Filter by:It is planned to compare the efficacy and safety of rabeprazole 50 mg DDR (dual delayed release) capsules versus rabeprazole 20 mg enteric coated tablets administered once daily in patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
Aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of vented base bottles on respiration-swallow patterns and on gastroesophageal refluxes in preterm infants with clinical suspect of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In this crossover-randomized study, we compared the effects of standard feeding bottles (A) versus vented base feeding bottles (B) on a group of patients with at least 2 clinical GERD symptoms. 24 hours of synchronized cardiorespiratory (CR) and Esophageal Multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII/pH) monitoring were evaluated for each patient. During this period, patients were fed alternatively with feeding bottle A and B.
This is a pilot study measuring physiologic and behavioral correlates of symptom severity in adult patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
This study will evaluate the effect of CYP2C19 and ABCB1 genes on pharmacokinetics of lansoprazole in children with mild gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and uncontrolled asthma. It will determine if genotype-guided lansoprazole dosing of lansoprazole improves GER and asthma control.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common condition in the low birth weight infants. Although most of the BPD symptoms improved after a regular treatment in infancy, there are still a few late complications left such as the frequent respiratory symptoms, a slower weight gain and even sudden death. These late complications have made so much trouble to the healthcare of BPD infants. How to find the risk factors and to reduce the prevalence of these late symptoms becomes necessary. In this study, a cohort of BPD infants was observed with the late complications obtained by a monthly followed up for 18 months after discharge, the prevalence and risk factors of the late complications of BPD were analyzed by logistic regression. As one of the risk factors, GER was verified whether to play a critical role in these late complications.
This study will use a 22 gene pharmacogenomics panel on 30 children with persistent Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) who have not responded to therapy.
This study is being done to determine if people with and without GERD or trouble swallowing have increased esophageal mucosa impedance (food getting into the esophageal tissue).
The purpose of this study is to create a registry (collect data and keep it in a research database) to learn more about two methods of taking small tissue samples from your esophagus (the esophagus is the tube that carries food and liquid from your mouth to your stomach.). The two methods of sampling are: 1) Using forceps that take biopsies (small tissue samples) from your esophagus, and 2) Using a brush that also takes biopsies from your esophagus. By recording the results of all of your biopsies over many years, it may be possible to find out if the brush biopsy, forceps biopsy, or both can predict which patients with heartburn develop Barrett's esophagus, (an abnormality in the esophagus that may lead to cancer), and which patients with Barrett's esophagus develop precancer and cancer. The data from your biopsies will be used to determine the best way to diagnose esophageal disease. You are being asked to participate in the study because you are receiving an upper endoscopy (a procedure where a tube with a light and camera are inserted in your mouth and down your throat) with forceps and brush biopsies of your esophagus as part of your standard clinical care, and you are between the ages of 18 and 80.
This study evaluates the addition of polidocanol endovenous microfoam (PEM) to compression therapy to determine effectiveness in improving the healing of venous leg ulcers (VLUs) in adults with severe venous disease of the great saphenous vein (GSV). All participants will receive treatment with Varithena and compression therapy. The purpose of this study is to assess whether the use of PEM to correct superficial axial and varicose vein reflux is effective in improving healing of VLUs, over treatment with compression alone.
Background While several articles have reported about the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), to date, just one paper has discussed this issue with regard the Mini/One anastomosis gastric bypass (MGB/OAGB). This is expected to be the first randomized trial exploring and comparing these two interventions. Setting "Federico II" University Hospital, Naples - ITALY. Methods Fifty morbid obese patients are going to be studied. All patients presenting with a normal preoperative LES function will be randomly assigned to undergo LSG (arm 1 - 25 pts) or MGB (arm 2 - 25 pts). Patients undergo clinical assessment for reflux symptoms, and esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGDS) plus high-resolution impedance manometry (HRiM) and 24-hour pH-impedance monitoring (MII-pH) before, two months and 1 year after both LSG or MGB/OAGB. Objective Endpoint 1: Does this surgery affect the LES area function in both arm 1 or arm 2 patients determining a possible increase in gastroesophageal acid or non acid reflux? Endpoint 2: Does one between the two procedures outperform the other one in terms of eventual LES area modifications? Endpoint 3: In the case of a good performance of LSG or MGB/OAGB or both the procedures, is this to be primarily related to surgery per se or to weight loss?
