Background: Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) has become a routine intestinal imaging examination for Crohn's disease (CD). Sufficient bowel preparation is fundamental for MRE.
Objectives: To compare the efficacy and compliance of bowel preparation between through a mid-gut tube and oral administration for MRE in CD.

Background: Screening for latent tuberculosis infection using Interferon-Gamma Release Assays is a routine procedure prior to the initiation of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) biotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy. However, indeterminate results are relatively frequent and are an obstacle to treatment initiation.
Aim: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to estimate the frequency of indeterminate QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus test results in Tunisian patients, and to analyze the potential clinico-biological risk factors associated with these indeterminate results.

On Behalf of the Transitional Care Unit Consortium, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: Advances in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for rare diseases result in greater survival rates, with on the flipside an expanding group of children with medical complexity (CMC).

However, an overview of needs and experiences of parents of CMC during transition from hospital-to-home (H2H) is lacking, which hampers the creation of a tailored H2H care pathway.

Background: Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a negative predictive factor for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in resectable oesogastric adenocarcinoma and a crucial determinant for immunotherapy. We aimed to evaluate reliability of dMMR/MSI status screening performed on preoperative endoscopic biopsies.
Methods: Paired pathological samples from biopsies and surgical specimen of oesogastric adenocarcinoma were retrospectively collected between 2009 and 2019.
