Filter by:A phase 2, randomized, placebo controlled trial evaluating the effects of n intravenous iron supplementation on chronic fatigue in IBD patients with controlled disease.
Aims: Prospective evaluation of patients with a suspicion or diagnosis of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to evaluate osophageal motility before and during therapy Material and methods: The investigators prospectively perform manometry in patients with or with symptoms consistent with IBD. The investigators evaluate esophageal motility with high resolution manometry before, during and after IBD therapy. Clinical data are also collected to find possible correlations. The study do not modify the planned IBD therapy, but observe motility findings.
The purpose of this study is too determine the effects of exercise on the gut microbiota and immunological markers in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
In this research proposal, the investigators will focus on methods to optimize the therapeutic response to anti-TNF antibodies, by determining a correlation of 6-mp metabolite levels with IFX trough levels, anti-IFX antibody levels and clinical response. The study will also evaluate (in vitro) the possible impact of vitamin D on the interaction of IFX with dendritic cells in both healthy subjects and patients with Crohn's disease (proliferation, maturation, cytokine profile, apoptosis, gene expression).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term effect of sealant-assisted skin closure in prevention of surgical site infection after laparoscopic surgery.
There are many limitations in the current treatments of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Now the investigators realized that the intestinal microecological is closely associated with the development of IBD. So the standardized fecal microbiota transplantation is considered to be simple but effective emerging therapies for the treatment of IBD. In this project the investigators intend to carry out a single-center, randomized, single-blind clinical intervention study. The investigators will recruit 40 patients with IBD (20 cases of Ulcerative Colitis and 20 cases of Crohn's disease) in China. The patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups, one group will be given treatment of standardized fecal microbiota transplantation, the other will be simply treated with mesalazine, followed up for at least 1 year. The investigators propose to determine the efficiency, durability and safety of Standardized Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for IBD treatment.
Nutrient deficiencies occur frequently in IBD patients. The absorption rate of nutrients in IBD is often limited by chronic inflammation, but is also commonly reduced by missing intestinal segments due to previous operations. Patients are predominantly affected by malnutrition, which is often resembled by weight loss, specific micronutrient deficits such as iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, folic acid deficiency, vitamin D deficiency and zinc depletion. The etiology of nutritional problems is multifactorial and not exclusively limited to active phases of the disease. Causes of malnutrition can be inadequate food intake, maldigestion, malabsorption or increased nutritional requirement. Malnutrition itself is associated with a delayed recovery of impaired wound healing, reduced quality of life and longer hospital stays. Therefore, observation and modification of the nutritional status should be an integral part of therapy in IBD patients. The primary objective of our study is to investigate the influence of the disease on the resting energy expenditure and nutritional status during acute inflammation and clinical remission of the disease. Secondary objectives are to assess possible nutritional deficiencies. On the other hand it is well known that patients with IBD are at increased risk for coronary heart disease. Therefore, another secondary focus of our observational study is whether the composition of the HDL proteins is changed towards pro-atherogenic HDL-proteins and whether possible changes occur in patients in clinical remission or with active disease.
PSC is a chronic cholestatic disorder. The investigators intend to study some telomere parameters and telomere length in order to predict a premalignant state.
Anti-TNF (tumor necrosis factor) monoclonal antibodies have revolutionized management of Inflammatory bowel disease. Their common features include high efficacy but also immunogenicity and increased infection risk. Since 2013, two generics or biosimilars of the first anti-TNF have been registered in Europe, which long lerm safety profile needs yet to be established. This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study will assess safety of treatment of anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies in inflammatory bowel disease patients in Poland. Eligible are consecutive patients in whom anti-TNF is started for Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or indeterminate colitis between January 1st, 2014 and December 31st, 2015. Data to be collected include demography, Montreal classification, indication to treatment, previous treatment, operations, extraintestinal manifestations and concomitant diseases. Data on response, tolerability and safety of anti-TNF and on concomitant treatment will be collected. Adverse events logs will be completed. Majority of IBD centres in Poland, pediatric and adult, academic and regional, have agreed to participate in the study. As a result of the study, the frequency of adverse events in a cohort of Polish IBD patients on various anti-TNFs will be established.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect and safety of pectin and fecal microbiota transplantation on patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The investigators hypothesize that patients who take pectin can promote the migration of probiotics in intestine engraftment, reduce pathogenic agents'adhesion to intestinal mucosa, cut down the inflammation, and to maintain intestinal flora diversity and steady state in a long time.
