Filter by:The purpose of the KETONASH study is to evaluate, in patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and significant liver fibrosis, the effect of a very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) compared to that of a standard low-calorie diet (standard Mediterranean LCD - in accordance with the European Association for the Study of the Liver/European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism guidelines on MAFLD/NAFLD).
This study will be a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility, safety and acceptability of Exercise and Liver FITness (EL-FIT), a mHealth exercise training program previously validated in patients with cirrhosis in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an inflammatory liver disease caused by the accumulation of fat in liver cells. With the change of living habits and diet, the incidence of Nash continues to increase. In the early stage, NASH generally has no obvious symptoms. With the progression of the disease and the aggravation of liver damage, it may induce fatigue, loss of body mass, and pain in the right upper abdomen, which seriously affects the health of patients. There are no specific drugs to treat NASH in clinical practice. Increasing exercise, taking drugs to avoid liver damage, controlling diet and other methods can alleviate clinical symptoms to a certain extent, but the stability of disease control is poor, and it is easy to develop into cirrhosis, threatening the life safety of patients. However, there are few clinical reports on the effect of drugs on NASH. In the previous treatment of patients with liver fibrosis, our research group found that non-alcoholic steatohepatitis NASH induced liver fibrosis has a good effect, suggesting that Langqingata may improve NASH. Based on this, this study observed the total effective rate of Lang Qingata in the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatic NASH.
The recent development of dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) technology for hyperpolarized (HP) 13C imaging offers a promising new avenue for non-invasively accessing fundamental metabolic changes associated with the progression of fatty liver disease in vivo. The purpose of this pilot study is to optimize sequence parameters for hyperpolarized 13C acquisition in the human liver and determine which metabolic changes can be seen in humans with simple, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) when compared to healthy volunteers.
The researchers want to learn how androgens, a type of sex hormone, might affect nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) in young women over time. NAFLD happens when fat builds up in the liver which can cause damage to the liver such as inflammation or scarring. Young women with a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a high risk for NAFLD, and they often have high androgen levels too. So the researchers are recruiting young women with PCOS as well as those without PCOS, and will compare changes in NAFLD over time between young women with and without PCOS. This study is funded by the National Institutes of Health
The study is to assess frequency of NASH in Psoriatic patient and to measure the level of proinflammatory cytokines including TNFα, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-17 and anti-inflammatory cytokines including IL10, IL35 by ELISA.
The Early Liver Disease Breath Detection Study is a cross-sectional study where subjects with advanced liver fibrosis will ingest a mixture of food-grade compounds (known as Exogenous Volatile Organic Compound or EVOCs) in the form of an emulsion and then provide multiple breath samples. These EVOCs can be measured on exhaled breath and it has been found that liver diseases can affect the way EVOCs are processed in the body. The objective is to identify if changes in the way these EVOCs are processed in the body can have the potential to diagnose early stage liver diseases for these subjects. Subjects with fibro-scan confirmed fibrosis will be recruited from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) by local research staff, they will be invited to take part in the study at a dedicated clinic at OneNorwich Practises a clinic based in Norwich City Centre. They will be asked to fast overnight then provide a baseline breath sample, before ingesting the food-grade EVOCs emulsion and then providing additional breath samples at subsequent time points up to 90 minutes post ingestion.
A two-part open-label study to assess the absolute bioavailability of aramchol and the mass balance recovery, metabolite profile and identification of metabolite structures for [14C]-aramchol in healthy male subjects
The investigators hypothesize that weight loss obtained with the French RNPC weight reduction program is beneficial for the general health of overweight/obese patients in the medium term. The objective of this cohort study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the RNPC program on the reduction of drug or instrumental treatments (for example, continuous positive pressure ventilation for the treatment of sleep apnea syndrome) and the improvement of overweight/obesity-associated comorbidities in the medium term. This is a multicenter clinical study, as part of routine care, with standardized nutritional care (RNPC Program) in all RNPC centers in France. A cohort will be formed based on the clinical and biological data usually collected in the centers, enriched by data from additional clinical and biological examinations as well as by self-questionnaires completed by the participants. About 10,000 overweight or obese participants will be included for 2 years and followed 5 years. The SCOOP-RNPC study will have benefits for individual participants, for the scientific community in terms of knowledge acquired and for society with a better definition of the impact of treatments. Responding to the major public health issue represented by overweight, this prospective cohort of overweight or obese patients will make it possible to evaluate, in real-life conditions, the effects of weight loss obtained by the RNPC Program in the short, medium and long term on biological parameters predictive of cardiometabolic risk, drug consumption, quality of life, diet and eating behavior, sleep, physical activity, stress/anxiety, as well as depression. This cohort will make it possible to identify clinical phenotypes and biomarkers to optimize the personalization of the management of overweight or obese patients, in particular those at risk of developing comorbidities associated with excess weight.
The aim of this randomised control trial is to evaluate the effect of Misoprostol in treating patients with NASH.
