Active clinical trials for "Dysbiosis"

The purpose of this study is to determine if the gas-sensing capsule can be used to identify increased numbers and a change of the composition of microbiota or microorganisms in the gut to assess small intestinal dysbiosis

This study aims to determine the effect of three factors (delivery type, feeding type and the use of two different dietary supplements) on rebiosis after disbiotic delivery. This is a randomized, single-blinded study with two parallel arms. Group 1 will receive L. reuteri (10^8 CFU) once a day, group 2 will receive B. longum and P. Pentosaceus (10^9 CFU) once a day.

This study will investigate the gut microbiota-mediated effects of whole wheat consumption on human health in adults with pre-diabetes. Participants will complete two phases of intervention in random order in which they will consume either whole wheat bread (4 servings) or white bread a day for two weeks prior to collecting specimens (stool, urine, and plasma/serum).

The risk of cardiovascular diseases from red meat consumption varies among individuals due to variations in gut microbiota. L-carnitine in red meat can be converted to TMAO in the body by certain bacteria. Not everyone experiences a significant increase in TMAO levels after consuming carnitine. Gut microbiota differences are observed between high and low TMAO producers. The presence of the bbu gene in gut microbiota is linked to TMAO production. This clinical research aims to determine if the bbu gene can predict TMAO levels after carnitine intake.

This study evaluates the effects of either Pediasure or Nourish formulas on the gastrointestinal microbiome in critically-ill children. Patients will be randomized to received either Pediasure or Nourish.

This study explores the effects of probiotic administration on the outcomes of surgical treatment, and also on the state of the intestinal microbiota and the intestinal barrier. The study protocol is designed as a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial. Patients qualified for bariatric surgery will be randomized to receive probiotics or a placebo for 12 weeks. Researchers are going to evaluate changes in intestinal microbiota, epithelial permeability, weight loss, postoperative complications, and serum parameters reflecting inflammation, metabolic profile, and metabolic endotoxemia.

Almonds are a good source of beneficial compounds. This study will investigate if eating almonds everyday for 12 weeks can affect gut health and inflammation in persons with metabolic syndrome. Investigators will measure changes in metabolism, heart health, and the levels of vitamins and other compounds from almonds.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG) on proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-induced changes to the microbes that live in the gastrointestinal tract and are passed out in the stool. PPI medicines reduce stomach acid and are commonly used to treat acid reflux disease.

The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of an oral nutraceutical with probiotics in restore vaginal health.

Diabetes is one of the biggest public health challenges of the 21st century because of the costs associated with its management, which are estimated at more than three billion dollars per year in Quebec. This cost has been growing steadily for 20 years now. A person with controlled diabetes mobilizes three times more medical resources than a person without diabetes (Diabetes Quebec, 2009). This amount increases rapidly with the associated complications. Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (in an omnivorous context) used specifically to control glycemia is being studied more and more, but has never been verified in a vegan context. Some studies show that a vegan diet could be an effective way to help type 2 diabetics (T2DM) to better manage their blood sugar. Thus, it is necessary to question whether these effects can be accentuated in the context of a low or very low carbohydrate diet. Numerous publications have highlighted the role of the gut microbiota in metabolic diseases, including T2DM. Analysis of the microbiome before and after dietary change combined with daily breath testing will tell us more about possible intolerances and the role of the microbiome in T2DM management. Given the novelty of these hypotheses and its absence in the literature, it is relevant to undertake a first pilot project with a smaller number of participants in order to obtain preliminary data that will allow us to define more precisely the research avenues for a subsequent study.
