Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory disorders, including Crohns’ disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), both characterized by a clinical relapsing course an immune-mediated pathogenesis [...]

van Langenberg DR, Yelland GW, et al. Cognitive impairment in Crohn’s disease is associated with systemic inflammation, symptom burden and sleep disturbance. United European Gastroenterology Journal 2017; 5(4):579587. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease may suffer from cognitive dysfunction in addition to symptoms of diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Common complaints include impaired concentr...

A 40-year-old woman had been diagnosed with Crohns disease in September 1994, but later examinations revealed a primary T-cell lymphoma of the colon. Colonoscopic and histological examination showed ulcerative lesions simulating Crohns disease involving the entire colon and the terminal ileum, and she was first diagnosed as having Crohns disease. Differential therapeutic strategies, including c...

Among 34 children diagnosed to have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) over past 8 years, 23 had Crohns disease and 11 had ulcerative colitis. Pediatric patients accounted for 7% of new cases of IBD seen annually. Median delay in diagnosis was 15 months. Nutritional impairment was significantly more common in Crohns disease.

Skin lesions are associated with Crohns disease (CD) in 22– 44% of patients. Metastatic Crohn's disease (MCD) is defined as granulomatous skin lesions occurring at sites separate from the gastrointestinal tract, mainly in the lower extremities and intertriginous areas.1 Genital MCD has been frequently described as refractory and usually begins as a non-healing ulcer, but can be shown as a papul...

Purpose: MR enterography (MRE) is one of the mainstays in the evaluation of Crohns disease (CD). A wide variety of studies have attempted to improve the sensitivity and specificity of MRE, all focusing on the evaluation of static images [1]. MRE however allows not only the static display of morphology, but can be combined with ultrafast scanning techniques (cineMRE) for analysis of bowel motili...

We propose a graph cut (GC) based approach for combining annotations from multiple experts and segmenting Crohns disease (CD) tissues in magnetic resonance (MR) images. Random forest (RF) based semi supervised learning (SSL) predicts missing expert labels while a novel self consistency (SC) score quantifies the reliability of each expert label and also serves as the penalty cost in a second ord...

This retrospective-medical-record review was conducted to evaluate effect of infliximab therapy, particularly with a top-down strategy, on the nutritional parameters of children with Crohns disease (CD). 42 patients who were diagnosed with Crohns disease at the Pediatric Gastroenterology center of a tertiary care teaching hospital and achieved remission at two months and one year after beginnin...
