Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease characterized by a chronic and recurrent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract caused by an interaction of genetic and environmental factors.
Objective: To compare the quality and acceptance of two different oral contrast volumes for computed tomography enterography in Crohn's disease patients.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 58 consecutive Crohn's disease patients who randomly received an oral contrast agent composed of 78.
Article Synopsis
- Adalimumab is a treatment for moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease but can trigger reactivation of latent infections like tuberculosis (TB).
- A case study of a 38-year-old patient revealed that after starting adalimumab, he developed pulmonary TB despite initial tests showing no latent infection.
- The report emphasizes the need for proper screening and monitoring for tuberculosis in patients undergoing anti-TNF therapy to prevent serious health complications.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects young people of reproductive age. Therefore, a broad discussion is needed about the possible disease effects in pregnancy, as well as the risks of fetal exposure to the medications used, especially biological therapy. This study aimed to describe the management of 4 Crohn's disease patients who received anti-TNF therapy during pregnancy and present a literature review.

Currently, studies have reported a probable link to oxidative stress, DNA damage and apoptosis induced by fluoride in rat hepatocytes. We developed an in vivo study administering three doses of fluoride by gavage given to rats for 60 day.
