Introduction: Recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) remains a major clinical challenge, with recurrence occurring in up to one-third of patients after initial treatment. Although both vancomycin taper-and-pulse (VAN-TP)...
Introduction: Increasing evidence suggests that Parkinson's disease (PD) may originate in the gut, with pathological α-synuclein spreading to the brain through the vagus nerve. This preclinical study investigated...
Introduction: Although aspirin has long been investigated as adjuvant therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC), the overall ASCOLT trial showed no improvement in disease-free survival (DFS). This translational analysis...
Introduction: Anal squamous cell carcinoma is an increasingly common but largely preventable cancer. Most cases arise from persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, progressing through high-grade squamous intraepithelial...
Introduction: Acute infectious gastroenteritis can trigger persistent gastrointestinal symptoms long after the infection has resolved, leading to post-infection disorders of gut-brain interaction (PI-DGBI). This global Rome Foundation study...
Introduction: Gut microbiota alterations have been implicated in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), making fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) a promising therapeutic strategy. However, clinical trials have...
Introduction: Laparoscopic adhesiolysis offers several short-term advantages over open surgery for adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO). However, its long-term impact on recurrence, quality of life, and incisional hernia...
Introduction: Growing evidence suggests that Parkinson's disease (PD) may originate in the gut, with pathological α-synuclein spreading to the brain through the vagus nerve. This study investigated whether...
Introduction: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most serious gastrointestinal emergencies in neonates. Early identification of infants requiring surgical intervention is critical but remains challenging. This study...
Introduction: Antibiotic exposure is the best-established risk factor for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). However, the contribution of many commonly prescribed non-antibiotic medications has remained uncertain. This large Swedish...
