Filter by:This study aims to validate the Alimetry® Gut-Brain Wellbeing Survey- Youth Version (AGBW-Y), a mental health scale developed for patients aged 12-17 years with chronic stomach symptoms.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about effectiveness and safety of washing microbiota transplantation in diabetic gastrointestinal motility disorders participant population. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The risk factors of diabetic gastrointestinal motility disorders in routine clinical data or biochemical tests. - The composition of gut microbiota in diabetic gastrointestinal motility disorders patients and potential pathogenic bacteria. - The efficacy of washing microbiota transplantation in the clinical treatment of diabetic gastrointestinal motility disorders patients and potential factors that may influence treatment outcomes. - The potential mechanisms of washing microbiota transplantation in treating diabetic gastrointestinal motility disorders patients. Participants will be collected fasting venous blood and random stool samples before treatment and at week 12 post-treatment, conducting scale assessments before treatment and at weeks 1, 4, and 12 post-treatment.
Upper gastrointestinal tract disorders, such as gastroparesis, are common in critically ill patients in the ICU, estimated at 60%. Gastroparesis symptoms include nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Risk factors for the development of gastroparesis include diabetes, surgical injury to the vagus nerve (such as certain types of bariatric surgery, and in the past - surgeries for patients who suffered from peptic ulcer), use of drugs that inhibit the activity of the digestive system such as opiates, anticholinergic drugs, sepsis, as well as being bedridden and inactive - are all common conditions in critically ill patients. There are different definitions for gastroparesis. One of the accepted definitions refers to gastric residual volume (GRV) over 200 ml at one measurement. Gastroparesis is found in some studies to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. As mentioned above, it is known that sepsis is a risk factor for gastroparesis. According to our experience based on treatment of a large number of septic patients, we have the impression that often gastroparesis is an early sign for the development of sepsis. We did not find any studies that tested this hypothesis. In this study we would like to investigate whether the development of gastroparesis in critical patients in intensive care can be a predictive sign for the development of sepsis.
Gastroparesis is a chronic disease of the stomach that causes delayed gastric emptying without stenosis. The clinical symptoms of gastroparesis include nausea, vomiting, early satiety, post-prandial fullness, bloating, belching, and upper abdominal discomfort Gastroparesis cardinal symptoms index (GCSI) is a reliable, reproducible, and valid instrument for measuring symptom severity in patients with gastroparesis. This will be a randomized controlled trial of all the patients who are referred to the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences (UAMS) for gastric peroral endoscopic pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) for treatment of refractory and severe gastroparesis. During G-POEM procedure, either single or double pyloromyotomy will be performed with randomization. The aim is to compare clinical outcomes and the efficacy of single versus double pyloromyotomy in G-POEM for refractory and severe gastroparesis.
The objective of the Pediatric Gastroparesis Registry 2 is to create a national prospective registry of children, adolescents, and young adults with gastroparesis and gastroparesis-like syndrome (symptoms of gastroparesis but normal gastric emptying).
The objective of the proposed study is to assess gastric emptying time (GET) based on contrast-enhanced multispectral optoacoustic imaging (CE-MSOT) in a collective of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The results will be correlated with disease duration and severity.
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.
In the proposed study, we will be evaluating the effects of pylorus sparing antral myotomy alone, without concomitant endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), on weight loss for subjects undergoing the procedure with a history of obesity. This is referred to as Bariatric Endoscopic Antral Myotomy (BEAM). To better understand treatment effects, we will track weight loss, gastric emptying with gastric emptying breath tests (GEBT), and gut hormones (i.e. ghrelin). This pilot, single-center, randomized, controlled, clinical study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and short-term efficacy of BEAM, in addition to exploring its impact on gastric physiology. This will also provide data that may be used in designing a larger clinical trial that could be submitted for NIH grant funding.
This prospective observational randomized study aims to determine energy, protein intake and gastrointestinal tolerance while using enteral nutrition formulas with very high protein content and enteral nutrition formulas with normal protein content. - Differences regarding achieving protein and calorie daily targets when using enteral nutrition formulas with different protein content - Differences regarding residual gastric volume when using enteral nutrition formulas with different protein content - Differences regarding body composition when using enteral nutrition formulas with different protein content
Gastroparesis is defined by objective delaying of gastric emptying without any evidence of mechanical obstruction. Diabetic gastroparesis is a potential complication that occurs in the setting of poorly controlled diabetes, resulting from dysfunction in the coordination and function of the autonomic nervous system, neurons, and specialized pacemaker cells (interstitial cells of Cajal, ICC) of the stomach and intestine, and the smooth muscle cells of the gastrointestinal tract
