Filter by:The aim of the study is to assess whether the use of artificial intelligence improves polyp detection in a segment of the colon (the right colon). To achieve this objective, patients will be divided into two groups: one will undergo a standard colonoscopy, the other a colonoscopy with the artificial intelligence software connected to the machine. This software does not modify the colonoscopy technique in any way, and does not require the administration of any product to the patient. The study will compare the detection rate of right colon polyps between the group of patients who underwent standard colonoscopy and those who underwent colonoscopy with artificial intelligence. If this number does not differ between the two groups, the investigators can conclude that there is no point in using artificial intelligence.
The goal of this study is to learn about the epigenetic and genetic regulation (microRNA/mRNA) of colorectal polyps and their evolvement as polyps and to colorectal cancer. Furthermore, the study aims at investigating whether certain epigenetic features, linked to polyps and/or cancer are traceable in blood samples. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Are there specific microRNA/mRNA that are expressed in different types of polyps and cancers and their respective stages? 2. Is microRNA/mRNA expression in polyps and cancer traceable in blood from the same patient? 3. Is the intestinal microbiata correlated with colorectal polyps and cancer and their microRNA/mRNA expression? Type of study: clinical trial Participant population Participants consist of patients undergoing a scheduled colonoscopy where a polyp or cancer is discovered. Healthy controls, with normal colonoscopy findings will be enrolled. Biopsies will be obtained from polyps/cancers and from normal surrounding intestinal mucosa. Biopsies will be obtained from defined intestinal locations from healthy controls. Blood samples will be collected from all participants. Researchers will compare microRNA/mRNA and microbiota in patients with polyps/cancers and their respective stages as well as healthy controls. Comparisons include biopsies and blood samples.
While it is known that Dupilumab has profound effects in patients with CRSwNP, these are often seen months later after treatment initiation; however, in practice, patients often endorse feeling significantly better within days of their first injection. No studies have investigated the molecular basis for such an acute change. This study proposes that specific cytokine changes in phenotype in addition to microbiome and oscillometry effects play a synergistic role in producing this effect.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of cold snare EMR versus hot snare EMR for non-pedunculated polyps 10-20mm in size with respect to complete resection rates and adverse events. DESIGN : A Randomised interventional study. Sample size: 330
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the effect of verekitug (UPB-101) on the endoscopically determined size and extend of nasal polyps in participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and to assess the safety and tolerability of verekitug (UPB-101) compared to placebo.
During this project, the investigators want to explore in vitro changes in basal cells and the crosstalk with residing immune cells as potential pathogenic mechanisms in CRSwNP vs healthy controls by using surgically resected patient samples.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been an emerging technology with uses in a wide array of fields. This research aims to use 3D printing as a tool to provide personalized education to maximize treatment efficacy based on the patient's individual anatomy. With increased irrigation to the sinuses, we hypothesize there will be improved patient satisfaction and higher quality of life. The outcomes of this research could lead to a new option for patients who live with chronic rhinosinusitis are not candidates for surgery or are interested in less invasive options. The 3D printed nasal replica is not something that would be implanted, rather it is a hand-held device used specifically for participants to better understand their nasal anatomy.
Endoscopic resection of pedicled polyps mainly focuses on how to prevent bleeding, and also needs to pay attention to the convenience of resection and the integrity of resection, which means that different endoscopic resection strategies should be adopted for pedicled polyps with different pedicle sizes. Small pedicled polyps with heads smaller than 20mm and pedicles smaller than 5mm are defined as having a relatively small risk of bleeding. Preliminary studies in recent years suggest that the use of cold snare polypectomy for small pedicled polyps may also be a safe resection strategy. However, for small pedicled polyps, ASGE and ESGE guidelines currently recommend hot snare polypectomy in the middle and lower pedicles (evidence level medium). Therefore, the provision of high-quality clinical evidence related to cold resection techniques in the resection strategy of small pedicled polyps may provide a basis for revision of guidelines.
Endoscopic resection of pedicled polyps mainly focuses on how to prevent bleeding, and also needs to pay attention to the convenience of resection and the integrity of resection, which means that different endoscopic resection strategies should be adopted for pedicled polyps with different pedicle sizes. The head larger than 20mm or pedicle larger than 5mm are defined as large pedicle polyps, which are at greater risk of bleeding. Current guidelines recommend hot removal by snare following preoperative saline injection, ligation of the pedicle with a nylon ring or metal clip, depending on the size of the polyp head and pedicle. However, the use of snares and metal clamps does not appear to reduce delayed postoperative bleeding, and the technical requirements of nylon ligation are relatively high. Recent studies have found that Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) is also safe and effective for the treatment of large and medium colorectal stemless polyps. Therefore, it is still necessary to further explore new safe and effective endoscopic resection strategies and techniques.
Safety and effectiveness of a new hemostatic system to prevent delayed bleeding after endoscopic resection in a selected high-risk population (NEXPOWDER- ENDOHS). Indication: Patients with indication of endoscopy resection by endoscopic mucal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with high risk of delayed bleeding (≥5%). Hypotheses: The use of NexpowderTM after upper and lower gastrointestinal ESD or EMR of ≥20mm in high-risk population will prevent and decrease delayed bleeding to less than 5%.
