The European Medicines Agency safety committee has revisited the label and recommended the use of Janus kinase inhibitors in patients with certain risk factors only if no suitable treatment alternatives are available. Although regulatory decisions are key to place therapeutic options based on safety, broad restrictions might lead to unintended consequences without an individualized benefit–risk evaluation.
New data suggest that moderate fluid resuscitation is safer in acute pancreatitis than the standard aggressive fluid resuscitation. The findings suggest that an approach that includes safety and goal-directed checkpoints could enable treatment to be individualized and highlight the importance of clinical evidence in challenging dogma and improving evidence-based medicine.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is closely associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and potentially provides unique insights into the gut–liver axis. This Review explores these links and provides an overview of the gut microbiome in PSC, including PSC–IBD, exploring related hypotheses of disease mechanisms.
Gastric and gastro-oesophageal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide with a poor prognosis. This Review provides a comprehensive overview of current treatment strategies set on a molecular basis, and discusses future therapeutic avenues.
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are changing endoscopy and gastrointestinal surgery, including computer-assisted detection and diagnosis, computer-aided navigation, robot-assisted intervention and automated reporting. This Perspective introduces the role of AI in computer-assisted interventions in gastroenterology with insights on regulatory aspects and the challenges ahead.
Intestinal gluconeogenesis (IGN) is a conserved mechanism documented in all vertebrates and it has a crucial role in energy homeostasis and metabolic processes. This Perspective provides an overview of IGN and discusses its importance in natural selection.
