Efficacy of Fermented Brown Rice by Aspergillus oryzae (FBRA) in Ulcerative Colitis: A Double‐Blind Randomized Trial

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a diffuse, nonspecific inflammation of the colon of unknown cause. Basic and clinical studies suggest that UC may be ameliorated by dietary fiber intake. Fermented brown rice by Aspergillus oryzae (FBRA) is produced by fermenting brown rice and bran with A. oryzae. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of FBRA

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 64, Issue 7, Page 985-1000, October 2026.
In 503 acute UC admissions, colectomy risk was equivalent between TWC‐positive ASUC and NASUC inpatients after propensity score matching for objective disease severity and treatment exposure; lowering the CRP threshold to ≥ 12 mg/L reclassified 26% of NASUC cases as ASUC and captured 43% of those requiring colectomy within one year, improving ...

Long‐term patient‐reported outcomes and toxicity following salvage radiotherapy for biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy

Cancer, Volume 132, Issue 18, 15 September 2026.
Abstract Background Salvage radiotherapy (RT) after prostatectomy is common, but studies reporting long‐term follow‐up on patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) and toxicity are limited. The authors report the largest cohort of patients treated with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) to date assessing patient‐reported quality of life (QOL) and physician‐
