Aims: To assess maternal and neonatal outcomes in patients with IBD treated with ustekinumab (UST) during pregnancy METHODS: In a multicentre, prospective cohort study, we recruited women with IBD treated with UST during pregnancy between 2019 and 2021. Outcomes were compared among patients treated with UST, anti-tumour necrosis factor α, (anti-TNF) and non-UST, non-anti-TNF therapies.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined the effectiveness of biologic early prophylaxis for preventing endoscopic post-operative recurrence (ePOR) in Crohn's disease patients after ileocecal resection (ICR).
- It included 297 patients and found that ePOR occurred in about 41.8% of cases within one year, with varying rates across treatment groups: 40.2% for anti-TNF, 33% for vedolizumab (VDZ), and 61.8% for ustekinumab (UST).
- The results indicated no significant differences in ePOR risk between the anti-TNF therapy and the other biologics after adjusting for patient factors, suggesting early prevention was effective for around 60% of patients regardless of
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease marked by progressive disability and decreased mobility over time. We studied whether individuals with MS of higher disability levels will be more overweight/obese as a result of their immobility and/or recurrent steroid treatments. In a prospective study, 130 individuals with MS and significant disability were classified according to the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score as belonging to four groups: EDSS 3.

Duodenal Switch procedure is a type of bariatric surgery that was reserved for severely morbid obese people. Patients undergoing this procedure are at high risk for nutrient deficiencies. In this report we present a case of a patient who had developed polyneuropathy, generalized muscle weakness, Wernicke encephalopathy, myocardial dysfunction and pericardial effusion six years following this operation.
