Filter by:We attempt to clarify the serum leucine-rich α 2-glycoprotein (LRG) level which predicts endoscopic remission in ulcerative colitis patients in this study. Colonoscopy with histology is performed when endoscopic remission will be predicted based on serum LRG values, irrespective of symptoms. Serum LRG levels were analyzed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
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.
In this prospective, non-randomized cohort study, real-time intraoperative visualization using near-infrared-fluorescence by indocyanine green injection (ICG-NIRF) is performed at three time points during ileal pouch reconstruction. Postoperatively, a detailed software-based assessment of each pouch recording is performed to determine the objective ICG-NIRF perfusion rate, which is then correlated with the 30 day postoperative clinical outcome including occurrence of anastomotic leak of the pouch.
Mucosal healing or histological remission is an important target for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. In this study, patients with mucosal healing are defined as a control group, observing their clinical outcomes for 3 years, and describing the recurrence rate. The secondary objective is to study the operative rate, glucocorticoid utilization rate, treatment escalation rate, hospitalization rate and incidence of related complications.
Rationale: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is remitting disease with a variable course. Predicting disease relapse after remission is important for the adjustment of medical treatment. Ileocolonoscopy is the best tool for doing this, but due to its invasiveness should be replaced by a method better accepted by the patient. Gastrointestinal ultrasound (GIUS) could be such a method.The PRELAPSE study will include UC patients who have been on maintenance anti-TNF therapy for at one year or more and in clinical remission for the 3 past months at least in two centres, Haukeland University Hospital and Ålesund Hospital. The infrastructure for recruiting these patients has already been established in the BIOSTOP study (Protocol ID no: HMR2016-0.6 and EudraCT (European Clinical Trials Database) no: 2016-001409-18). Objective: To study if GIUS or individual US parameters can predict endoscopic relapse at follow up examinations in a group of patients with ulcerative colitis in sustained clinical and endoscopic remission Study design: Prospective, longitudinal, explorative, observational multi-centric study for diagnostic accuracy Study population: Adult patients with histo-pathologically confirmed diagnosis of UC between 18 and 80 years of age that have entered the BIOSTOP trial (Trial number: EudraCT: 2016-001409-18) will be considered for inclusion in the proposed study. Intervention: All patients will be subjected to trans-abdominal gastrointestinal ultrasound and ileocolonoscopy. Blood and faeces samples will be collected at one time point for measuring relevant inflammatory markers. Main study parameter: Ultrasound measurements of the intestine of patients with ulcerative colitis Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: All patients will be examined repeatedly with gastrointestinal ultrasound (GIUS) and at certain time points with ileocolonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy. As all these procedures already are scheduled as a part of the BIOSTOP study the only extra burden for the patients will be the ultrasound examination. GIUS is a safe procedure that uses high frequency sound waves for the visualization of internal organs. The implementation of GIUS for the assessment of disease activity in UC patients might result in a reduced need for ileocolonoscopy, thereby reducing costs and the burden for patients. Compared to invasive endoscopic procedures GIUS can be performed without preparation, which is an advantage for the patients as treatment decisions can be made without delay. GIUS is also cheaper than ileocolonoscopy, causes little discomfort and has few or no complications.
UC is a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder with relapsing and remitting course. The efficacy of mesalazine in preventing relapse in patients with UC is well-known and supported by randomized studies. However, mesalazine can be associated with side-effects. In addition, drug compliance is suboptimal, especially when disease is not active. Curcumin is a natural phytochemical derived from the Indian spice turmeric. It is widely used, has potent anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-tumour properties. The aims of this double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of curcumin in the prevention of relapse in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).
The purpose of this study is to determine the reason patients are deficient in nutrients intake such as antioxidants vitamins.
To demonstrate that import Mesalazine (ASACOL®) is non-inferior to the reference drug, marketed Mesalazine, regarding the primary endpoint (rate of non-emergence of bloody stool), in patients with Ulcerative Colitis in remission, treated for 48 weeks.
