Vitamin and micronutrient excess in patients with Crohn’s disease under oral am...
Oliveira, R.; Mendes, B.; Neves, J. Cunha; Amorim, E.; Roseira, J.; Sousa, H. Tavares deExclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is recommended for preoperative nutritional optimization (PNO) in adult Crohn's disease (CD) patients.

This study aims to assess the serum levels of vitamins and micronutrients in CD patients undergoing EE...
Characterization of Clostridioides strains and antibiotic resistance profile in...
Oliveira, R.; Sousa, H. Tavares de; Roseira, J.There is an increasing incidence of community-acquired Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), particularly in IBD. Due to a suspected community outbreak in mid-2023, we aimed to investigate the microbiological and antibiotic resistance profile of CDI in an IBD cohort, employing blind central reading, in order to better understand its epidemiology.
