Introduction: In patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), co-occurring spondyloarthritis (SpA) leads to poorer outcomes and impaired quality of life, highlighting the importance of early detection and effective treatment. This is the first study to assess the prevalence and distribution of axial symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-detected involvement of the spine and sacroiliac joints (SIJs) in early IBD.
Methods: Newly diagnosed patients with IBD from a prospective, population-based cohort were consecutively recruited.
Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, and a study has been launched in Denmark to explore their varied progression and treatment responses.
- The IBD Prognosis Study is a comprehensive, population-based research involving newly diagnosed IBD patients of all ages from a region covering around 1.05 million people, following strict diagnostic criteria for accurate identification.
- The study’s methods include regular clinical assessments, various imaging techniques, and systematic sample collection to analyze biomarkers, microbiome, and genetic information, alongside evaluating the impact of environmental factors and extraintestinal complications.
1.7 cm elongated Achilles tendon did not alter walking gait kinematics 4.5 years after non-surgical treatment.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the length of the Achilles tendon and any impact on movement after non-surgical treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture, with follow-up 4-5 years post-injury.
- Results showed that the injured tendon was 1.7 cm longer than the healthy tendon, but overall walking mechanics remained symmetrical despite a slight delay in heel lift on the injured side.
- Changes were noted in calf circumference, Achilles tendon resting angle, and passive ankle dorsiflexion on the injured leg, but no significant differences were found in foot pressure distribution patterns.
