| The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans: A Pediatric Review of Recommendations for Children Under 5 Years.
Specific warnings against unpasteurized dairy products are not present and the guidance had inconsistencies around handling of allergenic foods. Moving forward, guideline development for small children should be undertaken with a high level of transparency and involvement of pediatricians and should fully incorporate key aspects of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee's scientific work reviewing early childhood nutrition. |

| Safety of advanced therapies in pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease: a systematic review and Meta-Analysis.
Advanced IBD therapies demonstrate an overall favorable safety profile. Active disease, older maternal age, and longer disease duration were significant predictors of complications. Associations with third-trimester exposure do not support routine discontinuation, as this likely reflects underlying disease severity rather than treatment effect, reinforcing the priority of maintaining remission during pregnancy. |
| Transperineal ultrasonography in detecting penetrating perianal disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TPUS demonstrates high accuracy in detecting perianal fistulas and abscesses, supporting its use as a non-invasive, first-line diagnostic tool. |

| Baseline body mass index modifies the effects of digital health interventions versus usual care on cardiovascular risk in people with type 2 diabetes: a secondary analysis of the SMARTDiabetes trial.
Digital health interventions had heterogeneous effects on reducing cardiovascular risk and were only effective among people with a normal baseline BMI. Digital health interventions should be tailored to better suit the needs for people with T2DM and elevated BMI. Registration id NCT02726100, URL |
| Comparative efficacy of biweekly preventive supplementation, with multiple micronutrients and iron folic acid (IFA) or IFA alone, on hemoglobin concentrations and anemia prevalence in children aged 6 to 59 months: a randomized controlled trial in rural India.
Biweekly supplementation with MMN plus IFA resulted in a modest increase in hemoglobin levels, and a relative reduction in anemia prevalence compared to IFA alone, particularly in older children. Lack of improvement in biochemical markers and small rise in hemoglobin concentrations suggest that reduction in prevalence of anemia may be driven by shifts near diagnostic thresholds, rather than meaningful physiological benefits. MMN adds minimal value where IFA adherence is already high. |
| Consumption of organic versus conventional fruits and vegetables in relation to cancer risk: findings from the NutriNet-Santé cohort study.
In the present work, substituting conventional F&V with organic ones was associated with a reduced risk of postmenopausal cancer. The specific role of organic F&V compared to conventional F&V needs further investigation in other contexts. The NutriNet-Santé cohort is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03335644), information is available at |
| Diabetes modifies the association between magnesium and insomnia, but not depressive symptomatology, in Puerto Rican adults: A prospective cohort study.
Higher Mg intake was associated with lower odds of insomnia symptoms in Puerto Rican adults without diabetes. Further research is needed to investigate the role of diabetes in the Mg-sleep association. |
| Inflamm Bowel Dis |
| Discordant Clostridioides difficile testing as a predictor of inflammatory bowel disease therapy escalation.
Elevated CRP may help distinguish true CDI in IBD. PCR+/TOX+ patients typically respond to CDI-directed therapy, whereas PCR+/TOX- patients more often require escalation of IBD treatment, suggesting noninfectious inflammation as the primary driver of symptoms. |
| Disease reprogression following surgical resection in Crohn disease.
Recurrence of stricturing or penetrating complications following an initial ileocecal resection is independent of preoperative phenotype in CD under contemporary CD management. |
| Enhancing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) competency in gastroenterology fellowship through traditional, digital, and experiential learning pathways.
Additionally, it underscores the importance of mentorship, leadership development, and institutional support from program directors in fostering individualized IBD training tracks. By integrating traditional educational foundations with innovative, accessible non-traditional resources and platforms, this guide positions IBD training within a framework of inclusivity, equity, and lifelong learning. |

