Article Synopsis
- * A study of 520 adult patients showed that small abscesses (<30 mm) can be treated effectively with antibiotics, while larger abscesses require drainage methods, with surgical drainage being more effective but riskier.
- * Post-treatment, luminal resection lowers the risk of abscess recurrence within a year, but anti-TNF therapy shows similar effectiveness for preventing recurrences regardless of resection.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of switching from the adalimumab (ADA) originator to its biosimilars on treatment persistence, clinical efficacy, and safety in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
- A total of 524 patients were analyzed, with some maintaining the ADA originator and others switching to biosimilars, showing similar rates of treatment discontinuation and relapse between the two groups.
- The findings concluded that switching to ADA biosimilars did not negatively impact patient outcomes compared to continuing with the ADA originator.
