Unlocking the mind might be critical in management of eosinophilic esophagitis: Expanding beyond drugs, dilation, and diet
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND BIOMARKER POTENTIAL OF FATTY ACID ETHYL ESTER ELEVATION DURING ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS
The role of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) during human alcoholic pancreatitis is unknown. We compared FAEE levels to their non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) precursors during alcohol intoxication and clinical alcoholic pancreatitis. The pathophysiolo… Continue reading
AGR2-dependent nuclear import of RNA polymerase II constitutes a specific target of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in the context of wild-type p53
Promoted by pancreatitis, oncogenic KrasG12D triggers acinar cells’ neoplastic transformation through acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM) and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN). Agr2 (anterior gradient 2), a known inhibitor of p53, is detected … Continue reading

Systemic inflammation in pre-clinical ulcerative colitis
Pre-clinical ulcerative colitis is poorly defined. We aimed to characterize the pre-clinical systemic inflammation in ulcerative colitis, using a comprehensive set of proteins. Continue reading
Liver-resident bystander CD8+ T cells contribute to liver disease pathogenesis in chronic hepatitis D virus infection
The hepatitis D virus (HDV) causes the most severe form of chronic hepatitis, often progressing to cirrhosis within 5-10 years. There is no curative treatment and the mechanisms underlying the accelerated liver disease progression are unknown. Continue reading
Anti-microbial antibody response is associated with future onset of Crohn’s disease independent of biomarkers of altered gut barrier function, subclinical inflammation, and genetic risk
/Aim: Altered host immune reactivity to microbial antigens is hypothesized to trigger the onset of Crohn’s disease (CD). We aimed to assess whether increased serum anti-microbial antibody response in asymptomatic first-degree relatives (FDR) of CD pati… Continue reading
Comparison of culture with antibiogram to NGS using bacterial isolates and formalin fixed paraffin embedded gastric biopsies
The decline in Helicobacter pylori cure rates emphasizes the need for readily available methods to determine antimicrobial susceptibility. Continue reading
