Filter by:Precise activity assessment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is essential to determine the extent and severity of the disease for further specific therapy. Nevertheless, despite ongoing developments in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy, the final diagnosis still relies on the interpretation of histopathological features of intestinal biopsies taken during the endoscopic examination. Recently, endocytoscopy (EC) was introduced as a new endoscopic imaging modality, enabling microscopic imaging within the mucosal layer of the gut at a magnification level of up to 1400-fold.
UCSD researchers are conducting a study aimed to develop and evaluate a chronic disease self management web and text message based program on health-related self-efficacy and frequency of adolescent-conducted healthcare interactions. We hypothesize that users of the program will demonstrate greater gains between baseline and 8 month measures of health related self-efficacy and adolescent-conducted healthcare interactions as compared to the usual care comparison group.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single oral ascending doses of E6007 in healthy subjects.
Factors forecast Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) remain at present essentially on clinical factors (extension of the disease, achievement of the perianal ring, requirement of surgery, treatment by immunomodulators…). All IBD specific immunological or serological markers showed only a diagnostic role for indefinite colitis (hemorrhagic Rectocolitis vs Crohn Disease) but were never able to be considered as predictive elements of adults IBD evolution. Among the most used, the presence of ANCA's antibody and ASCA allows to separate hemorrhagic rectocolitis (ANCA + / ASCA-) from Crohn disease (ANCA-/ASCA +) and their combination present an average sensibility about 85 % and a 85 % specificity. However, 8 other antibody types were recently isolated and estimated individually during IBD in particular during child Crohn diseases (anti-OmpC, anti-I2, anti-CBir1, anti-glycans (ALCA, AMCA and ACCA) anti-Goblet cells and albicans Candida's specific anti-mannan). These complementary assays improve significantly the reliability of the diagnosis. However, if the use of these new markers has an indisputable diagnostic role, their predictive role in the evolution of IBD was estimated at the adult's only rarely during Crohn diseases. Consequently, the investigators suggest realizing an exhaustive analysis of all these new immunological markers to define, if their association can have an interest in the differentiation of stable (or little evolutionary) and unstable (or quickly evolutionary) clinical forms.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmakokinetic properties of higher doses (500 mg and 1000 mg) of Monofer(R)in patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the consumption of yogurt added with bifidobacteria and soluble fiber on gastrointestinal function of healthy adults. A product as herein described is expected to improve gastrointestinal function and maintain the intestinal microflora balance of healthy subjects and perhaps of patients with altered bowel functions.
Patients receiving perioperative intravenous lidocaine, post operative restoration of bowel movement will be faster and decrease pain intensity, opioid consumption and side effects, length of hospital stay; probably as a result of a significant opioid sparing and attenuated inflammatory response.
Based on the anti-inflammatory and stabilising effect of the AbM, (Agaricus Blazei Murill) based mushroom extract AndoSanTM on cytokine release in blood in vivo and ex vivo in healthy volunteers after 12 days consumption, the aim in this study is to investigate whether same effect is valid in patients with IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). In addition, calprotectin an abundant cytosolic protein in neutrophils and a surrogate marker for degree of intestinal inflammation will be measured in blood and feces of these patients.
The study aims at showing that the susceptibility in the stress is more raised at the person affected digestive pathologies (SII or IBD) in forgiveness than healthy subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a trans-endoscopic capsule placement Capsule Endoscopy Delivery System.
