Filter by:This is an open-label, randomized, single dose, two-sequence, two-periods crossover study, separated by 7 days washout interval from the first Study Drug Administration. This study is conducted to determine the bioequivalence of Rabeprazole from IDIAZOLE 20mg Delayed-Release (DR) tablets (tabs) and PARIET 20 mg DR tabs after a single oral dose administration of each to healthy adults fed under conditions. In Period 1, subjects will be randomized to either Idiazole 20mg DR tabs or PARIET 20 mg DR tabs. Following a washout of at least 7 days, subjects will be crossed over in Period 2 to receive the treatment that they did not receive in Period 1. PARIET is a registered trademark of EISAI Co. Limited.
This study aims to identify whether an exclusive human milk diet (EHMD) would improve outcomes in neonates with congenital gastrointestinal disorders (CGD) and by facilitating an earlier transition off of parenteral nutrition (PN).
Abdominal pain (AP)-associated functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), particularly Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Functional Dyspepsia (FD), are common in pediatrics, and no safe and effective treatment is available. Although probiotics have shown promising results in adults, few studies have been published in children. The Bifidobacterium Infantis, Bifidobacterium Breve and Bifidobacterium Longum are the most important beneficial bacteria in children and represent 95% of the total bacterial population in the intestine of breastfed infant. Objectives: 1) To evaluate the effect of oral administration of a mixture of Bifidobacteria on the improvement of frequency and intensity of AP in children with FD and IBS. 2) To evaluate the effect of oral administration of a mixture of Bifidobacteria on quality of life in children with FD and IBS.
Recurrent Abdominal Pain (RAP) in children is common and causes significant functional impairment and poor quality of life. Lifestyle factors such as diet, anxiety, and stress are important triggers of abdominal pains, but there is lack of high quality research evidence on optimal treatment modalities in children. This study aims to evaluate the effect of food elimination on abdominal pain frequency and severity in a cohort of children with abdominal pain associated Functional Gastrointestinal Diseases (FGID). The primary outcome will be a comparison of abdominal pain frequency and severity between standard therapy and targeted food elimination, based on IgG antibody results to a multiple food antigen panel. The investigators anticipate that 'targeted dietary elimination' as a treatment strategy will resolve abdominal pain and improve quality of life in children.
Brain imaging has shown abnormal brain activations in response to visceral stimulation in patients with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Functional Dyspepsia (FD). To investigate the possible role of the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS), the primary relay station in the brainstem for vagal afferents, its activation in IBS and functional dyspepsia patients will be evaluated. Prior to this, an exploratory study in healthy volunteers will be conducted. This will be the first high magnetic field fMRI study (7T) evaluating the possible role of NTS activation in visceral abdominal pain. Moreover, this will be the first pharmacological fMRI study using duodenal capsaicin infusion as a chemical stimulus, which is more physiological than mechano-stimulation in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
This project aims to study the benefits of probiotics namely Lactobacillus casei Zhang (LCZ) in prevention of upper respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses, which are found common among adults in Malaysia aged from 18 to 81 years.
This study focuses on the use of contrast enhanced low-dose CT imaging as a modality to differentiate between uncomplicated and complicated acute appendicitis. Differentiation between the two forms of acute appendicitis is important because according to recent studies their treatment differs. Complicated forms are still treated operatively, while uncomplicated forms can be treated conservatively with antibiotics. In the initial phase of the study, several optimized CT protocols will be created with a phantom model. The two best performing models will be selected for the second phase of the study, in which patients presenting with suspected acute appendicitis will be imaged with the two protocols. All patients participating in the study will be treated operatively, primarily with a laparoscopic appendectomy. Thus histological confirmation for the diagnosis can be achieved and compared with the CT images. The goal of this study is to optimize a well-performing low-dose CT imaging protocol to use in the diagnosis of uncomplicated acute appendicitis.
The primary objective of this study is to gather stool samples from subjects with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to be added to a test set of stool samples that will be utilized to help select molecular markers and determine the optimal sensitivity and specificity values for the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test for colorectal cancer (CRC).
It is recommended as the first line treatment regimen to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (HP), 7 or 14 days treatment of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) based triple therapy consisting of one PPI and two antibiotics, clarithromycin and amoxicillin. In the case of treatment failure, 7 or 14 days of quadruple therapy (PPI＋metronidazole＋tetracycline＋bismuth) is recommended. This study aims to investigate which duration would be better for eradication of HP. The study design is a randomized controlled trial. The patients were randomly assigned to 7 days or 14 days treatment groups. Primary endpoint was the eradication rate of PPI based triple therapy. Secondary endpoints were to compare the rate of drug compliance and side effects in both groups.
The purpose of this study is to establish the working protocols for a general biorepository with the specific aim of procuring tissues and bodily fluids from the human gastrointestinal tract from a diverse range of clinical patients at the UC Davis Medical Center. The establishment of a GI-specific biorepository will support future translational endeavors within the UC Davis campus by providing laboratories with readily available GI tissue and bodily fluid samples to test newly developed hypotheses with relative ease.
