  • Burden of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, with and without metabolic syndrome, obesity, or diabetes

    This retrospective cohort study evaluated the patient characteristics, healthcare utilization, and healthcare costs among patients with MASH with and without metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes/elevated fasting glucose.

  • Highly processed foods: not all of them are bad for your health

    Highly processed foods are generally considered unhealthy. But the potential risks for diabetes and CVDs depend heavily on specific product types.

  • Protein, alcohol and more: How does diet affect gut health?

    Sugar, fibre, protein, fat, alcohol; many components of our diet affect our gastrointestinal tract lining. A new review explains what this means for gut health.

  • Association Between Computed Tomography–Based AI-Derived Body Composition and Survival in Patients With Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

    A deeper understanding of the factors influencing survival in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is essential for optimizing treatment strategies. This study investigates the independent association of body composition parameters with overall survival in patients with PDAC.

  • Construction of a MOF-Based Snap-Top Delivery Nanosystem for Powerful Dual-Responsive Synergistic Colitis Treatment

    This study integrates targeted delivery, antioxidant therapy, and microbiota modulation, offering an effective strategy for precision IBD treatment.

  • Prospective real-world experience with risankizumab in difficult-to-treat Crohn’s disease: results from the Dutch Initiative on Crohn and Colitis Registry

    Risankizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-23, is approved for the treatment of Crohn’s disease (CD). Real-world evidence on its effectiveness remains limited. We assessed 1-year effectiveness and safety of risankizumab in a prospective cohort of patients with CD, emphasizing difficult-to-treat disease.

  • Radiofrequency Ablation and Chemotherapy vs Chemotherapy Only in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer. The PELICAN Randomized Clinical Trial

    This international randomized clinical trial, including 188 patients with LAPC after 2 months of multiagent chemotherapy, found that local ablative therapy with RFA did not improve survival compared with chemotherapy only and worsened quality of life.

  • Camrelizumab plus CAPOX with camrelizumab based maintenance versus CAPOX alone as initial treatment for gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma: randomised phase 3 trial

    Initial treatment with camrelizumab plus CAPOX followed by camrelizumab based maintenance was associated with longer overall survival than CAPOX alone in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

  • The short-chain fatty acid butyrate prevents gut-brain amyloid-β pathology and neuroinflammation in an Alzheimer mouse model

    Collectively, these findings suggest that Aβ promotes gut symptoms through alteration of ENS connectivity and butyrate counteracts these impairments with an amelioration of neuroinflammation and memory function in AD model.

  • Semaglutide for obesity: Increased gastroparesis risk even for non-diabetics?

    Treatment with semaglutide can lead to weight loss in obese patients – but according to US data, it significantly increases the risk of gastroparesis.

  • Cardiovascular Outcomes following Major Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Patients with Pre-existing Cardiovascular Disease: the INTERBLEED International Prospective Cohort Study

    GIB in patients with CV disease is independently associated with subsequent morbidity and mortality. Patterns in antithrombotic resumption were associated with outcomes. Further research into optimal antithrombotic management following GIB is essential.

  • Endoscopic Ultrasound for the Management of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Future Perspectives

    This review summarizes evidence on epidemiology, diagnostic workup, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)–guided management of PanNETs, encompassing diagnostic evaluation, tissue acquisition, and therapeutic interventions.

  • Gastrointestinal bleeding risk in cirrhotic portal vein thrombosis: focus on thrombus extension to superior mesenteric vein

    This retrospective study included 380 hospitalized cirrhotic patients complicated by PVT, categorized into bleeding and non-bleeding groups based on history of gastrointestinal bleeding.

  • Mirikizumab four-year sustained and durable efficacy and safety in ulcerative colitis: Final findings from the LUCENT-3 open-label extension study

    Mirikizumab provided sustained symptomatic, clinical, endoscopic, and histologic benefits over 4 years in responding patients with moderately-to-severely active UC, including those with prior biologic failure.

  • Fatty liver: less severe liver complications with SGLT-2 inhibitors?

    A study saw less frequent severe liver complications in MASLD patients treated with SGLT-2 inhibitors, compared to glitazones treatments, but not less than GLP-1 receptor agonists treatments.

  • Prior Cancer and Survival in Patients With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Prior cancer was independently associated with poorer overall and cancer-specific survival and with prior stomach, head and neck, or lung cancers; the negative association with survival was also found when the prior cancer occurred more than 5 years before ESCC diagnosis.

  • Histogenetic Classification Predicts Outcomes in 130 Adults with Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction

    Patients with CIPO underwent genomic profiling, including NGS panel, long-range PCR, whole-exome, and whole-genome sequencing. Centralized histological analysis of full-thickness bowel biopsies and resections was integrated with genomic data to assess their combined impact on disease outcomes.

  • Sucralose: Does the sweetener interfere with cancer immunotherapy?

    New data shows that the widely used sweetener sucralose can impair the response to PD-1-based immunotherapies in tumor patients, due to triggered changes in the gut microbiome.

  • Breathing exercises as a new treatment for reflux?

    A systematic review examines the question of whether targeted respiratory muscle training can influence the anti-reflux barrier and alleviate reflux symptoms.
