Case Series: Efficacy of Polyclonal Intravenous Immunoglobulin for Refractory Clostridioides difficile Infection (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) no longer features in treatment guidelines. However, IVIg is still used by some clinicians for severe or recurrent CDI (rCDI) cases. The main objective of this...

Safety and efficacy of autologous haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation with low-dose cyclophosphamide mobilisation and reduced intensity conditioning versus standard of care in refractory Crohn's disease (ASTIClite): an open-label, multicentre, randomised controlled trial (2024)
Journal Article

Background: A previous controlled trial of autologous haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with refractory Crohn's disease did not meet its primary endpoint and reported high toxicity. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy...

New concepts in C. difficile management (2019)
Journal Article

Background Clostridium difficile infection is transmitted via spores, and the disease is mediated via secreted toxins. It represents a significant healthcare problem, and clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic carriage to life-threatening... Read More about New concepts in C. difficile management.

Slow cycling intestinal stem cell and Paneth cell responses to Trichinella spiralis infection (2019)
Journal Article

There is limited information regarding responses by slow cycling stem cells during T. spiralis-induced T-cell mediated intestinal inflammation and how such responses may relate to those of Paneth cells. Transgenic mice, in which doxycycline induces e... Read More about Slow cycling intestinal stem cell and Paneth cell responses to Trichinella spiralis infection.

Pharmacokinetics and safety of fidaxomicin in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and Clostridium difficile infection: An open-label Phase IIIb/IV study (PROFILE) (2018)
Journal Article

©The Author(s) 2018. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. Objectives Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) poses an increased risk for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Fidaxomicin has...

Pathogenesis of Clostridium difficile infection and its potential role in inflammatory bowel disease (2015)
Journal Article

mild diarrhea to life-threatening colitis. Over the last 15 years, there has been a marked increase in the incidence of C. difficile infection, which predominantly affects elderly patients on antibiotics. More recently, there has been significant int... Read More about Pathogenesis of Clostridium difficile infection and its potential role in inflammatory bowel disease.

IL-36? induces maturation of Th1-inducing human MDDC and synergises with IFN-? to induce high surface expression of CD14 and CD11c (2015)
Journal Article

We show that IL-36? induced maturation of human MDDCs and stimulated differentiation of IFN-? producing (Type 1) CD3+ lymphocytes but was not as effective as IL-36? in doing so. For the first time, we also show that IL-36? induced expression of CD14...
