Background: Early life factors for inflammatory bowel disease are likely to impact the gut microbiota.
Aim: We investigated the associations between early exposures and inflammatory bowel disease.
Methods: This case-control study was nested within the CO·MMUNITY cohort.
Background: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination, primarily administered to prevent tuberculosis, exhibits nonspecific immune effects and could play a role in inflammatory bowel disease prevention. We investigated the associations of BCG with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and assessed sex-differences.
Methods: This two-stage study included 365,206 Canadians from the Quebec Birth Cohort on Immunity and Health (1970-2014; stage 1).
Introduction: many young people globally grapple with early pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STD), especially in regions like Africa and particularly Niger due to high poverty rates. Various sexual and reproductive health (SRH) projects aim to address these challenges. This study evaluated the JADES 2 project's implementation of SRH services provided focusing on the quality of these services in Niger in 2021.

This study investigated the associations between appendectomy and incidence of Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC), with an emphasis on the influence of age and time post appendectomy.
Methods: This cohort study included 400 520 subjects born in Québec in 1970-1974 and followed until 2014.
