Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the nutritional status of morbidly obese patients following gastric bypass surgery. Data from 76 patients aged 19-64, who will be monitored by a dietitian for at least six months, will be analyzed. Preoperative and postoperative biochemical parameters along with anthropometric measurements will assess.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare using ultrasound imaging to look at the position of the gastrostomy tube (GT) against fluoroscopic imaging in pediatric patients who had a recent GT tube replacement. The main questions it aims to answer are: - If ultrasound is just as accurate as fluoroscopy to assess the GT position. - If ultrasound takes less time than fluoroscopy to assessing the GT position. Participants will be imaging using ultrasound to assess GT positioning before their standard of care fluoroscopic imaging.
The primary aim of this trial is to rigorously evaluate the comparative benefits and potential risks associated with Billroth II reconstruction with Braun anastomosis versus Billroth II reconstruction alone following distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy in patients diagnosed with gastric cancer. This assessment focuses on delineating the therapeutic efficacy, safety profile, and overall clinical outcomes of these two surgical approaches in treating this condition.
This repository will consist of home monitoring data, videos, and images of patients with feeding difficulties for asynchronous remote patient monitoring of manually entered data sent by parents to the healthcare team using the CHAMP App for children with feeding difficulties. This information will be collected under a research protocol and this repository is for future research applications.
Glutamine has the potentials of immunomodulation and adjustment of protein metabolism. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of glutamine on sarcopenia in gastric adenocarcinoma patients undergoing gastrectomy. The secondary endpoints, including the physical activity, weight loss, and nutritional profiles, will be evaluated among these patients.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of High intensity focused ultrasound in treatment of abdominal skin laxity post sleeve gastrectomy.
The purpose of this research study is to test a new device called the PUMA-G Pediatric System. The research will measure if the device works well to safely aid doctors placing gastrostomy feeding tubes in children. The PUMA-G Pediatric System is an investigational device that uses ultrasound and magnets to guide insertion of a feeding tube.
The goal of this research study is to assess the FDA approved technique for inserting a feeding tube (gastrostomy) along with a breathing tube (tracheostomy) for patients that cannot breathe or eat on their own in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). All subjects in the study will receive a tracheostomy, but each patient will be randomly assigned a common method for gastrostomy placement. The placement of the tube and tracheostomy will occur as part of normal clinical practice. Researchers will compare subjects in the control group and the intervention group to evaluate the benefits of performing a tracheostomy and gastrostomy tube at the same time. Researchers will also evaluate the likelihood of the PUG procedure decreasing a patient's length of stay in the ICU.
The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of sarcopenia by CT and to analyze its association with morbidity and mortality after esophagectomy and / or total gastrectomy. It is also intended to analyze the association between the degree of the CT-guided sarcopenia and the nutritional status of the patients evaluated by clinical parameters, both preoperative and postoperative. Besides that, to verify the association between the degree of sarcopenia and body fat rate.
A 12 months mono-center, descriptive study, to evaluate pain and predictive factors Following placement of percutaneous Radiologic gastrostomy (PRG). The primary objective is to evaluate the abdominal pain associated with percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy (PRG) placement.
