis comparing patients treated with CT-P13 SC with and without combination immunosuppressants (IS) at baseline in CD and UC. (Source: Gastroenterology)

The modulatory effect of prebiotic inulin-type fructans on the microbiome profile of children with inflammatory bowel disease: a double-blind randomized controlled trial
The intestinal microbiota plays a pivotal role in the inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) through their interaction with the mucosal immune system. Prebiotic interventions using inulin-type fructans increase faecal and mucosal bifidobacteria as well as butyrate producing bacteria in healthy volunteers. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a two-month oligofructose-enriched inulin (OI) supplementation on the microbiome composition, metabolome of children with IBD with subclinical disease activity.

The burden of inflammatory bowel disease on covid-19 hospitalizations: a nationwide analysis
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic systemic inflammatory process with primarily gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations, and is comprised of Crohn ’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The COVID-19 pandemic was unprecedented global health crisis that had a profound impact on healthcare burden. Both IBD and COVID-19 are associated with a pro-inflammatory state, however, the relationship between the two disease states remains unclear. S ome studies suggest that IBD patients may develop more severe COVID-19 infection. (Source: Gastroenterology)

Cytokine multi-omics and machine learning identify mip1alpha as a novel mediator in inflammatory bowel disease
Macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP1a) is a proinflammatory cytokine previously related to murine models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but not definitively in the human disease. MIP1a acts as a chemoattractant of immune cells from the blood to the gut mucosa. We aimed to delineate the alterations to MIP1a and macrophages in relation to a range of IBD severity.

Group 3 innate lymphoid cells rely on er stress response for cytokine production in ibd
Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) recently emerged as important regulators and potential drug targets for IBD. However, the response of ILC3s to environmental stimuli during intestinal inflammation remains elusive. IRE1a-XBP1 serves as the regulatory hub of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response that plays a vital role in intestinal inflammation. (Source: Gastroenterology)
