Dramatic Increase in Incidence of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease (1988-2011): A Population-Based Study of French Adolescents.

Objectives: Few data are available to describe the changes in incidence of pediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to describe changes in incidence and phenotypic presentation of pediatric-onset IBD in northern France during a 24-year period.

Methods: Pediatric-onset IBD (<17 years) was issued from a population-based IBD study in France between 1988 and 2011.

[Neuroma of the common bile duct: a rare cause of jaundice].

We report a case of neuroma of the main bile duct arising twenty years after cholecystectomy. The patient, a 82-year-old woman, was admitted for jaundice. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography showed a regular stenosis of the main bile duct.

[Can the protein concentration of the ascitic fluid in ascites predict the occurrence of an infection?].

In cirrhotic patients, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is frequent and severe. This study was performed to determine if low protein concentration in ascitic fluid on admission could predict the occurrence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis during hospitalization. Ninety-two cirrhotic patients with ascites, without spontaneous bacterial peritonitis were studied.
