Mashup Score: 15Updated Reference Intervals for Alanine Aminotransferase in a Metabolically and Histologically Normal Population - 13 hour(s) ago
This study aims to reevaluate upper reference limit (URL) for alanine aminotransferase (ALT) by considering the changing epidemiology of major liver diseases. We employed histological and metabolic parameters in Asian living liver donors.

Mashup Score: 9Association of Ultra-processed Food and Unprocessed or Minimally Processed Food Consumption With Bowel Habits Among U.S. Adults - 5 day(s) ago
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) may have a negative impact on bowel habits. We aimed to assess the association between UPF and unprocessed or minimally processed food (MPF) intake and bowel habits among adults in the United States (U.S.).

Greater UPF intake is associated with increased odds of constipation. Greater MPF intake is associated with decreased odds of constipation https://t.co/xktL32J3w6 @ChunHanLoMDMPH https://t.co/0qcR5XqP3T

Mashup Score: 24Effects of Thiopurine Withdrawal on Vedolizumab-Treated Patients With Ulcerative Colitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial - 7 day(s) ago
The impact of thiopurine de-escalation while on vedolizumab versus continuing thiopurine therapy in ulcerative colitis (UC) is unclear. We aimed to determine the effect of thiopurine withdrawal for patients with UC in remission on vedolizumab.

Although thiopurines do not affect vedolizumab levels, there is a higher risk of relapse when de-escalating thiopurines from patients with #UC on vedolizumab if they have had prior anti-TNF exposure or histological activity at baseline https://t.co/ndrJ4rduTr @rupertleong https://t.co/mXR9abwcdp

Mashup Score: 13Risk of Kidney Failure in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Undergoing Colectomy: A Nationwide Cohort Study - 9 day(s) ago
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is frequently accompanied by kidney complications. Potential triggers or subpopulations at high-risk of kidney problems are not well-elucidated. We hypothesized that surgical interventions, specifically colectomy, might in part explain this risk.
Source: www.cghjournal.orgCategories: General Medicine News, GastroenterologyTweet-
Study reports that those undergoing colectomy were at a higher risk of both acute kidney injury and kidney failure, particularly following total colectomy or colectomy with a prolonged stoma https://t.co/9Xf86xCHCW @yuanhang_yang @jjcarrero1 https://t.co/QGbyvLp1n6

Mashup Score: 15Development and Validation of a Score to Assess Transmural Healing and Response in Patients With Crohn’s Disease - 12 day(s) ago
Because transmural healing (TH) could be the best therapeutic target in Crohn’s disease (CD), we aimed to build and validate a score to assess TH and transmural response (TR), and to confirm their association with favorable CD outcomes.

Mashup Score: 1Oral Antibiotic Use in Adulthood and Risk of Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer: A Case-Control Study - 13 day(s) ago
Prior antibiotic use may be a factor in the rising incidence of colorectal cancer seen in those under 50 years of age (early-onset colorectal cancer [EOCRC]); however, the few studies to examine this link have reported conflicting results. Therefore, we evaluated the association between oral antibiotic use in adulthood and EOCRC in a large integrated healthcare system in the United States.

Mashup Score: 9Preoperative Hepatology and Primary Care Visits Improve Postoperative Outcomes in Patients With Cirrhosis Undergoing Surgery - 14 day(s) ago
Cirrhosis patients are at increased risk for postoperative complications. It remains unclear whether preoperative nonsurgical clinician visits improve postoperative outcomes. We assessed the impact of preoperative primary care physician (PCP) and/or gastroenterologist/hepatologist (GI/Hep) visits on postoperative mortality in cirrhosis patients undergoing surgery and explored differences in medication changes and paracentesis rates as potential mediators.

Mashup Score: 7Harms of FIT screening outweigh benefits for those with no history of fecal hemoglobin - 15 day(s) ago
Individuals with no detectable hemoglobin in previously negative fecal immunochemical tests had a “significantly higher” harm-to-benefit ratio for screening, with researchers suggesting less intensive screening for this population. “We recently examined the predictive power of [fecal hemoglobin (f-HB)] levels and showed that f-Hb levels measured on two consecutive negative FITs

Mashup Score: 12Machine Learning–Based Models for Advanced Fibrosis and Cirrhosis Diagnosis in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients With Hepatic Steatosis - 19 day(s) ago
The global rise of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) superimposed on hepatic steatosis (HS) warrants noninvasive, precise tools for assessing fibrosis progression. This study leveraged machine learning (ML) to develop diagnostic models for advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis in this patient population.
