| Eating whilst distracted: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of distraction on concurrent and later intake in adults.
Distracted eating increases later intake, however the effect of distracted eating on concurrent intake is less consistent and only relatively passive distractors may increase energy intake. Collectively, these findings highlight the impact of distracted eating on food intake as a potential contributor to overeating. Registry and registry number for systematic reviews or meta-analyses. This systematic review and meta-analysis was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024518245). |

| Incidence and predictors of surgical recurrence after primary ileocolic resection in Crohn ileitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Approximately 1 in 17 patients experience surgical recurrence within 5 years after primary ICR. The risk of surgical recurrence decreased over the past decades but has stabilized in the biologics era. Systematic review registration PROSPERO registration No. CRD42020213027. |
| The prevalence of abdominal computed tomography imaging findings in patients with inflammatory bowel disease who present to the emergency department: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
In this meta-analysis, we found low rates of serious penetrating IBD complications and non-IBD pathologies detected by abdominal CT in the ED. These findings suggest that more selective use of CT imaging in the ED may be warranted. |

| Glucagon-like Peptide-1 receptor agonists are not associated with increased risk of pancreatic cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
GLP-1 RA therapy was not associated with an increased risk of PDAC. Observational data suggest a possible inverse association, although further high-quality studies are warranted. |
| Pancreatic duct stenting to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Prophylactic PD stenting appears to significantly reduce the risk of PEP, in both high- and average-risk patients. However, considerable heterogeneity and methodological limitations across studies highlight the need for future trials to refine patient selection, stent characteristics and combination of prophylactic strategies.

| Food consumption according to degree of processing and risk of breast cancer: prospective findings from the Moli-sani Study cohort.
In this cohort of Italian females, food consumption based on the degree of processing was not associated with BC incidence. Although higher intake of processed foods appeared linked to increased risk, this was largely explained by alcoholic beverages. These findings are in agreement with previous research, which overall remains inconclusive about the link between food processing and BC. |
| Identifying temporal eating patterns: A comparison of latent class analysis and dynamic time warping-based cluster analysis.
LCA and MDTW-based clustering identified comparable, but non-interchangeable TEPs. LCA may suits diet quality research, whereas MDTW-based clustering may suit multidimensional dietary/health data. |
| The role of human milk oligosaccharides in shaping and restoring infant gut microbiota: Population-based cohort study.
HMOs exhibit age-dependent and structure-specific associations with infant gut microbiota, extending beyond breastfeeding. |

| Development and validation of a predictive model for early failure of biological therapy in perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease based on three-dimensional transrectal ultrasound.
3D-TRUS features effectively predict early biologic failure in pfCD. The nomogram provides a tool for risk assessment to guide clinical decisions regarding treatment escalation or switch, supporting more individualized patient management. |

| Heritability of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis: a Swedish nationwide population-based twin study.
In this large population-based twin study, the heritability of Crohn's disease was 0.78 and 0.57 for ulcerative colitis. These findings highlight the disparity between heritability estimates from twin studies and those inferred from genome-wide association studies, underscoring the need for continued exploration of the genetic basis of IBD. |

| Delisting for clinical improvement as a proxy for recompensated cirrhosis on the U.S. liver transplant waitlist: A retrospective cohort study.
The occurrence of DCI is variable across disease etiologies. Achieving combined improvement in MELD and CTP class may better identify durable clinical improvement and guide safe waitlist removal decisions. |
| Determinants of early readmission following liver transplantation: A National analysis of the TransQIP database.
Thirty-day readmission after LT is common, occurs early after discharge, and is driven by post-discharge infectious complications, specifically UTI and organ space SSI. Functional status is independently protective. These findings highlight actionable targets to reduce early readmissions after liver transplantation. |
| Post-Transplant liver assessment: Practical applications of non-invasive testing.
In this review, we summarize the current evidence regarding the performance of NITs for the assessment of graft fibrosis, steatosis, and portal hypertension in the post-transplant setting, contextualizing well-established principles regarding NITs derived from native liver disease within the post-LT setting, where NITs may have additional and still underexplored potential. We aim to provide a practical, clinically oriented use of NITs into routine post-LT care, for enabling earlier detection of complications and more personalized graft monitoring. |

| Identification of a Novel Chemokine-related Long Non-coding RNA Risk Model Via Comprehensive Prognostic and Immune Analyses in Pancreatic Cancer.
The chemokine-related lncRNAs risk model established in this study exhibits significant prognostic value in PC and may provide new insights for future therapeutic strategies. |
| Pancreatology |
| A community-hospital collaborative diagnostic pathway for earlier detection of pancreatic cancer: Long-term impact of the Onomichi Method.
A community-hospital diagnostic pathway integrating primary care and advanced endoscopy was associated with a shift toward earlier pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Improved overall survival primarily reflected diagnostic stage migration rather than stage-specific therapeutic advances. These findings highlight the importance of structured community-hospital diagnostic pathways for improving the timeliness of pancreatic cancer diagnosis in routine clinical practice. |
