Filter by:Ulcerative proctitis can lead to considerable morbidity, and the available treatment options are limited. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychotropic ingredient of Cannabis sativa, possesses potent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties as described in both acute and chronic animal models of inflammation, including IBD models. Based on positive safety and initial efficacy profiles of CBD found in IBD animal and clinical studies, the main aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a novel enema formulation of CBD for the treatment of active ulcerative proctitis.
A prospective observational study to assess the energy needs of Ulcerative Colitis patients undergoing total proctocolectomy with ileoanal j-pouch anastomosis.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect on urine color by adding household bleach to fresh urine sample among pediatric UC subjects treated with 5ASA
Purpose of this phase 1/2a study is to assess the safety and efficacy of administration of allogeneic human oral mucosal stem cells (hOMSCs) in patients suffering from chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFU).
Patients with chronic ulcer needing tertiary care referred to the Wound Center of Tampere University Hospital are invited to this study. Patients are treated according to standard treatment practices. The temperature of the lower limbs and ulcer area is measured during visits using the Thermidas Remote thermal imaging system, a CE-marked medical device for measuring and monitoring changes in skin surface temperature non-invasively. The measured temperatures and differences are compared in different ulcer aetiology groups and analyzed whether thermal imaging can be used to distinguish atypical ulcers from vascular ulcers. Thermal imaging measurements and clinical examinations are repeated to the patients with atypical ulcers during follow-up visits. Monitoring of ulcers will continue until the ulcer has epithelized completely or for up to a year.
The investigators hope that the present study will highlight new transcriptomic prognostic markers of response to Ustekinumab with the ultimate goal of individualizing treatment and making a more targeted selection of UC patients who will benefit from this biological agent.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease that follows a course of remission and flare-ups. Especially during flare-ups, the worsening of symptoms negatively affects all aspects of the individual's life and decreases their quality of life. Individuals sometimes have difficulty accessing healthcare facilities. In addition, every hospital admission causes an additional burden on healthcare institutions and the individual, both physically and financially. Therefore, it is of great importance to support and develop self-management behaviors for individuals to control their symptoms. Progressive relaxation techniques are a relaxation method based on the principle of voluntary contraction and relaxation of muscle groups in our body. It has been reported that progressive relaxation techniques, which are applied in many chronic diseases and procedures, improve symptoms and disease parameters reported by individuals, especially pain, anxiety, and stress. When the literature in the world and Turkey is examined, no study applying progressive relaxation techniques to ulcerative colitis patients has been encountered. It is known that especially stress and anxiety affect the number and severity of flare-ups in ulcerative colitis patients. It is thought that this study will contribute to the self-management behaviors of ulcerative colitis patients in the rare diseases group for the Turkish population and fill the gap in the literature.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the non inferiority of linezolid compared with azithromycin as a treatment for yaws . The main questions it aims to answer are: can linezolid cure active yaws, and can linezolid cure latent yaws. Participants with serologically confirmed yaws will be randomized to receive linezolid (experimental) or azithromycin (control group) treatment and followed up to assess clinical resolution.
Stain Analysis Mapping of the Plantar surface (STAMP) is a method designed by the University of Leeds to measure 'in-shoe' strain patterns on the plantar surface of the foot. Shear Load Inductive Plantar Sensing (SLIPS) is an insole designed by the University of Leeds to measure plantar shear stress and plantar pressure. This study aims to compare plantar strain using STAMP and plantar shear stress and plantar pressure using SLIPS in two groups of patients with diabetes; high risk patients with a recently healed plantar ulcer and low risk patients (according to the NICE definition).
Objective disease assessment in inflammatory bowel diseases at the time of treatment initiation and during follow-up has become gold standard. However, biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin, fail to provide information on disease extent, location or complications. Repeated endoscopic assessments are performed to evaluate mucosal response to treatment, though associated costs, availability, invasiveness and patient preference are considerable limitations. Recently, intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has gained significant momentum as a non-invasive, easily accessible and low-cost alternative for objective assessment. Accordingly, the ECCO-ESGAR guideline recognizes IUS as a potential tool for the diagnosis and for the monitoring of IBD. Our study aim is to evaluate the change in intestinal ultrasound parameters (as measured by B-mode and SWE at baseline and week 4) to predict endoscopic response and remission as defined by the follow-up endoscopy and measured by the Mayo endoscopic subscore and the UCEIS during treatment with filgotinib
