Filter by:The goal of this study is to optimize Barrett's Esophagus (BE) screening to reduce the incidence, morbidity, and mortality of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC).
The RETHINK REFLUX Registry is a post-market prospective, multi-center, observation, single arm, long-term safety surveillance registry of subjects implanted with the LINX device. The primary objective of the study is to confirm the long-term safety profile of the LINX device and procedure (implant/explant) up to 10 years post-implant.
Gastric and oesophageal (OG) cancer associated with poor long term outcome as overall less than 25% of patients survive for more than 5 years due to late recognition of the disease. Growing evidence suggests an important role for bacteria in OG cancer and gastro esophageal reflux disease (GORD) development. About 1 in 10 people suffer from GORD and this one of the most common conditions leading to gastric and oesophageal cancer. In GORD surgical therapy is the most successful preventing cancer but around 85% of patient experience complications afterwards. Acid suppressing medications are reducing the risk of oesophageal cancer but equally increasing the risk of gastric cancer. They also shorten patients' life expectancy and often fail to provide relief. Analysis of stool samples of patients with GORD demonstrated different gut bacterial compositions to normal and rather resembled the one found in cancer. There is a clear need to improve the outcome of OG cancer. This could be achieved by identifying bacteria responsible for cancer development in gastric tissue, gastric content and saliva and potentially eliminate them hence avoid the development of cancer.
To determine the effect of transpyloric (TP) feeding on microaspiration and lung inflammation in ventilated preterm infants.
Obesity and related metabolic diseases have become a chronic disease that is a threat to human health. Bariatric surgery can effectively and long-term reduce excess body weight and relieve related metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy are commonly used in bariatric surgery. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy due to simple operation, good weight loss, and metabolic disease control effect, which is more widely used. However, there are several studies that show an increased chance of gastroesophageal reflux disease after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Long-term gastroesophageal reflux may lead to Barrett's esophagus or esophageal cancer. Nowadays, the cause of gastroesophageal reflux disease after sleeve gastrectomy is not clear and precautionary measures are not precise. In this study, prospective randomized controlled trials were conducted to explore the possible causes of gastroesophageal reflux after sleeve gastrectomy and to explore ways to prevent gastroesophageal reflux disease after sleeve gastrectomy.
This study will evaluate the effect of CYP2C19 and ABCB1 genes on pharmacokinetics of lansoprazole in children with mild gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and uncontrolled asthma. It will determine if genotype-guided lansoprazole dosing of lansoprazole improves GER and asthma control.
Prospective registry comparing outcomes after laparoscopic treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and hiatal hernia.
Lesogaberan may be used in Chinese GERD patients with partial response to PPI.
Prospective, open-label, multi-centre, single arm treatment only trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of RefluxStop for the treatment of GERD. The used medical device "RefluxStop" is an implantable single use sterile device to ensure maintenance of gastro oesophageal junction (GEJ) in an intra-abdominal position to reduce or eliminate GERD.
In recent years, there is an increasing trend in the number of patients with Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The poor response to medicine was noticed in patients with non-erosive reflux disease. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture Neiguan (P6 point) could improve the uncomfortable symptoms of the chest and upper abdomen. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of Neiguan (P6 point) acupressure in patients with GERD.
