Aseptic Liver Abscess in a Patient With Diversion Colitis.

Aseptic abscess syndrome is a rare clinical entity mainly associated with systemic inflammatory conditions, particularly inflammatory bowel disease. The syndrome is characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate predominantly consisting of neutrophils, most commonly in the liver and spleen. We present a case of a patient with symptomatic diversion colitis diagnosed with a clinical and histological presentation consistent with aseptic abscess syndrome of the liver.

Development and validation of a prediction model for histologic progression in patients with nondysplastic Barrett's esophagus.

Objectives: Patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) are at risk of progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We developed a model to predict histologic progression in patients with nondysplastic BE (NDBE).

Methods: A longitudinal study in three referral centers was performed between January 2010 and December 2019.

Mesenteric panniculitis is associated with cardiovascular risk-factors: A case-control study.

Background: This study evaluated the prevalence of cardiovascular risk-factors in patients with mesenteric panniculitis.

Aims: To determine whether cardiovascular risk-factors and mesenteric panniculitis are associated.

Methods: Retrospective, matched case-control study of patients referred to Meir Medical Center, Israel, 2014-2019, who underwent computerized tomography scan, were diagnosed mesenteric panniculitis by radiologic criteria.

Cannabis is associated with clinical but not endoscopic remission in ulcerative colitis: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Cannabis is often used by patients with ulcerative colitis, but controlled studies are few. We aimed to assess the effect of cannabis in improving clinical and inflammatory outcomes in ulcerative colitis patients.

Methods: In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, patients received either cigarettes containing 0.
