Objective: MR enteroclysis has been introduced in the workup of small-bowel diseases. The major advantage of this technique over others is the combined visualization of luminal, mural, and extramural abnormalities. In this article we propose an MR enteroclysis protocol, present a stepwise approach for evaluation of these examinations, and discuss the different inflammatory conditions that can be detected.
Conclusion: MR enteroclysis can be considered the current first-line imaging technique for inflammatory small-bowel disorders.

Ileo-ileal intussusception and necrotising enterocolitis after indomethacin exposure masquerading clinically as solitary intestinal perforation.

We report a case of small bowel perforation from ileo-ileal intussusception with necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) after indomethacin exposure mimicking spontaneous intestinal perforation in an extremely preterm neonate. Indomethacin exposure can cause mesenteric hypoperfusion, resulting in an ischaemic lead point for intussusception and NEC. We advocate that intussusception should be considered as one of the differentials for neonates with recurrent feeding intolerance postindomethacin exposure.

Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) affects the small intestine, leading to a progressive disappearance of intestinal villi, and can be found in association with several other autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and the clinical significance of anti-transglutaminase and anti-endomysium antibodies in patients diagnosed with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA).
Methods: We measured anti-transglutaminase and anti-endomysium antibodies in biobanked serum samples at inclusion in two French prospective multicenter cohorts of patients with suspected early rheumatoid arthritis (ESPOIR, n = 713) and spondyloarthritis (DESIR, n = 709).

Studying the molecular basis of intestinal infections caused by enteric pathogens at the tissue level is challenging, because most human intestinal infection models have limitations, and results obtained from animals may not reflect the human situation. Infections with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (STm) have different outcomes between organisms. 3D tissue modeling of primary human material provides alternatives to animal experimentation, but epithelial co-culture with immune cells remains difficult.

Objective: The noncompliance rate with routine or surveillance colonoscopies is high, and the underlying reasons remain unverified among Asian patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aimed to examine the perceptions of Asian patients with IBD regarding bowel preparation and colonoscopy and their attitudes toward the recommended intervals for colonoscopies.
Methods: Using data from one medical center between July 2020 and May 2022, we analyzed the perceptions of bowel preparation and colonoscopy and attitudes toward examination intervals among 94 patients with IBD (Crohn's disease, 41; ulcerative colitis, 53).

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a refractory inflammatory bowel disease with an unclear etiology. CircularRNA (circRNA) has been highlighted as a novel class of functional noncoding RNAs associated with the pathogenesis of various diseases. However, the functions of circRNA in CD remain unclear.
