Novel polyurethane based particulate formulations of infliximab reduce inflammation in DSS induced murine model of colitis - A preliminary study.

TL;DR: In this article, a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induced model of colitis was used to evaluate the severity of the colitis by measurement of disease activity index (DAI) score, inflammatory markers (neutrophil infiltration, TNFα) and histological score.

Korean clinical practice guidelines on biologics for moderate to severe Crohn’s disease

TL;DR: The third Korean guidelines for CD management provide updated information regarding treatment of moderate-to-severe CD patients with biologic agents, showing the non-inferiority of CT-P13, an infliximab biosimilar, compared with inflIXimab in CD patients.

The risk of later surgery at the anastomotic site following right hemicolectomy for Crohn's disease in a national cohort of 12 230 patients.

TL;DR: Crohn's disease has a high‐risk of bowel resection and later surgery for recurrent disease and recent guidelines recommend colonoscopy 6‐12 months following surgery to reduce further surgical intervention through medical therapy intensification.

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.
