Filter by:This study aims to explore whether regular telephone intervention in patients with chronic pancreatitis can improve their smoking cessation rate.
Patients with chronic pancreatitis suffer from constant debilitating symptoms. They have complex needs and require specialist, multi-disciplinary care. The investigators have developed a mobile phone app for patients with chronic pancreatitis, called the SmartCP app - the first app of its kind for this patient group. What is SmartCP? SmartCP is an app that allows patients to log daily symptoms, diet, and physical activity for review at clinic. It creates a red-alert for action if there are worsening symptoms. A Monthly-Check-In feature looks for symptoms of new diabetes or pancreatic cancer. SmartCP provides education on every aspect of pancreatitis, as well as contact information for the clinical team and for important pancreatitis resources. To develop SmartCP, the investigators established a multidisciplinary steering committee. The study The investigators aim to conduct a feasibility study to determine if the SmartCP app is feasible in the management of patients with chronic pancreatitis, complementing current specialist healthcare. Specifically, they will investigate acceptability, retention, incidents, resources, app user statistics, as well as investigating the occurrence of crisis events, symptoms, escalating symptoms, new diagnoses of diabetes or pancreatic cancer, and the use of communication and education features.
The study will evaluate safety and tolerance of intravenous delivery of GC304 gene therapy drug as a treatment of primary hypertriglyceridemic patients with previous onset of acute pancreatitis.
One-year recurrence rate of acute pancreatitis at about 20%. 36% of the patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis will develop into chronic pancreatitis. In addition to negative impact on patient's quality of life, chronic pancreatitis is also associated with the occurrence of pancreatic cancer. The etiology of recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) can be divided into mechanical obstructive factors (e.g. cholelithiasis, cholestasis), metabolic abnormality and toxic substance factors (e.g. hyperlipidemia and alcoholism), and other or idiopathic factors. At present, the diagnosis and treatment of RAP remains highly challenging. Early identification and intervention on risk factors of recurrence will be effective in reducing incidence and improving prognosis. Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) can not only provide more imaging information and further assess the severity of acute pancreatitis, but also aid in the differentiation of other diseases associated with acute abdominal pain. In addition, radiomics based on raw radiographic data has become a research hotspot in recent years. The purpose of this study is to establish and validate a deep learning model based on high concentration iopromide-enhanced abdominal CT images which is designed to predict the recurrence of pancreatitis in patients with first episode of pancreatitis within the 1-year follow-up period.
The purpose of this pilot study to examine the feasibility and acceptability of simvastatin in adults with Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis (RAP) and Chronic Pancreatitis (CP).
The goal of this observational study was to explore the complex relationship between changes in the intestinal microbiome and serum metabolites in patients with novel coronavirus infection and acute pancreatitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1: The changes of intestinal microbiota and serum metabolites in patients with novel coronavirus infection and acute pancreatitis. Question 2: The relationship between the changes in the intestinal microbiome and serum metabolites. Participants will be recruited according to certain criteria. The investigators plan to recruit 4 groups of 30 volunteers, 120 volunteers in total. It is divided into (a) AP patients without COVID-19 (normal group) (b) AP patients with COVID-19 (treatment group) (c) patients with COVID-19 infection (control group) (d) normal healthy people. The basic information of subjects, including age, sex, address, and enrollment time, was collected after enrollment. After completing the relevant preparations, start the experiment. First of all, the sample collection and detection. Blood samples were taken from 2-3ml of blood (biochemical tube) after admission or in the morning of the next day, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 3 minutes, and stored at -80℃ within 1 hour after taking the serum; Fecal samples are stool samples retained after admission and before antibiotic use. Fecal samples need to be stored at -20℃ within one hour after collection and transferred to -80℃within 24 hours. After the retention of samples, the retained stool samples shall be tested for bacterial flora, and the blood samples shall be tested for serum metabolomics. After the test, the investigators will use the statistical software SPSS 22.0 for statistical analysis. At the same time, in order to determine the correlation between intestinal flora and clinical parameters, the investigators will use Permutation analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) to process the data.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of rectal indomethacin in prevention of post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis.
The goal of this study is, in a population of patients undergoing ERCP surgery, treated preventively with NSAIDs and divided into two groups according to the absence (group 1) or presence (group 2) of intravenous lidocaine in the general anesthesia protocol. The main objective of this study is to compare the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis between the two groups. type of study: clinical trial participant population/health conditions: Patients with ERCP surgery
The main objective of this work is to evaluate the recurrence of biliary episodes before cholecystectomy (hepatic colic, lithiasic migration, cholangitis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, necrosis infections) in patients with acute biliary pancreatitis of any severity depending on the type of nutrition (oral, enteral or parenteral).
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas which causes abdominal pain and is the most common gastro-intestinal reason for acute hospitalization in Western countries. Because care for a mild acute pancreatitis is supportive, early discharge of patients with a predicted mild course of acute pancreatitis might be safe with the use of remote home monitoring. This might reduce the demand for hospital beds and allow patients to benefit from recovering in their home environment. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a novel care pathway in which patients with a predicted mild course of acute pancreatitis are discharged early with remote home monitoring.
