IMPORTANCE: Assessing endoscopic disease severity in ulcerative colitis (UC) is a key element in determining therapeutic response, but its use in clinical practice is limited by the requirement for experienced human reviewers.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Evaluation of endoscopic disease activity for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is important when determining the treatment of choice. However, endoscopists require a certain period of training to evaluate the activity of inf...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), an incremental benefit of achieving histologic healing beyond that of endoscopic mucosal healing has been suggested; persistent histologic inflammation increases the risk of exacerbati...
Up to 50% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) experience a loss of response (LOR) to infliximab after an initial response to the drug. Granulocyte/monocyte apheresis (GMA) with the Adacolumn depletes the activated myeloid...

BACKGROUND: Previous research has yielded conflicting data as to whether the natural history of inflammatory bowel disease follows a seasonal pattern. The purpose of this study was (1) to determine whether the frequency of onset and relapse of inflam...
OBJECTIVE: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease for which remission is dependent on corticosteroid (CS) treatment. The diversity of disease pathophysiology necessitates optimal case-specific treatment selection. This study ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Real-world studies on vedolizumab in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are often limited by small sample size and short follow-up. In this study, we investigated the 2-year effectiveness and safety of vedolizumab in patients with ...
BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by increased stool frequency, rectal bleeding, and urgency. To streamline the quantitative assessment of histopathology using the Nancy Index in UC patients, we...
