Filter by:In this prospective, non-randomized cohort study, real-time intraoperative visualization using near-infrared-fluorescence by indocyanine green injection (ICG-NIRF) is performed at three time points during ileal pouch reconstruction. The intraoperative imaging findings are then analysed and correlated with the 30 day postoperative clinical outcome including occurrence of anastomotic leak of the pouch.
Together with Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the major forms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).Currently, no curative therapy is available, since the pathophysiology of this disease is incompletely understood (1-3) and clinical practice demonstrates that current therapies induce remission in subgroups of patients only. Scientific evidence suggests that colitogenic immune responses can be controlled by increasing the number of circulating regulatory T cells (Treg) (4). The production of large numbers of autologous Treg is possible by isolation of CD25+ cells from the whole blood of a patient and subsequent ex vivo expansion in the presence of the immunomodulatory drug rapamycin, Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and CD3/CD28 expander beads (5). ER-TREG 01 is a single-center, open-label, fast-track phase I dose-escalation study designed to assess the safety profile and maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of a single infusion of ex vivo expanded autologous Treg in patients with active ulcerative colitis.
In this FinUC study we are trying to find out the efficacy and safety of the Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in newly diagnosed active ulcerative colitis patients. The study group with newly diagnosed active ulcerative colitis receive an FMT via colonoscopy from a tested general donor, frozen and thawed from a fecal bank at week 0 and at week 4 as an enema at the study nurse´s visit. The control group will be given colored water. The main aim of the FinUC study is to determine how the FMT change of the gut microbiota composition in newly diagnosed active ulcerative colitis patients. The other aim is to determine efficacy and mechanisms of fecal microbiota transplantation.
The reason for this study is to determine if the study drug LY3471851 is safe and effective in adult participants with active ulcerative colitis (UC). The study treatment will last about 52 weeks.
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a disease known for repeated relapses and remissions. So, meticulous follow-up is required to individualize treatment plans according to the status of each patient. The currently used investigations are invasive, costy, and carry the risk of several side effects, making it difficult for the patient to adhere to his continuous follow-up. Aim: To evaluate the viability of fecal lactoferrin, serum ferritin, and IL6 as noninvasive markers for detecting the activity and follow-up the patients of ulcerative colitis during remission.
Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis are chronic disease that are usually diagnosed at young age. The diseases and the associated treatment can impact on patient's sexual function, fertility, pregnancy, and delivery. This study aims to assess the impact of inflammatory bowel diseases on these aspects in female patients.
This is a retrospective observational study to investigate the short-term surgical outcomes, and long-term oncological outcomes of patients diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis and rectal cancer.
Background: Alberta's Center of Excellence for Nutrition in Digestive Diseases (Ascend) is dedicated to generating new discoveries regarding the link between nutrition and digestive diseases and mobilizing existing research to change the way physicians treat conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, cirrhosis and intestinal failure. Ascend is a collaboration of excellence within the Department of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology at both the University of Calgary and University of Alberta. Dr. Raman, PI, is the Director of Ascend. One of Ascend's primary initiatives is the development of a digital health platform for patients living with both Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC). Dr. Raman and her team have developed an app called LyfeMD, by translating leading scientific research into a practical and engaging digital format. LyfeMD is meant to help people live and thrive while managing their inflammatory disease with holistic, easy-to-implement, evidence based lifestyle therapies. LyfeMD is one app with multiple features - ranging from customized diet using anti-inflammatory principles identified from recent research led by Dr. Raman's team, and exercise plans to mindfulness and stress reduction programs. It helps patients make therapeutic diet choices to treat inflammation and provides stress reduction strategies when they feel unwell. The LyfeMD app also supports patients to maintain remission even when they're feeling well with trusted resources designed to keep them symptom free. In addition to delivering personalized and interactive support, the app uses behavior science to help patients change their habits, improve their health and reduce the burden IBD places on their lives. With proprietary research and a team made up of internationally recognized leaders in the gastrointestinal field, LyfeMD is poised to be the trusted digital health solution for people living with IBD.
Monocentric, prospective observational study to assess bowel inflammation in children with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT).
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) and IBD-unclassified (IBD-U), are characterised by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Over the past 50 years, the incidence of IBD has increased globally, with the highest increase in industrialised countries. During the last 25 years, the incidence of IBD has increased dramatically among teenagers in northern France, with an increase of 126% and 156% for CD and UC, respectively. Physical fitness is a set of attributes related to a person's ability to perform physical activities that require aerobic capacity, endurance, strength or flexibility and is determined by a combination of regular physical activity and genetically inherited ability. Physical fitness, widely recognised as an important health determinant, plays an important role in growth and development. Due to the evidence-based importance of physical fitness for young people's health status, attention should be paid to the assessment of physical fitness at these ages and whatever the health status. At this time, there is no study on the assessment of physical fitness in IBD pediatric patient.
