Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

An accurate assessment of disease activity is crucial for the treatment of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Recent studies have reported that the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) correlates well with Mayo score. A recent report demonstrated that SCCAI has a significant correlation with the degree of health-related quality of life in UC patients. It is also reported that the self-administered SCCAI through the web-based input tool at home is highly correlated with the SCCAI assessed by physician. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-administered web-based SCCAI and the health-related quality of life of UC patients.

Diet is known to play role in the complex etiology of UC.Patient with UC tend to adapt unguided dietary habits without the guidance of a dietician or physician (Dejong,M.J 2019).so identification of nutritional gaps is needed to facilitate the development of evidence-based dietary guideline and subsequently give correct dietary advice to UC patients(Haskkey,N et al 2017).

The aim:1) To test the correlation of pCLE-obtained features with histological findings in UC; comparing the real-time conventional colonoscopy Baron score with CLE assessment. 2) To test the accuracy of the investigators previously proposed simplified four-grade classification system of crypt architecture in evaluating inflammation activity in UC by pCLE.

This is a retrospective observational study to investigate the short-term surgical outcomes, and long-term oncological outcomes of patients diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis and rectal cancer.

the study aims at examining the relation between the prevalence and risk factors of pressure ulcers among hospitalized patients in Beni Suef governorate of Egypt

We analyzed the diversity of the fungal and bacterial within colon mucosa between patients with different degree of inflammation of Ulcerative Colitis.

The researchers will investigate gut microbiome in Korean patients with ulcerative colitis and normal control subjects using metagenomic analysis to elucidate the significant difference between two groups This study will help to understand the association between gut microbiome and inflammatory bowel disease.

The purpose of this study is to describe gastrointestinal (GI) motility in patients suffering from severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and to compare these results with similar results from a study on healthy subjects. Both studies are done with the use of Motilis 3D-Transit system which consists of a small electronic capsule ingested and detected by a receiver carried by the patient. Position and orientation of the capsule are interpreted by dedicated computer software and transit times, progression velocity and contraction frequencies can be revealed. The study is mainly descriptive and is designed to test and evaluate the usefulness of the Motilis 3D Transit system in UC patients and to tell us more about GI motility during severe inflammation. Motilis 3D-Transit system gives us a unique chance to study the gastrointestinal canal as a whole during severe illness. We expect to include 20 patients suffering from severe UC admitted to Hospital with the purpose of getting medical treatment. We do not expect any drop out, but in case of drop out a new patient will be included.

Graves disease in ulcerative colitis: The connection between Graves disease and Inflammatory bowel disease is well known in the literature, but thyroid disorders have not been considered extra-intestinal manifestations of ulcerative colitis. In most cases, the diagnosis of thyroid disease has preceded that of Inflammatory bowel disease. Early studies have suggested a relationship between thyroid abnormalities and ulcerative colitis . But it is still uncertain whether the coexistence of Grave's and ulcerative colitis diseases is due to a specific reason or a coincidence.
