Introduction: The travelling community in England and Scotland may consist of between 150,000 and 500,000 members. In Scotland ethnicity codings for hospital admissions includes: Gypsies, Roma, Irish travellers and show people. Few Trusts in England break down codings for "Other British" in such detail.
Method: One hundred and thirty-two NHS Trusts were approached in England and 14 NHS Boards in Scotland through a Freedom of Information request to provide details of admission to hospital between 2016 and 2022 with ulcerative colitis and had undergone a panproctocolectomy and those with Crohn's disease and had undergone a hemicolectomy.
Results: Of the 132 NHS Trusts approached in England only 7 were able to provide data on hospital admissions for inflammatory bowel disease from this community; whereas in Scotland 13 of 14 did so. There were 1012 admissions with ulcerative colitis and based on the number of admissions per patient in Somerset NHS Foundation Trust this would represent 138 patients. In contrast, there were 901 admissions with Crohn's disease and at least 9 patients underwent a hemicolectomy.
Conclusion: The inadequacy of data collection related to this community is discussed.

Peripartum Mental Illness in Mothers With Multiple Sclerosis and Other Chronic Diseases in Ontario, Canada.
Neurology

Schools of Pharmacy and Public Health Sciences, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
Background And Objectives: Peripartum mood and anxiety disorders constitute the most frequent form of maternal morbidity in the general population, but little is known about peripartum mental illness in mothers with multiple sclerosis (MS). We compared the incidence and prevalence of peripartum mental illness among mothers with MS, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diabetes and women without these conditions.
Methods: Using linked population-based administrative health data from ON, Canada, we conducted a cohort study of mothers with MS, epilepsy, IBD, and diabetes and without these diseases (comparators) who had a live birth with index dates, defined as 1 year before conception, between 2002 and 2017.
The combination of and mitigates DSS-induced colitis and attenuates colitis-associated tumorigenesis by modulating gut microbiota and reducing CD8 T cells in mice.

Unlabelled: The gut microbiota is closely associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Probiotics such as (CB) or (AKK) have the potential to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or colorectal cancer (CRC). However, research on the combined therapeutic effects and immunomodulatory mechanisms of CB and AKK in treating IBD or CRC has never been studied.

Background/aims: Epidemiological data on mortality in autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs) are scarce. We examined all-cause and cancer-related mortality in individuals with AILD from Sweden.
Methods: We identified 9654 individuals with AILD (3342 with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), 3751 with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and 2561 with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)) using national Swedish registries between 2001 and 2020.
Plasma glucagon-like peptide-2 in cats with chronic enteropathies.

Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, USA.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare plasma glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) concentrations in cats with chronic enteropathies (CE) with those of healthy cats.
Methods: Nineteen client-owned cats with a histopathologic diagnosis of either idiopathic chronic enteropathy (CIE) or low-grade lymphoma and six healthy client-owned cats were enrolled in a prospective study between 2 December 2021 and 9 June 2023. Fasted and postprandial plasma GLP-2 concentrations were measured via ELISA in CE cats at the time gastrointestinal biopsies were obtained and before CE treatment.
Chronic enteropathy in dogs affects the quality of life in both dogs and their owners-are veterinarians proficient in handling the caregiver burden?
Front Vet Sci
January 2025
Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Denmark.
Introduction: Chronic disease is generally known to affect dogs' quality of life (QoL) as well as being associated with increased strain on their owners. Gastrointestinal (GI) disease is a common problem in companion animal practice, yet little is known about the QoL of dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE) and how their owners and veterinarians assess it.
Methods: The aim of this study was to explore: (i) how dog owners and veterinarians observed and evaluated QoL for dogs with chronic GI disease, (ii) how having a dog with CE affected the owner's QoL, and (iii) characteristics of the communication and relationship between the dog owner and veterinarian.
