Filter by:In this trial, the investigators aim to assess impact of goat milk-based infant formula on the severity and frequency of gastrointestinal symptoms, as well as other associated symptoms, and the health-related quality of life in infants exhibiting symptoms possibly related to cow's milk, compared to a cow milk-based formula.
Aim of study: Primary Outcomes: Patients with ulcerative colitis-associated upper gas- trointestinal inflammation may require specific treat- ment for the gastroduodenal lesions. Hence, recogni- tion and detection of the upper gastrointestinal lesions are important. Here we describe 2 cases of ulcerative colitis and summarize the results of our investigation of the prevalence of upper gastrointestinal involvement detected by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. We also analyzed the macroscopic and microscopic features of the upper gastrointestinal lesions Secondary Outcomes: correct and timely treatment of upprt GIT lesions in UC .
There is a high prevalence of FGID among infants : 30 % for regurgitations, 20 % for colitis , 15 % for functional constipation.This represents a frequent motive for pediatrics consultation : 23 to 28 % of medical consultations in this population are consequent to gastrointestinal symptoms among infants aged under 4 months old. This can lead to numerous inappropriate or unrecommended medication prescriptions. Currently, fecal calprotectin threshold are only validated by science societies for children aged 5 years old and more. This study aims to quantify the difference of fecal calprotectin between a population of infants for whom no FGID has been finally detected, and a population of infants for whom FGID have been detected during the gastro-pediatrics consultation, , in order to later determine wether it is possible to validate a threshold in a population of infants aged under 4 months old.
The Gastroparesis Registry 4 (GpR4) is an observational study of patients with symptoms of gastroparesis (Gp) and functional dyspepsia (FD) with either delayed or normal gastric emptying. To better understand these disorders, this registry will capture demographic, clinical, physiological, questionnaire, and patient outcome data to characterize the patients and their clinical course. Participants will complete several questionnaires, complete a nutrient drink test and have a gastric emptying study.
Parents of children with gastrostomy have problems with the selection and preparation of nutritional products and catheter care during home care. Parents express that they want to receive practical training in the process of home care of the child with gastrostomy, they want to communicate more with the team and they need continuous monitoring to solve the problems encountered effectively. In this context, it is aimed to establish an appropriate training programme for the care of children with gastrostomy, to provide counselling and follow-up. Digital health technologies are divided into different sub-branches. Mobile health applications constitute one of these structures. Mobile health applications are used in elective surgical interventions in pediatric surgery (tonsillectomy, hernia repair, circumcision, etc.) and in the home care process after organ transplantation. In pediatric surgery, many mobile health applications have been developed to support pain management, symptom monitoring, medication adherence, support care processes, postoperative follow-up and self-management processes. In mobile health applications, no mobile application has been found for the use of parents of children with gastrostomy. In Turkey, there is no known nursing study for the use of parents of children with gastrostomy. The aim of this study is to develop a mobile application for the care of children with gastrostomy and to determine the effect of the application on gastrostomy complications, care burden of parents, self-efficacy and anxiety level.
The goal of this interventional study is to investigate effects of a2 Full Cream Milk on Breastmilk composition and subsequent Infant gut health, crying frequency and sleep patterns in Healthy Full-term Infants. 50 mothers and thier infants will be enrolled into 2 study sites, mother and her child as one subject will be randomized to 2 groups for assigned interventions, a2 Full Cream Milk and conventional Milk (Weidendorf). The study will continue for 14 days, and 3 site visits will be made duing the study period. All data specified in the protocol will be captured and recorded into CTMS for analysis. Researchers will compare the two groups of participants to see if a2 Full Cream Milk has significantly better breastmilk composition and improve infant's gut health, crying frequency and sleep patterns.
TARGET-GASTRO is an observational research study to conduct a comprehensive review of outcomes for patients with the chronic gastrointestinal (GI) diseases: eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease (EGID), ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD).
Flexible endoscopes are used globally for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the GI tract. Duodenoscopes used for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), in order to treat different biliary and pancreatic disorders, have been recently linked to infections transmission following the procedures. Given their reusability and their complex design of the tip with a moving metallic component, named the "elevator", these instruments must be reprocessed through high level disinfection (HLD) in order to prevent the spread of nosocomial infections. Even strict adherence to all HLD procedures results in a residual level of potentially infectious microbes. In fact, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) postmarket surveillance communication reported duodenoscope culture results demonstrating contamination rates of up to 3.6% for low and moderate-concern organisms and up to 5.4% for high-concern organisms in reprocessed conventional duodenoscopes. As a consequence, at least 20 outbreaks of duodenoscope-transmitted multidrug resistant organism (MDRO) infections occurred between 2012 and 2015, despite reported compliance with duodenoscope reprocessing guidelines. The increasing concern that currents practices of reprocessing reusable duodenoscopes is insufficient, has led the FDA to released recommendation suggesting to develope a newly designed duodenoscopes. On one hand, a way is to generate duodenoscope with disposable components, such as a one-use end cap, which can be removed and allow access to the components of the elevator and other areas of the duodenoscope for reprocessing. On the other hand, an alternative is to produce a fully disposable single-use duodenoscope. The evident advantage of a single use duodenoscope, over disposable components, is that it completely eliminates the need for reprocessing and more important the risk of transmitting microbial infection from patient to patient.
This study is a randomized, positive drug parallel-controlled clinical trial in participants with diabetic gastroenteropathy. A total of 60 participants will be recruited for the study, all of whom are diagnosed as diabetes mellitus combined with gastroenteropathy. The subjects will be divided randomly into two groups and treated with either Tangweian Recipe+mosapride citrate tablets or mosapride citrate tablets for four weeks. The primary outcome will be the change in gastroparesis symptom severity, as measured by the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptoms Daily diary Index-Daily Diary (ANMS GCSI-DD). And participants will be seen for a clinic evaluation at weeks 0 and 4, during which symptom scores, adverse events and treatment compliance will be assessed.
The study participant is being asked to take part in this clinical trial, a type of research study, because the participant has Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms following a Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT). Primary Objective - To determine the safety and feasibility of FMT for treating a GvHD of the gut following HCT. - To determine the safety and feasibility of FMT for treating HCT induced gut dysfunction. Secondary Objectives - To assess the potential efficacy of FMT for treating a GvHD of the gut following HCT. - To assess the potential efficacy of FMT for treating HCT induced gut dysfunction.
