Article Synopsis
- Chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs) are increasingly challenging for healthcare, with many patients responding poorly to biological treatments, leading to interest in dietary changes, particularly gluten-free diets.
- This study explored the effect of gluten intake on the clinical response to biological treatment over 14-16 weeks in 193 CID patients, comparing those with high gluten intake to those with low-to-medium intake.
- Results showed no significant differences in treatment response or secondary outcomes, indicating that gluten intake does not influence the effectiveness of biological therapy in patients with CIDs.
Effects of smoking on clinical treatment outcomes amongst patients with chronic inflammatory diseases initiating biologics: secondary analyses of the prospective BELIEVE cohort study.

The prevalence and disease burden of chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs) are predicted to rise. Patients are commonly treated with biological agents, but the individual treatment responses vary, warranting further research into optimizing treatment strategies. This study aimed to compare the clinical treatment responses in patients with CIDs initiating biologic therapy based on smoking status, a notorious risk factor in CIDs.

Human milk is rich in sialic acid and preterm infants may benefit from supplementing formula with sialyllactose to support neurodevelopment. Using pigs as models, we hypothesized that sialyllactose supplementation improves brain development after preterm birth.
