Short Bowel SyndromeThe aim of the study is to investigate the effect of the enteric hormone Glucagon-like Peptide (GLP-2) on patients with short bowel syndrome
Pectin Use in Pediatric Intestinal Rehabilitation
Short Bowel SyndromePediatric short bowel patients, age 6 months to 21 years old, followed in our intestinal rehabilitation clinic, will be screened for qualification in the study. If meets qualification, will be consented for the study. The study involves patients receiving green beans in their diet for three months with data collection including stooling patterns as well as labs, and then switching over to liquid pectin for three months. Again data collection will take place. The duration of the study once patient is consented is ~6 months.
Pharmacokinetics of Citalopram in Patients With Short Bowel Syndrome
Short Bowel SyndromeThis study will look at how the body interacts with citalopram in adult participants with short bowel syndrome. While information on depression in patients with short bowel syndrome is sparse, the investigators' experience is that these patients have a high incidence of depression and should benefit from a drug intervention.
Malnutrition in Chronic Gastrointestinal Diseases, Cross-sectional Study
Liver CirrhosesChronic Pancreatitis1 moreMalnutrition and muscle wasting are common consequences of life-threatening, chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Such diseases include liver cirrhosis, chronic pancreatitis and short bowel syndrome. Malnutrition and muscle wasting increase the risk of complications, reduce the life expectancy and impair the quality of life. The development of malnutrition and muscle wasting is different, as is the diagnosis and nutritional treatment. There are also different mechanisms of origin for the underlying diseases. The aim of the study is to compare data related to nutrition and physical condition of patients with liver cirrhosis, chronic pancreatitis and short bowel syndrome. Malnutrition and muscle wasting within the specific diseases will be characterized and possible correlations will be identified. For this, malnourished and non-malnourished patients of the different diseases are compared with controls patients with non-specific complaints of the gastrointestinal tract as well as with healthy study participants. Data on food intake, physical activity, body composition and body measurements as well as muscle strength and muscle function are recorded. Blood values as well as transport and barrier properties of the intestine will also be examined.
The Cholelithiasis in Adults With Short Bowel Syndrome
Short Bowel SyndromeShort-term studies have shown that patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) often develop cholestasis or cholelithiasis. In this retrospective cohort study, we aimed to define the incidence, risk factors, and clinical consequences of cholelithiasis in adults with SBS over an extended time period.
Retrospective Study on Participants With Short Bowel Syndrome and Chronic Intestinal Failure That...
Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS)The main aim of this study is to capture management and treatment outcome data in participants with short bowel syndrome and chronic intestinal failure (SBS-IF) that underwent intestinal transplantation in Brazil. This study is about collecting data available in the participant's medical record and will also describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of these participants. No medication will be provided to participants in this study. Clinical data will be collected from a period up to 10 years before the day of the intestinal transplantation. No clinic visits will be required as part of participation in this study.
Bridging Intestinal Failure With Teduglutide - a Case Report
Short Bowel SyndromeIn this case report the investigators present a novel strategy for using teduglutide as a bridging therapy to intestinal reconstruction.
Plasma Oxalate in Patient With Short Bowel
Short Bowel SyndromeHyperoxaluria1 moreHyperoxaluria due to fat malabsorption is seen in patients suffering from short bowel and can lead to stones and nephrocalcinosis. Not all patients are prone to these renal complications. only urinary oxaluria is measured in practice. Plasma oxalate shouldn't increase theoretically in these patients. However recent report showed an increase of plasma oxalate in patient with enteric hyperoxaluria. The aim of this study is to assess the plasma oxalate distribution in this specific population to have a new tool to predict renal complication of these patients.
Infant & Toddler Short Gut Feeding Outcomes Study
Short Bowel SyndromeIntestinal Failure1 moreThe purpose of this study is to better understand why children with short gut develop feeding problems.
Prescription Pattern of Adjuvant Drugs and Vitamins in Patients Undergoing Long-term Home Nutritional...
Intestinal InsufficiencyShort Bowel SyndromeIntestinal insufficiency due to short bowel syndrome is a chronic, disabling condition with significant morbidity and mortality.Standard care includes home parenteral/enteral nutrition as well as intestinal transplantation, however multiple drugs, vitamins, antibiotics and symptom-relieving agents may be required. Prescriptional pattern of these drugs will be analyzed in a clinical cohort.
