Background And Aims: Transmural healing, including as assessed by magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) has been associated with long-term favorable outcomes in Crohn's Disease (CD), but data concerning MRE improvement and normalization with therapy are sparse. We performed a prospective longitudinal study utilizing the recently developed pediatric MRE-based multi-item measure of inflammation (PICMI) to examine the efficacy of adalimumab (ADA) and immunomodulator (IM) in attaining improvement of transmural inflammation of the small intestine.
Methods: Pediatric patients with CD involving small bowel and initiating ADA or IM were prospectively enrolled and followed with repeat MRE at 1 year.
Article Synopsis
- * Physiochemical modifications, including treatment with hydrochloric acid and thermal processes, significantly improve CFA's adsorption capabilities, achieving up to 88% removal of organic carbon and demonstrating effective PFAS adsorption.
- * CFA shows a unique adsorption behavior, particularly for longer-chain PFAS, with a cost-effective profile, suggesting it could be a viable alternative to traditional carbon-based methods for treating landfill leachate.
Objectives: Severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) is the leading indication for a lung transplant in younger patients. Despite the availability of validated risk scores, their influence on lung allocation has been negligible, with continued reliance on decompensation and bridging with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).This single-centre, retrospective study assessed outcome of ECMO bridging in lung transplant for PH and evaluated short-term predictability of ECMO bridging.

- * A bibliometric analysis from 2008 to 2023 showed fluctuations in female authorship, with a peak in 2011 followed by declines and a more recent rebound by 2023.
- * Despite an overall increase in female authorship, significant disparities still exist in senior roles, highlighting the need for stronger policies to support women's advancement in IR.
The management of children with syndromes associated with an increased risk of benign and malignant neoplasms is a complex challenge for healthcare professionals. The 2023 AACR Childhood Cancer Predisposition Workshop provided updated consensus guidelines on cancer surveillance in these syndromes, aiming to improve early detection, intervention, and reduce morbidity associated with such neoplasms. In this paper, we review several of the rare conditions discussed in this workshop.
