TL;DR: The meta-analyses indicate protection against child infections and malocclusion, increases in intelligence, and probable reductions in overweight and diabetes, and an increase in tooth decay with longer periods of breastfeeding.

TL;DR: Frequency of TNF-α secreting cells is significantly increased in the mucosa of inflamed intestine, regardless of pathogenesis, and higher levels are seen in patients with IBD than in UC, probably reflecting the extensive T-cell activation in Crohn's disease.

TL;DR: Ten of the 12 original authors of the Early Report “Ileal-lymphoidnodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children”, published in The Lancet in 1998 are considering together formally retract the interpretation placed upon these findings in the paper.

TL;DR: EoE is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory disease with largely unquantified long-term consequences, and better maintenance treatment as well as biomarkers for assessing treatment response and predicting long- term complications is urgently needed.

TL;DR: It is shown through diversity analysis of the microbial community structure based on the 16S rRNA gene that the gut microbiome of IBD patients is less diverse compared to healthy individuals, and a bacterial family co-abundance network is reconstructed, suggesting highly important groups of bacteria in the gut that can coexist with other bacteria across a range of conditions.
