Background and hypothesis:
Our preclinical evidence shows that phospholipid-rich milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced increases in gut permeability and pro-inflammatory cytokines. MFGM also attenuates inflammation in association with a prebiotic and/or antimicrobial
Abdominal bloating, gas, belching, distension, and diarrhea are common gastrointestinal symptoms that are reported by at least 1/3rd of patients presenting to gastroenterology clinics. When routine endoscopic and radiological tests are negative1, most of these patients are labeled as irritable bowel
A randomized, double-blind cross-over exercise trial was conducted with 14 runners on Utah State University campus. This population of 14 runners was selected from a larger population of 20 that was recruited to complete two initial trials. In two preliminary visits, the parameters necessary for
In the last few years, a new clinical entity has emerged which includes patients who consider themselves to be suffering from problems caused by wheat and/or gluten ingestion, even though they do not have celiac disease (CD) or wheat allergy. This clinical condition has been named non-celiac gluten
- Familiarisation screening visit - (Visit 1) Before participating in the study, all participants will visit the exercise laboratory for a familiarisation and screening visit where they will be shown the designated experimental area, provide written informed consent and have various measurements
This project will test the effectiveness of an integrative medicine approach in treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Over the course of 18 months, we will recruit 85 participants with IBS in New York City. These participants will be randomized to either a 4-week group-oriented treatment
Admission to hospital with complicated severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in Africa commonly has a case fatality of 10-30%. Importantly, children are usually admitted to hospital because they are severely ill rather than for malnutrition alone. Mortality may be improved to some extent by adherence to
Severe alcoholic hepatitis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
Diagnosis: The diagnosis of (AH) is made by the following criteria11
I.Chronic active alcohol abuse - > 80 grams in males and > 20 grams in females. II. Duration of jaundice < 3 months III. Serum Bilirubin >5 mg/dl
In this study we will compare colonic fermentation and parameters of gut health (fecal water cytotoxicity) between patients who are lactose intolerant, patients who have lactose malabsorption and healthy subjects.
lactose hydrogen breath test (LHBT) will be performed at base line and at each visit (total of 7 breath samples from each patient). All subjects will be presented for the lactose hydrogen breath test after 8 hours fast.
At the initial stage, the subjects will take a base reading at time 0.
Subjects
Study #1: Questionnaire study in general Chinese population (n=2000).
Study #2: Physiologic study in patients attending gastroenterology clinic (n=600) including in subgroups assessment of genetic factors,tolerance to lactose challenge and assessment of visceral sensitivity.
Study #3: Assessment of
The number of people aged 65 years and over is expected to rise by over 60% in the next 25 years, which presents an enormous challenge for the healthcare system. Ageing dramatically affects immune function; this phenomenon is known as immunosenescence and partly explains the increased susceptibility
In Italy, Professor Nicola Scopinaro, after studies in dogs, performed the first BPD in humans in 1976. Because of the lack of blind-loop syndrome and selective malabsorption for starch and fat, the BPD has an accepted risk-benefit ratio compared to the long ago abandoned Jejunoileal Bypass (a
The concept of Colonic Adaptation(CA) to regular carbohydrates has been linked mainly to lactose disaccharide(galactose,glucose) and lactulose(galactose, fructose), a manufactured derivative of lactose. CA is achieved in both cases by short term regular consumption of the targeted sugar which is not
