Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see how a diet that mimics fasting effects inflammation in patients with mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The diet may allow users to receive the benefits of fasting while also being able to enjoy food (the ingredients of which are GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Research on dietary interventions and UC are very limited. Fasting mimicking diets (FMD) have been studied with support of the National Institute of Health and published in leading journals. This research investigates whether markers of inflammation decrease and/or quality of life increases after three cycles of a five-day period of the fasting mimicking diet, and may provide rationale for its use to treat UC.
The availability of noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosis and stratification of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) courses is lacking. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluated the accuracy of exhaled breath volatile metabolite analysis on diagnosis and stratification of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
The chronic fatigue is observed in approximately 40 % of the patients with a chronic quiet inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and impacts the quality of life of the patients. The beneficial role of a regular physical activity on the quality of life of patients having an IBD was demonstrated in 5 studies including only 1 controlled one [Bilski, on 2013]. The mechanism by which the physical activity could improve the quality of life of the patients remains unknown (stress decreased, reduction of the inflammatory process) [Bilski, on 2014]. Several studies concerning other chronic pathologies such as fibromyalgia, have demonstrated the beneficial effect of a regular physical exercise to reduce the fatigue of patients. It was recently demonstrated that the chronic fatigue observed in patients with IBD came along with a physical reduction in the performances during the exercise test and a reduction in the physical activity of the patients [Vogelaar, 2015]. Our hypothesis is that a regular moderate physical activity could improve physical performance during an effort et could reduce the chronic fatigue and improve their quality of life.
- To compare surgical and oncological outcomes in patients underwent to colorectal resection with 3D vs 2D laparoscopic technique. - To evaluate the visual overload in surgeons using 3D laparoscopic technique.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by chronic inflammation limited to the mucosal layer of the colon. Anemia is a consistent clinical feature of IBD. It is encountered in one third of IBD patients, and is the most common extraintestinal complication of this disease. Anemia has a significant impact on the quality of life of affected patients. Many patients with IBD frequently complain of chronic fatigue commonly caused by anemia and this may be as debilitating to patients as abdominal pain and diarrhea. Anemia in IBD is multifactorial, but is most commonly the result of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and rarely due to anemia of chronic disease (ACD). Oral iron supplementation has been used traditionally for the treatment of IDA but studies have shown that it may result in disease exacerbation by increasing oxygen free radicals within the lumen of the gut via the Fenton reaction. A recent study done in University Hospitals Birmingham, United Kingdom, has shown that treatment with oral iron results in failure to control anemia in 2 out of 3 IBD patients, which is in part due to the side effects reported by over half of patients. Captafer is a new iron-free oral preparation that contains a special type of oligosaccharides from fish muscle tissue able to make the intestine absorb 3 to 5 times more iron in comparison to the "meat factor". Moreover, Captafer contains other vitamins and supplements that improve anemia.
This is a monocentric prospective study for the collection of biological samples (blood and biopsies) to be used for in vitro biomarker assay(s) performed to identify predictive markers of response to biological treatments in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) in pediatric patients with recurrent C. Difficile with or without Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) The aims of this study are to determine the safety and efficacy of FMT treatment in pediatric patients with recurrent or moderate to severe C. Difficile without (through an observational study) and with (through a clinical trial) Inflammatory Bowel Disease and to determine the effect of FMT on the gut microbiota through the use of 454 pyrosequencing before and after transplantation in these patients.
This study has been set up in order to characterize phenotypes and genotypes of patients with early onset enteropathies. In that goal, Investigators will collect biological samples (mainly blood) of patients suffering from early onset enteropathies and their healthy relatives.
This phase I study designed in 3 parts is a randomized, placebo-controlled, sequential ascending-dose study of healthy volunteers. The safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ascending single and multiple dose of Hemay007 will be assessed in Part 1 and Part 3, respectively. Food effect following a single oral dose will be evaluated in Part 2.
In colorectal surgery, anastomotic leak and its septic consequences still remain as the most concerning complications resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality. A common determining factor for assessing the viability of a bowel anastomosis is adequate arterial perfusion to ensure sufficient local tissue oxygenation. Intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence (INIF) imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) dye is a novel technique which allows the surgeon to choose the point of transection at an optimally perfused area before creating a bowel anastomosis. Recently, the INIF imaging system has been installed on the robotic systems and this helps identify intravascular NIF signals in real time. Although reports from several case series and retrospective cohorts have described the feasibility and safety of this imaging system during robotic colorectal surgery, to date, no studies have addressed more systematically the outcomes of this technique in robotic surgery. Considering the limitations of these reports, investigators aim to conduct a prospective randomized trial to compare robotic procedures with or without INIF imaging in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
