Bacterial related events and the immunological response of onset and relapse adult Crohn’s disease patients. J Crohns Colitis. 2018 Sep 22;: Authors: Cantó E, Zamora C, Garcia-Planella E, Gordillo J, Ortiz MA, Perea L, Vidal S Abstract Background and Aims: Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease characterized by periods of remission and flare-ups. It has been associated with a disturbed gastrointestinal barrier function, an increase in the transport of luminal contents into the tissue and lower immune tolerance. Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected from healthy controls…

Index Severity Score and Early Readmission Predicts Increased Mortality in Ulcerative Colitis Patients. Inflamm Bowel Dis. 2018 Sep 20;: Authors: Kruger AJ, Hinton A, Afzali A Abstract Background: Readmissions are common after hospitalization related to ulcerative colitis (UC). A risk score to stratify the severity of UC hospitalizations and risk of colectomy has been previously reported. Our aim was to predict hospital-related outcomes after hospitalizations for UC utilizing this severity score. Methods: We utilized the Nationwide Readmissions Database (2010-2014) for hospitalized patients with UC and differentiated patients by index severity…

Anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy decreases the risk of initial intestinal surgery after diagnosis of Crohn’s disease of inflammatory type. J Gastroenterol. 2018 Sep 22;: Authors: Nagata Y, Esaki M, Moriyama T, Hirano A, Umeno J, Maehata Y, Torisu T, Matsumoto T, Kitazono T Abstract BACKGROUND: Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy induces and maintains clinical remission in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD). However, the effect of anti-TNF therapy on the natural course of CD remains controversial. We aimed to investigate the effect of anti-TNF therapy on the initial intestinal surgery for…

The human mesenteric lymph node microbiome differentiates between Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. J Crohns Colitis. 2018 Sep 15;: Authors: Kiernan MG, Coffey JC, McDermott K, Cotter PD, Cabrera-Rubio R, Kiely PA, Dunne CP Abstract Background and Aims: Mesenteric lymph nodes are sites in which translocated bacteria incite and progress immunological responses. For this reason, understanding the microbiome of mesenteric lymph nodes in inflammatory bowel disease is important. The bacterial profile of Crohn’s disease mesenteric lymph nodes has been analysed using culture-independent methods in only one previous study. This study…
