Filter by:Background: In the gastrointestinal (GI) system, the most well-described manifestation of prolonged cannabis use is cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). CHS is characterized by severe cyclic nausea and vomiting and associated with abdominal pain.Currently, the generally accepted management for CHS is complete cannabis abstinence as traditional anti-emetics appear to be minimally effective. Preliminary reports from emergency departments suggest that intravenous haloperidol, a typical anti- psychotic, provides effective symptomatic relief in CHS. Objective: 1. To learn more about how cannabis use relates to the management of CHS. 2. To learn if haloperidol is effective in treating the symptoms of CHS. Eligibility: Alberta residents with ongoing cannabis use, who have completed the baseline study, are ≥ 18 years and ≤ 65 years, and have gastrointestinal symptomology as measured by GCSI > 2 or PAGI-SYM > 2 (upper or lower abdominal pain subscale). Design: Participants will answer a series of questionnaires online. Study specific questions relating to symptoms, cannabis use, and anxiety and depression will be administered. Confirmation of cannabis cessation will be assessed with urine creatinine and cannabis metabolite measures. Salivary cortisol will be used to asses the stress response.
This study evaluates the gallbladder functions and serum cholecystokinin levels in pregnant women diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. Half of the participants are healthy pregnant women and half of the participants are pregnant women diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. Two groups will be compared by means of gallbladder functions and serum cholecystokinin levels.
Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is a common disorder for hospitalization in the first trimester of pregnancy and related to protracted vomiting and nausea. It can be accompanied by ketonuria, dehydration and weight loss. Our aim was to investigate osteoporosis in patients with HG. In our study, we investigated osteoporosis in a total of 79 patients (40 HG and 39 control) by means of dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measurements and laboratory parameters related to HG.
Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) has become a well-documented syndrome since 2004 and is expected to increase in prevalence with continuing liberalization of marijuana and recognition of the disease. Regardless of whether the association with heavy cannabis use is recognized, there is well-documented resistance to traditional anti-emetic treatment. Given promising reports of the use of intravenous haloperidol, a randomized controlled trial comparing it to the commonly administered anti-emetic ondansetron will contribute to the management of CHS
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HEG) is not only nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, but it is also a clinical syndrome including endocrine and metabolic complications. Recently, some investigators have been begun performing researches related to the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women with HEG because they think about those metabolic and endocrine complications of HEG.In the literature there are few studies assessing how HEG has effects on GDM or 75 gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). So the investigators aim to evaluate the effects of HEG on 75 gram OGTT.
The purpose of this study to explore the association between Hyperemesis Gravidarum in pregnant women and Helicobacter pylori infection.
In this study, the investigators aimed to research the relationship between affective temperament with the severity of the symptoms of nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy. The investigators aimed to assess temperament differences between healthy pregnant women and pregnant women suffering from mild, moderate, and severe hyperemesis gravidarum.
The purpose of this study is to compare the tolerability of Pregvit® to a common prenatal vitamin (Orifer® F) among pregnant women with morning sickness or those suffering from a variety of conditions.
The investigators will compare the effectiveness of gabapentin to metoclopramide for 1 week among 60 women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) in this randomized, double-blinded trial. After completion of the 1-week double-blind phase, subjects will be offered open-label gabapentin with rescue metoclopramide until their symptoms no longer require treatment. Enrollment will occur at the University's at Buffalo, of Rochester and of Wisconsin.
Nausea in early pregnancy (emesis gravidarum) is very common but most often self-limiting. Hyperemesis gravidarum; where nausea and vomiting is severe and protracted is potentially dangerous for the woman and her foetus and necessitates hospital treatment. An English questionnaire (PUQE; Pregnancy Unique Questionnaire of Emesis) exists that can differentiate between uncomplicated emesis and the severe hyperemesis condition. This questionnaire has been translated to Norwegian. The investigators want to test the ability of this questionnaire to differentiate the grade of nausea/vomiting between a group of presumed normal pregnant woman and patients treated for hyperemesis gravidarum in a Norwegian population. The investigators also want to relate the PUQE questionnaire scoring to the women/patients' self-reported nutritional intake during 24 hours.
