Likely the most distressing symptom of advanced cancer in the oesophagus is dysphagia, which is the inability to swallow solids and …
A Study of Breath Testing for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
Researchers hope to determine how often small intestinal bacterial overgrowth occurs after taking proton pump inhibitors.
Famotidine and Antacids for Treatment of Dyspepsia
The aim of this study is to compare intravenous famotidine, an H2 receptor antagonist, and Maalox/ Mylanta, an oral antacid, in treatment of dyspepsia in the emergency department. The goal of this study is to reduce patients' pain based on the verbal numerical pain scale. The anticipated outcome is for …
High Resolution Manometry After Partial Fundoplication for Gastro-oesophageal Reflux
This is a combined retro- and prospective, monocentric study. All patients who underwent or are planned for laparoscopic partial fundoplication (180° anterior or 270° posterior) between 2020-2023 are assessed for preoperative ineffective esophageal motility (IEM). The main hypothesis is, that preoperative oesophageal motility disorders, especially hypo-contractility or failed peristalsis, are …
Crural Repair During Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Patients With a Lax Gastroesophageal Junction
Background Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the commonest bariatric procedures. However, it is associated with postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis (EE). The investigators' preliminary study suggests that the incidence of postoperative GERD and EE appears to be correlated with the preoperative presence of a lax …
GCC Agonist Signal in the Small Intestine
This early phase I trial studies the guanylyl cyclase C (GCC) agonist effect on cGMP signal in duodenal tissue. Plecanatide and linaclotide are drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of conditions related to constipation. This trial aims to see the effects of taking either one …
