Filter by:Patients with Terminal Chronic Kidney Disease undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) often have pathophysiological factors that promote chronic constipation. It affects the quality of life of Patients undergoing PD in a much greater way than for hemodialysis patients because it causes complications, mechanical and infectious associated with the transmural migration of enteral bacteria, with an impact on patient morbidity and survival of the technique. In addition, it should be noted that PD patients often take potentially constipants treatments such as phosphorus chelators, calcium inhibitors, opiates, iron preparation and antidepressants. Taking these drugs decreases gastric acidity, which is associated with an increased prevalence of peritonitis. In this context, a significant lack of literature, specifically studying the risk factors for constipation in Terminal Chronic Kidney Disease patients treated with DP and the correlation with mechanical and infectious complications, is improvable.
This study is a randomised, parallel group, controlled trial, comparing the effects of fruit products as to their physiological, microbiologic and metabolomic effects on the gut, as well as their effects on the dietary intake and quality in healthy people with constipation.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Bacillus subtilis DE111® probiotic for regulation of bowel movements.
The overall purpose is to assess whether assisted infant toilet training during the first year of life can prevent functional gastrointestinal and urinary tract disorders up to 4 year of age. Healthy Swedish children will be randomized to start assisted infant toilet training at 0-2 months of age or at 10-11 months of age. The toilet training process will be described including mother-to-infant attachment and parental stress.
Patients with schizophrenia spectrum have been suffering from constipation due to long-term use of psychotropic medications and changes in physical activity and eating habits caused by diseases. Aim this study was to examine the effectiveness of Baduanjin program in improving the symptoms of intestinal peristalsis and constipation in patients with psychosis. Method:A randomized controlled trial was conducted in tow psychiatric centers in northern Taiwan.The experimental group was provided with an 8- session Baduanjin program for 24 weeks (1 hour, thrice times per week), while the control group received routine care.
Develop a risk assessment scale for constipation of hospitalized patients to identify at an early stage high-risk individuals and to implement the appropriate means of prevention.
The purpose of this study is study bowel symptoms, quality of life, and personal factors that may affect your health. In Aim 1 of this study participants will be invited to complete 6 survey-based questionnaires online. In Aim 2 of this study will monitor the effectiveness of a 12 week therapy program on bowel symptoms and overall quality of life.
Study of efficacy of probiotic in older patients with multiple co-morbidites and constipation
This study focuses on the relationship between the brain and the gut, and additionally will foster collaboration between Movement Disorder experts and Neurogastroenterologists to provide critical information and lead to innovative therapies in the future to treat GI dysfunction of Parkinson's Disease.
Once the patients who are candidates to enter the study are identified, the patients will be randomly be assigned to two groups, according to the sequence: - Group A: study product+wash out+control product - Group B: control product+wash out+study product
