There is an increasing interest in the discovery of new inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) biomarkers able to predict the future patterns of disease and to help in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. A biomarker is a substance that can be measured biologically and is associated with an increased risk
Background: A pilot study was performed investigating the possibility that positron emission tomography (PET) activity using 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) with nearly simultaneous computerized tomography (CT) for anatomic accuracy would identify regions of active inflammation in both ulcerative coliti
The antiinflammatory effects of glucocorticosteroids (GCS) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are unsurpassed by those of any other type of drug, but the beneficial effects are often offset by troublesome, and sometimes irreversible, systemic side effects. Improved GCS have been developed with the
## Background: The diagnosis and classification of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) require both clinical and histopathologic data. Serum biomarkers would be of considerable benefit to noninvasively monitor the progression of disease, assess effectiveness of therapies, and assist in understanding d
