PRELIMINARY EVIDENCE FOR A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEART RATE VARIABILITY AND FATIGUE IN PATIENTS WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE (IBD)

Heart Rate Variability (HRV), the variation in time between each heartbeat, is a proxy for vagus nerve function and validated indicator of cardiovascular health. Lower HRV is associated with increased risk of cardiac events and greater vulnerability to… Continue reading

EICOSATETRAYNOIC ACID REGULATES PRO-FIBROTIC PATHWAYS IN AN INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL DERIVED MACROPHAGE:HUMAN INTESTINAL ORGANOID MODEL OF ILEAL CROHN’S DISEASE

Biologics targeting TNF are the mainstay of therapy for children with Crohn’s Disease (CD). However, a subset of patients do not respond, progressing to intestinal fibrosis requiring surgical resection. Prior studies have defined an ileal gene expressi… Continue reading

Fibrosis Progression Rate in Biopsy-proven Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease among People with Diabetes versus People without Diabetes: A Multicenter Study

There are limited data regarding fibrosis progression in biopsy-proven nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), between people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) versus people without T2DM. We assessed the time to fibrosis progression in people with… Continue reading
