    Abstract Crohn's disease is a chronic and progressive immune-mediated disease with increasing incidence worldwide. There are no curative therapies. The primary agents used in the treatment of Crohn's disease are aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and biologics. Each agent has different roles in the induction and maintenance of remission of disease. The biologics available include anti-TNF agents, anti-integrins, and anti-interleukins. The choice of initial biologic therapy should be determined through shared decision-making between the patient and provider.

    Abstract The term "futility" in liver transplantation is used inappropriately and inaccurately, as it is frequently applied to patient populations with suboptimal outcomes that are often not truly "futile." The term "futile" is used interchangeably with poor outcomes. Not all poor outcomes fulfill a definition of futility when considering all viewpoints. Definitions of "futility" are variable throughout the medical literature. We review futility in the context of liver transplantation, encompassing various viewpoints, with a goal to propose focused outcome definitions, including futility, that encompass broader viewpoints, and improve the utilization of "futility" to truly futile situations, and improve communication between providers and patients/families. Focused, appropriate definitions will help the transplant community develop better models to more accurately predict and avoid futile transplants, and better predict an individual patient's posttransplant outcome.

    Abstract Objective: Adrenal schwannomas and juxta-adrenal schwannomas are rare tumours. We aimed to summarise their clinical, biochemical and imaging characteristics.
    Design: Single-centre retrospective study of eligible patients between 1995 and 2022.
    Patients and measurements: Patients with a histopathologic diagnosis of adrenal or juxta-adrenal schwannoma.
    Results: Twenty-four patients were diagnosed with either primary adrenal schwannoma (8, 33%) or juxta-adrenal schwannoma (16, 67%). Most tumours (21, 88%) were discovered incidentally on imaging. All tumours were unilateral, with 15 (62%) on the left and 9 (38%) on the right. At diagnosis, the median tumour size was 4 cm (range, 2-13 cm). Adrenal schwannomas were smaller when compared to juxta-adrenal schwannomas (median of 3.1 cm [range, 2-9 cm] vs. 4.6 cm [range, 2.3-13.3 cm], p = .037). On imaging, the tumours were round or oval in shape in 16 (70%), lobulated in 7 (30%), solid in 15 (68%), solid-cystic in 7 (32%), heterogeneous in 14 (61%) and homogeneous in 9 (39%). The median unenhanced computed tomography attenuation was 30 Hounsfield units (HU) (range, 12-38 HU). Of the 20 patients who underwent complete hormonal testing, all had nonfunctioning tumours. There was no recurrence or new tumour development in our cohort.
    Conclusions: Adrenal and juxta-adrenal schwannomas are nonfunctioning benign tumours that present with indeterminate radiographic features, including large tumour size and increased unenhanced CT attenuation. We did not find an imaging phenotype that was diagnostic of schwannoma. The diagnosis of this rare tumour is based on biopsy or resection.

    Abstract Patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and liver transplant recipients are at increased risk for infections from vaccine-preventable diseases. Gastroenterologists and hepatologists should assess patient immunization history, and necessary vaccinations should be given as soon as possible. Vaccines demonstrate superior immunogenicity when given earlier in the course of liver disease and prior to transplant. This article summarizes recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices for vaccinations in patients with CLD and liver transplant recipients, and includes a discussion of the influenza, herpes zoster, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, pneumococcal, human papillomavirus, and COVID-19 vaccines.
