Summary: Combination therapy with vedolizumab and thiopurines is associated with a lower risk of treatment failure compared to vedolizumab monotherapy in patients with CD, but the effect is less pronounced in UC.

Summary: This review discusses the differential regulation of miRNAs in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and their potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Through literature curation and computational analysis, a consensus set of differentially expressed miRNAs in mucosal tissues was obtained. The role of these miRNAs and their potential targets in IBD are highlighted.

Summary: Patients with longstanding inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are at high risk of developing intestinal cancers. This study found significant differences between intestinal cancers associated with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease-associated cancers were diagnosed at more advanced stages, detected less frequently by surveillance, and had a poorer prognosis compared to those associated with ulcerative colitis.

Summary: This study investigates the clinical features of isolated Crohn's colitis in pediatric patients, finding that the disease is characterized by extraintestinal manifestations, mainly joint involvement and perianal fistulas or abscesses requiring surgery and biologic therapy, which can influence treatment strategies.

Summary: This study investigates the associations of immunoglobulin A1 and A2 glycosylation with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Differences in IgA O- and N-glycosylation between patient groups were found to be associated with the diseases, and a statistical model was constructed to predict the disease group of the patients. These findings contribute to the development of noninvasive biomarkers for IBD and improvement in patient care.

Summary: While UC patients were more likely to have neoplasia detected during colonoscopy, the rates of progression from LGD and HGD to adenocarcinoma were equivalent in UC and CD, suggesting consistent endoscopic surveillance strategies for all IBD patients.

Summary: The incidence of pediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing worldwide, with the highest rates in Northern Europe and North America and the lowest rates in Southern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Most studies reported significant increases in incidence, while there is limited data on very early onset IBD.

Summary: This study examines the role of the microbiome in the onset of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Through analyzing the microbiota of nine IBD families, specific patterns of microbial taxa were identified among patients and their families. The results suggest a potential role of maternal factors in the establishment and modulation of the early life microbiome.

Summary: The study found that smoking was associated with an increased risk of ulcerative colitis, while offering potential protection against Crohn's disease. However, genetic evidence did not support a causal relationship between smoking intensity and the development of these inflammatory bowel diseases.

Summary: The study found that consuming unprocessed/minimally processed foods is associated with a lower risk of Crohn's disease, but not with the risk of ulcerative colitis.

Summary: The study found that Crohn's disease can develop postoperatively with an increasing cumulative incidence over time. Preoperative predictive factors are limited and should not determine candidacy for surgery. Most patients have favorable outcomes with medical therapy, while 16% of Crohn's disease patients require pouch removal.

Summary: In this study, the authors reported a large real-world experience with the use of upadacitinib in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. They found that upadacitinib was rapidly effective and safe, even in patients who had prior exposure to tofacitinib.

Summary: This study aimed to assess treatment patterns and dosing of biologics over 3 years in pediatric patients with UC or CD. The use of corticosteroids was common at the initial visit. Anti-TNFs were the most commonly used class of biologics, but the reported doses were higher than the standard guidelines.
