Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is heterogenous group of inflammatory disorders characterized by chronic immune activation and inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, associated with numerous extraintestinal manifestations. Two most important forms are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis with several phenotypes. Etiopathogenesis of IBD is still unknown. Diagnostic and therapeutic approach of IBD is very complex and requires excellent knowledge of the clinical course and complications of the disease itself and therapy. The paper provides present therapeutic strategy with emphasis on the importance of mucosal healing and analysis of present knowledge of the role of biologics in the therapy of IBD.

Background And Aims: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are vital in assessing disease activity and treatment outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, manual extraction of these PROs from the free-text of clinical notes is burdensome. We aimed to improve data curation from free-text information in the electronic health record, making it more available for research and quality improvement.

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a widely utilized immunosuppressive medication to prevent organ rejection in transplant recipients and manage autoimmune diseases. While gastrointestinal side effects, such as diarrhea and abdominal discomfort, are common, fulminant colitis is a rare complication. This case report describes the occurrence of fulminant colitis in a 76-year-old renal transplant recipient.

The digitization of healthcare records has revolutionized medical research and patient care, with electronic health records (EHRs) containing a wealth of structured and unstructured data. Extracting valuable information from unstructured clinical text presents a significant challenge, necessitating automated tools for efficient data mining. Natural language processing (NLP) methods have been pivotal in this endeavor, aiming to extract crucial clinical concepts embedded within free-form text.

Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC), a form of inflammatory irritable bowel disease, is characterized by a recurrent and persistent nonspecific inflammatory response. Polydatin (PD), a natural stilbenoid polyphenol with potent properties, exhibits unexpected beneficial effects beyond its well-documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In this study, we presented evidence that PD confers protection against dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis.

Heat-stress-induced oxidative and inflammatory responses were important factors contributing to chicken intestinal damage. The purpose of this study was based on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Physalis Calyx seu Fructus (Jin Deng Long, JDL) to investigate its efficacy and mechanism in relieving chicken heat stress damage. Primary chicken embryo duodenum cells and 90 30-day-old specific-pathogen-free chicken were randomly divided into control and JDL groups to establish heat stress models and .
