Filter by:The goal of this intervention study is to investigate the effectiveness of individualized plant-based diet plan on nutritional indices and clinical outcomes in colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The main questions to answer are: 1. What are the current eating trends in colorectal cancer patients? 2. What are the common perceptions of adopting a plant-based diet in colorectal cancer? 3. Does iPLANT diet plan improve nutritional indices of colorectal cancer patients? 4. Does iPLANT diet plan improve patients' gastrointestinal side effects and quality of life without compromising their nutritional status? Participants will be randomly assigned into two arms (intervention and control) using opaque envelop system. Intervention group will receive individualized plant-based diet plan and diet counselling, whereas the control group will receive usual diet counselling. The researcher will compare the differences in nutritional outcomes and quality of life between intervention and control groups before and after intervention.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of added probiotic cultures to a carbohydrate + protein recovery beverage compared to a similar recovery beverage without probiotic cultures, in its ability to impact endurance performance, perceived ratings of gastrointestinal symptoms and markers of inflammation and intestinal damage.
This study explores the use of an exclusive human milk diet versus standard feeding practices to compare the influence on feeding outcomes and the gut bacteria in infants with intestinal differences.
iSpecimen aims to create a clinical partner network of hospitals, laboratories, academic institutions, and other healthcare organizations ("institutions") capable of providing researchers and educators ("researchers") with annotated biospecimens for use in biomarker discovery and validation; diagnostic test and instrumentation development and validation; therapeutics development; other medical research including the impact that various specimen collection and handling methods and conditions have on research results; and in education such as researcher or physician training (collectively "research").
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be performed to assess the efficacy of a probiotic containing Lactobacillus reuteri in improving post-surgical wound healing after impacted tooth extractions. The Primary aim is to evaluate the efficacy of L. reuteri in improving post-extractive healing. The Secondary aim is to evaluate the efficacy of L. reuteri in association with an antibiotic therapy (amoxicillin) in reducing the incidence and severity of antibiotic-associated gastro-intestinal symptoms.
PrevisEA is a noninvasive, disposable device that uses audio spectral analysis of sounds produced by the gastrointestinal tract to predict gastrointestinal impairment (GII). GII is most commonly associated with postoperative ileus (POI), but could be the result of other causes, such as early postoperative bowel obstruction. GII is defined as failure of successful early oral re-feeding in a subject undergoing major abdominal surgery. For subjects who are allowed to resume a diet during the first 24 hours after surgery, a failure to successfully orally re-feed a subject is defined as presentation with emesis, requiring a reversal of diet, or the placement of a nasogastric tube on first postoperative day or later. The device is considered non-significant risk (NSR). The device does not inform medical decisions in this study. Researchers will be blinded to results of the device during this study.
This study aims to assess the impact of daily intake of 11 grams of Fermotein™ on gastrointestinal complaints and several other health related biomarkers. Furthermore, consumer acceptance is investigated. The study has a randomized parallel design. Two different treatments will be evaluated e.g. a 18-day intervention with fermotein based meals and a 18-day intervention with control meals. At the start and at the end of the intervention, a blood sample will be collected. Questionnaires about gut complaints, stool consistency and frequency, wellbeing, health complaints or other adverse effects will be collected daily during intervention and up to two days after the intervention.
This international, multicentre, pragmatic, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised trial of TxA versus placebo will enrol 3,300 patients throughout Australia and internationally. This is an effectiveness trial - some elements of the trial are deliberately left to the perioperative clinicians' discretion in order to reflect usual practice and maximise generalisability.

Drug of investigation: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), given orally as a tablet twice daily. Dosage of drug: This study recruits patients who have been prescribed a steady dose of MMF in the range between 1000 and 3000 mg daily by their physician. Design: This is an open-label PK study. Disease studied: Systemic sclerosis (SSC, scleroderma). Variables assessed: Estimated AUC0-12 for MMF. Gastrointestinal manifestations of SSc. Concomitant medication. Study population: Inclusion criteria: Diagnosis of SSC fulfilling the 2013 classification criteria for this disease. Participant should have been prescribed a stable dose of MMF tablets, taken twice daily, for at least 3 months prior to the study. Exclusion criteria: Failure to comply with study protocol. Limited access to repeated venous puncture. Recipient of organ transplant. Pulmonary arterial hypertension. Number of participants: The study aims at the inclusion of 35 subjects. Primary objective: To investigate the PK of orally ingested MMF in SSC. Secondary objectives: 1. To investigate how SSC manifested in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract may alter the PK of MMF. 2. To investigate how the PK of MMF in SSc is altered by medications often used in SSC, i.e. proton pump inhibitors (PPI), NSAID and calcium channel blockers.
