Article Synopsis
- - Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are diverse tumors from neuroendocrine cells, with about 30% causing hormone-related syndromes that can significantly impact patient health beyond the tumor size itself.
- - A 49-year-old male patient with an ileal NEN exhibited concurrent VIP and serotonin release, leading to a severe diarrhea syndrome after receiving peptide-radio-receptor therapy, despite ongoing medical treatments.
- - As traditional treatment options were no longer effective, an off-label use of racecadotril helped manage the patient's condition, allowing him to leave the ICU after five days of treatment.

Article Synopsis
- A study found that patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) experience significant respiratory issues, particularly when their IBD is active.
- The research involved 92 IBD patients and 20 healthy controls, highlighting that active IBD is associated with lower pulmonary function test (PFT) results compared to those in remission and healthy subjects.
- Treatment with anti-TNF medications improved pulmonary function, indicating that respiratory issues in IBD patients may often be overlooked due to the focus on intestinal symptoms.
