Filter by:Aim: To estimate an oral administered recommended minimum efficacy daily dose (MED) of Jarlsberg cheese in order to obtain the needed increased level of Osteocalcin defined as the ratio [Carboxylated / Under Carboxylated] Osteocalcin. Study population: Healthy Voluntary (HV) women between 20 years and pre-menopausal age. Design: Open and randomised two-dimensional single-centre trial with 3-level between-patient Response Surface Pathway (RSP) design in the first dimension and 3-level within-patient RSP design in the secondary dimension.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Salix Probiotic Blend, administered orally for 30 days, in participants with functional gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing immune mediated inflammatory disease (IMID) of the gastrointestinal tract. Like all IMIDs (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis) a complex interaction between a genetically altered immune response, the gut microbiota and environmental factors is causing the disease. Systemic suppression of the immune response with corticosteroids, immunomodulatory, biologicals and combination therapies increases the risk of opportunistic infections in IBD patients. Data on mild and moderate infections in medically treated IBD patients is scarce, mainly since infections treated by the general practitioner or in an outpatient setting are not systematically registered in real life. To help gastroenterologists with clinical decision making, real world data with long term follow-up concerning the risk for infectious complications, is warranted. Several observations underline the importance of real world data on mild and moderate infections in medically treated IBD patients. Mild and moderate infections mostly have a benign course, but they take longer to clear and have a large impact on (work)disability and quality of life in IBD patients. Recurrent infections influences peoples willingness to use a drug and negatively effects adherence. Furthermore, recurring mild and moderate infections might prognosticate serious infections, and systematic assessment of all infections could be used to timely adjust treatment regimens and prevent serious infections. The investigators of this study previously developed a questionnaire on self-reported infections according to the FDA guideline for patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) by interviewing 36 patients with IBD and through input of expert meetings with gastroenterologists, IBD specialists, rheumatologists, immunologists and IBD-nurses. This questionnaire has already been implemented in myIBDcoach, a validated telemedicine system implemented in routine care for over 4000 patients with IBD in the Netherlands. Assesment of reliability and validity are the last steps in validation of this remote monitoring tool. In the current study the investigators aim to: 1. Assess the reliability, construct validity and criterion validity of a remote monitoring tool (questionnaire) for infections as last step in the validation 2. Assess the relative risk of all infections (mild, moderate and severe) in a real-life population for IBD patients on different maintenance treatments 3. Identify the predictors and risk factors of mild and moderate infections. 4. Assess the relation between patient reported infections and the risk for serious infectious complications
Lower partial duodenectomy could be indicated in case of injury, wide neck diverticulum, tumor invasion by other tumors such as retroperitoneal sarcoma and primary tumor of 3rd and 4th portion of the duodenum. Reconstruction after resection is usually performed by a end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis. The investigators analyze the short and long-term results of a case series with resection for various lesions in the third and fourth duodenal portions and reconstruction of the intestinal transit through side-to-side duodenojejunostomy
The investigators propose to investigate Microbiota Transfer Therapy (MTT) for treating patients with Pitt Hopkins Syndrome (PTHS) and gastrointestinal problems similar to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). MTT involves a combination of 10 days of oral vancomycin (an antibiotic to kill pathogenic bacteria), followed by a bowel cleanse, followed by 12 weeks of Fecal Microbiota (FM).
This is an Open, Single Arm, Exploratory and Phase II Clinical Trial of Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules Combined With CAPEOX in RAS and BRAF wild-type patients with Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma(CRC) as 1st Therapy. After 6 cycles of combined therapy, patients will receive capecitabine and anlotinib as maintenance therapy until tumor progression.In order to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules combined with CAPEOX in treatment of patients with mCRC. The patients who are pathologically confirmed as RAS and BRAF wild-type mCRC will be enrolled. Condition or disease Invention/treatment Phase Colorectal Cancer Drug: Anlotinib Hydrochloride Drug: Capecitabine Drug: Oxaliplatin Phase 2
In this study researchers want to learn more about the effectiveness of Iberogast® in patients with irritable stomach and concomitant chronic or recurrent heartburn and backward flow of stomach liquid into the esophagus. 60 patients in the age range from 18 - 80 year will be treated over 4 weeks with Iberogast® or placebo - an inactive substance which looks identical to Iberogast®. Patients completed diaries will provide researchers with detailed information on the change of stomach and intestinal symptoms during the treatment period. In addition information on the acidity of the esophagus and stomach liquid will be collected.
Several studies have been done on the efficacy of the herbal medicine Iberogast. In this study researcher want to learn more about the time needed for Iberogast to start to work after the patient took the drug. This study plans to enroll 300 adult male and female patients suffering from disturbance of stomach and intestine normal function and treated by their doctor with Iberogast drops. Patients will be asked to document on a diary card the changes of symptom severity of the stomach and intestine complaints and the time needed for the symptoms to improve after drug intake. At the end of the study the treating doctor and the patients will be asked about the overall changes of symptoms. In addition information on the safety of the drug and how well the drug is tolerated by the patients will be collected
This study focuses on the relationship between the brain and the gut, and additionally will foster collaboration between Movement Disorder experts and Neurogastroenterologists to provide critical information and lead to innovative therapies in the future to treat GI dysfunction of Parkinson's Disease.
This is a single center, retrospective, propensity score-matched analyzed study. Patients who underwent gastroscopy and colonoscopy for physical examination in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, China, from January 2017 to September 2018, were retrospectively reviewed to compare the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases diagnosed by endoscopy between physicians and general population.
