Inflammatory bowel disease implicated in all-cause dementia risk

13 Aug 2022

Patients with both types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at risk of all-cause dementia risk, particularly frontotemporal dementia in Crohn’s disease patients, but this association may be attributed to frequent healthcare system contacts by patients with IBD detection bias, according to a study.

TNF-α antagonists superior to vedolizumab, ustekinumab for endoscopic healing in CD

10 Aug 2022 by

The tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) antagonist therapies adalimumab and infliximab are more effective than vedolizumab and ustekinumab in achieving endoscopic healing (EH) at 1 year among patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease (CD), a recent study has shown.

Gastric disease prevalence peaks during middle age, late adulthood

10 Aug 2022 by

There appears to be a twin-peak prevalence profile (TPP) for diseases of the stomach, including Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, gastric cancer (GC), gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (GIN), and gastritis, according to a recent China study. The first peak typically occurs during middle-adulthood while the second peak happens in late life.

Tenofovir in mothers plus HBIG in infants best prevent vertical HBV transmission

07 Aug 2022

For mothers with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection who are positive for both hepatitis B surface and envelope antigens, administering a combination of hepatitis B vaccine and immunoglobulin (HBIG) in their infants plus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in the mothers themselves appears to be the best approach for preventing vertical disease transmission, according to a study.
