Bowel wall healing assessed using magnetic resonance imaging predicts sustained clinical remission and decreased risk of...

Published in Journal of Gastroenterology

BackgroundEndoscopic mucosal healing is considered as the best therapeutic target in Crohn’s disease (CD) as it is associated with better long-term outcomes. We investigated whether bowel wall healing (BWH) assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could predict favorable outcomes and could be a potential therapeutic target.MethodsWe performe...

Fluid sequestration is a useful parameter in the early identification of severe disease of acute pancreatitis

Published in Journal of Gastroenterology

BackgroundEarly identification of severe disease of acute pancreatitis (AP) is of critical importance to improve the prognosis. Fluid sequestration (FS), calculated from administrated fluid and fluid output, is a simple prognostic parameter. We examined its utility in the early phase of AP.MethodsWe retrospectively investigated AP patients between ...

Recent understanding of the pathophysiology of functional dyspepsia: role of the duodenum as the pathogenic center

Published in Journal of Gastroenterology

Over almost 30 years since functional dyspepsia (FD) was defined, researchers have endeavored to elucidate the pathophysiology of functional gastrointestinal disorders. Now a consensus is emerging that the gastric symptoms of FD are caused mainly by gastric motility abnormalities and gastric hypersensitivity. The involvement of other causative fact...

Published in Journal of Gastroenterology

BackgroundIn the complex etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the exposome is a major contributor. Though many environmental exposures have been identified, quality of evidence varies greatly and overall evidence for the exposome is inconclusive. A universal, precise, and reproducible measurement tool is needed to study the exposome in IBD...
