Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and Prevalence of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis in Olmsted County, Minnesota From 1970 Through 2010.
TL;DR: Estimated incidence rates for UC and CD in Olmsted County are among the highest in the United States, and male sex and younger age were significantly associated with a higher incidence rate of CD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel and Emerging Therapies for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss novel treatment target agents including selective janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, anti-interleukin (IL) (IL-12/IL-23), leukocyte trafficking/migrating inhibitors (such as sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator) and other small molecules currently in development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Raina Shivashankar,Sahil Khanna,Patricia P. Kammer,W. Scott Harmsen,Alan R. Zinsmeister,Larry M. Baddour,Darrell S. Pardi +6 more
TL;DR: Older age, high numbers of leukocytes in blood samples, an increased serum level of creatinine, gastric acid suppression, and use of narcotic medications were independently associated with development of severe-complicated CDI in hospitalized patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of Spondyloarthropathy in Patients with Crohn’s Disease: A Population-based Study
Raina Shivashankar,Edward V. Loftus,William J. Tremaine,Tim Bongartz,W. Scott Harmsen,Alan R. Zinsmeister,Eric L. Matteson +6 more
TL;DR: The actual cumulative incidence of SpA in CD is defined for the first time using complete medical record information in a population-based cohort and the results emphasize the importance of maintaining a high level of suspicion for SpA when following patients with CD.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Diet in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
TL;DR: Until several ongoing clinical trials are completed, a reasonable approach to dietary recommendations for patients with IBD is to propose a well-balanced, healthy (low-fat, low-sugar) diet prepared from fresh ingredients, such as the Mediterranean diet, with exclusions of self-identified foods that worsen or trigger IBD-related symptoms.
