Beyond diagnosis: investigating hospital referral impact on biological treatment initiation, hospital admission, and surgery patterns in inflammatory bowel disease - a Danish population based study
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the findings of this population-based study, we found no evidence that the referral area had a significant impact on the duration from diagnosis to the initiation of biological treatment, hospital admissions, or surgery. However, the data suggested that fewer patients with luminal Crohn's disease were referred to biologics from Non-Academic Hospitals.PMID:38567864 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2337829 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

Activin A levels in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease associates with fibrosis and the PNPLA3 I148M variant
CONCLUSIONS: Circulating activin A levels were associated with advanced fibrosis and could be a potential blood biomarker for identifying advanced fibrosis in MASLD. Patients with the risk genotype PNPLA3 I148M G/G had higher levels of activin A proposing activin A as a contributor of the transition from simple steatosis to a fibrotic phenotype.PMID:38563432 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2334804 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

A comparison of Swedish IBS patients and general practitioners regarding viewpoints on IBS: a Q-methodology study
CONCLUSIONS: There was consensus between patients and GPs that IBS is a physical and not a psychiatric disorder of unknown etiology. They also seemed to agree that IBS has a great negative impact on patients' lives and that lifestyle changes are beneficial. There were conflicting opinions regarding gender, cultural factors and the use of antidepressants.PMID:38557218 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2328590 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

Intra-pancreatic fat deposition and its relation to obesity: a magnetic resonance imaging study
CONCLUSIONS: Pancreatic fat content was increased in obese individuals compared with lean controls and predominantly correlated with the amount of visceral adipose tissue. Pancreatic fat content was not clearly linked to measures of pancreatic fibrosis.PMID:38557425 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2333365 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

Plasma bile acids in association with Crohn's disease
CONCLUSION: Crohn's disease may be associated with altered plasma bile acid composition. The significance of colonic bacterial diversity in this context needs to be investigated in further studies.PMID:38505982 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2328592 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)
