The goal of our survey is to value the microscopic colitis frequency at 150 patients, colliged on a period of 6 years (1997-2003), that have a chronic diarrhea with a normal total coloscopy and that benefitted of systematic biopsies. The microscopic colitis has been recovered at 44 patients on 150 either 29.3%. 16 of our patients (37%) are put on Salazopyrine, they answered well to the treatment with a receding of 3 years. The microscopic colitis is a pathology whose frequency seems under valued, it is certainly benign but can give a frequent diarrhea requiring a curative treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Malnutrition and low micronutrient levels are common in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), and this study examined how different vitamin B groups might help improve the condition.
- Experimental colitis was induced in rats, and both high and normal doses of several B vitamins were administered; results showed significant improvements in weight and ulceration measures following treatment.
- While most vitamins showed beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, pyridoxine was less effective in reducing UC symptoms, indicating a need for further research on the clinical implications of these findings.

Background And Aims: The advantages of endoscopic vs histologic assessments of inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease remain unclear. We compared endoscopic and histologic inflammation in a prospective cohort. Furthermore, in patients with discordant findings, we compared the ability of endoscopy vs histology to predict disease course.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced colitis is a significant adverse event associated with ICI therapy, known to be linked to increased cytotoxic T-cell activity.
Objectives: To compare T-cell subsets based on the endoscopic features of ICI-induced colitis and to compare these findings with those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Background: Recent biomedical research has shown the unusual, multisystem effects of coronavirus disease 2019 in humans. One specific sequela of a primary severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection is the reactivation of latent viruses in various tissues, such as Epstein-Barr virus. Epstein-Barr virus has been identified in many inflammatory gastrointestinal lesions, such as microscopic gastritides and colitides.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a major health problem on a global scale and its treatment is unsatisfactory. We aimed to investigate the effects of transauricular vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) on inflammation in rats with IBD induced by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). A total of 36 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were given TNBS, or vehicle, and tVNS, or sham, every other day for 30 min for 10 days.
