Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic remitting and relapsing inflammatory bowel disease. The pathogenesis is multifactorial, involving genetic predisposition, epithelial barrier defects, dysregulated immune responses, and environmental factors. It is diagnosed through colonoscopy and histological evidence of mucosal inflammation involving predominantly the rectum and potentially extending continuously up to the proximal segments of the colon. The patients affected present with severe abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea together with extraintestinal manifestations such as peripheral arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, erythema nodosum, ankylosing spondylitis and many others. The last 20 years have been profitable from the therapeutical point of view thanks to the advent of biological drugs which are derived from a living organism or its products including antibodies, interleukins and other molecules capable to target specific cellular pathways and to modulate different mechanisms such as blocking the actions of cytokines or white cells movement in the gut. More recently new promising alternatives seems to be the so-called small molecule drugs which are chemically derived low molecular weight compounds capable to enter the cell to regulate its functions and more generally biological processes like inflammation. In the last years, the therapeutic offer for ulcerative colitis patients has been enriched with the advent of biologics with different mechanism of action and very recently with the availability of the small molecules. Currently the available therapeutic options for ulcerative colitis include topic and systemic mesalazine, topic and systemic glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants (thiopurines), biological drugs (anti-tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), inhibitor of α4β7 integrin, anti-IL12-23) and small molecules (JAK inhibitors). However, if on the one hand the therapeutical enrichment has clearly improved the disease rate control, still there is the need to perform sequencing study to stratify the available options to provide the best and most appropriate patient-oriented management.
Single-centre clinical study investigating the safety and tolerability of randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled ascending single doses of topically applied SoftOx Biofilm Eradicator (SBE) in patients with chronic leg wounds and of open-label once daily, twice daily, and thrice daily dosing of topically applied SBE for five days in patients with chronic leg wounds. The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of topically applied SBE in patients with chronic leg wounds. A secondary objective of the study is to assess changes in bacterial burden in the leg wound after treatment with SBE.
Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) is a common surgical emergency. Exploratory laparotomy and repair with the omental patch are routine surgical intervention till now. In developing counties, laparoscopic repair is still not considered the gold standard in this emergency condition. This study was conducted to evaluate laparoscopic management of PPU in terms of peri-operative outcomes.
A Prospective, Non-Randomized, Multi-Center Observational Study To determine the safety and effectiveness of InnovaMatrix AC porcine placental ECM therapy for the treatment of chronic, non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) Eligible subjects will be treated with a weekly application of sterilized, porcine placental ECM followed by standard of care wound therapy and offloading
We propose a randomized controlled study to assess the efficacy of: 1. Platelet-lysate loaded sustained release thermo-gelling formulation (Platelets-SR) 2. EPO/ISDN/UFH cryogel dressing (Trigel) As adjuncts to standard-of-care (SOC) in the treatment of chronic DFUs compared to SOC alone for patients attending the DFU outpatient clinic at the Gastroenterology Centre, Mansoura University.
The present study aimed to compare the in vivo prebiotic properties of bread produced by traditional breadmaking techniques with that made using a modern breadmaking method on Irritable Bowel Syndrome-like symptoms in patients with quiescent Ulcerative Colitis. The expected outcome of the differential effects was a change in the faecal microbiome composition, which may indicate changes in the mucosa-associated microbiota.
It is uncertain whether vitD3 supplementation is beneficial for the remission of ulcerative colitis (UC). The effects of vitD3 supplements on the efficacy of vidrecizumab in Chinese UC patients were retrospectively analyzed. Methods: Patients with moderate to severe UC were recorded. These patients were initially treated with VDZ. VitD3 supplementation was defined as 400IU/d vitD3 supplementation during the first infusion of VDZ and continued throughout the follow-up period. Disease activity was assessed using the modified Mayo score.
The aim of this post market clinical follow up (PMCF) study is to confirm the performance of Suprasorb® A + Ag wound dressing and rope, to collect safety data regarding expected adverse events and to detect potential unexpected adverse events associated with use of Suprasorb® A + Ag wound dressing and rope within the certified indications and under the conditions of routine use.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and lifelong disease that causes disabilities for sufferers and causes mental health disorders in the patients. For this reason, it is important to know which psychotherapy is more effective for UC patient's problems, and since no research has been done on the effectiveness of well-being therapy on the mental health problems of these patients, this research can help psychologists and other specialists in this field to help patients with UC and other chronic disease. The present study is conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of mental well-being on the mental health and quality of life of patients with ulcerative colitis. The research method was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The study population included all patients with ulcerative colitis who were previously diagnosed with ulcerative colitis by a gastroenterologist and referred to one of the gastroenterology centers for treatment. The criteria for entering the patients into the study were: definitive diagnosis of ulcerative colitis according to the opinion of a gastroenterologist, consent to participate in the study, having at least a high-school education and an age range of 18 to 60 years. The patients who were excluded from the study were: patients who have acute Psychiatric or other medical disorders , patients who have participated in counseling or psychotherapy sessions in the last six months and patients who lose motivation to participate in the interview or are absent for more than two sessions. The convenience sampling method was used. The list of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases was provided to the researcher after the consent of the head of the Digestive Disease Research Institute. 300 ulcerative colitis patients of this list were contacted according to the criteria for entering the study, and they were invited to participate in the treatment sessions after a brief explanation about the objectives of the sessions, sessions duration and time. Finally, 32 patients volunteered and were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: 16 people (9 women and 7 men) were in the well-being therapy group and 16 people (8 men and 8 women) were in the control group. In the post-test phase, one person in the study group stopped working, and in the follow-up phase, which was done 6 months later , the study did face any shortages.
