We present the case of a 54 year old male complaining of abdominal pain localised in the right flank and irradiating in other abdominal regions. The pain was previously associated with kidney stones, but persisted months after their total evacuation. Suffering from Crohn's disease, low dose corticosteroids likely caused a particularly invalidating chronic prostatitis, which antibiotic treatment aggravated the symptoms of Crohn's disease, therefore complicating the therapeutic care by causing a vicious circle. Further epidemiological and microbiological studies are needed in order to establish an association between low dose steroid for Crohn's disease and chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Effectiveness and safety of adalimumab biosimilar in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Farm Hosp
January 2025
Servicio de Farmacia, Hospital Universitario La Plana, Castellón, España.
Background: Adalimumab biosimilar MSB11022 (Idacio®) has been approved for the same indications as its originator (Humira®), based on findings from clinical trials in plaque psoriasis. Data on its efficacy and safety in inflammatory bowel disease, however, are scarce.
Methods: Retrospective, observational study of 44 patients with inflammatory bowel disease: 30 were treated with originator adalimumab, five were directly started on MSB11022, and nine switched from originator to biosimilar adalimumab.
The CT findings of extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type involving the gastrointestinal tract.
Eur Radiol
January 2025
Department of Radiology, The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.
Objectives: To analyze the CT imaging features of extranodal natural killer/T (NK/T)-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL-NT) involving the gastrointestinal tract (GI), and to compare them with those of Crohn's disease (CD) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Materials And Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from 17 patients diagnosed with GI ENKTCL-NT, 68 patients with CD, and 47 patients with DLBCL. The CT findings of ENKTCL-NT were analyzed and compared with those of CD and DLBCL.
Comparative Improvement in Health-Related Quality of Life with Advanced Therapies for Moderate-to-Severe Crohn's Disease: A Network Meta-Analysis.
Am J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Zane Cohen Centre for Digestive Diseases, Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Sinai Health System, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background And Aims: The comparative efficacy of advanced therapies to improve health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in Crohn's disease (CD) is unknown. We aimed to compare the impact of approved advanced therapies for moderate-to-severe CD on HR-QoL.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception to December 2023.
The Role of Environmental Factors Prior to Diagnosis on the Activity and Severity of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases-Results From the Prospective Population-Based Copenhagen Inflammatory Bowel Disease Inception Cohort.
United European Gastroenterol J
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Copenhagen University Hospital - Herlev and Gentofte, Herlev, Denmark.
Background: The influence of environmental factors on the severity of early inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is unclear. Herein, we aimed to investigate the role of environmental factors in the initial phenotype, activity, and severity of IBD.
Methods: Copenhagen IBD Inception Cohort is a prospective population-based cohort of patients with newly diagnosed IBD between May 2021 and May 2023.
The diagnostic accuracy of plasma and serum calprotectin is inferior to C-reactive protein in patients with suspected Crohn's disease.
Scand J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Section of Gastroenterology, Esbjerg Hospital - University Hospital of Southern Denmark, Esbjerg, Denmark.
Background And Aims: Prior studies indicate that serum calprotectin (SC) and plasma calprotectin (PC) can be used as biomarkers in Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of SC and PC in patients with a clinical suspicion of CD.
Method: This biobank study included patients from a prospective, blinded, multicenter study examining minimally invasive modalities for diagnosing CD.
