Article Abstract
Definitions of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) are given, related terminological problems are discussed, the prevalence of UC and CD in the population is considered along with their etiology, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, complications and extraintestinal (systemic) lesions. Classification and diagnostics of UC and CD are discussed with special reference to current international recommendations on their diagnostics and differential treatment, rejuvenation and extraintestinal lesions.

Increased medication utilization precedes incidentally diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease: a multicenter, case-control study.
Am J Gastroenterol
December 2024
Gastroenterology Department, Hospital Clínico Universitario de Santiago, Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
This study investigates whether subclinical inflammation in asymptomatic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients leads to increased medication use. In a multicenter, retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with incidental ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease during colorectal cancer screening (2010-2021), medication use was compared with symptomatic patients and healthy non-IBD controls. Asymptomatic patients showed a higher use of cardiovascular, antiparasitic, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and sensory organ medications up to five years before diagnosis.

Background & Objective: IBD fatigue aetiology is poorly understood. This study quantified body composition and physical function alongside proton magnetic resonance imaging (1H MRI) and spectroscopy (31P MRS) measures of organ structure and function in quiescent Crohn's Disease patients (CD) and healthy volunteers (HV), to identify a physiological basis for IBD fatigue.
Methods: Body composition was determined using DEXA and 1H MRI.

From the Department of Surgery (Aljiffry, Dahal, Baeisa, Alzahrani, Saleem, Alshahrany), from the Department of Medicine (Hijji, Alsahafi, Alghamdi, Mosli), from the Faculty of Medicine (Aljiffry, Daha, Baeisa, Alzahrani, Alshahrany, Hijji, Alsahafi, Saleem, Alghamdi, Mosli), King Abdulaziz University, from the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Research Group (Alsahafi, Mosli), and from the Gastrointestinal Oncology Unit (Saleem, Alghamdi), King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Objectives: To evaluate the features and frequency of hepatobiliary diseases in individuals with Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: This retrospective study included all IBD patients at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The primary focus was on the prevalence of hepatobiliary diseases, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), and others.
Cardiovascular events observed among patients in the etrasimod clinical programme: an integrated safety analysis of patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.
BMJ Open Gastroenterol
January 2025
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center and Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Objective: Etrasimod is an oral, once-daily, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). S1P receptor expression on cardiac cells is involved in cardiac conduction. We report cardiovascular treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) associated with S1P receptor modulators and other cardiovascular events in the etrasimod UC clinical programme.

Department of Surgery, Flevoziekenhuis, Almere, The Netherlands.
Background: The aim of this Delphi study was to reach consensus on a new clinical decision tool to help identify or exclude Crohn's disease (CD) in patients with perianal fistula(s) (PAF).
Methods: A panel of international experts in the field of proctology/Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) were invited to participate. In the first round (electronic survey), participants were asked to anonymously provide their opinion probing 1) the relevance and use of clinical characteristics suggestive of underlying CD, 2) the use of faecal calprotectin (FCP) for screening for CD and 3) on the diagnostic work-up for CD in PAF patients with raised clinical suspicion.
