Background: The Crohn's Disease (CD) Activity Index (CDAI), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Questionnaire (IBDQ), and IBD-Fatigue (IBD-F) scale are useful patient-reported outcome (PRO) tools for assessing the treatment benefits of vedolizumab (VDZ) beyond clinical trial endpoints in patients with CD.
Objectives: To assess clinical response, clinical remission, steroid-free remission, changes from baseline for PROs, and safety in a real-world cohort of patients with moderate-to-severe active CD treated with VDZ.
Design: POLONEZ II was a multicenter, observational, prospective study across 10 Polish centers from April 2020 to October 2023 for 54 weeks in patients with CD eligible for reimbursed VDZ.

Background: A choristoma is defined as the accumulation of normal tissue in an abnormal location. Salivary gland choristomas are a rare entity that is most frequently described in the middle ear. However, there are a few reported cases of salivary gland choristomas in other locations like the pituitary gland and the optic nerve dural sheath.

Materials And Methods: The IRB-approved, retrospective study included 1064 multiparametric breast MRI scans (age: 52 ± 12 years) obtained from 2017 to 2020 (single site, two 3-T MRI). Eleven independent neural networks were trained to derive vCE images from varying input combinations of T1w, T2w, and multi-b-value DWI sequences (b-value = 50-1500 s/mm).
Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease is a progressive condition that requires new therapies to improve symptoms, and photobiomodulation therapy has shown promise in small studies.
- A five-year follow-up on eight participants from a prior study evaluated the long-term effects of self-applied photobiomodulation therapy, with most continuing treatment throughout this period.
- Results indicated significant improvements in mobility, balance, and cognition for the participants who continued therapy, though some measures, including overall motor function and static balance, showed no significant changes or declines.
Objective: The reimplantation of autologous bone grafts after decompressive craniectomy (DC) is still up for debate. The objective of this study was to analyze the surgical revision rate for autologous cranioplasties in our center, aiming to identify predictors for procedure-related-complications.
Methods: A retrospective single-center study was conducted for adult patients who underwent autologous cranioplasty after DC.
