Bridging the gap: Unveiling the crisis of physical inactivity in inflammatory bowel diseases
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 14;30(10):1261-1265. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i10.1261.ABSTRACTIn this editorial we comment on the article titled "Inflammatory bowel diseases patients suffer from significant low levels and barriers to physical activity: The BE-FIT-IBD study" published in a recent issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology 2023; 29 (41): 5668-5682. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are emerging as a significant global health concern as their incidence continues to rise on a global scale, with detrimental impacts on quality of life. While many advances have been made regarding the management of the disease, ...

Are we ready to use new endoscopic scores for ulcerative colitis?
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 14;30(10):1466-1469. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i10.1466.ABSTRACTFor ulcerative colitis (UC), the variability in inflammatory activity along the colon poses a challenge in management. The focus on achieving endoscopic healing in UC is evident, where the UC Endoscopic Index of Severity and Mayo Endoscopic Subscore are commonly used for evaluation. However, these indices primarily consider the most severely affected region. Liu et al recent study validates the Toronto Inflammatory Bowel Disease Global Endoscopic Reporting (TIGER) score offering a comprehensive assessment of inflammatory activity acr...

Nomograms and prognosis for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 14;30(10):1291-1294. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i10.1291.ABSTRACTIn recent years, endoscopic resection, particularly endoscopic submucosal dissection, has become increasingly popular in treating non-metastatic superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this evolving paradigm, it is crucial to identify factors that predict higher rates of lymphatic invasion and poorer outcomes. Larger tumor size, deeper invasion, poorer differentiation, more infiltrative growth patterns (INF-c), higher-grade tumor budding, positive lymphovascular invasion, and certain biomarkers have been associated ...

Women health and microbiota: Different aspects of well-being
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 14;30(10):1287-1290. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i10.1287.ABSTRACTIn this editorial, we comment on the article by Marano et al recently published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology 2023; 29 (45): 5945-5952. We focus on the role of gut microbiota (GM) in women's health, highlighting the need to thoroughly comprehend the sex differences in microbiota. Together, the host and GM support the host's health. The microbiota components consist of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and archaea. This complex is an essential part of the host and is involved in neurological development, metabolic control, immune s...
