Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the possible efficacy of Carvedilol as gastroprotective agent against aspirin-induced upper gastro-intestinal complications in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD).
. The aim of the present study is to study thyroid state in patients with IBD
In this prospective randomized controlled trial, pediatric volunteers were enrolled and randomly underwent mini-sized MCE and normal-sized CE to compare the success rate of self-swallowing between mini-sized MCE and normal-sized CE during gastrointestinal examination.
Rationale: Existing literature suggests an impaired health-related physical fitness (HRPF) (i.e., body composition, aerobic capacity, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, previous studies did not assess HRPF with the 5- component multidimensional concept. HRPF is not routinely screened for and measured within the IBD population in clinical practice. The lack of a simple screening tool and assessment method for HRPF validated for the IBD population hinders the ability to distinguish patients with IBD with adequate physical fitness from those who might benefit from physical exercise interventions targeting specific components. Gold standard measures are too expensive and too complex to implement in daily practice and therefore a screening tool and a simpler assessment battery for HRPF validated in patients with IBD are needed. It is necessary to obtain more objective insights into the specific components of HRPF affected in patients with IBD, and its association with patient-, disease-, and treatment-related factors in order to implement systematic screening in routine care and subsequently offer tailored physical exercise interventions. Objective: The main objective of this study is to validate a simple screening tool and a best-practice assessment battery for the different components of HRPF against gold standard measures. Secondary objectives are to objectively assess the incidence of specific components affected in patients with IBD compared to healthy control subjects and to explore the association between these components of HRPF affected and patient-, disease-, and treatment-related factors.
This study is phase 2 open-label, single-arm, multi-center clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Camostat mesylate in patients with Protein-losing enteropathy after Fontan operation.
To identify the role of enteroscopy in diagnosis and treatment of small intestinal diseases.
this study aims to determine the effect of 8 weeks of exercise on the quality of life and muscle strength of patients with IBD. Patients will be randomized into 1) Intervention group: doing aerobic and resistance exercise according to physiotherapist prescription and 2) Control group: usual medical care. Both groups will continue their medications prescribed by the Gastroenterologist. After 8 weeks patients come back to the hospital for reevaluation of measured indices. The primary outcome of this study is the patient quality of life assessed by the IBDQ questionnaire. Other outcomes that will be evaluated before and after 8 weeks are muscle strength measured by a dynamometer and laboratory markers such as ESR and CRP and tool calprotectin. Also, disease activity using partial mayo score and Harvey Bradshaw score will be calculated and compared before and after treatment.
A prospective, multicenter, post-market, minimal risk, observational study designed to collect PillCamTM SB3 capsule endoscopy (CE) procedures and subsequent device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) procedures data (double balloon enteroscopy (DBE), single balloon enteroscopy (SBE) and spiral enteroscopy (SE)) in medical centers in the United States (US).
ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, the two major forms of inflammatory bowel disease, are chronic, idiopathic, relapsing inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. The mechanism is multifactorial and may result from the combined interaction of environmental, genetic, epithelial barrier defects, dysregulated immune responses, and microbial factors
The study aimed at diagnose and to detect the incidence of functional anorectal disorders in patients with inactive inflammatory bowel disease and to highlight the role of anorectal manometry in evaluating IBD patients with persistent defecatory dysfunction .
