Telomere Length and Other Parameters of Telomere Dysfunction in PSC and Colitis
Primary Sclerosing CholangitisInflammatory Bowel DiseasePSC is a chronic cholestatic disorder. The investigators intend to study some telomere parameters and telomere length in order to predict a premalignant state.
The Ecological Role of Yeasts in the Human Gut
Irritable Bowel SyndromeInflammatory Bowel Diseases1 moreIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (categorised into Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)) are chronic gut disorders with debilitating symptoms that profoundly impact quality of life, healthcare systems and the economy through lost work days. IBS is common with a prevalence of up to 22%, whereas IBD has a prevalence of 0.3% for CD and 0.5% for UC in Europe. Despite a suggested immunological and genetic aspect of IBD, the causes of IBS and IBD are unknown, however, both have been linked to yeasts in the gut. Due to their lower abundance (constituting only around 0.1% of the total microorganisms in the gut) yeasts have been less studied than bacteria. More recently, significantly altered diversity and composition of yeasts have been identified in IBS and IBD but further investigation is required to fully develop the role of yeasts in the gut. This observational study will assess yeasts and their function in the gut, comparing diseased subjects with healthy controls. The overall aim is to determine if yeasts could be targeted as a potential therapeutic for IBS and IBD to provide relief to sufferers as well as reducing the burden on healthcare systems.
Seroprevalence of Anti-bodies Against Clostridium Difficile Toxins and Prevalence of Asymptomatic...
Clostridium DifficileInflammatory Bowel DiseasesThe objective of this study to evaluate the seroprevalence of anti-bodies against C. difficile toxins A and B and the asymptomatic carriage of C. difficile in IBD patients according to the need and type of immunosuppressive therapy. The ultimate goal is to identify, among IBD patients, those with the highest risk of CDI.
Subclinical Cardiac Involvement in Patients With Inflamatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesAim of the study is to determine the prevelance of subclinical cardiac involvement in patients with inflamatory bowel disease.
Magnetic Resonance Enterography in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesAssess the accuracy of magnetic resonance-enterography in predicting the extension, location and characteristics of the small bowel segments affected by Crohn's disease& determine the diagnostic performance of standard MR enterography in detecting colonic inflammation and investigate MR enterography's ability to grade inflammatory activity and detect intestinal extra intestinal manifestations
Role of Multislice CT in Diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesAim of the work: To evaluate the role of CT in diagnosis of IBD
Evaluation of the Mechanisms of Sarcopenia in Chronic Inflammatory Disease: Protocol for a Prospective...
Chronic Liver DiseaseRheumatoid Arthritis1 moreProspective, observational study to assess sarcopenia across three chronic inflammatory diseases: chronic liver disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis both before and after therapeutic intervention (standard of care treatment i.e. nutrition/exercise; biologic for IBD etc).
Frequency of Hepatobilliary Manifestations in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Hepatobilliary Manifestations in Inflammatory Bowel Disease PatientsHepatobilliary manifestations as extraintestinal manifestations of IBD are sometimes underdiagnosed which can impair patient prognosis
Changes of Muramyl Dipeptide in Intestinal and Extra-intestinal Diseases
Colorectal CancerInflammatory Bowel Disease2 moreNucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (Nod2) signaling is critical for human health.To figure out the clinical relevance of NOD2 ligands, the investigators plan to evaluate the change of NOD2 ligands in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), CRC, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2 ).
