Artificial Intelligence-Guided Detection of Blood Vessels to Enhance Safety in Third-Space Endoscopic Procedures
This prospective study aims to evaluate the performance of a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI) clinical decision support tool during third space endoscopic procedures, such as Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) and Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM). While these procedures are effective for treating gastrointestinal neoplasms and motility disorders, they carry risks of …
Standard Versus Oesophago-gastric Junction Complex Myotomy for Treatment naïve Type 2 Achalasia Patients
Consecutive eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to esophagogastric complex only myotomy or standard myotomy groups. Randomization is done according to the computer-generated algorithm. A clinical research coordinator will prepare the sealed randomization envelops and will hand over to the operating endoscopists before the beginning of the …
Effect of Botulinum Toxin Injection Guided by Ultrasound Combined With Balloon Localization on Cricopharyngeal Achalasia
cricopharyngeal achalasia refers to incomplete or non-open functional opening of the cricopharyngeal muscle, and after repeated swallowing of food, it still cannot pass through the cricopharyngeal muscle, remaining in the epiglottic valley and the piriform fossa, and even regurgitated into the nasal cavity . Neurogenic diseases, myogenic diseases and head …
The Effect of Physiotherapy on Post POEM Reflux
Per-oral endoscopic myotomy has been used as a treatment method of esophageal achalasia. Patients who undergo POEM as a treatment of achalasia are often presented with development of reflux as a side effect of the surgery. Patients are then in need to use proton pump inhibitor drugs as a long …
Effectiveness of Methods for Pyloric Drainage in esophagecTomY: Botox vs. Pyloromyotomy
The goal of this pragmatic, registry-based, randomized clinical trial is to find out if using botulinum toxin (Botox) to help drain the stomach during an esophagectomy works as well as a pyloromyotomy in patients undergoing elective esophagectomy for benign or malignant esophageal disease. Both methods are intended to prevent problems …
Prospective Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders
This is prospective data recording study. All patients will receive standard medical care and no experimental interventions will be performed.
Esophageal Cancer Risk Registry
The purpose of this study is to identify markers in the blood and tissue that could indicate risk factors for the development and progression of esophagus cancer. This research aims to collect medical history, blood, and tissue samples from patients who present with an esophageal disorder. Identifying genetic and behavioral …
Rare Disease Patient Registry & Natural History Study - Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford
CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures …
Risk Factors for Sub Mucosal Fibrosis During Achalasia Cardia: A Prospective Study
Classification for Stasis Esophagitis: Grade I Grade II Grade III Vascular pattern Obscured Obscured Obscured Mucosal thickening No Yes Yes Ulceration No Yes Yes Nodularity No No Yes
Autonomic Dysfunction and Hemodynamic Instability During Per-oral Endoscopic Myotomy
This prospective observational study aims to investigate the association between the autonomic dysfunction and hemodynamic instability during per-oral endoscopic myotomy under general anesthesia in achalasia patients. Per-oral endoscopic myotomy is known as the effective treatment for achalasia patients. During per-oral endoscopic myotomy, capnoperitoneum, capnomediastinum, and systemic CO2 accumulation can potentially …
