Filter by:This study is designed to confirm the non-inferiority of Tegoprazan 25 mg, compared to Lansoprazole 15 mg, to prevent gastroduodenal ulcers and verify the safety of tegoprazan following oral administration of tegoprazan 25 mg QD or lansoprazole 15 mg QD in patients on long-term treatment with NSAIDs.
Although laparoscopic repair (LR) of perforated peptic ulcers (PPUs) has long been accepted, clinical evidence comparing LR versus open repair (OR) remains lacking. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and outcome of laparoscopic gastric repair and compare it with the outcome open repair by relying on a propensity score matching statistical technique
Helicobacter pylori infection causes active peptic ulcer disease and related complications like bleeding and pyloric obstruction. Usually, clinicians tended to treat Helicobacter pylori infection after active peptic ulcer disease and related complicaitons getting healed, which spent time and money. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous administration of metronidazole, levofloxacin and esomeprazole triple therapy in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection combined with peptic ulcer disease related complications.
Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) is a frequent emergency condition worldwide with associated mortality up to 30%. Open procedures have in the most part been replaced by laparoscopic techniques. The standard postoperative management of PPUD patients is predominantly based on traditional practices. The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to investigate the feasibility of enhanced postoperative recovery pathways in patients who underwent laparoscopic repair for Perforated peptic ulcer.
The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to compare upper GI symptoms and endoscopy findings in Canada with Japan and Iran, and correlate this with the upper GI microbiome. The investigators plan to recruit 500 new patients referred for upper GI endoscopy in Canada (McMaster University) and 500 in Japan (Tohoku University Hospital) and 500 from Iran (Tehran University of Medical Sciences). Written consent will be obtained from all participants. Patients will complete three symptom questionnaires and a demographic one before endoscopy. Then saliva collection device will be applied for collecting saliva and microbiota from the oral cavity. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) will be performed thereafter and brushing of the esophagus, stomach, and the duodenum will be done using a sterile sheathed brush (one for each site) to sample collect gut microbiota and gastric biopsies will be done for assessing H.pylori status. In addition, a group of these patients will undergo measurement of nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in their oral cavity. This will be done on twenty erosive gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients, twenty non-erosive GERD patients, and twenty patients without any endoscopic or clinical GERD. This latter part of the study will be done at the Canadian and Iranian sites only. Bacterial community profiling of the 16S rRNA gene will be carried out using paired end reads of the V3 region. Triplicate amplifications will be pooled for 150 or 250 nt paired-end Illumina sequencing in the McMaster Genome Center. For specific substudies analysis of the mycome will also be carried out.
Acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding associated with the use of low-dose aspirin (ASA) is a major cause of peptic ulcer bleeding worldwide. Among survivors of acute myocardial infarction, a study of over 14,000 patients reported that the risk of life-threatening GI bleeding in the first two months is 7 times higher than that in the subsequent months. After endoscopic control of ulcer bleeding, most patients with cardiovascular (CV) diseases will need to resume ASA. However, the investigator found that immediate resumption of ASA saves life but at the expense of higher risk of recurrent bleeding. Peptic ulcer bleeding associated with ASA is a major cause of hospitalization in Hong Kong. Currently, ASA use has contributed to about one-third of the bleeding ulcers admitted to our hospital that serves a local population of 1.5 million. Accordingly, current international guidelines recommend early resumption of ASA but the optimal timing is unknown. Clinicians often face the dilemma: when should ASA be resumed? Furthermore, patients who suffer from acute peptic ulcer bleeding are often elderly patients with significant co-morbidities. Mortality in these patients remains high. Clinicians are facing an increasing number of patients who are on antiplatelet drugs or anticoagulants. The investigator proposes a open-label randomized-controlled trial to evaluate the optimal timing of resuming ASA in patients with CV diseases complicated by peptic ulcer bleeding. Patients will be randomized to resume the standard treatment within first few hours or only to resume the standard treatment 72 hours after endoscopic haemostasis.
The most common cause of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is non-variceal, where peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB) remains the single most common cause, accounting for 25% to 67% of the causes of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB). Despite major advances in diagnostic and therapeutic tools, PUB remains a significant problem and an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Given the imperative therapeutic role of endoscopic management in achieving hemostasis in NVUGIB, new modalities to improve the current treatment strategies continue to be developed. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a widely used throughout many fields of medicine for improving tissue regeneration. PRP contains a higher concentration of platelets than whole blood, and represents a pool of many growth-factors.
Patients with a history of idiopathic gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding face an increased risk of recurrent ulcer gastrointestinal bleeding. Our ongoing clinical trial demonstrates a possible reduced risk of recurrent idiopathic gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding with proton pump inhibitor (PPI), yet there is a significant risk of recurrent ulcer bleeding as PPI may increase the risk of small bowel bleeding. Our preliminary data provide strong plausibility that a combination therapy of misoprostol (MISO) with a PPI reduces the recurrent ulcer bleeding as well as clinical gastrointestinal bleeding. The investigators are going to provide the definitive answer to this important clinical question through a randomised trial.
The WIRES-T project (Web-based International Registry of Emergency General Surgery and Trauma) has been set up to allow to all the EGS (Emergency General Surgery) and Trauma surgeons to register their activity and to obtain a worldwide register of traumatic and non traumatic surgical emergencies. This will give the opportunity to evaluate results on a macro-data basis and to give index allowing stratifying, evaluating and improving the outcomes.
