• Fecal Immunochemical Test to Detect Colorectal Neoplasia in Lynch Syndrome: A Prospective Multicenter Study

    Colonoscopy surveillance for Lynch syndrome is burdensome and postcolonoscopy colorectal cancers (CRCs) still occur. The noninvasive fecal immunochemical test (FIT) might guide optimal colonoscopy intervals.

  • Explainable machine learning model for predicting acute pancreatitis mortality in the intensive care unit

    In this study, we aimed to construct an explainable ML model to calculate the risk of mortality in patients with AP admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) and compared it with existing scoring systems.

  • Alcohol-Associated Pancreatitis and Liver Disease Among Adolescents and Young Adults

    This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of end-organ complications from alcohol among AYAs over the past 2 decades in the general population.

  • Erythrocyte Methotrexate–Polyglutamate Concentrations in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    Intracellular MTX–polyglutamates (PG1–5), which accumulate over time, have not been assessed in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aimed to evaluate erythrocyte MTX-PG as a potential TDM tool in pediatric IBD.

  • Multiple large language models versus experienced physicians in diagnosing challenging cases with gastrointestinal symptoms

    Faced with challenging cases, doctors are increasingly seeking diagnostic advice from large language models (LLMs). This study aims to compare the ability of LLMs and human physicians to diagnose challenging cases. An offline dataset of 67 challenging cases with primary gastrointestinal symptoms was used to solicit possible diagnoses from seven LLMs and 22 gastroenterologists.

  • PAT1 deficiency: the latest on the intestinal barrier and inflammatory bowel disease

    The deficiency of the anion transporter PAT1 leads to a disrupted intestinal barrier, microbial dysbiosis and increased susceptibility to intestinal inflammation.

  • Stent as a bridge to surgery for malignant colonic obstruction: a retrospective study on survival and outcomes

    In cases of malignant colonic obstruction (MCO), self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) are used as a bridge to surgery, offering an alternative to emergency surgery. However, the long-term oncologic outcomes remain debated, particularly in developing countries where the cost of SEMS is a concern.

  • For ulcerative colitis: compensate for selenium deficiency!

    Selenium deficiency is a common find in inflammatory bowel diseases. Recent studies emphasise that there is a benefit in selenium intake for these patients.

  • Machine learning-random forest model was used to construct gene signature associated with cuproptosis to predict the prognosis of gastric cancer

    The purpose of the present study was to establish a prognostic model of CRGs and provide directions for the diagnosis and treatment of GC. Transcriptome and clinical data of patients with GC were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus datasets.

  • Severe Cholestasis Predicts Recurrent Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis Following Liver Transplantation

    Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) may reoccur following liver transplantation (LT), and the diagnosis established once imaging studies demonstrate the diagnostic cholangiographic appearance. To evaluate whether the development of recurrent PSC (rPSC) is associated with cholestasis soon after LT, we studied whether changes in hepatic biochemistry within the first 12 months were linked with the development of rPSC and graft loss.

  • Review Article: Albumin and Its Role in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: The Old, the New, and the Future

    Circulating albumin concentrations are frequently measured in clinical practice. This review explores biochemical properties and physiological roles of albumin, its place in nutritional assessment, current understanding of perturbed circulating concentrations, and role in clinical management, with special focus on patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

  • Resting-State Functional Connectivity of the Cerebellum Differs Between Persons With Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Healthy Controls in Relation to Executive Function

    Persons with inflammatory bowel disease exhibit a weaker relationship between executive function and functional connectivity of cerebellar regions (VIIa Crus I and VIIa Crus II) to cortical areas involved in visual processing compared to healthy counterparts with comparable performance.

  • Automatic Quality Control System and Adenoma Detection Rates During Routine Colonoscopy

    In this randomized clinical trial that included 1254 adults, the AQCS-assisted group achieved a significantly higher adenoma detection rate vs the standard colonoscopy group (32.7% vs 22.6%).

  • Age-period-cohort analysis of gallbladder and biliary diseases epidemiological trends from 1990 to 2021 and forecasts for 2035: a systematic analysis from the global burden of disease study 2021

    GABD continue to pose a significant global public health challenge, particularly affecting women and the elderly population. Consequently, the implementation of effective interventions to mitigate the GABD burden is of paramount importance.

  • Neighborhood Socioeconomic Deprivation and 30-Day Outcomes After Admission for Common Gastrointestinal Conditions: A Large Nationwide Study

    We analyzed a nationwide sample of United States Medicare beneficiaries hospitalized from 2017-2019 for common gastrointestinal diseases, grouped by Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs).

  • Impact of Prior Biologic Exposure on Ozanimod Efficacy and Safety in the Phase 3 True North Clinical Trial

    Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and prior biologic failure may have reduced or delayed efficacy with subsequent advanced therapies. This analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of ozanimod during the True North (TN) study and its open-label extension (OLE) in biologic-exposed patients with UC.

  • Discussion of age limits for bowel cancer screening

    A recent cost-effectiveness analysis addressed the question of the appropriate age for the start and end of screening colonoscopies.

  • Daily sodium intake and constipation in US adult males: an uncommon negative association revealed by national health and nutrition examination survey data from the United States (2005–2010)

    This study demonstrates a negative association between daily sodium intake and constipation risk among adult males, suggesting that sodium intake might influence intestinal function.

  • A hybrid framework for colorectal cancer detection and U-Net segmentation using polynetDWTCADx

    “PolynetDWTCADx” is a sophisticated hybrid model that was developed to identify and distinguish colorectal cancer. In this study, the CKHK-22 dataset, comprising 24 classes, served as the introduction.

  • Pregnancy With a Stoma is Feasible, Though Associated With Manageable Complications

    Pregnancy with a stoma is feasible, though manageable complications often occur. Counseling before pregnancy and close monitoring of symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum are essential for women with IBD and a stoma.
