Filter by: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).
This study aims to investigate possible efficacy and safety of Roflumilast in adult patients with ulcerative colitis disease .
Immune-mediated diseases are extremely diverse - patients with the same diagnosis may see the disease progress in very different ways, and respond differently to treatments. This is because the course of the disease is influenced by multiple factors, including the patient's genes, immune system, environment, and the microbes living in their gut. Furthermore, all of these factors interact with and impact on one another. As a result, it is very hard to predict how the disease will develop in a specific patient, and which treatments will be effective. Hence, mechanistic understanding of this heterogeneity and biomarkers predictive for disease control and therapy response over time are important prerequisites of a future precision medicine in IMIDs. ImmUniverse has been formed as a European transdisciplinary consortium to tackle these unmet needs and to understand the role of the crosstalk between tissue microenvironment and immune cells in disease progression and response to therapy of ulcerative colitis (UC) and atopic dermatitis (AD). The consortium will combine analysis of tissue-derived signatures with "circulating signatures" detectable in liquid biopsies, employing state-of-the-art profiling technologies to provide new validated diagnostics in IMID that are expected to improve patient management, lead to increased patient well-being and will significantly reduce the socioeconomic burden of these diseases. This study, being Immuniverse work package 5 (WP5), will verify the disease pathway -and mechanism signatures identified in the multi omic discovery WP2 in immune cells in affected tissue and peripheral blood. WP5 aims to further substantiate our understanding of the immune-mediated intestinal disease ulcerative colitis (UC). It will use liquid biopsies (peripheral blood) and affected UC gut inflamed and non-inflamed biopsies to generate transcriptome, proteome, DNA-methylome and miRNA signatures of immune cell subsets and analyse the association between immune cells circulating in peripheral blood and the microenvironment of affected colonic tissue. Also this WP aims to develop a protocol to analyse and sort living immune cells from cryopreserved tissue. Ultimately, the project's findings should contribute to a better, more precise diagnosis for patients; and better information on how severe the disease is likely to be for each individual patient and how it will progress over time. Finally, the project will make it easier for doctors and patients to monitor how well a treatment is working in the future.
This study included two topics: one was to test the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplants plus partial enteral nutrition (PEN) in refractory pediatric UC where conventional therapy has failed, and the other was to explore the efficacy and safety of FMT plus PEN as first-line therapy for pediatric active UC
Rates of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are increasing rapidly in children and young people, and targets for management are becoming more demanding, with better control of disease to prevent complications, cancers and surgeries. This project "Non-Invasive Monitoring Through Bowel Ultrasound in Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease" or NIMBUS study will aim to explore the possibility of using ultrasound to examine inflammation in this group. Monitoring inflammation in this population currently is done with regular endoscopy (camera tests) and/ or MRI enterography scans which are invasive, can be uncomfortable, expensive and may have long waiting lists. These studies also require bowel prep, in the form of laxative medicines which can be distressing and cause time off from school. Direct visualisation through ultrasound could allow better monitoring of disease, and is quick, accurate, non-invasive and relatively low-cost. This could also allow for more appropriate medication use and a decrease in over/under use of medicines. This study will aim to recruit 50 children and young people with inflammatory bowel disease. Each child will have an ultrasound scan after enrolment and the investigators will use the information from these scans, as well as routine blood tests (already taken in normal care) and follow up medical information to explore the use of ultrasound in this group. The investigating team will aim to contribute to the global discussion around this topic and if results are positive will aim to improve monitoring for this population managed at the Noah's Ark Children's Hospital for Wales.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of efavaleukin alfa in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC).
We propose a randomized controlled study to assess the efficacy of: 1. Platelet-lysate loaded sustained release thermo-gelling formulation (Platelets-SR) 2. EPO/ISDN/UFH cryogel dressing (Trigel) As adjuncts to standard-of-care (SOC) in the treatment of chronic DFUs compared to SOC alone for patients attending the DFU outpatient clinic at the Gastroenterology Centre, Mansoura University.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of diosmin as adjuvant therapy in treatment of non-bleeding peptic ulcer patients.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 different maintenance dose regimens of TEV-48574 subcutaneous (sc) administered every 4 weeks (Q4W) in adult participants with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Secondary objectives of the study are to: - evaluate the efficacy of 2 different maintenance dose regimens of TEV-48574 sc administered Q4W in adult participants with IBD - evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 different maintenance dose regimens of TEV-48574 sc administered Q4W in adult participants with IBD - evaluate the immunogenicity of 2 different maintenance dose regimens of TEV-48574 sc administered Q4W in adult participants with IBD The total duration for a participant in the double-blind period only is 66 weeks; and for a participant in the open-label extension (OLE) period, up to an additional 268 weeks.
The goal of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of orally taken probiotic (R-3750) in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. Patients will take an oral dosage of probiotic (R-3750) and provide patient-reported and physician scored measures of their colitis. Blood and fecal evaluations of inflammation and assessment of probiotic (R-3750) on fecal levels will also be measured.
