. Ocular extraintestinal manifestations (O-EIMs) are one of the most well-known EIMs in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aimed to identify the frequency of O-EIMs in children with IBD, referred to Mofid Children's Hospital, Tehran, Iran, during 2014 to 2019. . Children with IBD, younger than the age of 18 years, who were referred to an ophthalmologist, were included in this study. . Ninety-six patients with IBD were examined. Four patients had ocular manifestation of IBD. Two patients had complications due to treatment of IBD. The mean age of the patients was 11.25 ± 4.17 years (range: 5.5-17 years). The O-EIMs included 3 (50.0%) cases of anterior uveitis, 1 (16.7%) case of episcleritis, and 2 (33.3%) cases of posterior subcapsular cataract. . O-EIMs are important in children with IBD. Therefore, it is recommended that annual screening for ocular complications be performed in all children with IBD.

Inflammatory bowel diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prz Gastroenterol

September 2024

Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Feeding Disorders and Paediatrics, The Children's Memorial Health Institute, Warsaw, Poland.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the safety of those with compromised immune systems and chronic disease has been of particular concern for health care providers. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic, incurable conditions of digestive system with unknown aetiology, but one of the causes is disordered immune response. Medical therapies most frequently used in IBD are immune suppressing or modifying with the rising use of biologic treatment.

Genetic correlation, pleiotropic loci and shared risk genes between major depressive disorder and gastrointestinal tract disorders.

J Affect Disord

January 2025

Healthy Food Evaluation Research Center, West China School of Public Health and West China Fourth Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China; Food Safety Monitoring and Risk Assessment Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Chengdu 610041, China. Electronic address:

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders, while genetic correlation, pleiotropic loci and shared risk genes remain to be explored.

Methods: Leveraging genome-wide association study statistics for MDD (n = 170,756), peptic ulcer disease (PUD; n = 16,666), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD; n = 54,854), PUD and/or GORD and/or medications (PGM; n = 90,175), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS; n = 28,518), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; n = 7045), we determined global and local genetic correlations, identified pleiotropic loci, performed gene-level evaluations, and inferred causal associations using bidirectional Mendelian randomization.

Results: We found global correlation of MDD with PUD (r = 0.

Chronic gastrointestinal disorders often involve nutritional management strategies. On the one hand, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a condition in which most of the patients experience frequent diet manipulation in order to obtain long term remission. On the other hand, for celiac disease (CelD), diet is the only known treatment strategy so far, requiring a life-long gluten-free diet.

Maintenance treatment with vedolizumab in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (VEDOKIDS): 54-week outcomes of a multicentre, prospective, cohort study.

Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol

January 2025

The Juliet Keidan Institute of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, The Eisenberg R&D Authority, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel. Electronic address:

Background: Infliximab and adalimumab are the only biologics thus far approved for paediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), so other biologics, such as vedolizumab, are prescribed off-label. Despite its frequent use, prospective data for vedolizumab treatment in children are available only for short-term induction outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of maintenance therapy with vedolizumab in paediatric patients with IBD.

Health-Care Utilization of Children Born to Women with and Without Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the First Five Years of Life: A Population-Cohort Study.

Am J Gastroenterol

December 2024

Mount Sinai Centre for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, CANADA.

Background: Children born to women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may have increased healthcare utilization in early life due to genetic susceptibilities and exposure to inflammation in utero, though this has not been robustly evaluated. We aimed to characterize healthcare use between these groups.

Methods: We accessed province-wide health administrative databases to identify children born to women with and without IBD between 2002-2019.
