CAre of Patients With PArenteral Nutrition At Home

Crohn's DiseasePeritoneal Carcinomatosis With Intestinal Occlusion3 more

This research aims to give an overview of a number of aspects related to the quality of care for adult patients on home parenteral nutrition. Concretely this study follows up different aspects on different moments in the care of the patient pathways: process indicators concerning indication, parenteral nutrition, training, team access roads and the succession of complications Outcome indicators the health-related quality of life discrepancies in medication use the role of the different health care providers

Plasma Citrulline Concentration in Tropical Enteropathy

Malabsorption SyndromesGranulomatous Enteritis3 more

Citrulline is an amino acid produced in the intestine and in the liver, but the liver does not contribute significantly to circulating citrulline concentrations. The intestine is thus the only organ that normally releases significant amounts of citrulline into the blood stream. The investigators have designed a study looking at the value of measuring plasma citrulline concentration in patients with tropical enteropathy of mixed HIV status. The focus will be on the ability of the intestine to sustain the individual concerned from a nutritional standpoint. The investigators hypothesise that plasma citrulline concentration is a marker of small bowel absorptive integrity and an appropriate surrogate for HIV related enteropathy.

Data Bank for Eosinophilic Disorders

Eosinophilic EsophagitisGastritis3 more

The purpose of this study is to conduct a translational study in patients with primary eosinophil associated gastrointestinal disorders [EGID] (e.g. eosinophilic esophagitis eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic enteritis [EE], eosinophilic colitis, and eosinophilic gastroenteritis [EGE]) with the aim of developing a data bank containing pertinent patient demographic information, tissue samples, and DNA, which will facilitate research on the pathophysiology of inflammatory disorders and the development of a verified successful clinical treatment program.

Evaluation of the Lymphocyte Subpopulations in the Normal Mucosa of the Upper Digestive Tract

Lymphocytic Enteritis (Disorder)Healthy Volunteers

The macro and microscopic findings of the upper gastrointestinal tract are useful in the differential diagnosis of digestive diseases such as Crohn's or celiac diseases. However, the histopathological findings (duodenal lymphocytosis, atrophy, chronic inflammatory infiltrate, etc.) are generally not pathognomonic, and there is a great overlap between different inflammatory diseases. The study of lymphocyte subpopulations of the intestine has shown its usefulness in cases of celiac disease that are difficult to diagnose. In patients with celiac disease, lymphocytes that infiltrate the duodenum present a specific pattern with increased percentage of TCRgẟ+ lymphocytes and reduced percentage of CD3- lymphocytes. However, it is currently unknown if other inflammatory diseases (e.g. Crohn's disease) have specific lymphocyte subpopulations that could be of great diagnostic aid. One of the main problems in establishing patterns associated with disease is the absence of immunological studies carried out in healthy individuals. Most of the studies include, as a control group, patients who undergo gastroscopy for the study of upper digestive symptoms and have microscopically normal duodenal biopsy. This is a heterogeneous population that includes, among others, patients with functional pathology in whom the existence of low-grade inflammatory phenomena has been suggested. Therefore, patients with digestive symptoms are not good controls to establish normal patterns of intestinal immunity.

The Endoscopic Assesment of Intestinal Grafts

Transplant; IntestineTransplant; Complication5 more

The study validates prospectively a new endoscopic scoring system (Gothenburg Intestinal Transplant Endoscopy Score, GITES) designed to summarize and stratify the abnormal ileal endoscopic findings after intestinal transplantation. GITES is a five-tier, four grade score which asseses mucosal friability, mucosal erythema and mucosal injury (ulcerations) as well as villous changes according to severity. These features (i.e., endoscopic descriptors) are also grouped from mild to very severe in the same sequence as observed during the progression of several pathologic conditions encountered after intestinal transplantation (acute rejection, infectious enteritis).

Balloon-assisted Enteroscopy and Bacteria

EnteritisBleeding

Balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) is a new tool to investigate small intestinal diseases. Deep enteroscopy made possible by balloon expansion and manipulation of small intestines. However, whether intestinal barrier injured during BAE predispose patients to bacteremia or clinical relevant infection is not studied. We will also examine relevant patient factors.
