This case report highlights a potential vaccine safety concern associated with the Pseudorabies virus (PRV) live vaccine, which warrants further investigation for comprehensive understanding. Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), a novel syndrome of adverse events following adenovirus vector COVID-19 vaccines, was observed after vaccination with Zoetis PR-VAC PLUS. This led to a 100% morbidity and high mortality among PRV-free Danish purebred pigs from Danish Genetics Co.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection typically affects immunocompromised individuals. However, CMV-associated enteritis involving the entire small intestine is rare in immunocompetent patients. We report a case of a 60-year-old immunocompetent woman with a history of diabetes mellitus who presented with diarrhea for 3 weeks.

Multiple chronic ulcers of the small intestine are primarily attributed to Crohn's disease. Other differential diagnoses include rare monogenic disorders caused by mutations in and , the latter responsible for chronic enteropathy associated with (CEAS), a condition mainly reported in Asian patients. We present the case of a 10-year-old girl from India with a 5-year history of abdominal pain, altered bowel habits and failure to gain weight.

Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis is the standard of care for patients with severe ulcerative colitis. We generated a cell-type-resolved transcriptional and epigenetic atlas of ileal pouches using scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq data from paired biopsy samples of the ileal pouch and the ileal segment above the pouch (pre-pouch) from patients (male=4, female=2), and paired biopsies of the terminal ileum and ascending colon from healthy individuals (male=3, female=3) serving as reference. Our study finds an additional population of absorptive and secretory epithelial cells within the pouch but not the pre-pouch.

Prostaglandin E receptor type 4 (EP4) agonists have been shown to be effective in treating experimental ulcerative colitis (UC) in animals and in human clinical trials, but their development has been impeded by unacceptable systemic side effects. In this study, a series of methylene phosphate prodrugs of a highly potent and selective prostaglandin EP4 receptor agonist were designed to target and remain localized in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract after either oral or rectal instillation. The prodrugs were designed to be converted to liberate active EP4 agonist by intestinal alkaline phosphate (IAP), a ubiquitous enzyme found at the luminal of the intestinal wall thus exposing the colon epithelial barrier while reducing systemic exposure to the active agonist.
