Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation on the gastrointestinal symptoms, autistic symptoms and emotional behavior symptoms of patients with autism spectrum disorder, and investigate the relations between the brain-gut axis, cytokines and autism spectrum disorder. Fecal microbiota transplantation have the potentials to improve intestinal microbiota composition, regulate immunity, and then improve gastrointestinal symptoms, autistic symptoms, emotional behavior symptoms and sleep of children with autism spectrum disorder. Early intervention at school-age may even benefit development, improve cognition and prognosis.
The goal of this randomised trial is to learn about the role of AI in clinical coding practice. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the AI-based CAC system reduce the burden of clinical coding and also improve the quality of such coding? Participants will be asked to code clinical texts both while they use our CAC system and while they do not.
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a dietary supplement (greens powder), on improving digestive health, quality of life, energy levels, and satiety over a 14-day period. Participants, aged 18-65 and experiencing mild digestive issues, will consume the greens powder daily and report outcomes through diaries and questionnaires.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) visual impression is operator-dependant and can hinder diagnostic accuracy, especially in less experienced endoscopists. The implementation of artificial intelligence can potentially mitigate operator dependency and interpretation variability, helping or improving the overall accuracy. The investigators therefore aim to compare diagnostic accuracy between artificial intelligence (AI)-based model and the endoscopists when identifying normal anatomical structures in EUS-procedures.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the levels of urinary environmental toxins, heavy metals, PFAS and mycotoxins with gastrointestinal (GI) and overall health.
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.
The goal of this single-centre observational study conducted at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow, Scotland, is to employ a multi-omics approach to investigate the "gut-lung axis" in health and disease. Part A is a cross-sectional study design investigating the postulated bidirectional link between the gut and lung microbiomes in children suffering from respiratory or gastrointestinal conditions. Children with no GI or respiratory issues attending for orthopaedic care will be used as a benchmark for a healthy gut-lung axis. The main questions we aim to answer are: - What does a healthy gut-lung axis look like? - Do children with respiratory issues show an altered gut microbiome? - Do children with GI issues show an altered lung microbiome? Part B is a longitudinal study design, that aims to assess the effects of biologics on the gut-lung axis by comparing the gut and lung microbiomes in children with asthma at two time-points who are indicated to start biologics therapy (Asthma treatment) or will not receive biologics therapy (asthma control). Participants will provide: - airway samples (to investigate the lung microbiome) - blood samples (to assess inflammatory and metabolic factors which may mediate communication between the two sites) whilst under general anaesthetic for a treatment related to their standard of care - stool samples (to assess gut microbiome) - dietary information (food diary and/or food frequency questionnaire) to assess relationships between diet and the gut-lung axis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of trimebutine and probiotics in treating Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders (FAPD) in a pediatric population. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is trimebutine effective in reducing the symptoms of FAPD in children? Are probiotics effective in reducing the symptoms of FAPD in children? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups (trimebutine/probiotics, probiotics/placebo, or trimebutine/placebo). Undergo measurements for pain and other relevant metrics at the start of the study, after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks. Researchers will compare the trimebutine/probiotics group to the probiotics/placebo and the trimebutine/placebo groups to see if there are significant differences in the efficacy of these treatments in reducing symptoms of FAPD in children.
The purpose of this study is to determine if virtual reality (VR) will improve symptoms in non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP).
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect on the microbiota and the reduction in the number and/or intensity of symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort of consuming a probiotic or placebo for 6 weeks in adult women and men. The main questions to answer are: 1. To study changes in the alpha diversity of the microbiota. 2. To evaluate changes in the salivary cortisol. For this purpose, a randomized, double blind crossover study has been designed. Target sample size is 30 subjects. Participants will be allocated in two groups for 16 weeks (6 weeks consuming one of the products + 4 weeks wash-out period + 6 weeks consuming the other product). - Group 1 (n=15): 6 weeks daily consumption of one probiotic capsule + 4 weeks wash-out period+ 6 weeks daily consumption of one placebo capsule. - Group 2 (n=15): 6 weeks daily consumption of one placebo capsule + 4 weeks wash-out period+ 6 weeks daily consumption of one probiotic capsule.
