Increasing evidence has linked obesity to complications of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, data are limited on the efficacy and impact of weight management strategies on the disease course. There are a strikingly limited number of interventional studies on weight management in patients with IBD, and the recent nutrition and IBD guidelines published in the United States do not mention weight management strategies. Overweight and obesity management in patients with IBD should follow a stepwise approach to assessment and treatment, including lifestyle modification, anti-obesity medications such as glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists, endobariatric procedures, and bariatric surgery (if deemed appropriate).

Severe esophageal strictures resulting from chemoradiotherapy pose persistent therapeutic challenges despite the availability of treatments such as endoscopic balloon dilation and medications. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has emerged as a promising treatment option for refractory radiation-induced injury to several organs. Herein, we present the case of a 79-year-old male patient with refractory radiation-induced ulcerative esophageal strictures after chemoradiotherapy.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), comprised of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), are chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Clinicians and patients must vigilantly manage these complex diseases over the course of the patient's lifetime to mitigate risks of the disease, surgical complications, progression to neoplasia, and complications from medical or surgical therapies. Over the past several decades, the armamentarium of IBD therapeutics has expanded; now with biologics and advanced small molecules complementing conventional drugs such as aminosalicylates, corticosteroids and thiopurines.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are severe complications of diabetes, posing significant health and societal challenges. Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and elevated glucose levels are primary factors affecting diabetic wound healing. Achieving effective treatment by reducing ROS alone is challenging, as high glucose levels continuously drive ROS production.

Background: Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC) can incur in complications. The impact of histological activity on the development of pouch-related complications is poorly studied.
Aim: To assess the association between histology and long-term outcomes in UC-IPAA.
