TL;DR: Symptomatic patients with Crohn's disease and normal serum CRP are unlikely to have evidence of abscess, fistulating disease, or large bowel luminal disease detected on abdominopelvic CT, however, abdominal CT may demonstrate evidence of clinically significant non-penetrating CD or complications, including perforation and acute obstruction, regardless of serumCRP concentration.

TL;DR: Reduced lung function is associated with increased levels of systemic inflammatory markers and acute exercise can further increase this inflammatory response, however pulmonary rehabilitation is unlikely to exacerbate systemic inflammation in COPD.

TL;DR: UC shows greater variability between patients in clinical features, and as the disease evolves involving different parts of the gastrointestinal tract, the clinical features in any one patient may also change through time.

TL;DR: These experiments demonstrate antigen specific oral immune tolerance for tumors, which is reflected in a faster growth rate and impaired delayed type hypersensitivity response.
