A lifelong gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only treatment for celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders. Nevertheless, strict adherence to GFD often challenging due concerns about social isolation, risk of gluten contaminations, high cost, poor quality taste products. Moreover, although effective in achieving mucosal healing, it may lead dietary imbalances nutrient deficiencies over a long period time. To overcome these issues, several wheat flours have been developed create products...
Absence of neutrophils is the minimum standard to consider histological remission ulcerative colitis [UC]. The PICaSSO Histological Remission Index [PHRI] a new simple index for UC, based only on detection neutrophils. We evaluate PHRI's correlation with endoscopy and its prognostic value compared other established indices.
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in clinical and endoscopic remission may still experience relapse. Therefore, there is a need to identify outcome predictors. Recently, the role of neutrophils predicting outcomes ulcerative colitis (UC) has been highlighted. Furthermore, impairment intestinal barrier plays key forecasting IBD.
Abstract Background Incidence of ulcerative colitis (UC) in elderly population is increasing because ageing and its minimal impact on life span. Data natural history, outcomes therapeutic strategies are limited. Our aim to characterize UC elderly-onset patients followed at our Inflammatory Bowel Disease outpatient clinic compare with adult-onset UC. Methods From January 2000 June 2019, 94 diagnosed after the age 65 years (elderly group, E-O) were identified matched 1–1 according gender...
To characterize patients with APS type 4 among those affected by diagnosed and monitored at our local Reference Center for Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndromes.Monocentric observational retrospective study enrolling in a Center. Clinical records were retrieved analyzed.111 subjects (51 males) 4, mean age the onset was 23.1 ± 15.1 years. In 15 diagnosis of performed during first clinical evaluation, other 96 after latency 11 years (range 1-46). The most frequent diseases I diabetes mellitus...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increases risk of dysplasia and colorectal cancer. Advanced endoscopic techniques allow for the detection characterization IBD dysplastic lesions, but specialized training is not widely available. We aimed to develop validate an online platform improve colonic lesions in IBD: OPtical diagnosis Training Improve Characterization Bowel Disease (OPTIC-IBD).
Abstract Background In Italy, the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection peaked in April and November 2020, defining two pandemic waves coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study compared characteristics outcomes patients with inflammatory bowel (IBD) infections between waves. Methods Observational longitudinal IBD infection. Patients established diagnoses were consecutively enrolled periods: (i) first wave, from 1 March 2020 to 31 May 2020; (ii) second 15 September December 2020. Results We...
Aims Virtual Chromoendoscopy (VCE) has proven effective in predicting disease activity Ulcerative Colitis (UC), although challenges persist regarding local availability and expertise. Artificial intelligence (AI) models applied to VCE have demonstrated a remarkable ability rapidly, objectively, accurately predict inflammation. Nonetheless, training machine algorithms across different enhancement modalities remains challenging. Hence, this study pioneers novel model designed simultaneously...
Aims PSC colitis is associated with an increased risk of colorectal carcinoma. Endoscopic monitoring crucial since endoscopic and histological activity can persist in even during clinical remission. Recent evidence suggests that the presence barrier dysfunction may predict relapse quiescent patients. This study aims to assess mucosal healing evaluate potential outcomes by combining ultra-high magnification endocytoscope (ECS) intestinal protein markers.
