Filter by:Diabetes mellitus is a hyperglycemic metabolic disorder due to insulin deficiency or resistance at its receptors, leads to impaired glucose metabolism and multi-organ affection; (optic, peripheral neurological, cardiovascular and renal).
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of treatment (medical and/or surgical) on Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in participants with Crohn's Disease (CD) and Complex Perianal Fistula (CPF), by the Quality of Life in patients with Anal Fistula Questionnaire (QoLAF-Q), at 12 months after treatment initiation in routine clinical practice.
Young people with IBD face all the usual complexities of growing up, with the additional complications of having a chronic health condition, often recently diagnosed, which can have a detrimental impact on their mental health. This research seeks to examine the potential effectiveness of a two-stage intervention for young people with IBD via a pilot feasibility trial. First, a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) group with a "Mindfulness based compassionate living" (MBCL) group delivered soon afterwards. Both interventions will be delivered online. MBSR aims to increase peoples awareness of their tendency to get caught up in thoughts and help them live in the present moment. Once an individual has achieved greater awareness of their thought processes, MBCL then aims to help individuals to become kinder to themselves, and less critical. We know from interview studies with young people with IBD that they can be harsh on themselves about how they are coping, and being harsh and critical can impact wellbeing. By targeting mindfulness and self-compassion we hope to demonstrate a positive impact on wellbeing, by reducing stress, anxiety and depression and improving quality of life (primary outcome measures) for young people with IBD and equip them with a mindfulness practice to use in the future as they continue to manage their IBD.
This study will investigate the safety, efficacy and dose-response of NPO-13 in subjects with moderate to severe colonic spasm during colonoscopy. An intraluminal spraying of NPO-13 dosed up to twice into ascending or sigmoid colon. The colonic spasm will be assessed by an independent committee using recorded video images. The study consists of a screening visit window, 1-day treatment phase and 1-week follow-up phase.
The goal of this study is to better understand the mechanisms responsible for the development of and the severity of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), such as Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, which cause inflammation of the gut as well as potentially affecting other areas of the body
This study evaluates a range of endoscopic image enhancement techniques for assessing conditions involving the gastrointestinal tract. This study aims to determine: (i) the accuracy of different techniques to diagnose or grade severity of several gastrointestinal conditions (ii) if image-enhancement techniques could potentially replace investigations currently used in daily practice (e.g. biopsy) with a view to reduce costs and shorten the interval to initiate treatment
IMPROVE-IT2 is a randomized multicenter trial comparing the outcomes of ctDNA guided post-operative surveillance and standard-of-care CT-scan surveillance. The hypothesis of this study is that ctDNA guided post-operative surveillance combining ctDNA and radiological assessments could result in earlier detection of recurrent disease and identify more patients eligible for curative treatment.
This is an Open, Single Arm, Exploratory and Phase II Clinical Trial of Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules Combined With CAPEOX in RAS and BRAF wild-type patients with Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma(CRC) as 1st Therapy. After 6 cycles of combined therapy, patients will receive capecitabine and anlotinib as maintenance therapy until tumor progression.In order to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules combined with CAPEOX in treatment of patients with mCRC. The patients who are pathologically confirmed as RAS and BRAF wild-type mCRC will be enrolled. Condition or disease Invention/treatment Phase Colorectal Cancer Drug: Anlotinib Hydrochloride Drug: Capecitabine Drug: Oxaliplatin Phase 2
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory condition of the intestine, which results in diarrhea, rectal bleeding, urgency, weight loss and abdominal pain. The natural course of IBD is characterized by activity outbreaks and periods of remission. In most cases, relapses in Crohn's disease (CD) and in ulcerative colitis (UC) are unpredictable and despite effective medical treatment, a degree of subclinical inflammation may persist in the bowel wall, contributing to a significant risk of relapse. In IBD, altered fecal microbiota signatures have been consistently reported which included a reduction in biodiversity with lower proportions of Firmicutes and increases in Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes phylum members. It is however unclear whether changes in microbial profile including diversity and composition can predict disease relapse in IBD. We hypothesize that fecal microbial signatures in conjunction with fecal calprotectin may play a role in predicting relapse in IBD patients.
Children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk of poor bone and muscle health through a variety of factors, including underlying disease processes, nutritional deficits, and reduced physical activity. Inflammatory bowel disease can also delay the onset of puberty in children, and pubertal development in adolescents, resulting in sub-optimal adult bone mass, therefore increasing future risk of fractures and osteoporosis. High impact exercise may be a useful additional therapy for adolescents with IBD, as the mechanical strains produced during this type of exercise, through high force muscular contractions and ground reaction forces, can promote bone formation and gains in muscle mass. There have been no previous studies assessing the effects of high impact exercise in IBD, so it is unknown if this type of exercise is feasible in this population. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a short term jumping based exercise intervention for improving muscle and bone outcomes in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease.
