Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses chronic or remitting/relapsing inflammatory diseases of the intestinal tract, including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). The etiology of IBD involves disease susceptibility genes, environmental factors, and intestinal bacteria. Optimal management depends on evidence-based interventions tailored by physicians.

Summary: The introduction of biological agents, particularly anti-TNF agents, has significantly improved the long-term prognosis of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In pediatric populations, only two biological agents, infliximab (IFX) and adalimumab (ADL), have been approved for use. ADL has shown efficacy in achieving mucosal healing (MH) and histological remission in both naive patients and those who have previously received biologic treatment. Therapeutic drug monitoring may further enhance the effectiveness of ADL treatment and reduce treatment failure.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of chronic, incurable immune-mediated inflammatory diseases including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Current treatments are limited in efficacy and come with risks of serious side effects and other complications, necessitating the need for effective treatment options. The gut microbiota's role in maintaining health may increase susceptibility to IBD development.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the safety of biologics in elderly patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The results showed that there were no differences in adverse events and infection rates among different biologics in elderly patients. However, infusion/injection reactions were more common with anti-TNFs, and malignancy rates were higher with VDZ and UST.

Summary: In this study, it was found that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients treated with biologics were significantly less likely to undergo bowel resection when compared to those who never received biologics. This suggests that biologics may impact surgical rates in IBD patients.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) poses a global health threat with limited treatment options and poor therapeutic outcomes. Although biologics demonstrate more effective therapeutic mechanisms, their application is restricted due to stability and toxicity issues.

Summary: This review assesses the role of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), focusing on its implementation in different scenarios. TDM can help optimize the use of immunobiologics in the treatment of IBD patients, and is of great significance in clinical practice.

Summary: In this study, a large database was used to explore the association between celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the impact of IBD treatment. The results showed a bidirectional association between celiac disease and IBD, with a stronger association observed in Crohn's disease (CD). Patients with IBD who received corticosteroids, 5-aminosalicylates, immunomodulators, or anti-tumor necrosis factor drugs had a lower association with celiac disease. Additional research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms for the modification of celiac disease incidence by IBD therapy.

Summary: The safety of vedolizumab and ustekinumab therapies in older patients with inflammatory bowel disease was compared. The study found that there was no difference in terms of safety between vedolizumab and ustekinumab in patients with Crohn's disease. The occurrence of adverse events per year of follow-up was also similar between vedolizumab and anti-TNF therapy for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Summary: Dual biological therapy is a new therapeutic option that can be used safely and effectively in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, especially the combination of anti-TNF drugs with vedolizumab or ustekinumab may have significant benefits. Further studies are needed to clarify the potential advantages of combined biological therapies.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may be associated, but the relationship between the two is complex and requires further research. Biologic agents may have a potential therapeutic benefit for IBD-associated NAFLD, but their specific effects need to be clarified.

Summary: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is an important tool for determining the therapeutic efficacy of biologics in treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, its implementation in clinical practice faces challenges, and there is potential for proactive TDM to have a significant impact on the management of specific groups of IBD patients.

Summary: There is growing evidence of the involvement of vitamin D in immune regulation and gut barrier function, suggesting its critical role in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Vitamin D acts as an immunomodulator, alleviating inflammation, and contributing to intestinal homeostasis in IBD, highlighting its potential therapeutic value.

Summary: Histological assessment is important in the management and study of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but definitions and recognition of abnormal histological features are often inconsistent. The European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation (ECCO) formed an expert panel to explore and improve the quality of diagnosis by producing a series of consensus statements on histological features in IBD.

Summary: This study found that patients with high monocyte counts at the time of discontinuation were more likely to experience relapse after stopping biologics. The monocyte percentage can be used to predict the risk of relapse within 6 months after discontinuation.

Summary: The study found that over time, the countries/regions of origin of IMGs have shifted from mainly the UK and Ireland to Southern Asia, in line with demographic changes in Australia as a whole. Most IMGs arrived in Australia soon after graduation, and they are more likely than local graduates to work in rural areas facing a shortage of healthcare professionals. Additionally, compared with local graduates, more IMGs are working in general practice.
