Patient Satisfaction With Subdissociative Dose Ketamine Versus Morphine for Emergency Department...

Abdominal Pain

The proposed research will be a single blinded (patient) randomized controlled prospective trial of adult patients receiving treatment for moderate to severe abdominal pain to test the hypothesis that patient satisfaction with pain control with Ketamine will be comparable to patient satisfaction with pain control using morphine when treating abdominal pain.

Resistance of Helicobacter Pylori to Antibiotics in Children

Abdominal PainChildren2 more

Helicobacter Pylori (HP) is one of the most common pathogens in humans. This infection can present in children with abdominal pain, vomiting and iron deficiency. The treatment is usually empiric and includes antibiotic treatment usually Amoxycillin and Clarithromycin or Metronidazole. Between 40 to 70 % of the pathogens are resistant to those drugs, and it is important to characterize the specific sensitivity of the pathogens in any specific area and in pediatric population. The aims of this study is to assess the sensitivity of HP in pediatric population in Northern Israel.

Correlation of Location of Abdominal Tenderness With Acute CT Abnormalities in Emergency Department...

Abdominal Pain

To determine the correlation between the region of abdominal tenderness determined by the examining physician and the location of acute pathology diagnosed on abdominal CT. We hypothesize that the acute pathology diagnosed by CT will lie within the region marked on the abdominal wall by the examining physician prior to CT.

Evaluation of Pressure Algometry in the Clinical Assessment of Acute Abdominal Pain in Children...

AppendicitisDiagnoses Disease1 more

In this retrospective observational case study, the investigators review the clinical experience with pressure-pain algometry in children with suspected appendicitis. The investigators hypothesized that algometry can discriminate children with appendicitis from children without appendicitis and aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of algometry, compared to ultrasound imaging and clinical assessment.

Abdominal Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome

Abdominal PainAbdominal Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome

Nerve entrapment as a cause of chronic abdominal pain is frequently overlooked. A series of nerves pass through the muscles of the abdomen before reaching the skin to carry sensations. They can get trapped within the muscles leading to severe pain resulting in a condition known as Abdominal Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome (ACNES). ACNES affects between 10-30% of patients with chronic abdominal wall pain. A definitive diagnosis of ACNES is obtained by anaesthetising these nerves. Initial management includes education and avoidance of known triggers. It is common practice to inject steroid with local anaesthetic during the diagnostic injections itself to prolong pain relief. Like other nerve entrapment conditions, this is also refractory to medical treatment. Hence repeated injections and nerve entrapment release surgery are commonly carried out. In Aberdeen, a number of patients have been treated for this condition. A cohort of patients have benefitted with injection alone while recurrence has been noted in patients who have undergone surgery. This project aims to gain more understanding about the clinical course of patients with suspected ACNES by evaluation of the clinic progress.

Helicobacter Pylori Sample Collection Protocol Post Therapy Subjects

Helicobacter Pylori InfectionGastric Ulcer6 more

The primary objective is to obtain stool samples from post-therapy subjects already undergoing evaluation for an H. pylori infection by upper esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and gastric biopsy.

Free Text Prediction Algorithm for Appendicitis

Acute AppendicitisAbdominal Pain

Computer-aided diagnostic software has been used to assist physicians in various ways. Text-based prediction algorithms have been trained on past medical records through data mining and feature analysis. Currently, all text-based machine learning prediction problem models have been built on extracted data with no research completed on free text based prediction algorithms. This study aims to determine the accuracy of a free text prediction algorithm in predicting the probability of appendicitis in patients presenting to the Emergency Department with abdominal pain and gastrointestinal symptoms.

Detection of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency in Patients With Diarrhea and Bloating

DiarrheaExocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency1 more

The prevalence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) among patients presenting with diarrhea and bloating as their chief complaints is not well studied. Diarrhea and or bloating can be due to different etiologies such as celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome. However, concomitant EPI can exacerbate these conditions, or be the main cause of the symptoms. Furthermore, some of these diagnoses can be epiphenomena or consequences of EPI. The Investigators hypothesize that EPI will be detected in significant proportion of patients with bloating or diarrhea and that early detection and management of EPI can prevent unnecessary work up for other causes of diarrhea.
