Filter by:This study aims to investigate how knowledge of gluten immunogenic peptide (GIP) levels in stool and urine affects subsequent adherence to a gluten-free diet. Half of the participants will receive results in real-time using a home device and the other half will store samples to be tested at the end of the 30 week study. Participants will also have a diet review with a dietitian at the beginning of the end of their study and be asked questions about their symptoms, gluten-free diet adherence and quality of life.
The objective of this RCT is to determine the efficacy of a single preoperative dose of Dexamethasone for accelerating the recovery and reducing the incidence of postoperative complications in adult patients undergoing intestinal resection for inflammatory bowel disease.
The purpose of this observational study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of biosimilar Infliximab in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Saudi Arabia where no visits or intervention(s) additional to the daily practice will be performed.
This pilot study will examine the benefit of this amino acid based hydration solution in patients with IBD who have undergone a total colectomy and have either ileostomies or jpouches. Findings from this study and possible future studies could have broad implications for patients with malabsorption resulting from many underlying conditions, including IBD.
assessment of inflammatory bowel disease patients in activity and remission by abdominal ultrasound examine non-invasive and in physiological condition by measuring the colon wall thickness in diagnosis and follow up the patient also including extra intestinal features such as the splanchnic vessels,mesentery and lymph nodes . Doppler u.s can evaluate bowel wall vascularity In activity and remission . peripheral hemogram in relationship to activity inflammatory bowel disease asses anemia ,increase monocyte and decrease mean platelet volume( MPV) . also,the investigator will evaluate the outcome of different lines of treatment traditional and biologic therapy (response to treatment,times of activity and complications)
The purpose of this study is to see if advanced endoscopic imaging may be helpful to accurately distinguish pathological tissue from normal tissue and guide therapy of endoscopically identified pathology.
Aim of the work: To evaluate the role of CT in diagnosis of IBD
The purpose of this study is to find out if transplant of fecal matter (stool), also known as fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), from a healthy person into the intestines of children and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). For this study children between the ages of 5-17years will be recruited over 2 years. Children will be recruited who receive an ASD diagnosis using the gold-standard Autism Diagnosis Observation Schedule -2 (ADOS-2) using module 1, 2 or 3 (none, limited or no moderate expressive language). Children diagnosed with these modules of the ADOS-2 may be at greater risk for GI disorders and rigid-compulsive behaviors. Additional assessment of rigid-compulsive behaviors and social communication will be done using the Repetitive Behavioral Scales-Revised (RBS-R) and Social Responsiveness Scale-2 (SRS-2), respectively. KBIT (the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test) is used at baseline to obtain patient IQ. Total evaluation time is approximately 90 minutes. Following baseline symptom evaluation, a medical exam will be performed to determine whether each child is expressing specific GI symptoms. In addition, parents will fill out the Questionnaire for Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms- Rome III (QPGS-III). Once an ASD diagnosis is confirmed, FMT treatment will be initiated, which typically occurs within 4-6 weeks of the initial diagnosis. Half 50% of the children (n=5) will receive the equivalent of 50 g of stools from a healthy donor into the jejunum through upper endoscopy and the other 50% off children (n=5) will receive Saline solution as Placebo control through upper endoscopy. Subjects will have a total of 5 visits within 24 weeks including phone call follow up on Day 7 after FMT.
There are many limitations in the current treatments of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases(IBD) which includes Ulcerative Colitis（UC) and Crohn's Disease(CD). Some patients have no or little reaction to the traditional drugs. Now the investigators realized that the intestinal microbiota is closely associated with the development of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. In recent years, a retrospective study showed that the overall efficiency of intestinal microbiota transplantation for IBD was 79%, the overall remission rate was 43%, which opened a new chapter in the treatment of IBD. So the standardized intestinal microbiota transplantation is considered to be simple but effective emerging therapies for the treatment of IBD. In this project the investigators intend to carry out a single-center, randomized, single-blind clinical intervention study. The investigators plan to recruit patients with IBD in China. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, one group will be given treatment of standardized intestinal microbiota transplantation, the other will be simply treated with traditional drugs, followed up for at least 1 year. The investigators aim to determine the efficiency, durability and safety of Intestinal Microbiota Transplantation for IBD treatment, and further to explore which major bacteria may effect in this project.
This is a clinical trial of nabilone for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) who are undergoing IBD-related surgery (Any abdominal surgery lasting for more than one hour). This study would include a total of 80 patients undergoing general surgery who will have Intravenous Patient Controlled Analgesia (IVPCA) after surgery. It is the intention to randomize these patients postoperatively into 2 groups of 40 patients: 1. Patients who are chronic opioid users for chronic pain and have been exposed to cannabis or cannabinoid products, treated with IV PCA and nabilone as per protocol. 2. Patients who are chronic opioid users for chronic pain and have been exposed to cannabis or cannabinoid products, treated with IV PCA and placebo as per protocol. The goal is two-fold. One is to demonstrate that patients will benefit from post-operative nabilone administration to achieve/maintain the opioid-sparing and pain modulation effects. Second is to demonstrate patients will benefit from the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of nabilone to alleviate IBD symptoms and enhance recovery.
