Filter by:Anaemia (low haemoglobin levels) can develop in a number of conditions, including chronic kidney disease (CKD) and intestinal conditions (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal failure). Intravenous iron can be given to patients with these conditions to help correct their aneaemia. However, intravenous iron has been associated with the development of low phosphate levels - hypophophosphataemia. The aim of this study is to determine potential causes of hypophosphataemia following administration of intravenous iron.
This study evaluates the effect of squatting on the toilet on gastric transit time and complete examination rate of capsule endoscopy.In the observation group, the patients could go to squatting on the toilet at any time as they want to after taking the capsule.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) involving the colon is a known risk for colon cancer. There are two standards-of-care colonoscopy techniques used for screening all patients who suffer from IBD for more than eight years. One method is to obtain random biopsies throughout the colon and the other is by using dye spraying chromo-colonoscopy. This trial aims to study the difference between the two colonoscopy techniques during the era of high definition camera in detecting neoplastic lesions during screening patients with long-standing IBD.
Background: Bacteria that live inside the stomach and intestines are important for health. Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can make people have unhealthy bacteria. This can lead to gastrointestinal (GI) problems. Researchers want to see if people with CGD and IBD feel better when they change the bacteria in the stomach by following a special liquid diet. Objective: To see if an elemental diet can change the bacteria in the stomach and intestines of people with CGD and IBD. Also, to see if this helps GI symptoms. Eligibility: People ages 8-65 years with CGD, CGD-associated colitis, and IBD. Design: Participants will first be screened with: Upper GI endoscopy and/or colonoscopy. A long, thin tube with a tiny camera at the end will be passed into the participant s body through the mouth or anus. Tissue will be collected. Participants will be sedated for the procedure. They will be sedated using a special mask or small plastic tube placed in an arm vein using a needle. Participants will be put on the special diet for up to 4 weeks. They will stay in the hospital for the first 1-2 weeks. They will have check-ups. They will have blood, urine, and stool samples collected. They will keep a symptom diary to record how they feel and any GI symptoms. Participants will have 2 follow-up visits. The first will be right after they finish the diet. The second will be 4 weeks later. They will have blood, urine, and stool samples collected. They will learn about re-introducing other foods into their diet.
The purpose of this study is to test the utility of PET/MRI in diagnosis and management of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children and adolescents, hereby - To test if PET/MRI scan is an accurate method to diagnose and differentiate Crohn's disease and Ulcerous Colitis in children and adolescents suspected of IBD. - To evaluate whether PET/MRI scan in children and adolescents with Crohn's disease is an accurate method to diagnose relapses and to monitor the effect of biological treatment with monoclonal antibodies directed towards Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a a chronic, relapsing-remitting systemic disease. Vitamin D is a secosteroid hormone that possesses immunomodulatory properties and has been demonstrated to potentially influence inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis and activity.
The goal of the Precision Diagnosis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Cellular Therapies, and Transplantation (PREDICT) trial is to apply a systems-biology approach to enable precision diagnostics for the key immunologic outcomes for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Cellular Therapeutics and Transplantation. This approach will deepen the understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving auto- and allo-immune diseases and serve as a critical platform upon which to design evidence-based treatment paradigms for these patients. This research study will examine the immunology of auto- and allo-immune gastrointestinal disturbances such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD), and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorder (FGID), as well as the immune manifestations after CAR-T and other cellular therapeutics. The Investigators seek to use blood and tissue samples in order to better understand the mechanisms driving these diseases and their therapies. The Investigators further hypothesize that longitudinal systems-based immunologic analysis will enable the patient-specific determination of the molecular evolution of IBD, GVHD and the response to cellular therapeutics, as well post-transplant defects in protective immunity, and determine which pathways, when perturbed, can cause clinical disease. The discovery of these pathways will lead to improved diagnostic, prognostic and treatment approaches, and to personalized therapeutic decision-making for these patients.
Patients that have undergone a Fontan procedure (surgical correction for single ventricle congenital heart disease) may develop a complication known as protein-losing enteropathy (PLE). Some studies suggest PLE is primarily caused by impaired lymph flow. Use of continuous dopamine infusion can improve PLE. Evidence suggests the effect of dopamine may be through its effect on lymphatic function. This observational study looks at markers of lymph flow and PLE symptoms after treatment using dopamine and other standard therapies during disease exacerbations.
This prospective, non-interventional research registry is designed to study the comparative effectiveness and comparative safety of approved treatments for IBD in a cohort of patients cared for by gastroenterologists across North America. Secondary objectives include analyzing the epidemiology and natural history of the disease, its comorbidities, and current treatment practices.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the small bowel and colon. Main types include Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease. Symptoms are often difficult to distinguish except for location and nature of changes. IBD complex arises with interaction of environmental, genetic factors, immunological responses, and chronic and recurring inflammation. Many factor appear as contributory, but no single set of issues appear to explain the process. Microbiota, intestinal wall granulation or breach, dietary, genetic predisposition all appear to factors. Treatment is often reactive or suppressive medications, neither of which appears to reverse the disease processes. This study explores the value of a complex group of adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (AD-cSVF) in the disease process.
