Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed data and conducted a literature review on myocarditis associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). It found that myocarditis in association with IBD is more common in young males and generally has a benign clinical course, but a subset of patients may develop giant cell myocarditis and require immunosuppression.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other comorbidities. IBD patients are at increased risk of developing atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and myocarditis. Certain medications have shown a protective effect against arterial events, but increased risk of venous thromboembolism and major cardiovascular events has been associated with specific drugs. CVD risk is slightly elevated during flares and proper risk profiling and management are important.

Summary: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by intestinal inflammation. The incidence of IBD is rapidly increasing in newly developed countries, making it a global concern. Two major types of IBD, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), have different manifestations and locations of inflammation in the digestive tract. Current FDA-approved treatments for IBD are only effective for 50% of patients and come with serious side effects, highlighting the need for safer and more effective therapies. Plant-based diets, such as the Mediterranean diet rich in anti-inflammatory phytochemicals, have shown benefits in preventing and improving symptoms of IBD. Terpenes, a class of phytochemicals abundant in Mediterranean herbs and citrus fruits, have been studied for their potential to modulate inflammatory signaling in IBD. However, there is still conflicting and inconclusive evidence regarding their effectiveness. This review evaluates preclinical studies on terpenes and their impact on basic inflammatory signaling in IBD.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which can be diagnosed through endoscopy and biopsy. However, these methods are expensive and invasive, so alternative noninvasive biomarkers are being explored for disease management and prognosis.

Summary: Biological therapy targeting tumor necrosis factor-alpha has become crucial in treating patients with inflammatory bowel disease, but high costs limit accessibility. Biosimilars offer the potential to reduce expenditures and increase availability, providing more options for patients.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by damage to the intestinal mucosa. Recent studies have shown the involvement of RNA modifications in the specific pathogenesis of IBD. RNA modification-targeting reagents have shown promising outcomes in treating colitis. Understanding RNA modifications in IBD could contribute to early diagnosis, disease monitoring, and innovative therapeutic approaches.

Summary: Primary non-response and secondary loss of response are still significant issues with current treatment options for inflammatory bowel disease, highlighting the need for new therapeutic choices. As our understanding of IBD pathogenesis advances, new therapeutic targets are being identified.

Summary: This article reviews the association between chronic inflammatory bowel disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. The mechanisms underlying this association may involve shared risk factors and pathophysiology. A multidisciplinary team is needed for optimal care.

Summary: This review summarizes the dermatologic manifestations occurring in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, including specific manifestations, cutaneous disorders associated with IBDs, reactive mucocutaneous manifestations of IBDs, mucocutaneous conditions secondary to treatment, and manifestations due to nutritional malabsorption. An accurate dermatological examination is crucial in all IBD patients, especially in candidates to biologic therapies where drug-induced cutaneous reactions may be clinically relevant.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic intestinal inflammation caused by various factors, with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis being the two major types. Most commonly used drugs for IBD have adverse reactions and limited long-term efficacy, leading to challenges in treating patients. Research suggests that natural compounds with anti-inflammatory activities could offer potential therapeutic strategies for IBD.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of auto-inflammatory disorders affecting the gastrointestinal tract and other organs. The gut microbiome and specifically bacteriophages, which can infect bacteria, play a role in IBD pathology. Phage therapy shows potential in eradicating pathobionts associated with IBD, but further research is needed.
