Patient Derived Organoids (PDOs) to Observe the Clinical Consistency of Personalized Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Study Title: Observing Clinical Consistency of Personalized Neoadjuvant Therapy Using Patient-Derived Organoid Models (PDO) in Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Goal This study aims to explore whether patient-derived organoid models (PDO)-miniature tumors grown from patients' tissue samples-can accurately predict how individuals respond to personalized pre-surgery treatments (neoadjuvant therapy) for esophageal …
Fecal Calprotectin for Prediction of Esophageal Varices in Cirrhotic Patients
The goal of this cross-sectional observational study is to evaluate the accuracy of fecal calprotectin versus non-invasive scores in assessing the presence and grading of esophageal varices in Egyptian patients. Researchers will compare fecal calprotectin levels in cirrhotic patients with and without esophageal varices (EVs) and healthy subjects. researchers will …
Oral and Swallowing Function in Older Adults
The purpose of this study is to learn about oral and swallowing function in older adults presenting to the emergency department. The hypothesis is that older adults often have problems with oral and swallowing function and these problems relate to other conditions. Study activities are done during the emergency department …
Oesophagectomy and Chest Wall and Respiratory Function
Open surgery for esophageal cancer commonly involves large incisions in the chest, associated with a high rate of pulmonary complications (30-50%). Minimally invasive approach through keyhole surgery has been shown to reduce pulmonary infections by 20%. Enhanced recovery programmes are evidence-based protocols, developed to achieve early recovery after surgery with …
Barrett's Esophagitis in Anorexia Nervosa Binge/Purge Subtype
To better define the presence of Barrett's esophagus (BE) via non-endoscopic testing in an eating disorder cohort with purging (vomiting/rumination) behaviors
Registry for Esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
The purpose of this registry study is to create a database-a collection of information-for better understanding standard treatments for esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer/GEJ cancer. Researchers will use the information from this database to learn more about the effectiveness of different treatment options.
Symptoms, Pulmonary Function, Muscle Strength, Exercise Capacity, and Frailty in Esophageal Atresia vs. Healthy Peers
Esophageal atresia is the most common congenital anomaly of the esophagus and is caused by abnormal development of the esophagus during intrauterine life. In children with esophageal atresia, structural abnormalities due to congenital anomalies and tracheoesophageal fistula, tracheomalacia, respiratory problems, recurrent respiratory tract infections, structural abnormalities, surgical interventions for repair …
Barrett's Esophagus Related Neoplasia (BERN) Project
The use of high resolution endoscopy (HRE), narrow band imaging (NBI) and chromoendoscopy increases the detection rates of Barrett's esophagus (BE) and early neoplasia. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) will improve the accuracy for detection of dysplasia/early neoplasia. Specific Aim 1 - To create a video-atlas of non-dysplastic and dysplastic/early neoplastic …
Endoscopic Vacuum Therapy for Transmural Defects in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the best indications and techniques regarding endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) in patients with a transmural defect in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract (e.g. anastomotic leakage, Boerhaave syndrome, iatrogenic perforation, other). The main questions it aims to answer are: What is …
Predicting Early Tumor Recurrence in Patients With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The prognosis of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who develop post-operative early tumor recurrence is often relatively poor. Therefore, biomarker that can detect micro metastases before the start of treatment is required. Epigenomic alterations such as DNA methylation have attracted attention as promising biomarkers. The investigators aim to …
