Background And Aims: Probe-based confocal endomicroscopy (pCLE) allows real-time microscopic visualization of the intestinal mucosa surface layers. Despite remission achieved through anti-tumor necrosis factor or vedolizumab therapy, anomalies in the intestinal epithelial barrier are observed in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Our study aimed to assess these abnormalities in non-IBD individuals and compare them with IBD patients in endoscopic remission to identify the associated factors.

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of death worldwide. We have shown that pressure overload (PO)-induced inflammatory cell recruitment leads to heart failure in IL-10 knockout (KO) mice. However, it's unclear if PO-induced inflammatory cells also target the gut mucosa, causing gut dysbiosis and leakage.

Colonic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), excluding rectal NETs, are often described as relatively common and aggressive, with inferior median survival compared with other gastrointestinal (GI) primary sites. However, epidemiological databases may conflate well-differentiated NETs with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs), leading to a lack of precise data on the prevalence, clinical behavior, and prognosis of well-differentiated colonic NETs. We analyzed a large institutional database to identify patients with well-differentiated NETs originating in the colon, excluding rectal NETs.

Background: Early anal canal cancer is frequently treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to preserve anal function. However, if the lesion is in the anal canal, then significant difficulties such as bleeding and challenges associated with scope manipulation can arise.
Case Summary: A 70-year-old woman undergoing follow-up after transverse colon cancer surgery was diagnosed with anal canal cancer extending to the dentate line.
