Injuries to branches of the superior mesenteric artery are unusual and often difficult to diagnose, yet require prompt recognition and treatment to prevent exsanguinating hemorrhage or bowel ischemia. This report describes a unique case of an ileocolic artery pseudoaneurysm diagnosed using delayed CT imaging and definitively treated by transcatheter embolization. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 48:217-219, 1999.

Medical trauma is a profound concern for those with chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially young adults. This trauma, arising from both the disease itself and necessary medical interventions, manifests as an accumulation of traumatic experiences impacting a patient's physical and psychological well-being. The Crohn's and Colitis Young Adults Network (CCYAN) conducted a roundtable discussion involving young adult IBD patients and healthcare professionals focused on medical trauma and its implications in the treatment of young adults with IBD.

We describe what appears to be the first reported case of chylothorax caused by chylous ascites in Crohn disease.

Background: Despite the growing evidence of an association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and psychiatric disorders, there has been limited research exploring the underlying mediating role of blood biomarkers on the gut-brain axis. This study aimed to examine the association between IBD and the risk of incident psychiatric disorders and investigate whether and how blood biomarkers mediate this association.
Methods: This prospective cohort study using data from the UK Biobank included participants without psychiatric diagnoses at baseline.

Psychosocial factors play an important role in the disease course and illness experience of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Consultation with a health psychologist is an important component of care for many IBD patients and provides an opportunity to identify areas of psychosocial concern, recognize coping deficits and strengths, and facilitate treatment recommendations. Psychosocial assessment in IBD requires a nuanced approach that goes beyond general mental health screening and considers the disease-specific concerns that impact patients.
