Abstract Background Appropriate management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often requires multiple specialist appointments per year. Living in rural locations may pose a barrier to regular specialist care. Saskatchewan (SK) has a large rural population. Prior to COVID-19, telehealth (TH) in SK was not routinely used for either patient assessment or follow up. Furthermore, TH was exclusively between hospitals and specific TH sites without direct contact using patient’s personal phones. Aims The objective of this study was to assess the differences in demographics, disease characteristics, outcomes, and health care utilization between patients from rural SK with IBD who used TH and those who did not. Methods A retrospective chart review was completed on all rural patients (postal code S0*) with IBD in SK who were followed at the Multidisciplinary IBD Clinic in Saskatoon between January 2018 and February 2020. Patients were classified as using TH if they had ever used it. Information on demographics, disease characteristics, and access to IBD-related health care in the year prior to their last IBD clinic visit or endoscopy was collected. Data was not collected for clinic visits after March 1, 2020 as all outpatient care became remote secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mean, standard deviations, median and interquartile ranges (IQR) were reported. Mann-Witney U and Chi-Square tests were used to determine differences between the groups. Results In total, 288 rural SK IBD patients were included, 30 (10.4%) used TH and 258 (89.6%) did not. Patient demographics were not significantly different between the two groups; although, there was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of ulcerative colitis patients (17% TH vs. 38% non-TH, p=0.02). The percentage of patients with clinical remission was 87% for TH patients and 74% for non-TH patients (p=0.13). There were no significant differences in health care utilization patterns and biochemical markers of disease, including c-reactive protein (CRP) and fecal calprotectin (FCP) (p>0.05). Conclusions Prior to the pandemic, a small percentage of patients with IBD in rural SK ever used TH. A small proportion of UC patients used TH. No significant differences in disease characteristics, outcomes, or health care utilization were identified. Further study is warranted to identify barriers to use of this technology to tailor care to this patient group and improve access to care, especially now as the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the use of virtual care.

Annotation. At the turn of the 21st century, chronic inflammatory bowel disease (CIBD) has become a global disease with accelerating morbidity in industrialized countries with a prevalence exceeding 0.3%. These data underscore the need for research into the prevention of inflammatory bowel disease and innovations in health care systems to manage this complex and costly disease. The information from a personal anamnesis of 40 women patients with ulcerative colitis (clinical group (main). In the second group (control), 30 practically healthy pregnant women with a physiological course of gestation were included, which did not have in their history of inflammatory intestinal diseases. Statistical processing of research results was performed using the software package Statistica 6.0. The arithmetic mean (M) and the standard deviation error (± m) (p<0.05) were determined, as well as the odds ratio (OR), confidence interval (CI) at p=95%. It was found that for women with ulcerative colitis is characterized by the presence of a history of obstetric pathology, such as: spontaneous miscarriage of OR 3.33, 95% CI [1.06-10.53], p=0.04 and blood secretions of OR 3.0, 95% CI [1.00-8.98], p=0.0496; among extragenital pathology in the anamnesis: children's infectious diseases of OR 4.85, 95% CI [1.25-18.85], p=0.02, chronic bronchitis of OR 7.54, 95% CI [1,56-36, 41], p=0.01, varicose veins OR 4.33, 95% CI [1.11-16.95], p=0.035, chronic gastritis OR 6.0, 95% CI [1,23-29, 31], p=0.03, anemia of OR 15.0, 95% CI [4.53-49.68], p<0.0001, allergy history of OR 6.65, 95% CI [1.73-25.60], p=0.006; among gynecological complications – premenstrual syndrome OR 6.0, 95% CI [1.55-23.15], p=0.009, algomenorrhea OR 8.14, 95% CI [2.12-31.24], p=0.002 , salpingo-oophoritis, OR 7.54, 95% CI [1.56-36.41], p=0.01. Because CIBD during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of adverse effects on the mother and fetus, information on socio-anamnestic and clinical analysis of pregnant women with ulcerative colitis will be useful to health care providers in making decisions about CIBD during pregnancy.

Abstract Background Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) suffer more often than the rest of the population from faecal incontinence, which decreases their quality of life. The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of Finnish IBD patients regarding faecal incontinence and the guidance they need and have received for faecal incontinence. Methods The data were collected by executing focused interviews of eleven IBD patients, who at the time of the interview were in remission. The interviewees participated in the study via the Finnish patient association Crohn ja Colitis ry. The data were analysed using an inductive content analysis. Results Seven participants were men and four were women. They had had IBD for an average of 2 to 40 years. Five interviewees had Crohn’s disease and six had ulcerative colitis. The extent of the faecal incontinence and its impact on quality of life were assessed by Jorge–Wexner score, which examines the frequency of solid and loose stools and intestinal gas, use of diapers or protective pads, and the patients’ perception of the impact on the quality of life. Zero points stands for complete continence and 20 points for complete incontinence. The average Wexner score among participants was 9.8 (Figure 1). The participants felt that faecal incontinence was constantly disturbing their life. They especially wished for support and information regarding diet. Fear of faecal incontinence made participants skip planned activities and isolate themselves at home. Participants tried to anticipate bowel movements and find out toilet locations in advance in order to venture out of their homes. Participants had discussed faecal incontinence with an IBD nurse and a doctor, but none had met a continence nurse. Furthermore, none of the participants had been told about potential faecal incontinence or ways to manage it. Some participants felt that diet had improved their bowel function, although health care personnel had said in their guidance that diet has no effect on faecal incontinence. Participants also felt that they would have needed information regarding the risk of faecal incontinence and wished that they had been heard regarding problems caused by faecal incontinence. Conclusion IBD patients need guidance from health care personnel and information regarding faecal incontinence to balance their bowel function. Health care personnel taking care of IBD patients in Finland needs more training on faecal incontinence, and in addition, more guidance and criteria on when to direct a patient to a continence nurse is needed.

Inflammatory Bowel

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and life-long disease characterized by gastrointestinal tract inflammation. It is caused by the interplay of the host’s genetic predisposition and immune responses, and various environmental factors. Despite many treatment options, there is no cure for IBD. The increasing incidence and prevalence of IBD and lack of effective long-term treatment options have resulted in a substantial economic burden to the healthcare system worldwide. Biologics targeting inflammatory cytokines initiated a shift from symptomatic control towards objective treatment goals such as mucosal healing. There are seven monoclonal antibody therapies excluding their biosimilars approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for induction and maintenance of clinical remission in IBD. Adverse side effects associated with almost all currently available drugs, especially biologics, is the main challenge in IBD management. Natural products have significant potential as therapeutic agents with an increasing role in health care. Given that natural products display great structural diversity and are relatively easy to modify chemically, they represent ideal scaffolds upon which to generate novel therapeutics. This review focuses on the pathology, currently available treatment options for IBD and associated challenges, and the roles played by natural products in health care. It discusses these natural products within the current biodiscovery research agenda, including the applications of drug discovery techniques and the search for next-generation drugs to treat a plethora of inflammatory diseases, with a major focus on IBD.
