Residual Disease Burden Among European Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Real-World Survey.

Background: Understanding disease burden is imperative for improving inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) management. This real-world survey investigated residual disease burden and treatment satisfaction among European patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD).

Methods: The Adelphi Real World IBD Disease Specific Programme was a multinational, cross-sectional survey with retrospective collection of patient- and physician-reported data on disease burden and management.

Glutaryl-CoA Dehydrogenase Misfolding in Glutaric Acidemia Type 1.

Glutaric acidemia type 1 (GA1) is a neurotoxic metabolic disorder due to glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) deficiency. The high number of missense variants associated with the disease and their impact on GCDH activity suggest that disturbed protein conformation can affect the biochemical phenotype. We aimed to elucidate the molecular basis of protein loss of function in GA1 by performing a parallel analysis in a large panel of missense variants using different biochemical and biophysical methodologies.

Early MOnitoring of REsponse (MORE) to Golimumab Therapy: Results of a Multicentre, Prospective Observational Trial.

Background: The therapeutic goal of clinical remission in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) is achieved after biological therapy only in 16-39%. Individualization of therapeutic intervention would benefit from prediction of early response.

Study Objective: The primary objective of our study was to assess golimumab (GLM) trough serum level of ≥2.

Laser-equipped gas reaction chamber for probing environmentally sensitive materials at near atomic scale.

Numerous metallurgical and materials science applications depend on quantitative atomic-scale characterizations of environmentally-sensitive materials and their transient states. Studying the effect upon materials subjected to thermochemical treatments in specific gaseous atmospheres is of central importance for specifically studying a material's resistance to certain oxidative or hydrogen environments. It is also important for investigating catalytic materials, direct reduction of an oxide, particular surface science reactions or nanoparticle fabrication routes.

The LUCID study: living with ulcerative colitis; identifying the socioeconomic burden in Europe.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease with increasing prevalence worldwide. Current treatment strategies place considerable economic and humanistic burdens on patients. The aim of this study was to determine the socioeconomic burden of UC in adult patients in European countries in a real-world setting.

P031 Impact of Prior Biologic Exposure on Response to Ozanimod for Moderate-to-Severe Ulcerative Colitis in the Phase 3 True North Study.

Background: Ozanimod, an oral sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator selectively targeting S1P1 and S1P5, demonstrated superior efficacy and safety vs placebo for up to 52 weeks in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) in a phase 3 study (True North). In this post-hoc analysis, we evaluated the impact of prior biologic exposure on response to ozanimod.

Methods: True North consisted of two cohorts.

[Position paper on endoscopic reporting in IBD].

The complete and reliable documentation of endoscopic findings make up the crucial foundation for the treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn´s disease and ulcerative colitis. These findings are, on the one hand, a prerequisite for therapeutic decisions and, on the other hand, important as a tool for assessing the response to ongoing treatments. Endoscopic reports should, therefore, be recorded according to standardized criteria to ensure that the findings of different endoscopists can be adequately compared and that changes in the course of the disease can be traced back.

[First Cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome following SARS-CoV-2 infection in Adults in Germany].

Introduction:  Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome is a rare condition that affects multiple organs following SARS-CoV-2 infection. It was first observed in children, however few cases of adults with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-A) were published in the US and the UK. We present two cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in adults which occurred in Germany.

[A surgically relevant summary of the addendum to the S3 guidelines of the DGVS on Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis : Treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases in the COVID-19 pandemic].

In order to improve the care of patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the currently valid guidelines of the German Society for Gastroenterology, Digestive and Metabolic Diseases (DGVS) on Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis were extended within a virtual conference to include current and practically relevant recommendations. The addendum addresses in particular the risk of COVID-19 infections in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, the diagnostics under the conditions of the pandemic, the consequences for the pharmacotherapy and operative treatment of the underlying disease. It also addresses general measures for protection against infections and for adjunctive treatment of patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases.

Addendum to S3-Guidelines Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis: Management of Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the COVID-19 Pandemic - open questions and answers.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global outbreak of new onset infections with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. To date, more than 3.4 million people have been infected throughout the world.

Cryo-focused ion beam preparation of perovskite based solar cells for atom probe tomography.

Focused-ion beam lift-out and annular milling is the most common method used for obtaining site specific specimens for atom probe tomography (APT) experiments and transmission electron microscopy. However, one of the main limitations of this technique comes from the structural damage as well as chemical degradation caused by the beam of high-energy ions. These aspects are especially critical in highly-sensitive specimens.
