Operative Versus Non-Operative Management for Appendicitis With Abscess or Phlegmon
The investigators aim to determine if early operative intervention is superior to non-operative management for adult patients with computerized tomography (CT)-proven complicated appendicitis with phlegmon or abscess.
Results of Laparoscopic Appendectomy With Application of Clips Versus Ligature for Stump Closure
This a prospective study to compare between clipping and ligation of appendicular stump in laparoscopic appendectomies regarding ;technical feasibility , post operative complications as fecal fistula and economic consideration.
Complex and Simple Appendicitis: REstrictive or Liberal Post-operative Antibiotic eXposure (CASA RELAX)
This prospective trial will randomize patients who have had an appendectomy to two different durations of antibiotic therapy depending on the status of the appendicitis. For simple appendicitis, patients will be randomized to peri-operative antibiotics or 24 hours duration. For complex appendicitis, patients will be randomized to 24 hours or …
Treatment of Radiation and Cisplatin Induced Toxicities With Tempol
A 10 week trial to assess the ability of Tempol to prevent and/or reduce toxicities associated with cisplatin and radiation treatment in head and neck cancer patients. Over the course of the 10 week trial, mucositis, nephrotoxicity, and ototoxicity will be monitored and assessed.
Metformin as Added on Therapy in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that is marked by increased intestinal motility and bloody diarrhea. The clinical value of existing therapeutic strategies of UC, including glucocorticoids, anti-tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), mesalamine, and thiopurines is still limited. Therefore, the discovery of new therapeutic approaches is essential …
Effect of Mediterranean Diet in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
The effects of diet on inflammatory bowel disease is an under-studied area of research. The investigators are interested in further investigating the role that diet contributes to inflammatory bowel disease severity. The investigators will collect blood and stool samples from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) before and after diet …
A Randomized Crossover Trial of Bright Light Therapy in Crohn's Disease on Intestinal Barrier Homeostasis
Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are two of the most significant chronic conditions of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and affects over 1.5 million individuals in the U.S. Recently, there has been an increased understanding of the importance of sleep and sleep …
Fenofibrate in Ulcerative Colitis
Fibrates, which are specific pharmacological agonists of PPARα, have been widely used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Apart from their metabolic action, anti-inflammatory properties of fibrates have been described, including inhibition of NF-kappa B signaling and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. 4 Fenofibrate, an important peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-a (PPAR- α) …
Activation of Autophagy and Suppression of Apoptosis by Dapagliflozin Attenuates Inflammatory Bowel Disease
The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are described as complex, recurrent inflammatory conditions which are manifested as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The common symptoms of IBD include debilitating/severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and chronic fatigue; events that may culminate in life-threatening complications. The pathogenesis of IBD has …
Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors, Pentoxifylline, as Adjunctive Therapy in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by diffused inflammation of the colon and rectum mucosa; however, the exact underlying mechanisms of UC remain poorly understood. Also, it is associated with high risk of colon cancer, so there is a continuous need for introducing new therapies that …
