• Risk factors for gastroesophageal reflux disease: a population-based study

    Based on the results, smoking, alcohol, inactivity, high intake of sweets and desserts, low intake of fiber, depression, visceral fat, and obesity are considered as risk factors for GERD. Modifying lifestyle and behavioral habits prevent GERD.

  • A tissue atlas of ulcerative colitis revealing evidence of sex-dependent differences in disease-driving inflammatory cell types and resistance to TNF inhibitor therapy

    We analyzed 52 biomarkers on 1,710,973 spatially resolved single cells to determine cell types, cell-cell contacts, and cellular neighborhoods. We observed that cellular functional states are associated with cellular neighborhoods.

  • Global burden and risk factors of gastritis and duodenitis: an observational trend study from 1990 to 2019

    Using the global burden of disease (GBD) database spanning 1990 to 2019, we evaluated the temporal trends of age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), age-standardized death rates (ASDR), and age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (AS-DALYs) for GD using estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC).

  • Thirty-Day Readmissions Are Largely Not Preventable in Patients With Cirrhosis

    Of 654 patients, 246 (38%) were readmitted, and 29 (12%) were preventable readmissions. Reviewers agreed on preventability for 70% of readmissions. Twenty-two (including 2 with preventable readmission) died.

  • Using biomarkers in Crohn's disease

    New guidelines highlight the reliability of blood and faecal tests to monitor inflammation degrees in CD, thus reducing invasive endoscopy frequencies.

  • Ion Transport Basis of Diarrhea, Paneth Cell Metaplasia, and Upregulation of Mechanosensory Pathway in Anti-CD40 Colitis Mice

    Data demonstrate that the anti-CD40 colitis model shows key features of IBD observed in the human disease, hence making it a suitable model to investigate the pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis (UC).

  • Colorectal cancer in young people: Watch out for red flags

    Who thinks instantly of bowel cancer when abdominal pain or diarrhoea hits? It turns out, these complaints may be key symptoms of early colorectal cancer.

  • SIWA318H: A new antibody against pancreatic cancer

    A preclinical study highlights the potential of SIWA318H, an antibody targeting advanced glycation end-products, in the fight against pancreatic cancer.

  • Advances in the management of pancreatic cancer

    This review outlines the current management of pancreatic cancer, and the recent advances in its treatment. The review discusses future treatment pathways aimed at integrating novel findings of translational and clinical research.

  • The effect of an acute aspirin challenge on intestinal permeability in healthy adults with and without prophylactic probiotic consumption

    The acute aspirin challenge significantly increased intestinal permeability similarly in both groups, and prophylactic probiotic consumption was unable to prevent the loss in this particular model.

  • Burden of perianal disease in Crohn's disease: Accelerating medical therapy and high rates of perianal surgery over the last four decades – Results from a population-based study over four decades

    The burden of perianal disease and perianal surgery rates were high in this cohort. Therapeutic strategy was accelerated in patients with perianal Crohn's over time with higher exposure to immunosuppressives and biologics.

  • A vibrating ingestible bioelectronic stimulator modulates gastric stretch receptors for illusory satiety

    In this study, we developed a new luminal stimulation modality to specifically activate these gastric stretch receptors to elicit a vagal afferent response commensurate with mechanical distension.

  • The Helicobacter pylori Genome Project: insights into H. pylori population structure from analysis of a worldwide collection of complete genomes

    Helicobacter pylori, a dominant member of the gastric microbiota, shares co-evolutionary history with humans. This has led to the development of genetically distinct H. pylori subpopulations associated with the geographic origin of the host and with differential gastric disease risk.

  • Exposure to Agent Orange and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Among US Military Personnel

    Is Agent Orange (AO) exposure during the Vietnam War (1966 to 1975) associated with incident hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)? These findings suggest that AO exposure is not associated with incident HCC.

  • The Epidemiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Oceania: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Incidence and Prevalence

    This systematic review and meta-analysis of inflammatory bowel disease in Oceania found high incidence rates (19.8 [95% confidence interval, 15.8-23.7] per 100 000 person-years) and prevalence rates (303.3 [95% confidence interval, 128.1-478.4] per 100 000 persons).

  • Liver diseases are being renamed: an end to stigmatisation?

    The terms non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis are misleading for some experts, with inaccurate associations leading to stigmas.

  • Can Alzheimer's be detected in the gut microbiome before cognitive impairment appears?

    An altered gut microbiome may precede the clinical signs of Alzheimer's disease. Can the gut microbiome be used as an early biomarker?

  • International survey on complications of religious fasting after metabolic and bariatric surgery

    Patients after MBS should be advised about the risks while fasting including abdominal pain, dehydration, and peptic ulcer disease exacerbation, and a thorough review of their medications is warranted to minimize complications.

  • 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.
