Summary: The incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has increased and its etiology remains unknown. Risk factors, including food intake, are associated with developing IBD. Functional foods (FF) can modulate the gut microbiota and improve the health quality of IBD patients.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract that mainly affects young people. Recent studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of IBD.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a chronic intestinal inflammation with an unknown cause. Innate immune cells (IICs), such as neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, play a crucial role in defending against pathogens and maintaining immune tolerance. An imbalance in the innate immune response is closely linked to intestinal inflammation and IBD. Understanding the mechanisms and interactions of IICs with other immune cells is essential for developing effective therapies for IBD patients.

Summary: The study found that exposure to biologic, thiopurine, or combination therapy during pregnancy did not increase adverse maternal or fetal outcomes, and these treatments can be continued throughout pregnancy for women with IBD to maintain disease control.

Summary: Long COVID is common in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), with fatigue being the most frequent symptom. It does not influence the frequency of IBD relapses, but is more prevalent in female patients.

Summary: The study systematically identified ultrasound scoring indices for assessing inflammatory bowel disease activity, with common components including bowel wall thickness, colour Doppler imaging, and bowel wall stratification. The correlation between ultrasound indices and reference standards, as well as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and other properties, varied within certain ranges. However, reliability and responsiveness data were limited, and most studies were rated with unclear or high risk of bias.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract with periods of remission and relapses. The etiopathogenesis is not fully understood, leading to only symptomatic treatment. There is a constant need to search for new high safety profile therapies for IBD.

Summary: This article discusses the pathophysiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), focusing on the roles of genetics, environmental triggers, and the immune system in disease development and progression. It also covers current treatment options for IBD and explores the utility of disease modeling techniques, such as organoids and organ-on-a-chip devices, in studying IBD pathophysiology and evaluating potential therapies.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a core outcome set for real-world studies in adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Candidate outcomes and outcome measures were identified through a systematic review and a modified Delphi consensus process. The international panel agreed on the final core outcome set, which will facilitate the synthesis and generation of real-world evidence.

Summary: The SPIRIT consensus group has agreed that the ultimate therapeutic goal in both CD and UC is to prevent disease impact on patients' lives, including health-related quality of life, disability, and fecal incontinence, as well as prevent complications in the short and long term, such as bowel damage, surgeries, disease extension, extraintestinal manifestations, and dysplasia or cancer. These recommendations will need to be validated in clinical studies before being implemented in disease-modification trials.

Summary: This study replicated a machine-learning model's ability to predict acute exacerbations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in a nationally representative cohort, with the random forest model outperforming the logistic regression model.

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: The aim of this study was to validate the content of IBD-Disk in a Greek cohort of IBD patients. The results showed good correlation and consistency between the scores of IBD-Disk and IBD-DI at baseline and follow-up. Female gender and extraintestinal manifestations were significantly associated with a higher IBD-Disk total score. Therefore, the Greek version of IBD-Disk was proven to be a reliable and valid tool for assessing IBD-related disability.
