Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare intravenous famotidine, an H2 receptor antagonist, and Maalox/ Mylanta, an oral antacid, in treatment of dyspepsia in the emergency department. The goal of this study is to reduce patients' pain based on the verbal numerical pain scale. The anticipated outcome is for pain levels in both groups to decrease. It is expected that antacids will improve symptoms more quickly and to a greater degree within an hour of taking medication based on the results of similar studies.
Patients with reflux disease (heart burn), or a hiatal hernia, who do not get better with medication, may have surgery to help with their symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no agreed upon way to perform the surgery. The investigators are using a new surgical instrument called the EndoFLIP which allows surgeons to take measurements during the operation. The investigators will compare the measurements obtained during surgery with a quality of life score that we will calculate from a questionnaire.
Commonly, in clinical practice an automated analysis of pH-MII tracings is obtained.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare whether the use of Ovitex mesh provides superior reduction in 2-year recurrence compared to pledgeted suture closure (no mesh) for patients undergoing paraesophageal hernia repair at the Cleveland Clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Determine whether there is a difference in 2-year rates of radiographic recurrence with Ovitex versus pledgeted sutures in paraesophageal hernia repair. - Assess patient quality of life (QOL) after paraesophageal hernia repair with pledgets and mesh. A two-tailed research hypothesis will be used to determine whether there are differences between the two arms
To study the role of a novel endoscopic treatment technique (ARMA) in GERD patients who doesn't respond to PPI therapy (Proton Pump Inhibitor).
The goal of this observational study has the purpose of collecting biological samples from obese patients undergoing evaluation for weight loss by means of medical or endoscopic therapies; and of post bariatric surgery patients presenting with short- and long-term surgical complications. The aim is to enhance the overall understanding of the mechanisms leading to obesity, weight loss, failure to lose weight, and weight regain following treatment. Additional goals are to determine the efficacy of endoscopic and surgical procedures, to identify potential therapeutic targets and disease biomarkers that predict response to therapy.
This post-market registry aims to assess safety and performance of RefluxStop™ in the treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in standard of care procedures.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. One of the main risk factor is obesity. Currently, either conservative treatment including pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modifications or surgical treatment are the only therapeutic options available in the Czech Republic, both approaches having their known limitations. Stretta is a minimally invasive endoscopic therapy using the radiofrequency energy delivered to the EGJ and cardia to eventually enhance the antireflux barrier. This study will attempt to get information regarding the treatment of GERD using Stretta in the Czech Republic and correlate results in obese and non-obese population.
Bodysurface gastric mapping (BSGM) will be used to assess gastric neuromuscular function in healthy controls and patients with medical refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Participants will undergo BSGM for 4-hours in addition to high resolution manometry (HRM), pH-impedance monitoring, and gastric emptying breath test.
This Study aims to develop machine learning models with the ability to predict patients' BMI and complications after Bariatric Surgery (CABS-Score). This Study also aims to develop machine learning models with the ability to predict diabetic (DM II)patients' remission rate after Bariatric Surgery. The service mentioned above will be publicly available as a web-based application
