Article Synopsis
- Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors, specifically infliximab and adalimumab, are used to treat perianal fistulising Crohn's disease, but not all patients experience healing of their fistulas.
- A study involving 114 patients found that those who achieved fistula healing had significantly higher trough levels of both medications compared to those who did not.
- Infliximab therapy was linked to younger patient age and lower rates of anti-infliximab antibodies, while adalimumab showed a correlation with higher trough levels in healing outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study isolated and identified xylanase-producing fungi, focusing on Aspergillus niger derived from garden soil.
- The optimization of xylanase production was achieved using inexpensive substrates, with wheat bran being the most effective at 9.87 U/ml.
- The best conditions for enzyme production (12.65 U/ml) were found at 28°C after 6 days of incubation, highlighting the efficiency of A. niger for xylanase production.
