Background: There is a female predominance of diagnosed coeliac disease with sex-related differences in clinical presentation. Delayed menarche, infertility and pregnancy complications have been linked to poor nutritional status and autoimmune mechanisms, but women's health data in coeliac disease are scant and contradictory.
Aim: To describe rates of women's health disorders in US patients with coeliac disease.

- Arthritis is a common complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and this study examines how IBD may be linked to gout, noting changes in uric acid metabolism associated with the condition.
- Researchers analyzed a large database of patients across the US, identifying those with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) who also had gout, revealing significant associations between IBD types and gout occurrence.
- The findings indicate that both CD and UC are linked to higher gout risk, particularly in patients who've undergone intestinal resection, suggesting that new arthritis symptoms in IBD patients should prompt gout testing.
Compare overall survival (OS) between adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and analyze the effect of chemotherapy on OS. National Cancer Database was queried for patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma with isolated liver metastases between 2004 and 2016. We evaluated the OS and chemotherapy effect using Kaplan-Meier estimates and multivariable cox regression analyses.

Hypomethylating agents (HMAs) can be effective in these patients but responses are usually short-lived. The majority of patients will either have stable disease or progress through therapy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA variety of interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) have been described in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with possible etiologies including autoimmunity, drug related toxicity, and recurrent infections. A comprehensive study of ILD in MDS patients has not been previously performed. Out of 827 consecutive biopsy proven MDS patients seen at our institution from June 1970-May 2010, 18 (2%) were found to have ILD.
