Pandemic babies have a 46 percent higher risk of atopic diseases

05 Feb 2025 by

The incidence of atopic diseases in infants born in Hong Kong has increased by 46 percent during the COVID-19 pandemic, potentially linked to altered neonatal microbiome diversity resulting from vigorous disinfection. SIM03 and SIM05, symbiotic formulae developed with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI), are shown to improve eczema severity and quality of life (QoL) in children and adults, respectively, by modulating gut microbiota.

One monoclonal antibody outdoes another in real-world ulcerative colitis study

22 Jan 2025 by

The integrin receptor antagonist vedolizumab mostly works as well as the TNF-alpha inhibitor infliximab in biologic-naïve patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis treated in the real-world setting, although vedolizumab slightly surpasses infliximab in terms of inducing endoscopic response and remission while having a better safety profile, according to a study.
