Crohn's disease associated strictures.

TL;DR: This review will evaluate the literature on the mechanism of intestinal fibrosis, emerging imaging techniques, and management strategies for CD associated strictures, and a promising first‐line alternative to surgery as it is less invasive and could preserve intestinal length.
Journal ArticleDOI

Culturing human intestinal stem cells for regenerative applications in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of medium compositions and support matrices for optimal intestinal stem cell culture, as well as potential modifications to advance clinical use in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is presented.

Role of MIF and D-DT in immune-inflammatory, autoimmune, and chronic respiratory diseases: from pathogenic factors to therapeutic targets

TL;DR: The role of MIF and D-DT in human immune-inflammatory, autoimmune, and chronic respiratory diseases is focused on, providing an update on the progress made in the identification of specific small-molecule inhibitors of these proteins.

The Impact of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Canada 2018: Direct Costs and Health Services Utilization.

TL;DR: Direct health care costs of illness reflect the costs of medically necessary services and treatments paid for by public and private payers, including hospital-based care, outpatient physician consultations, prescription medications, diagnostic testing, complex continuing care, and home care.

Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis

TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.

Operating characteristics of a rank correlation test for publication bias.

TL;DR: In this paper, an adjusted rank correlation test is proposed as a technique for identifying publication bias in a meta-analysis, and its operating characteristics are evaluated via simulations, and the test statistic is a direct statistical analogue of the popular funnel-graph.
