Developing a risk prediction model for multidrug-resistant bacterial infection in patients with biliary tract infection
Conclusions: This simple bedside prediction tool to predict multidrug-resistant bacterial infection can help clinicians identify low versus high risk patients as well as choose appropriate, timely initial empirical antibiotics therapy. This model should be validated before it is widely applied in clinical settings. we can differentiate between (Source: The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology)

Successful response of intradermal hepatitis B vaccine in nonresponders of intramuscular hepatitis B vaccine in general and hemodialysis population
Conclusion: For those not responding to the conventional IM route of the hepatitis B vaccine, the ID route is an effective way of immunization in this group and this approach would lead to a decrease in infection rates in the vulnerable population such as those on hemodialysis.

Nonclostridium difficile enteric infection and the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion: Our meta-analysis has found that patients with non-CDI enteric infection were associated with an increased risk of IBD. Future studies are needed to determine the association between non-CDI enteric infection and the risk of developing IBD and elucidate the potential underlying mechanisms.

Nutrition and the gut microbiome during critical illness: A new insight of nutritional therapy
Sara ZaherSaudi Journal of Gastroenterology 2020 26(6):290-298 Changes in the microbiome in response to environmental influences can affect the overall health. Critical illness is considered one of the major environmental factors that can potentially influence the normal gut homeostasis. It is associated with pathophysiological effects causing damage to the intestinal microbiome. Alteration of intestinal microbial composition during critical illness may subsequently compromise the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier and intestinal mucosa absorptive function. Many factors can impact the microbiome of critically ...
