Filter by:This study is looking at the effect of semaglutide on subjects with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.This study is comparing the change in early stages of scar tissue in the liver and fat deposition in the liver in people taking semaglutide and placebo (a dummy medicine). Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo; which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Semaglutide is a medicine under clinical investigation. That means that the medicine has not yet been approved by the authorities. Participants will need to self-inject medicine once daily for 72 weeks. The medicine should be injected under the skin in the stomach, thigh or upper arm. There are about 3 weeks before participants start the study medicine and 7 weeks after you stop it. The study will last for about 82 weeks in total. Participants will have 12 clinic visits, 6 phone calls and 4 visits to an MRI centre. The study includes MRI scans of the stomach. The MRI scans will take place at a different location. Participants will be excluded from the study if the study doctor thinks that there are risks for participants health. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.
The Transition Navigator Trial (TNT) is a pragmatic randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of usual care plus a patient navigator service versus usual care plus newsletters and other educational materials, to improve transition outcomes among adolescents aged 16-21 who have chronic health conditions requiring transfer to adult specialty care. The study will provide urgently needed data to guide health care providers and policy makers regarding the provision of coordinated transition care. These results have the potential to: 1. Change care delivery 2. Improve health outcomes 3. Improve the experiences of young adult transition to adult care
The PHAGE study is designed to determine if a commercial prebiotic product can change the composition of bacteria in the gut for improved intestinal health. A prebiotic is defined as an indigestible dietary component that selectively enhances specific bacterial species in the intestines to confer a health benefit. In this study, the prebiotic a unique combination of bacteriophages, or viruses that infect bacteria. These phages are generally regarded as safe for human consumption and work by infecting bad bacteria in the gut, which allows beneficial bacteria populations to increase. The product, PreforPro, has shown to be effective in culture-based and animal studies, but its efficacy has not been demonstrated in humans. The goal of this study is to see if PreforPro consumption improves gut bacteria profiles in individuals relative to a placebo control and is associated with reduced incidence and severity of gastrointestinal distress.
The Automatic Tongue Diagnosis System (ATDS) was developed to capture tongue images and extract features reliably to assist the diagnosis of TCM practitioners.This project will employ the ATDS verified to extract the tongue features of patients with upper gastrointestinal disorders, such as peptic ulcer, etc. A TCM indices derived through the non-intrusive tongue diagnosis procedure can provide valuable information for clinical doctors to analyze the current status of a patient and dynamically schedule a treatment plan, facilitating early detection and diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal disorders.
This open trial aims to evaluate feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of an internet-delivered CBT-program for children and adolescents with functional gastrointestinal disorders when implemented in regular care.
The primary aim of the project is to investigate whether a behavioural training programme improves troublesome bowel symptoms, that people with inflammatory bowel disease continue to have, despite their disease being controlled by medication. The other aim is to determine if there are factors which influence how well the training programme works. People attending an Inflammatory Bowel Disease clinic in a tertiary hospital, with bothersome bowel symptoms despite disease control, will be asked to join the study. This involves 2 to 6 sessions with a pelvic floor trained physiotherapist over a period of 6 months with further follow up at 12 months..
the investigators propose to carry out a prospective study consisting of a systematic research of digestive symptoms in patients with SGSp with the validated Global symptom score (GSS) questionnaire, which allowed to grades severity of 10 digestive symptoms (absent, mild, moderate, or severe), asthenia and fever.
The main objective is to assess the effect of an 8-week daily supplementation with IbSium® (probiotic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856) on the improvement gastro-intestinal disorders associated to the type C IBS (constipation predominant).
This is a descriptive retrospective database analysis study in using database. All patients with a physician PPI prescription will be selected to estimate the PPI inappropriate use.
This cross-sectional survey study is to determine the prevalence of functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders in the general population and to describe common triggers for food-related GI symptoms.
