Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are a common cause of drug-induced angioedema, which rarely affects the gut. We present a 32-year-old White woman with Crohn's disease on lisinopril experiencing 1 year of episodic abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, prompting multiple steroid tapers and a switch in biologic therapy. She was hospitalized and was profoundly hypotensive on arrival. Initial imaging showed marked small bowel wall thickening and free fluid in the abdomen. She had rapid symptomatic and radiographic improvement after only 24 hours and was diagnosed with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor-induced intestinal angioedema, an important Crohn's disease mimicker that may lead to unwanted management if unrecognized.

Background: Clostridium innocuum is a vancomycin-resistant pathobiome associated with poor clinical outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In ulcerative colitis (UC), it correlates with reduced remission rates, while in Crohn's disease (CD), it is linked to creeping fat formation and intestinal strictures. Notably, some patients experience refractory or recurrent C.

Mucosal healing is the mainstream goal of modern treat-to-target strategy as it is associated with a significantly more favorable disease course in IBD patients with either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Recent advances in endoscopic imaging technologies have overcome the traditional concept of mucosal healing assessed with conventional white light imaging, allowing for multiple levels of endoscopic healing up to the boundaries of molecular and functional evaluation. In this review, we focused on conventional and emerging strategies to assess endoscopic healing in ulcerative colitis and ileocolonic Crohn's disease, examining their pros and cons in real life practice.

Background: Home parenteral support (PS) is the standard treatment for chronic intestinal failure (CIF) with short bowel syndrome (SBS) as the leading cause. However, outcomes of PS in older patients remain poorly studied.
Methods: This retrospective observational study evaluated patients newly diagnosed with SBS-CIF initiating PS between 2015 and 2020 at a national French CIF referral center.

Department of Gastroenterology, The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, Luzhou, China.
Background: Observational studies have shown that ocular manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are common extraintinal manifestations, among which iridocyclitis, scleritis and episcleritis are the most common. However, whether there is a causal relationship between the two is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the causality of IBD on ocular manifestations using the mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
