Filter by:The objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Skal Pro in alleviating symptoms, enhancing stool consistency, improving quality of life, and addressing psychological distress in individuals diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as compared to those who receive no intervention.
This is a prospective, multicenter, interventional study assessing CE, in patients already scheduled for colonoscopy at tertiary referral hospitals, as a technique to reduce the number of unnecessary colonoscopies and identify patients to prioritize in endoscopy waiting lists.
It is estimated that about 20% of colonoscopies have inadequate preparation. (5) This is associated with lengthy procedures and less detection of adenomas, reduces the screening intervals, and increases the costs and risks of complications. Several strategies have been proposed to improve the quality of bowel preparation. Mobile healthcare Apps have been developed to increase adherence to bowel preparation agents, improving the quality of bowel preparation. However, adherence to mobile healthcare Apps is also a quality criterion and a pending problem to solve with this new technology. GastroBot is a new technology based on artificial intelligence that allows, through a software bot, to carry out a personalized follow-up of the patient's bowel cleansing, advising the patient to overcome contingencies that arise with the preparation, which in other circumstances could lead to the failure of it. The primary aim of this study is to determine the improvement in bowel preparation after GastroBot assistance compared with the traditional explanation. As a secondary aim, this study also pursues to determine adenoma and polyp detection rates (ADR and PDR, respectively), bowel preparation agents' tolerance, and GastroBot functionality.
Our study aims to improve adherence to international clinical guidelines of repeating colonoscopy within 1 year, when bowel cleansing has failed. To this end, we have designed an ambispective study in patients with inadequately prepared colonoscopy. An intervention group to which a precise written recommendation on the need to repeat the colonoscopy in less than 1 year is attached, compared with a control group to which no written recommendations are provided. The sample size calculation is 171 patients per arm. In addition, we will quantify the percentage of pre-malignant and malignant lesions detected at repeat colonoscopy. We will also analyze factors that may be related to the recommendation or non-recommendation of repeat colonoscopy, as well as the association of variables related to adherence to repeat colonoscopy at an interval of less than 1 year. Through our study, we intend to demonstrate that a written recommendation, easily applicable and generalizable, has a positive impact on adherence to clinical follow-up guidelines in patients in whom bowel cleansing has failed.
Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of lavender oil inhalation on the anxiety and comfort levels of patients who will undergo colonoscopy. Material and Method: In this randomized controlled, prospective study, 73 experimental and 72 control group patients who will experience colonoscopy in a training and research hospital in western Turkey were included. While lavender inhalation was applied to the patients in the experimental group, routine care was applied to the patients in the control group. The short-form state-trait anxiety scale and general comfort scale were used to collect data before and after the procedure. p<0.05 level was considered statistically significant.
To validate the performance of the Poseidon System™ for fluid management during water-aided endoscopic procedures in the colon.
This is a qualitative interview study to understand patients' priorities for different aspects of tests when considering a colonic investigation. Patients currently waiting for colon capsule endoscopy (CCE), and colonoscopy will be invited to take part. Semi-structured interviews will be carried out over the telephone following an interview guide. Recorded interviews will be transcribed and undergo thematic analysis. We will seek to publish the results of this study to inform future research and developments for colonic investigations.
Currently, the question remains whether palliative primary tumor resection could improve overall survival of minimally symptomatic patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous unresectable metastases. The aim of this study is to determine if there is an improvement in overall survival of palliative primary tumor resection followed by chemotherapy in minimally symptomatic patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous unresectable metastases compared to those of upfront chemotherapy/radiotherapy alone.
This study compares the effectiveness and stability of intestinal tablet (OST), an oral sulfate table (OST), developed in the form of pills, with 2L-PEG/Asc for examinees aged 70 or older who are scheduled for colonoscopy.
The primary aim of this study is to compare the rate of acute urinary retention (AUR) after immediate compared to early (24-hours) removal of urinary catheter (UC) in patients undergoing minimally invasive colorectal resection. The study hypothesis is that immediate UC removal is non-inferior to 24-hours UC removal in terms of AUR rate. The secondary outcomes focus on goals that could be positively impacted by the immediate removal of the UC at the end of the surgery. In particular, the rate of urinary tract infections, perception of pain, time-to-return of bowel and physical functions, postoperative complications and postoperative length of stay will all be measured.
