Defective acute inflammation in Crohn's disease : a clinical investigation

TL;DR: In Crohn's disease, a constitutionally weak immune response predisposes to accumulation of intestinal contents that breach the mucosal barrier of the bowel wall, resulting in granuloma formation and chronic inflammation, and current treatment of secondary chronic inflammation might exaggerate the underlying lesion and promote chronic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory bowel disease in CGD reproduces the clinicopathological features of Crohn's disease.

TL;DR: There are striking clinical and pathological resemblances between the bowel diseases observed in CGD and Crohn's disease, supporting the possibility of mechanistic similarities in their pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance enterography and small bowel ultrasound for the extent and activity of newly diagnosed and relapsed Crohn's disease (METRIC): a multicentre trial.

TL;DR: Both MRE and ultrasound have high sensitivity for detecting small bowel disease presence and both are valid first-line investigations, and viable alternatives to ileocolonoscopy.
