The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the safeness and effectiveness of traditional esophagogastroduodenoscope (EGD) and wired magnetically assisted capsule endoscopy (MACE) in the diagnosis of esophageal varices in biliary atresia (BA) patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Subjects who do wired magnetically assisted capsule endoscopy do not need to open the mouths during the process, this study also want to know whether wired magnetically assisted capsule endoscopy can reduce the generation of droplets. - Diagnostic accuracy between traditional esophagogastroduodenoscope and wired magnetically assisted capsule endoscopy in biliary atresia patients with esophageal varices. Participants will do either traditional esophagogastroduodenoscope or wired magnetically assisted capsule endoscopy.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the tongue bioinformatics of high-risk and low-risk patients with esophageal varices due to liver cirrhosis. The main question of this study is to explore whether there exists a relationship between the degree of esophageal varices and tongue bioinformatics in liver cirrhosis. it aims to answer 2 questions as below: question 1: If these is a significant difference in tongue bioinformatics between patients in liver cirrhosis with high-risk and low-risk of esophageal varices. Question 2; If tongue bioinformatics can be used as a diagnostic basic for testing esophageal varices in liver cirrhosis. Firstly, participants will be divided into two groups according to their degree of esophageal varices from electronic gastroscopy report and CT scan report including high-risk group and low-risk group. Secondly, participants will be asked to show their tongue, including the surface and sublingual veins of tongue, and the tongue images of each participants will be collected by researchers via camera. After finishing tongue image collection, participants will receive a professional tongue diagnosis report in Traditional Chinese Medicine and health suggestion.
Purpose: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the method for determining the clinical class of chronic venous diseases using the Ivenus application (within C0-C2 according to CEAP). Materials and methods: Patients who applied to several phlebology clinics for an initial consultation are consistently included in a multicenter prospective study. At the appointment, a doctor with at least 5 years of experience takes photographs of the lower extremities and uploads them to the IVENUS application, which automatically determines the clinical class according to CEAP, without showing the results to the surgeon (blinding). Further, the doctor independently determines the clinical class according to CEAP and enters the data into the register. The object of the study is a photograph of a certain area of the lower limb.
The patients with GOV1 esophagogastric varices will be treated with gastric variceal tissue gel injection, at the same time, the esophageal varices were treated with ligation, sclerotherapy, or no treatment. A new method for the treatment of esophageal varices will be proposed to improve the effective rate and reduce the recurrence rates and mortality, shorter hospital stays, and lower treatment costs, while further expanding HVPG testing to develop the best strategy for secondary prevention of endoscopic treatment in patients with GOV1 type esophageal and gastric varices.
In the literature, it is stated that cold water immersion to lower extremities is effective on the symptoms of the disease. Studies have shown that cold water immersion, which is one of the cold application methods, has effects on increasing joint mobility, reducing pain, reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and increasing quality of life etc. For this reason, the study is planned as a randomized controlled interventional study to determine the effect of cold water immersion directly to the lower extremity in the preoperative period of patients with varicose veins on quality of life, anxiety and symptoms experienced.
In this project, an exploratory study was conducted to perform in situ venous valve remodeling in vivo, evaluate venous valve function after surgery and conduct regular follow-up, collect relevant ultrasonic data before, during and after surgery, and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Ultrasound-guided percutaneous great saphenous vein valve functional remodeling.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the ability of Doppler ultrasonography of the portal vein and liver stiffness measurement using Transient Elestoghraphy in predicting prescence of gastroesophageal variceal and variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis
Research has proven that large varices can be treated with beta-blockers (a type of anti-hypertensive medication) to reduce the pressure in the veins. The management of small varices is still uncertain. This study aims to discover if beta blockers can be used in this setting. We hypothesize that beta blockers will reduce the risk of bleeding from small varices from 20% to 10% over a period of 3 years, resulting in significant cost savings to the NHS from better patient outcomes.
Primary prophylaxis of gastric varices is an important area of research, as gastric varices are a common complication of cirrhosis of the liver. Cirrhosis is a condition in which the liver becomes scarred and loses its ability to function properly, and it is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Gastric varices occur in up to 30% of patients with cirrhosis, and they can rupture, leading to life-threatening bleeding. The clinical, epidemiological, and public health context of primary prophylaxis of gastric varices is therefore the need to prevent the development of this complication in patients at risk for cirrhosis and to reduce the associated morbidity and mortality. The clinical trials on primary prophylaxis of gastric varices are therefore focused on evaluating the safety and efficacy of various interventions, such as beta-blockers and endoscopic techniques, in reducing the risk of gastric varices in patients with cirrhosis. The goal of this trial is to find the most effective and safe strategies for primary prophylaxis of gastric varices, in order to improve the outcomes for patients with cirrhosis.
