The purpose of the study is to assess the effects of exoskeleton training on neurogenic bowel disorders in spinal cord injury/ disease.
The investigators propose the use of a 20 week physician-derived exercise programme will lead to an improvement in physical fitness which will in turn lead to an increase in muscle mass, a reduction in visceral obesity resulting in an improvement in biologic response, disease biomarkers (including a reduction in circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines), fatigue scores and quality of life.
Human-computer interactions or 'Chatbots' have been utilized in a variety of healthcare settings, including the promotion of positive healthcare behaviors, the deliverance of psychological therapy, and the performance of diagnostic tasks. Standard methods of consenting patients for procedures may not always result in patients being fully informed; a 2004 study of patients undergoing screening sigmoidoscopy demonstrated that 39% of surveyed patients could describe no other indication than doctor recommendation for the procedure after undergoing standard consent. his study seeks to investigate the usability of a novel chatbot designed to provide peri-procedural information in two endoscopic procedures - diagnostic oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) and diagnostic colonoscopy. A novel Chatbot - 'SurgInfoBot' has been developed in order to provide real-time, patient-driven peri-procedural information. This study primarily seeks to assess the effect of SurgInfoBot use on patient satisfaction with the consent process in endoscopy. It will also assess the usability of the chatbot according to the system usability scale and test performance according to the as-yet unvalidated Chatbot Usability Questionnaire (CUX). User engagement will be analyzed objectively using stored metrics. Comparison will be made between perceptions of the SurgInfoBot as an information source and other established patient information sources. The potential impact of the SurgInfoBot on peri-procedural anxiety will also be explored.
Protocol Summary - Title: A Phase I study of ExoFlo, an ex vivo culture-expanded adult allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell derived extracellular vesicle isolate product, for the treatment of medically refractory Crohn's disease. - Short Title: ExoFlo for Crohn's Disease - Phase: 1 - Methodology: Open label - Study Duration: 24 months - Subject Participation: 58 weeks - Single or Multi-Site: Multi-Site
This project is a pilot study exploring the effects of dietary choices and quantitative digestion of gluten ingested by individuals with IBD compared to a control population. The aim of the study is to evaluate for the first time in an Italian population of subjects with IBD the presence of a diet based on GFD (gluten free diet).
The pathogenesis of IBD is still unclear, and the disease characteristics of IBD patients are affected by genetic susceptibility genes. Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship between genetic susceptibility genes of IBD and the pathogenesis of IBD in Chinese Han population, in order to clarify the pathogenesis of IBD and provide basis for individualized treatment of IBD.
In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the videos of combined upper digestive tract and small intestine examination under MCE, so as to clarify the feasibility and diagnostic efficacy of MCE in one-time examination of the upper gastrointestinal and small intestinal mucosa.
The investigators propose an observational study including patients with inflammatory bowel disease under biological therapy with anti-TNF, anti-integrin α₄β₇ or anti-interleukin 12-23 (Ustekinumab), followed by an external Gastroenterology consultation at Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu.
Radionuclide scintigraphy is the gold standard technique to interpret OCTT but there is no normative data available for its interpretation in Indian population. Previous studies to determine OCTT have all been done with LHBT, which has many limitations. Besides there are few small comparative studies between scintigraphy and LHBT, that too not in Indian population. The aim of this study is to validate LHBT to measure OCTT compared with scintigraphy and to standardize the normal OCTT in healthy individuals
