Active clinical trials for "Intestinal Diseases"

Introduction The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] is increasing worldwide. Both Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC] are therefore becoming an important public health issue[1] The IBD is characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation, which can cause bowel damage and intestinal complications primarily depending on the duration and severity of the inflammation[2] The diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is often established following considerable delay due to nonspecific and inconsistent symptoms. In previous western studies, the delayed diagnosis was associated with poor outcome in patients with Crohn's disease (CD).[2] Timely diagnosis is not only important for the patients themselves but has also become a relevant public health issue due to the rising incidence of IBD worldwide[3] Patients and methods Cross sectional observational study will be conducted among 700 patients of Egyptian inflammatory bowel diseased patients for different regions Aim of the study Estimate time delay for diagnosis of Egyptian inflammatory bowel diseased patients compare the delay time for diagnosis of Egyptian inflammatory bowel diseased patients globally

This is a monocentric prospective study for the collection of biological samples (blood and biopsies) to be used for in vitro biomarker assay(s) performed to identify predictive markers of response to biological treatments in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

The availability of noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosis and stratification of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) courses is lacking. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluated the accuracy of exhaled breath volatile metabolite analysis on diagnosis and stratification of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

The study aims to: To determine the relationship between inflammatory activities and epithelial gaps in IBD by CLE and evaluate epithelial gaps healing via dexamethasone treatment. To demonstrated the alteration of local barrier function in IBD using CLE.

Emerging data suggest that HIV-infected people have disproportionately higher risk of diabetes than HIV-uninfected people. Multiple factors may contribute to elevated diabetes risk including increased prevalence of conventional non-communicable diseases (NCDs) risk factors, use of some antiretroviral drugs regimens, and inflammation and immune activation secondary to environmental- and HIV-enteropathy. To date, enteropathy has been little studied in relation to HIV and diabetes in Sub-Saharan Africa. Enteropathy leads to systemic inflammation which may in turn result in insulin resistance and may reduce secretion of incretins, the gut hormones which stimulate synthesis and secretion of insulin. Both mechanisms could potentially result in higher diabetes risk in HIV patients. This study investigates the hypothesis that among HIV-infected patients environmental enteropathy increase the risk of diabetes. The findings of this study will provide information which could be used as a basis for developing clinical trials to address different aspects of environmental enteropathy in order to reduce the burden of diabetes among HIV-infected populations

This pilot prospective study will investigate the role of microbiota and known enteropathogens in Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis (ASUC). Investigators will compare a group of patients hospitalized for an ASUC with patients experiencing a Non-Severe Ulcerative Colitis (NSUC) flare by investigating microbiome, metabolome and transcriptome and integrating this data through a multi-omic framework. This systems biology approach aims at enhance our understanding of this severe event, define diagnosis and prognosis biomarkers to improve medical therapy and avoid colectomy and/or death.

IBD-related arthropathy is one of a group of inflammatory arthritides considered as seronegative spondyloarthropathies, a group of disorders that also includes ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, and undifferentiated SpA. IBD-related SpA is mainly characterized by axial involvement but may also be associated with peripheral symptoms, such as synovitis, dactylitis, or enthesitis

Descriptive study, in which the haemostatic profile of ambulatory patients with IBD will be analyzed by means of ROTEM and other techniques, such as the thrombin generation test and the study of platelet function by flow cytometry.

This clinical trial is focused in the development of a screening test for the people at risk of colo-rectal cancer (aged more than 50 years old), valid and safe, improving the screening prognosis increasing the sensitivity and sensitive as compared with the current method, fecal occult blood.

Evaluation of cardiovascular changes using Doppler echocardiography and cardiac MRI in IBD patients To detect the frequency of myocardial injury in IBD patients To detect the sensitivity and specificity of echocardiography for the detection of cardiac injury in comparison to cardiac MRI in IBD patients
