Background & Aims We investigated correlations between histologic features of the colonic
mucosa in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and clinical outcomes during a 3-year follow …

Background and Aims Capsule endoscopy (CE) is an important modality for diagnosis and
follow-up of Crohn's disease (CD). The severity of ulcers at endoscopy is significant for …

Background & Aims: The management of dysplasia-associated lesional mass (DALM) and
adenoma-like mass (ALM) in chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC) differs radically, involving total …

Histological remission is evolving as an important treatment target in UC. We aimed to
develop a simple histological index, aligned to endoscopy, correlated with clinical outcomes …

Abstract Background and Aims Ulcerative colitis [UC] is a chronic inflammatory disease of
the colon. Colonoscopy remains the gold standard for evaluating disease activity, as clinical …

Background and study aims Invasive cancer carries the risk of metastasis, and therefore, the
ability to distinguish between invasive cancerous lesions and less-aggressive lesions is …

Background & Aims We studied the reliability of the previously described Ulcerative Colitis
Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS) and validated it with an independent cohort of …

Background The diagnosis of intraepithelial neoplasia is pivotal for ongoing clinical
management decisions in ulcerative colitis. Previous studies have compared the diagnostic …

Background In routine practice, scoring of activity and severity of ulcerative colitis is based
on combined clinical and endoscopic assessment. Histology also allows sensitive scoring of …

Background Endocytoscopy enables in vivo observation of nuclei at 450× magnification
during GI endoscopy, thus allowing precise prediction of lesion pathology. However …
