Magnetic resonance enterography in Crohn's disease patients: current state of the art and future perspectives.

Expert Review of Medical Devices
Hila BufmanMichal Marianne Amitai

Abstract

Crohn's disease (CD) is a major concern due to relatively high incidence and major complications like stricture or fistulas, often requiring surgical treatment. In recent years, magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) became a popular method of diagnosis and disease surveillance. The purpose of this review is to summarize and discuss the major and most recent advances in various aspects of MRE usage in diagnosong Crohn's disease, and to discuss advances in technique, disease activity monitoring and response to treatment. A literature search was performed and relevant publications were included, with emphasis on articles from the past decade. In this review we have presented articles with major advances in the field of MRE of CD patients such as proper sequence selection, recent advances in scoring of disease activity, differentiation between inflammation and fibrosis, response to treatment and technological advances such as the use of AI. The main goal in improving MRE performance will be sequence selection aimed at differenting between inflammation and stricture while shortening the study length adjusted to patient compliance, and developing a standardized scoring system for MRE reporting assisted by artificial intelligence.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
