The recent observation about the increase in the incidence of Inflammatory BowelDisease (IBD) and especially that of Crohn’s disease is not a myth. Much speculationhas been done regarding the effect of some known and some unidentified risk fac-tors which might account for this steady rise but one cannot deny the contribution ofthe faster and more effective spread of information between the scientists and the development of more sophisticated diagnostic techniques which enabled us tostratify the disease in a more comprehensive way.Inflammatory bowel diseases come to the attention of the physician with differentfaces, different scenarios and even the same patient may show up with differentpatterns in various regions of the world. When the clinical course seems not to be going so well despite appropriate medica-tions, a search towards unexpected factors such as concomitant IBS, intercurrentinfections and drug toxicity such as aminosalicylates should be considered. Theimpact of parasites, notably of amoeba or giardia; bacterial or viral infections deservespecial attention in some parts of the world like the Eastern Mediterranean, NorthAfrica, Middle East and Asia. There is no single truth regarding the recognition and the management of IBD. In thisregards the old dictum stating “there is no disease but the patient“ should be thegolden rule. Nowadays, the observation of more complicated Crohn’s disease cases atrelatively young ages is not unusual. We come across with various clinical and extrain-testinal manifestations we have hardly seen before. The evolution of the therapeuticarmamentarium is now a double edged sword since “more drugs“ may signify “moreside effects, less compliance and more critical attitude of health authorities regardingreimbursement of the expenses”.Education of the patient and the family, creation of empathy and a positive mediumwith the patient and a careful analysis of confounding/contributing factors to thedisease behaviour are essential elements of an optimal therapy of IBD patients.

The Falk Symposium 159 on the “Achievements in Research and Clinical Practice inIBD” which will be held in Istanbul will be an excellent opportunity to discuss IBD andrelated issues in a less well known part of the world with respect to the prevalence,disease behaviour and patient’s characteristics as well as difficulties faced in the dif-ferential diagnosis and management.As Paracelsus stated “The art of medicine cannot be inherited, nor can it be copiedfrom books.” Nevertheless, it can be discussed in detail by the opinion leaders withworldwide reputation. From this standpoint there might be a conflict as to make adiagnosis of IBD with ample new techniques or to be more cost effective as SirWilliam Osler wisely expressed: “One finger in the throat and one in the rectummakes a good diagnostician.”

It is our great pleasure to host a Falk Symposium in Istanbul, a fairy city, a nice bridgebetween two continents, the seat of many civilizations, cultures, languages and reli-gion. This sacred piece of land with its fine attractions, waiting to be explored, willcertainly distract weary minds, fascinate the tired souls but also leave imprints inmemory as knowledge, images and exotic sounds.
