The article describes the main achievements in the study of Crohn's disease, first described as a disease of the terminal ileum, affecting mainly young people, characterized by subacute or chronic necrotizing and scarring inflammation. In subsequent years, the inflammatory disease was also detected in other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. This disease affects the entire intestine and can involve every part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus. The history of the study of Crohn's disease for 90 years has made it possible to delve deeply into the pathogenesis of inflammation, but has not yet come closer to revealing its etiology. Therefore, it is impossible to talk about the possibility of recovery from CD.

Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is the presence of somatic mutations in myeloid and lymphoid malignancy genes in the blood cells of individuals without a hematologic malignancy. Inflammation is hypothesized to be a key mediator in the progression of CHIP to hematologic malignancy and patients with CHIP have a high prevalence of inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and characteristics of CHIP in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Background: Although the precise cause of the co-occurrence of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is still unknown, prior research has shown that the two conditions coexist. Moreover, it is currently unknown how immune cells function in influencing the relationship between IBD and PG.
Methods: In order to choose independent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) as instrumental variables, we were provided with genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data of European populations from the IEU OpenGWAS project (for IBD) and a the FinnGen database (for PG) publically available.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explain the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), focusing on both adults and children.
Recent Findings: Malnutrition is common among IBD patients, affecting up to 85% of individuals, and is linked to higher rates of illness, death, and longer hospital stays. Recent studies highlight the importance of early detection using tools like the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and handgrip strength tests.

Intestinal tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that represents 10% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. It is known as the great mimicker due to its clinical presentation similar to other diseases such as Crohn's Disease or Neoplastic Intestinal Disease. Its diagnosis is complex, given the paucibacillary characteristic of the disease.

Background/aim: Spondyloarthritis (SpA), the most common extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is reported in up to 39% of patients with IBD. Despite this high prevalence, risk factors for developing SpA in patients with IBD are not well described. In this study, we aimed to determine the factors associated with SpA symptoms and their prevalence in an IBD cohort.
