Clinical trials were vital tools to prove the effectiveness and safety of medications. To maximize generalizability, the study sample should represent the sample population and the target population. However, the clinical trial design tends to favor the evaluation of drug safety and procedure (i.e., internal validity) without clear knowledge of its penalty on trial generalizability (i.e., external validity). Alzheimer's Disease (AD) trials are known to have generalizability issues. Thus, in this study, we explore the effect of eligibility criteria on the AD severity patients and the severe adverse event (SAE) among the eligible patients.

Background: Ulcerative colitis patients who undergo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) without mucosectomy may develop inflammation of the rectal cuff (cuffitis). Treatment of cuffitis typically includes mesalamine suppositories or corticosteroids, but refractory cuffitis may necessitate advanced therapies or procedural interventions. This review aims to summarize the existing literature regarding treatments options for cuffitis.

Background: Novel colorectal cancer endoscopic surveillance techniques for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have recently been developed.
Aims: Compare the efficacy of currently available techniques for dysplasia detection in colonic IBD.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search from inception to March 2024 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or prospective cohort studies enrolling adults with IBD and having surveillance colonoscopy for dysplasia screening.
