Mashup Score: 1Sudden onset of multiple seborrhoeic keratoses in a patient with well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours of the gut - 10 month(s) ago
A 63-year-old man presented with an increasing number of pruritic, light to dark brown papules affecting his scalp, forehead and trunk (figure 1). The skin lesions started growing approximately 2 years prior. Clinical diagnosis of seborrhoeic keratoses (SK) was confirmed by histopathological examination (figure 2). Work-up of new intermittent dragging pain localised on the lower right abdominal…

Mashup Score: 2Activated regulatory T-cells promote duodenal bacterial translocation into necrotic areas in severe acute pancreatitis - 10 month(s) ago
Objective In acute pancreatitis (AP), bacterial translocation and subsequent infection of pancreatic necrosis are the main risk factors for severe disease and late death. Understanding how immunological host defence mechanisms fail to protect the intestinal barrier is of great importance in reducing the mortality risk of the disease. Here, we studied the role of the Treg/Th17 balance for…

Mashup Score: 3Helicobacter pylori promotes colorectal carcinogenesis by deregulating intestinal immunity and inducing a mucus-degrading microbiota signature - 10 month(s) ago
Objective Helicobacter pylori infection is the most prevalent bacterial infection worldwide. Besides being the most important risk factor for gastric cancer development, epidemiological data show that infected individuals harbour a nearly twofold increased risk to develop colorectal cancer (CRC). However, a direct causal and functional connection between H. pylori infection and colon cancer is…

Mashup Score: 5Rewiring the altered tryptophan metabolism as a novel therapeutic strategy in inflammatory bowel diseases - 10 month(s) ago
Objective The extent to which tryptophan (Trp) metabolism alterations explain or influence the outcome of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) is still unclear. However, several Trp metabolism end-products are essential to intestinal homeostasis. Here, we investigated the role of metabolites from the kynurenine pathway. Design Targeted quantitative metabolomics was performed in two large human IBD…

Mashup Score: 1Biopsy and blood-based molecular biomarker of inflammation in IBD - 10 month(s) ago
Objective IBD therapies and treatments are evolving to deeper levels of remission. Molecular measures of disease may augment current endpoints including the potential for less invasive assessments. Design Transcriptome analysis on 712 endoscopically defined inflamed (Inf) and 1778 non-inflamed (Non-Inf) intestinal biopsies (n=498 Crohn’s disease, n=421 UC and 243 controls) in the Mount Sinai…

Mashup Score: 0Standardisation of EUS-guided FNB technique for molecular profiling in pancreatic cancer: results of a randomised trial - 10 month(s) ago
As clinically actionable genomic lesions are found in almost 30% of pancreatic cancers that can potentially impact management, there has been increased focus on molecular profiling. Although tissue acquisition under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance is an established diagnostic method, procedural outcomes for comprehensive molecular profiling (CMP) have been variable. In a randomised trial, we…

Objective We present the final analysis results of the phase 2 JADE study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: [NCT03361956][1]). Design 232 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) not currently treated at study start (NCT) at study start or virologically suppressed were randomised to receive 75 mg (part 1) or 250 mg (part 2) JNJ-56136379, a hepatitis B virus (HBV)–capsid assembly modulator, one time…

Mashup Score: 0NAFLD and increased risk of cardiovascular disease: clinical associations, pathophysiological mechanisms and pharmacological implications - 10 month(s) ago
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a public health problem, affecting up to a third of the world’s adult population. Several cohort studies have consistently documented that NAFLD (especially in its more advanced forms) is associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality and that the leading causes of death among patients with NAFLD are cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), followed by…
