This is a 6 month open label study of an intravenous (IV) medication. Visits occur every 2 weeks initially, then every 1-2 months later in the study.

Study Evaluating the Persistence, Efficacy and Tolerability of Methotrexate in Inflammatory Bowel...
Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesCrohn Disease1 moreMethotrexate is one of the immunosuppressants used in chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is indicated as monotherapy for induction and maintenance treatment of Crohn's disease (CD), or in combination with anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents for prevention of immunization. The main objective is to assess the persistence rate of methotrexate treatment in patients followed for chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) Polymorphisms In Inflammatory Bowel Disease...
Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesThe inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract that manifests as Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC . Over the last two decades the incidence pattern of UC showed significant increase in previously low incidence areas such as Asia and the Middle East. In addition to microbial and environmental factors influencing IBDs, they are complex genetically, where hundreds of genetic loci contribute to disease susceptibility . Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several genetic susceptibility loci for UC and CD. Among the genetic factors involved, there are several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in molecules of the immune system associated with either susceptibility or protective effects to IBD progression, but with contradictory associations, mainly depending on the onset (adult or pediatric), sample size differences, inadequate statistical power and on the ethnicity-dependent genetic background. Growing evidence indicates that (RAGE) is involved in chronic inflammation and cancer. It is a transmembrane receptor normally expressed at low levels on a wide range of cells, bind a broad spectrum of ligands. Activated RAGE induces the synthesis of proinflammatory molecules resulting in magnifying rather than dampening inflammation . The human RAGE gene is located on chromosome 6p21.3, in the so-called class III of the major histocompatibility complex. The SNP at the -374A/T and -429T/C of the promoter region have been shown to increase protein synthesis threefold and twofold, respectively. Few studies found that RAGE is up-regulated in IBD, and it appears to play a role in the mechanisms involved in chronic inflammation Little information is available on the possible association of such polymorphisms with IBD. Few studies was carried out in different countries to assess these polymorphisms in IBD, resulting in conflicting results, between supporting and denial of the association. Due to this discrepancy we aimed to study this gene in our community including IBD patients.

Minimally Invasive Burch Colposuspension to Reduce Occult Stress Incontinence
Pelvic Organ ProlapseUrinary Incontinence,Stress4 moreThis study evaluates the addition of a laparoscopic Burch colposuspension procedure at the time of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy to prevent stress urinary incontinence. Half of the participants will undergo Burch colposuspension procedure at the time of sacrocolpopexy, and half of the participants will undergo sacrocolpopexy alone.

Panaceo "MED" for IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
Irritable Bowel SyndromeMicrobial Colonization1 moreZeolite clinoptilolite is a volcanic mineral from the group of zeolites. The porous structure is associated with a large inner surface. Due to the anionic framework charge, ions (e.g., Pb^2+) can be absorbed or exchanged. The specific Panaceo PMA zeolite is approved as a class IIa medical device for the repair of the intestine inner lining. It is CE certified and complies with the relevant European Union regulations in terms of safety and effectiveness. Zeolite is known for its absorbing properties. Because of these properties and the results of several human studies, it warrants the investigation of possible effects on specific indications in human medicine, e.g. irritable bowel syndrome. The diagnosis "irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)" is according to the ROME Foundation, an US medical society. IBS is a disorder with dysfunction of the bowels, a latent inflammation is discussed. The present study aims to evaluate the following effects in patients with IBS: Primary endpoint: effect on the symptoms of IBS. Secondary endpoint: intestinal wall permeability, integrity of the tight junctions as measured by the change in zonulin concentration in the stool. Further endpoints: Inflammation parameters and anti-inflammatory laboratory parameters. Biodiversity of the gastrointestinal microbiome. histamine-associated parameters. Constipation as a possible side effect. For this purpose, a double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) is realized prospectively in a monocentric outpatient-controlled study. The subjects take the test compound daily (verum, reference substance) for 12 weeks and document the intake of the study-substance, intake of medications, stool-frequency and consistency. They receive "before" and "after" the intervention phase a blood and stool analysis for the determination of parameters for intestinal wall integrity (zonulin) inflammation (hsCRP, interleukin-10, calprotectin), histamine metabolism, microbiome diversity. The pilot study is realized ahead of the detailed planning of a later main study.

LIFEwithIBD: Living With Intention, Fullness and Engagement With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesThis investigation aims to apply and test the feasibility of an acceptance, mindfulness and compassionate-based intervention structured for inflammatory bowel disease patients. LIFEwithIBD programme for inflammatory bowel disease thus comprises 9 weekly group sessions, lasting 1 and a half hour each, run in small groups at a Gastroenterology Service at the Coimbra's University Hospital. For each week participants have assigned homework (e.g., mindfulness exercises). The efficacy of LIFE-IBD Group Intervention to improve quality of life, mental health, and disease activity-related scores will be tested in a sample of Portuguese patients. Additionally, this study expected that the observable changes after the intervention completion will be attributed to changes in emotional regulation processes and maintained over the follow-up periods.

iPeer2Peer Program for Adolescents With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesThe iPeer2Peer program matches teens with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) with an older mentor who has learned to manage their IBD well and can support them emotionally and socially. This study will compare two groups of teens: those who are in the iPeer2Peer program and those in the control group (no mentor).
