RISK OF ADVERSE OUTCOMES IN HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS WITH AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE AND COVID-19: A MATCHED COHORT STUDY FROM NEW YORK CITY
To examine the impact of autoimmune disease on the composite outcome of intensive care unit admission, intubation, or death, from COVID-19 in hospitalized patients. Continue reading
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF A FRET-BASED IMMUNOASSAY FOR QUANTITATION OF ADALIMUMAB ON A POINT-OF-CARE INSTRUMENT SYSTEM

EXPLORING THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH DECISION EXPERIENCES AND PREFERENCES OF WOMEN WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES
Women with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, have normal fertility and can have healthy pregnancies and children. However, many have fewer children than the general population, with up to a third of women… Continue reading
THE TIGHT JUNCTION PROTEIN ZO-1 REGULATES MITOTIC SPINDLE ORIENTATION TO ENABLE EFFICIENT MUCOSAL REPAIR
The intestinal damage can be caused by physical, infectious, and immune-mediated injury. Rapid repair, which is essential for a return to mucosal homeostasis, depends on rapid epithelial migration, i.e., restitution, as well as epithelial proliferation… Continue reading
TWISTED POUCH SYNDROME – A DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE MECHANICAL COMPLICATION OF ILEAL POUCH-ANAL ANASTOMOSIS: OUTCOMES AFTER REDO POUCH PROCEDURES
Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is a technically demanding procedure. Intraoperatively, great care must be taken to assure a straight superior mesenteric axis. Rarely, twisted pouches are inadvertently constructed, resulting in deviations of expect… Continue reading
AN AUTOPHAGY PROTEIN ATG16L1 PREVENTS NECROPTOSIS BY REGULATING INTERFERON SIGNALING IN THE INTESTINAL EPITHELIUM
ATG16L1, an essential component of autophagy, is one of the susceptibility genes of Crohn’s disease. We previously showed mice with decreased expression of Atg16L1 and Crohn’s disease patients homozygous for ATG16L1T300A risk alleles develop Paneth cel… Continue reading
MODERATE TO SEVERE ENDOSCOPIC INFLAMMATION IS FREQUENT AFTER ACHIEVING CLINICAL REMISSION IN PEDIATRIC ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by low sustained remission rates and frequent extension of disease even if clinical remission is obtained with therapy. Moderate to severe endoscopic activity is a risk factor for relapse while evidenc… Continue reading
MACHINE LEARNING FOR CROHN’S DISEASE PHENOTYPE MODELING USING BIOPSY IMAGES
Predicting Crohn’s disease (CD) phenotype development has proven challenging due to difficulties in biopsy image interpretation of histologically similar yet biologically distinct phenotypes. At initial diagnosis, mostly CD patients are classified as B… Continue reading
RISK FACTORS FOR OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS WITH HISTOLOGICALLY PROVEN CHECKPOINT-INHIBITOR COLITIS
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICPI)-mediated diarrhea and colitis is the leading cause of discontinuation of ICPI therapy in patients with malignancy. Existing literature on predictors of adverse outcomes is limited. We evaluated the association between… Continue reading
DIETARY FIBER DEPRIVATION QUELLS COLONIC INFLAMMATION BY TARGETING GUT PATHOBIONTS IN A NEW MODEL OF CROHN’S DISEASE
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disorder that results from a dysregulated mucosal immune response to symbiotic bacteria in genetically susceptible individuals. While genetic predispositions to CD have been well documented, the… Continue reading