| Early intestinal ultrasound findings predict remission and treatment response at 1 year in pediatric Crohn's disease.
IUS correlated strongly with endoscopy in pediatric Crohn's disease over 1 year, with increased BWT being associated with a higher risk of ileocecal resection and not achieving remission. Thickened (inflamed) bowel became significantly thinner as soon as 1 month. BWT in pediatric patients in remission was significantly lower (≤2.5 mm) than in adults (≤3-4 mm). |
| Filgotinib treatment modulates frequency and gene expression of circulating immune cell subsets in ulcerative colitis.
Filgotinib response was associated with normalization of the cellular frequency and gene expression levels of B cells and phagocytic mononuclear cells in UC patients, resulting in immune profiles resembling those of healthy controls. |
| Influence of vedolizumab on extraintestinal manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease: a nationwide multicenter study of the GETECCU ENEIDA Registry.
VDZ achieved clinical response of active EIMs in nearly one-third of patients after 3 months. Although infrequent, VDZ may exacerbate inactive EIMs and induce de novo EIMs during therapy, potentially leading to treatment discontinuation. |
| Personalized infliximab rescue therapy to maximize colectomy-free survival in patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis.
We developed a model-based dose-exposure-response framework to predict colectomy risk in ASUC. We integrated the algorithm into an interactive tool to enable individualized infliximab rescue therapy. |
| Transcriptomic profiling of fecal aspirates as a tool for prediction of endoscopic inflammation in small bowel Crohn's disease.
Transcriptomic profiling of rectal fecal aspirates reliably detects small bowel inflammation and identifies specific immune pathways in asymptomatic CD. The resulting models offer potential biomarkers for CD diagnosis and monitoring. |

| Beyond rejection risk: Identifying ideal candidates for Pre-transplant immune checkpoint inhibitors for hepatocellular carcinoma.
The duration of ICI treatment prior to liver transplantation is a critical factor influencing HCC recurrence risk, with an optimal treatment duration of more than 80 days. Furthermore, a confirmatory washout period of at least 50 days appears to be important to mitigate the risk of rejection. |
| Development and Validation of an Administrative Frailty Index for Patients with Cirrhosis (CAFI).
We developed the CAFI, the first ICD-based frailty index specific to cirrhosis patients and validated against an in-person frailty measure. The CAFI will enable investigators to account for frailty as a confounder or mediator in administrative data-based studies, improving the validity of population-based research in patients with cirrhosis. |
| Endoscopic management of biliary stricture in primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Finally, we provide best practice recommendations to minimize risk of complications, including use of peri-procedural antibiotic prophylaxis, technique modifications, and individualized sphincterotomy decisions. As innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for PSC continue to evolve, rigorous multicenter, prospective studies are needed to assess efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of these strategies prior to widespread adoption. |
| Utilization of DCD NRP liver grafts: A multicenter study of opportunities for improvement in organ acceptance.
Fifty-seven opportunities for utilization were identified by transplant centers plus 11 from the OPO: most were due to exceeding a functional warm ischemic time limit (n=26), other reasons (n=17) and functional assessment (n=16). The lessons learned by centers in this study provide guidance for newer NRP centers and for OPOs in identifying opportunities for utilization of NRP DCD grafts that have historically been declined. |

| Aggressive fluid resuscitation in predicted severe acute pancreatitis: a secondary analysis of a multicenter randomized controlled trial.
A higher amount of balanced fluids given according to the hematocrit and other clinical parameters does not appear to contribute to respiratory dysfunction in patients with pSAP. |
| Development of an experimental model of severe acute pancreatitis with organ failure.
Our experimental models of severe AP in rats assessed clinically relevant and translatable parameters of organ dysfunction. Although the model does not reproduce human etiologic context, it may help researchers to evaluate the benefits of therapeutic interventions targeting systemic inflammation. |
| Spink1 promotes the survival of Kras-mutant pancreatic acinar cells.
These findings demonstrate that SPINK1 supports the early stages of pancreatic carcinogenesis. Targeting SPINK1 may represent a novel preventive strategy to eliminate Kras mutant acinar cells and suppress the initiation of pancreatic cancer. |
