Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the detected adenoma per colonoscopy (APC) in participants undergoing screening, surveillance, and positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT) or guaiac fecal occult blood test (gFOBT). There will be two arms in this study: WE water control and water plus artificial intelligence (AI). The main question it aims to answer is whether the addition of AI into water exchange (WE) colonoscopy increases APC than WE alone. The control method will use water instead of air inserted into the colon. The study method will use a commercially available AI system plus water during the procedure. Researchers will compare APCs to see if the addition of AI increases detection of adenomas during WE colonoscopy.
Microscopic colitis (MC) is an inflammatory bowel disease characterized by chronic non-bloody watery diarrhoea and a macroscopically normal colonic mucosa upon endoscopic exploration (colonoscopy). The diagnosis is performed by microscopic examination of mucosal biopsies that reveal specific histopathological change. Between 4-20% of patients with chronic non-bloody diarrhoea who undergo colonoscopy with serial biopsies are diagnosed with MC. It has long been hypothesized that the microbiome plays a key role in the pathogenesis of MC. In patients with collagenous colitis, faecal stream diversion results in inflammation and histological remission, followed by disease relapse after intestinal transit is reconstructed. Moreover, studies carried out with faecal samples obtained after colonoscopy have demonstrated microbiome changes (reduced alpha diversity and higher microbial dysbiosis index) in patients with active MC. To avoid potential bias due to the effect of colonic lavage prior to colonoscopy in microbiota composition, the researchers of the present study previously evaluated the microbiome in faecal samples obtained before the diagnostic colonoscopy in patients with active MC. The results confirmed a reduced alpha diversity in diarrhoea groups; however, there were no differences between MC, bile-acid diarrhoea and functional diarrhoea. The microbial dysbiosis index was significantly higher in MC compared to the other diarrheal groups, but no bacterial species showed a significantly different relative abundance. On the other hand, the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) or adenoma seems to be reduced in MC compared to controls. Growing evidence suggests microbial dysbiosis is a crucial environmental factor in the initiation of precancerous lesions of CRC such as adenomas. The objective of the current multicentric prospective study is to assess the differences in the mucosa adherent intestinal microbiome between patients with MC, non-MC chronic diarrhoea, healthy controls and patients with advanced colon adenomas. In addition to the study of the microbiome, sociodemographic variables, history of drug usage, diets and specific characteristics of diarrhoea will be collected. The hypothesis of the present study is that CM presents a specific mucosa adherent intestinal bacterial profile that may be relevant in the pathogenesis of the disease and that, additionally, may also play a protective role against the development of CRC and adenomas.
The aim of this study is to determine if fluorescence with or without indocyanine green can facilitate safe and accurate thyroid and parathyroid surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about physical activity's effect on health in people who have had surgery of a non-functioning pituitary adenoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do physical activity increase quality of life? - Do physical activity increase general health, cardiovascular fitness, self-efficacy and muscle strength and reduce fatigue and cardiovascular risk profile? Participants will at the start of the the study, at 6 months follow up and 12 months follow up: - Fill out health surveys - Perform a cycling test, hand strength test, chair stand test and wear and accelerometer for a week - Undergo a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry to measure muscle and fat mass - Leave blood samples Researchers will compare those who are randomized to the intervention and see a physiotherapist to get an individualized and person-centred prescription of physical activity plan and those who are randomized not to be in the intervention to see if physical activity increases quality of life and general health.¨.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the diagnostic yield of CADe in a consecutive population undergoing colonoscopy. The main question it aims to answer is the Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR). Participants undergoing colonoscopy for follow-up in a screening setting will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either receive Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) colonoscopy or a conventional colonoscopy (CC). GI Genius is the AI software that will be used in the present trial and is intended to be used as an adjunct to colonic endoscopy procedures to help endoscopists to detect in real time mucosal lesions (such as polyps and adenomas, including those with flat (non-polypoid) morphology) during standard screening and surveillance endoscopic mucosal evaluations. It is not intended to replace histopathological sampling as a means of diagnosis.Researchers will compare the CADe group and the CC-group to see if CAD-e can increase the ADR significantly.
In this retrospective study is to establish a diagnostic model for rectal adenoma canceration. The model will include multimodal comprehensive HR-T2WI morphological score, IVIM functional imaging and radiomics features, and clinical indicators such as tumor markers, serum Gelsolin protein and peripheral blood inflammatory cell ratio. It can be to provide accurate diagnostic information for patients before surgery, which is of great value for formulating personalized treatment plans and improving the prognosis of patients.
The goal of this prospective study is to learn about the operative outcomes in patients with pituitary adenoma who receive endoscopic resection. The main question it aims to answer is: • What are the outcomes of patient following endoscopic resection? including visual, hormonal, survival, and functional outcomes. Participants' data including clinical history, laboratory data, radiographic images, intraoperative videos will be evaluated and analyzed.
This is a nationwide cohort study on integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine for colorectal cancer. The aim is to elucidate the distribution patterns of TCM syndromes in colorectal cancer and colorectal adenoma, reveal the relationship between TCM syndromes and diagnosis, prognosis, and prognosis. Based on biological samples, a phenotypic omics study of TCM syndromes in colorectal cancer and colorectal adenoma is conducted.
- 10% of patients with hypertension potentially have the treatable condition - primary aldosteronism (PA). This is caused by either bilateral adrenal disease (~40%), managed with lifelong medications; or unilateral disease (~60%), cured with laparoscopic surgery (adrenalectomy). Current diagnosis of PA includes a screening test with aldosterone-renin ratio, followed by a confirmatory salt loading test (in most patients) to demonstrate unsuppressed aldosterone levels. Of note, some patients with suppressed aldosterone after confirmatory tests (also termed low-renin hypertension) may also have unilateral adrenal tumors. - The difficulty with identifying curable unilateral disease is due to adrenal vein sampling (AVS): an invasive, and technically-difficult procedure. An alternative novel imaging, 11C-Metomidate Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), can detect adrenal tumors which are over-producing aldosterone. It is non-invasive, non-operator-dependent, and potentially may identify more patients with curable unilateral disease. The results from our pilot study in 25 patients with confirmed PA (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03990701, PA_CURE) showed that 11C-Metomidate PET-CT exhibited comparable performance to AVS in subtyping PA, and this should be validated in a larger study. - In addition, 11C-Metomidate is also able to differentiate adrenocortical lesions in the adrenal gland from other lesions found in adrenal tissue, such as adrenomedullary lesions (e.g. pheochromocytoma). - Hence, the investigators hypothesize that 11C-metomidate PET-CT can accurately (1) identify patients with surgically curable unilateral adrenal disease among hypertensive Asians with primary aldosteronism (PA_CURE 2 / PA_MTO EH study) and (2) differentiate adrenocortical lesions from other lesions in patients with adrenal tumors (PA_MTO AT study)
WHYSKI is a prospective within-patient observational clinical study designed to test the hypothesis that alterations of Na+, K+, water, and the lympho-angiogenetic transcription factor Tonicity Enhancing Binding Protein (TonEBP) mRNA take place in the interstitium of the skin compartment of patients with arterial hypertension due to primary aldosteronism in whom hypertension can be surgically cured.
