Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, frequently associated with extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) that can severely affect IBD patients' quality of life, sometimes even becoming life-threatening. Respiratory diseases have always been considered a rare and subsequently neglected extraintestinal manifestations of IBD. However, increasing evidence has demonstrated that respiratory involvement is frequent in IBD patients, even in the absence of respiratory symptoms. Airway inflammation is the most common milieu of IBD-related involvement, with bronchiectasis being the most common manifestation. Furthermore, significant differences in prevalence and types of involvement are present between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The same embryological origin of respiratory and gastrointestinal tissue, in addition to exposure to common antigens and cytokine networks, may all play a potential role in the respiratory involvement. Furthermore, other causes such as drug-related toxicity and infections must always be considered. This article aims at reviewing the current evidence on the association between IBD and respiratory diseases. The purpose is to raise awareness of respiratory manifestation among IBD specialists and emphasize the need for identifying respiratory diseases in early stages to promptly treat these conditions, avoid worsening morbidity, and prevent lung damage.

Abstract
The most common indication for 18F-FDG PET/CT is tumor imaging, which may be performed for initial diagnosis, staging, therapeutic response monitoring, surveillance, or suspected recurrence. In the routine practice of pediatric nuclear medicine, most infectious, inflammatory, and autoimmune processes that are detected on 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging - except for imaging in fever or inflammation of unknown origin - are coincidental and not the main indication for image acquisition. However, interpreting these "coincidental" findings is of utmost importance to avoid erroneously attributing these findings to a neoplastic process. We review the recent literature on fever of unknown origin as well as inflammation of unknown origin in pediatrics and then focus on the 18F FDG PET/CT imaging findings seen in two specific entities with increased immune reactivity: hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis syndrome and the immune-related adverse events associated with checkpoint inhibitors. We will subsequently close with two sections highlighting related topics and relevant references for further reading.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a gastrointestinal disorder, affecting about several million people worldwide. Current treatments fail to adequately control some clinical symptoms in IBD patients, which can adversely impact the patient's quality of life. Hence, the development of new treatments for IBD is needed. Due to their unique properties such as biocompatibility and sustained release of a drug, biomaterials-based drug delivery systems can be regarded as promising candidates for IBD treatment. It is noteworthy that considering the pathophysiological changes occurred in the gastrointestinal tract of IBD patients, especially changes in pH, surface charge, the concentration of reactive oxygen species, and the expression of some biomolecules at the inflamed colon, can help in the rational design of biomaterials-based drug delivery systems for efficient management of IBD. Here, we discuss about targeting these pathophysiological changes using biomaterials-based drug delivery systems, which can provide important clues to establish a strategic roadmap for future studies.
