📈 H. pylori infection significantly elevates fecal calprotectin—often into ranges prompting IBD workup. HP+ kids had higher FC & were more likely to undergo colonoscopy. #pediatrics #pedsgi 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/jpn3.1…

Data from the VIEWS study by @dr_rupey et al shows VDZ efficacy score with high accuracy (AUC 0.89) for predicting clinical remission in UC 🎯 🎯 🎯 Read now @ bit.ly/3Sa2497

This is a wonderfully written and complete article: nature.com/articles/s4158… . Kudos to the entire team.

Dr Hirten - wearable devices can detect changes in sleep architecture, esp REM and light sleep, that are associated with and can anticipate inflammatory but NOT symptomatic flares in #IBD patients. Amenable to machine learning #DDW2025

In Lothian, UK (2004–2023), colectomy rates in UC fell sharply as advanced therapy use rose—colectomies dropped from 2.48 to 0.22 per 100 UC pts; first-line biologics up from 0 to 2.82%. Read the full paper in roypounder.apt (open access) via bit.ly/4nkmTx8 #IBD #UC #GITwitter

Excited to share our study using Apple Watches, fitbit & ŌURA in IBD. We found that inflammation-not symptoms-disrupts sleep. Sleep patterns change 45 days before/after flares, suggesting sleep could serve as an early signal of disease activity. 📄cghjournal.org/article/S1542-…

More to diet than evaluating nutrient intake - evaluating habitual dietary patterns and diet quality in IBD. A lovely review by Laura Portmann and team highlighting variability in indices that could be used Emma Halmos Jessica Fitzpatrick Rob Bryant mdpi.com/2072-6643/17/1…

Yes diet matters in managing #crohnsdisease. We may not have all the answers yet nor for all patient scenarios. But have a read of our study by the IBD Genetics Consortium where we identify specific micronutrients that are associated with recurrence after ileal resection surgery. Expertly
