Surgical Principles in the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis
Conclusion: A close cooperation between the various disciplines in the pre- and postoperative setting is essential for an optimal outcome of patients with UC. Despite a 30% rate of early postoperative complications, normal quality of life can ultimately be reached in more than 90% of patients in experienced centers.Viszeralmedizin 2015;31:246-250 (Source: Viszeralmedizin)

The New Era of Interferon-Free Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C
Conclusion: With the new, almost side effect-free DAA treatment options chronic HCV infection became a curable disease. The clinical benefit of DAA combination therapies in patients with advanced cirrhosis and the effects on incidence rates of hepatocellular carcinoma remain to be determined.Viszeralmedizin (Source: Viszeralmedizin)

Medical Therapy of Active Ulcerative Colitis
Conclusion: There is a great need for additional innovative therapies, especially in cases of primary non-response or secondary loss of response to anti-TNF antibodies. New small molecules (Janus kinase inhibitors) are promising with an acceptable safety profile and efficacy in UC. Further, strategies that target the intestinal microbiome are currently considered for patients with active or relapsing UC, and may in the future open up new therapeutic options.Viszeralmedizin (Source: Viszeralmedizin)
