Filter by:Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the commonest types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Both conditions range in severity from no symptoms to being potentially fatal. Both conditions are treated with medications which suppress the immune system. It is not known whether this increases the risk for infections and cancers in these conditions. It is also recognised by healthcare professionals that these conditions cause a considerable amount of psychological distress. However, this has never been measured in a large population sample. This study will investigate any associations with treatment and new onset infections and cancer. They will also examine the relationship between IBD and common mental health problems (specifically, depression and anxiety) and the impact that these have on the healthcare use (including number of general practitioner [GP] appointments, hospital attendances, and medication prescriptions. Combined, these studies should provide a better understanding of the impact of IBD on affected people and provide evidence to support the correct allocation of healthcare resources.
Blood clots occurring in the legs and in the lungs are relatively common; they occur in around 3 in a 1000 people per year. They can cause disability and are also potentially life threatening. When a clot occurs in the legs it is called a deep vein thrombosis or DVT. When they occur in the lungs they are called a pulmonary embolism or PE. The risk for DVT and PE is higher in people with conditions which cause inflammation. The most common of these are inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis (a condition comprised of psoriasis and joint inflammation). What is not known is how much higher the risk of DVT and PE is in these groups compared with people without inflammatory disease, and what causes the excess risk in these people. This study aims to assess the measure the exact increase in risk for DVT and PE in people with these inflammatory conditions and to identify which risk factors are most strongly associated with the increased risk. These data should help with an understand the causes of blood clot risk in these inflammatory conditions and in identify targets for reducing risk.
The investigators have designed a guided, online, tri-component, stress reduction intervention for participants with inflammatory bowel diseases.
Introduction: Helicobacter pylori has been linked to a variety of gastric and extra gastric diseases. Chronic infection with H. pylori causes histologically evident gastritis in all colonized individuals and is the predominant risk factor for gastric and duodenal ulcers as well as gastric adenocarcinoma. However, increasingly robust experimental and epidemiological evidence suggests that H. pylori may at the same time be beneficial to its carriers, as it efficiently prevents allergic disorders and chronic inflammatory conditions . Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic, nonspecific intestinal inflammation with an unexplained pathology and an alternating relapsing and remitting clinical progression. IBD is divided into two subtypes: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Most studies in the IBD field attribute its etiology to the complex interactions among immune dysfunction, genetic susceptibility of the host, and environmental risk factors. Since the twenty-first century, improving hygienic conditions and socioeconomic status have reduced the H. pylori infection rate and this trend has concurrently been accompanied by an increased IBD incidence in most countries Numerous studies have reported a lower H. pylori infection rate in patients with CD and/or UC than in non-IBD control individuals. although a small number of studies showed no significant association .Recently, emerging epidemiologic studies and animal experiments revealed an inverse correlation between H. pylori infection and IBD onset, suggesting that H. pylori colonization exerts a special protective effect on autoimmune diseases observation Cross sectional study will be conducted at assuit university hospitals on all patients with inflammatory disease to detect the prevalence of helicobacter pylori among them .Then the examined patients will be divided in to two group receiving the same medication group A : inflammatory bowel disease patient with H.PYLORI group B: inflammatory bowel disease Patient without H.PYLORI longitudinal study will be conducted to both group to study the clinical outcomes in both group .
This is a prospective, observational, multicenter study conducted in adult patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The study plans to recruit 300 subjects in the United States and Canada in which the participating physician has decided to treat with INFLECTRA. The study will evaluate treatment patterns, adherence, disease activity, remission status, relapse status, treatment satisfaction, and healthcare resource utilization. Patient outcomes will be assessed at four time points (quarterly) for approximately 52 weeks after the decision to initiate treatment with INFLECTRA.
This study evaluates nervous system hypersensitivity in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and experiences of ongoing musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. Previous results and current literature suggest that MSK pain in IBD may be influenced by hypersensitivity of the central nervous system, termed central sensitization. However, specific mechanisms contributing to pain experiences are unknown. Therefore, primary aims are to explore aspects of central sensitization through sensory testing in this population, and to investigate association of psychological and IBD features to sensory profiles. This study hypothesizes that IBD patients with MSK pain will demonstrate altered sensory function, and IBD/psychosocial features will be associated with altered sensory functioning and worse pain experiences.
The study is planned as a randomised control trial to study the adjuvant use of antibiotics (ceftriaxone and metronidazole) to achieve a clinical response in hospitalised patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis
Colonoscopy is the gold-standard for the evaluation of the colorectal mucosa. Colonoscopy quality indicators are the adenoma detection rate, the rate of cecal intubation and the bowel preparation. The role of diet in preparing for colonoscopy is not fully established. Currently there is not enough evidence available to choice between 3 days of low residue diet versus 1 day. The research hypothesis is that the low residue diet offers a non-inferior bowel preparation and an improved tolerance.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic idiopathic intestinal disorder involving the interplay of environmental, immunomodulatory and genetic causative factors. Treatment for IBD is multimodal and includes lifestyle modification, chronic pharmacotherapy and surgery. Given the need for chronic pharmacotherapy, medication adherence is a crucial therapeutic goal in the management of IBD. In fact, medication non-adherence has been associated with greater risk of relapse and increased healthcare costs. In a previous study, the investigators found clinically identifiable risk factors for non-adherence for self-injectable biologic medications in a population with moderate to severe CD. These risk factors included smoking, prior biologic use, psychiatric history, and current narcotic use. The primary objective of this study is to use a multidisciplinary team approach that implements a targeted coaching intervention to promote behavioral change and improve medication adherence in adult patients with IBD who are at high risk of non-adherence.
