Filter by:This study learn how easily patients can use an educational tool that will be created for patients with melanoma and pre-existing autoimmune diseases who receive or will receive immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs. Patients will be asked their opinions about the design, accessibility, and content of the tool. Researchers will use the information collected to improve the educational materials that will help patients make future decisions about their treatment.
The investigators will be evaluating bone marrow composition via magnetic resonance imaging in newly diagnosed adolescents with Crohn disease (CD) compared to healthy, matched controls. The investigators will also be assessing their bone mineral density via other imaging modalities, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography. This longitudinal project will focus on abnormalities in bone marrow composition, and specifically whether adolescents with newly diagnosed CD exhibit increased bone marrow fat, its association with bone mineral density (BMD) and the underlying pathophysiology, including bone turnover markers and immune cellular/molecular parameters.
68Ga-FAPI has been developed as a tumor-targeting agent as fibroblast activation protein is overexpressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts and some inflammation,such as inflammatory bowel disease. And it might be more sensitive than FDG in detecting a certain type of inflammations according to our preliminary research. Thus this prospective study is going to investigate whether 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT may be superior for diagnosis, therapy response assessment and follow-up of inflammatory bowel disease than 18F-FDG PET/CT.
Most of the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) in a tertiary expert Centre are on immunosuppressive and/or biological therapy. Theoretically, these treatments may increase patients' risk of infection, in particular viral infection. Therefore, the current SARS-Cov-2 pandemia, with its unprecedent worldwide morbidity and mortality, may have a negative impact on IBD patients' clinical course. Identifying an increased risk in this particular patients' population as well as the risk/protective factors is of outstanding importance, in order to adapt their treatment and surveillance. As a consequence, our aims were (i) to measure retrospectively the risk of SARS-CoV-2 (proven by biological testing or suspected due to record of potential clinical symptoms of COVID-19 infection) in this patients' cohort (principal objective), (ii) to identify risk or protective factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection in IBD, and (iii) to analyze the outcome of patients in case of suspected or confirmed COVID-19. The results of this study may be important to adjust our surveillance and therapeutic strategy in these patients, in particular if high virus circulation will occur in the future.
To construct a standardized stepped nutritional treatment process for inpatients with inflammatory bowel disease, including nutritional risk screening and assessment, standardized nutritional treatment implementation, therapeutic effect follow-up and monitoring, family nutritional treatment follow-up, etc.
The investigators will be administering oral high dose interval vitamin D, concurrently when participants are receiving biologic therapy for their inflammatory bowel disease. The investigators will be collecting some additional bloodwork and questionnaires at the time of participants infusions.
The institution of perioperative Enhanced Recovery Protocols (ERPs) has been found to decrease hospital length of stay, in-hospital costs, and complications among adult surgical populations but data in pediatric populations are lacking. The Assessing Effectiveness and Implementation of a Perioperative Enhanced Recovery Protocol for Children Undergoing Gastrointestinal Surgery, which has the short title "ENhanced Recovery In CHildren Undergoing Surgery (ENRICH-US)," study is a multicenter, pragmatic, prospective study, using a stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial design. The study is designed to test the adoption, effectiveness, and generalizability of a newly developed, 21-element ERP for children undergoing elective gastrointestinal surgery.
The aim of the present project is to assess the effects of the chronic diseases and their associated treatments chronic paediatric diseases (CPD), to further understand their impact on physical fitness for public health perspectives. This is an innovative approach in the treatment of chronic paediatric diseases . This project should yield results that help improving treatments for children and adolescents with chronic paediatric diseases throughout physical activity as therapy, reduced pain, fatigue and inflammation, and improvement in physical fitness and life quality. The originality and novelty of this project is to combine architectural, functional and metabolic components of skeletal muscle to further understand the impact of chronic paediatric diseases as a function of treatment, disease activity and maturation status (prepubertal, pubertal or post pubertal). This study will aim at assessing muscular function (force production capacity and fatigability) in specific or ecologic situations so as to get information about muscle functioning on isolated muscle group (here knee extensors) or during whole body exercise. Moreover, results arising from muscle architecture or quality will allow understanding the decrease in strength or endurance reported in the literature. The data collected will allow us to further understand the impact of the disease on structural, functional and metabolic parameters. Finally, the understanding of these alterations will provide information enabling to establish recommendations in physical activity (PA) to reduce or even counter the effect of the chronic inflammation and prevent at long-term overweight and cardiovascular risks. The long-term objective is to contribute establishing recommendations or guidelines for prescribing physical activity during medical therapy. Values obtained in pathological children will be compared to those of control children matched for gender and maturation.
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of SonoVue® in participants with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis to various aspects including type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, disease activity, the need for surgical treatment.
