    Abstract Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease is mainly diagnosed in younger patients. However, the number of elderly patients (age > 60 years) affected by Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis is increasing. In the elderly, symptoms often differ from the younger population. Older patients generally present a milder clinical course and are less often affected by extraintestinal disease activity. Treatment options are similar to the ones in younger patients. Due to the higher risk of drug interactions and side effects, comorbidities and comedication of the older patients play a pivotal role in the selection of the specific treatment agent. In therapy refractory disease, surgical treatment is also a valuable option for patients > 60 years. Furthermore, vaccination, prevention of infections and regular cancer screening is mandatory in this vulnerable population.

    Abstract The gastrointestinal tract is the largest compartment of the body's immune system exposed to microorganisms, structural components and metabolites, antigens derived from the diet, and pathogens. Most studies have focused on immune responses in the stomach, the small intestine, and the colon, but the esophagus has remained an understudied anatomic immune segment. Here, we discuss the esophagus' anatomical and physiological distinctions that may account for inflammatory esophageal diseases.

    Abstract Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergy-associated disease defined clinically by esophagus-related symptoms in combination with a dense esophageal eosinophilia, both of which are unresponsive to prolonged acid suppression with proton pump inhibitors. Over the last two decades EoE has increasingly been recognized in various geographical areas (mostly industrialized countries) with high socioeconomic development. The prevalence rate is increasing and reaches up to 50 patients per 100,000 inhabitants in some indicator regions. Whether this increased prevalence is due to a real increase in incidence, a result of increased awareness by health care providers or because of the nonfatal nature of EoE adding more and more cases to the patient pool is still a matter of controversy. Several studies have consistently demonstrated a male predominance in EoE, with a male-to-female risk ratio of 3:1. The average age at diagnosis ranges between 30 and 50 years and suggests that EoE is a disease of the middle-aged man. It can affect patients of every race, but the disease is more common among Caucasians. In both children and adults, EoE has been clearly associated with allergies to food and aeroallergens, and most EoE patients present with a personal allergic background (e.g. asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis or oral allergy syndrome). In conclusion, knowledge of epidemiologic parameters of EoE is crucial for identifying risk factors as well as pathogenic mechanisms, planning preventive measures and determining optimal treatment strategies.

    Abstract Background: TNF inhibitors are relatively safe drugs, but asymptomatic infliximab-induced high serum creatine kinase (CK) levels have been reported in >30% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Whether high serum CK levels are a specific effect of treatment with TNF inhibitors has not been studied in detail. CK levels were therefore compared between infliximab- and vedolizumab-treated IBD patients.
    Methods: In this retrospective, monocentric study, 131 IBD cases (82 with Crohn's disease (CD), 49 with ulcerative colitis) of the Basel University Hospital IBD cohort treated either with infliximab or vedolizumab were included. Serum samples for measuring CK, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), and fecal calprotectin (FCal) levels were collected longitudinally and analyzed using mixed additive models.
    Results: No significant differences in CK levels between infliximab and vedolizumab-treated patients were observed over time. Infliximab-treated males, however, showed significantly higher CK levels than females and former smokers treated with infliximab showed significantly lower CK levels than nonsmokers. No such differences were observed in vedolizumab-treated patients. LDH and CRP were not significantly different between infliximab- and vedolizumab-treated patients, while adjusted groups showed substantially higher LDH levels with increasing age and significantly lower LDH levels in patients with longer disease duration. Infliximab patients with CD showed significantly lower CRP. However, significantly higher FCal concentrations were noted in infliximab patients independent of diagnosis, gender, disease duration, smoking behavior, and age.
    Conclusion: In our cohort, high serum CK levels are not an infliximab- or vedolizumab-specific effect.

    Abstract Aim of the study: Diagnosing small bowel pathology is challenging, and the diagnostic yield of small bowel capsule endoscopy is highly variable. Faecal calprotectin is a non-invasive intestinal inflammation marker that could be used as a selection tool to identify patients who might benefit from small bowel capsule endoscopy and increase its diagnostic yield. This study aimed to investigate the value of faecal calprotectin in detecting small bowel lesions in an unselected patient population.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients who underwent small bowel capsule endoscopy at the University Hospital Basel and the University Medical Clinic Cantonal Hospital Baselland, Switzerland, between 2010 and 2018. Patients without faecal calprotectin testing were excluded from the analysis. The primary endpoint was the presence of a clinically significant small bowel finding.
    Results: Patients with positive faecal calprotectin results were more likely to have small bowel findings (66.7% vs 39.4%; P = 0.007). The optimal faecal calprotectin cut-off to identify clinically significant small bowel lesions was 63 μg/g with 78.3% (95% confidence interval: 66.7-87.9) sensitivity, 47.9% (33.3-62.8) specificity, 1.50 (1.1-2.0) positive and 0.45 (0.3-0.8) negative likelihood ratios, 68.4% (61.6-74.4) positive and 60.5% (47.3-72.4) negative predictive values, and 65.0% overall accuracy. Faecal calprotectin performed best in patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease, with 66.7% (48.2-82.0) sensitivity, 70.6% (44.0-89.7) specificity, 2.27 (1.0-4.9) positive and 0.47 (0.3-0.8) negative likelihood ratios, 81.5% (67.0-90.5) positive and 54.5% (39.7-68.6) negative predictive values, and 71.4% overall accuracy.
    Conclusion: Faecal calprotectin testing increases the diagnostic yield of small bowel capsule endoscopy and may help identify patients at risk of small bowel disease.

    Abstract Introduction: Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an established therapy for recurrent C. difficile infection, and recent studies have reported encouraging results of FMT in patients with ulcerative colitis. Few international consensus guidelines exist for this therapy, and thus FMT policies and practices differ among European countries. As of 2019, stool transplants are considered a non-standardised medicinal product in Switzerland, and a standardised production process requires authorisation by the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products. This authorisation leads to prolonged administrative procedures and increasing costs, which reduces treatment accessibility. In particular, patients with ulcerative colitis in Switzerland can only benefit from FMT off-label, even though it is a valid therapeutic option. Therefore, this study summarised the available data on FMT and established a framework for the standardised use of FMT.
    Methods: A panel of Swiss gastroenterologists with a special interest in inflammatory bowel disease was established to identify the current key issues of FMT. After a comprehensive review of the literature, statements were formulated about FMT indications, donor screening, stool transplant preparation and administration, and safety aspects. The panel then voted on the statements following the Delphi process; the statements were reformulated and revoted until a consensus was reached. The manuscript was then reviewed by an infectiologist (the head of Lausanne's FMT centre).
    Results: The established statements are summarised in the supplementary tables in the appendix to this paper. The working group hopes these will help standardise FMT practice in Switzerland and contribute to making faecal microbiota transplantation a safe and accessible treatment for patients with recurrent C. difficile infections and selected patients with ulcerative colitis, as well as other indications in the future.
