Filter by:The objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Skal Pro in alleviating symptoms, enhancing stool consistency, improving quality of life, and addressing psychological distress in individuals diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as compared to those who receive no intervention.
It is estimated that about 20% of colonoscopies have inadequate preparation. (5) This is associated with lengthy procedures and less detection of adenomas, reduces the screening intervals, and increases the costs and risks of complications. Several strategies have been proposed to improve the quality of bowel preparation. Mobile healthcare Apps have been developed to increase adherence to bowel preparation agents, improving the quality of bowel preparation. However, adherence to mobile healthcare Apps is also a quality criterion and a pending problem to solve with this new technology. GastroBot is a new technology based on artificial intelligence that allows, through a software bot, to carry out a personalized follow-up of the patient's bowel cleansing, advising the patient to overcome contingencies that arise with the preparation, which in other circumstances could lead to the failure of it. The primary aim of this study is to determine the improvement in bowel preparation after GastroBot assistance compared with the traditional explanation. As a secondary aim, this study also pursues to determine adenoma and polyp detection rates (ADR and PDR, respectively), bowel preparation agents' tolerance, and GastroBot functionality.
Participation in medical trials usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This trial will admit a wide range of data on the clinical trial experience of Colon Cancer patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future Colon Cancer patients.
International evidence highlights the preanaesthetic assessment clinics (PAC) as a system of benefits for both the patient and the anaesthesiologist. The system has gained global acceptance as a routine method of optimising patients' medical conditions prior to surgery and therefore minimising surgery cancellations and improving hospital efficiency. However, a systematic review found no evidence of the efficiency of (PAC) and therefore we wanted to investigate this with the use of hospitals journals.
To validate the performance of the Poseidon System™ for fluid management during water-aided endoscopic procedures in the colon.
This is a qualitative interview study to understand patients' priorities for different aspects of tests when considering a colonic investigation. Patients currently waiting for colon capsule endoscopy (CCE), and colonoscopy will be invited to take part. Semi-structured interviews will be carried out over the telephone following an interview guide. Recorded interviews will be transcribed and undergo thematic analysis. We will seek to publish the results of this study to inform future research and developments for colonic investigations.
This study compares the effectiveness and stability of intestinal tablet (OST), an oral sulfate table (OST), developed in the form of pills, with 2L-PEG/Asc for examinees aged 70 or older who are scheduled for colonoscopy.
Adequate quality of bowel preparation(BP) is essential for colonoscopy. Several guidelines recommend that split-dose of 4L PEG should be used as a standard regime for BP. However, the high-volume PEG caused lower compliance to the regime and increased cost. Oral lactulose is a treatment for constipation. It tastes sweet and has no obvious gastrointestinal side effects. Previous study shows 200ml lactulose oral solution plus 2L water has been proven superior BP compared to 2L PEG. However, there is a lack of research describing bowel cleansing and colonoscopy outcomes using lactulose oral solution compared with the standard split dose of 4L PEG. Here we compared the use of a lactulose oral solution (300ml+1.5 L) with a PEG formulation (2 L) for colonoscopy preparation using the following metrics: quality of cleansing, colonoscopy outcomes, patient/physician satisfaction, and patient tolerability.
An adequate level of bowel preparation before colonoscopy has an extremely relevant impact on lesion detection and procedure success. The inpatient status represents a well-known independent predictor for inadequate colon cleansing. A recent prospective, multicentre, Italian study among inpatients showed that an adequate colon cleansing was achieved in 60-70% of patients, far below the ideal threshold of 90%. Interestingly, a higher rate of adequate colon cleansing was reported for a very low-volume (1L) polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based preparation when compared to 4L and 2L PEG-based solutions. However, this finding has to be confirmed as the study was not controlled and the PEG-1L group was much smaller than the other two. Aim of the present multicenter randomized controlled study will be to assess and compare the efficacy and safety of a novel very-low volume (1L) PEG-based preparation vs. standard-of-care low-volume (2L) and high-volume (4L) PEG-based purge, among inpatients who undergo colonoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a deep learning algorithm to realize automatic recognition of colonic segments under conventional colonoscopy. Then, evaluate the accuracy this new artificial intelligence(AI) assisted recognition system in clinic practice.
