Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a persistent ailment that impacts many individuals worldwide. The interaction between the immune system and gut microbiome is thought to influence IBD development. This study aimed to assess some microbiota in IBD patients compared to healthy individuals. The investigation involved a selected group of twenty patients suffering from IBD and an equal number of healthy participants. Stool specimens were obtained and analyzed for Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides, Clostridium leptum, Akkermansia muciniphila, Fusobacterium and Enterobacteriaceae using real-time PCR. The findings indicated significantly higher levels of Bifidobacterium in IBD patients (Pv = 0.009) and lower levels of A. muciniphila (Pv = 0.003) healthy individuals. Other bacteria tested did not show significant differences. The study suggests that the progression of IBD patients could be influenced by the rising of Bifidobacterium and the declining of A. muciniphila. Targeting these bacteria could lead to improved treatments and quality of life for those with IBD.

Background: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a novel biomarker studied in several autoimmune diseases including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in adults, but poorly characterized in pediatric IBD (pIBD). We aimed to primarily investigate the relationship between NLR and pIBD endoscopic disease severity. We also examined whether NLR predicted hospitalization, surgery, and therapy response by 52 weeks.

Objectives: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) results from genetic susceptibility, gut microbiome, and environmental factors. Diet, one modifiable environmental factor, has been linked to the increased prevalence of IBD. This study aimed to evaluate a potential association between food deserts and disease severity at diagnosis.

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, two types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), often cause anemia, primarily due to iron deficiency and chronic inflammation. Anemia negatively affects patients' daily functioning and quality of life, causing symptoms including headaches, exhaustion, and dyspnea. In IBD, iron deficiency arises from reduced intake, chronic blood loss, and impaired absorption.

Background: The prevalence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is higher than in the general population, in Latin America there is a progressive increase of UC, and information about CRC screening in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is scarce. The aim of this study was to analyze the findings of endoscopic surveillance of CRC in patients with IBD according to available technology.
Methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional, analytical study conducted in Latin American countries, in patients with UC, predominantly with more than 8 years of diagnosis and different degrees of disease activity.
