• The use of fully covered self-expandable metal stents in the endoscopic treatment of portal cavernoma cholangiopathy

    FCSEMS placement is an effective method in biliary strictures in case of PCC. Acute cholecystitis is encountered frequently after FCSEMS, but majority of patients respond to the medical treatment.

  • Classification and Management of Disorders of the J Pouch

    For the purpose of this review, we focused on the diagnosis of some of the most common inflammatory and structural pouch disorders and their respective management. Pouchitis is the most common complication, and it is typically responsive to antibiotics.

  • The Crohn’s Disease Exclusion Diet: A Comprehensive Review of Evidence, Implementation Strategies, Practical Guidance, and Future Directions

    The CDED has emerged as a valid alternative to EEN with cumulative evidence, including randomized controlled trials, supporting use for induction of remission and possibly maintenance in children and adults.

  • Cost-Effectiveness of Blood-Based Biomarkers for Colorectal Cancer Screening - An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a Pound of Cure

    There are several timely, important, and novel aspects to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening that are highlighted in the study by Aziz et al.

  • Ultra-processed foods, adiposity and risk of head and neck cancer and oesophageal adenocarcinoma in the EPIC study

    During a mean follow-up of 14.13 ± 3.98 years, 910 and 215 participants developed HNC and OAC, respectively. UPF consumption was positively associated with accidental death in the negative control analysis.

  • Parabacteroides distasonis ameliorates insulin resistance via activation of intestinal GPR109a

    Gut microbiota plays a key role in insulin resistance (IR). Here we perform a case-control study of Chinese adults (ChiCTR2200065715) and identify that Parabacteroides distasonis is inversely correlated with IR.

  • 5 abstracts awarded at UEG WEEK 2023

    The annual international congress took place as a hybrid event in Copenhaguen and online during 14-16 October with over 11,000 participants.

  • Nutrition could prevent or promote non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: an opportunity for intervention

    Ultra-processed foods, sugar sweetened beverages, and saturated fats are the main contributors; dietary patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet, could be the best prevention

  • Amitriptyline helps relieve IBS symptoms

    The results showed that patients taking amitriptyline were almost twice as likely to report an overall improvement in symptoms as those taking a placebo.

  • Sex- and reproductive status-specific relationships between body composition and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

    Increased WC and low FFM/FM in men and visceral obesity in post-menopausal women were independent correlates of more severe liver steatosis.

  • Working With Indigenous Community and Patient Partners Is Essential to Advance Research: Perspectives From Canada

    We recommend 5 steps for engaging with Indigenous community members to build meaningful and respectful relationships and co-create Indigenous gastroenterology and hepatology knowledge.

  • Ultra-processed foods and cardiometabolic health: public health policies to reduce consumption cannot wait

    Existing evidence is sufficiently strong to warrant immediate public health actions to help citizens identify ultra-processed foods and limit their exposure.

  • Depression symptoms increase the risk for initiation or switching to biologic therapy in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease patients in remission

    Mental health screening programs should be incorporated in routine clinical practice, especially for depression, regardless of disease activity and disease type.

  • Intelligent surgical workflow recognition for endoscopic submucosal dissection with real-time animal study

    Here we propose AI-Endo, an intelligent surgical workflow recognition suit, for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Our AI-Endo is trained on high-quality ESD cases from an expert endoscopist, covering a decade time expansion.

  • Statin therapy for liver protection?

    More people are developing liver damage or liver carcinoma. Can the rising number of deaths caused by these be reduced? Statins may be an option.

  • Eosinophilic oesophagitis: the milk does the trick

    Eliminating certain foods can help cure eosinophilic oesophagitis. But it is often unclear which to eliminate or abstain from. Researchers compared elimination diets of different foods, versus those where only cow's milk was avoided.

  • Proton-pump inhibitors and cancer therapy: a bad combination?

    Some retrospective studies suggested that combination of PPIs with immuno-chemotherapies, is associated with worse outcomes. What's new on this issue?

  • Significant Dose-Response Association of Physical Activity and Diet Quality With Mortality in Adults With Suspected NAFLD in a Population Study

    Analyses revealed a dose-dependent, nonlinear association of PA (volume and intensity) with all-cause mortality and a dose-dependent, linear association of DQ with all-cause mortality.

  • STAR SIGN study: Evaluation of COVID-19 vaccine efficacy against the SARS-CoV-2 variants BQ.1.1 and XBB.1.5 in patients with inflammatory bowel disease

    Surrogate neutralisation against all tested sublineages was reduced in patients with IBD who were treated with anti-TNF biologics compared to patients treated with non-anti-TNF biologics and healthy controls.

  • Can balloon-assisted enteroscopy predict disease outcomes in patients with small-bowel Crohn’s disease?

    The present study demonstrated the role of BAE in the endoscopic assessment of disease activity and its predictive value for the risk of surgery in small-bowel CD patients. Further optimization of BAE utilization for the assessment of disease activity is warranted in clinical practice.
