De objective of this study is to analyse the effect of exercise on the levels of Ara h6 in the blood after peanut consumption. Next to this we would like to know whether these levels found are in associated with the measure of intestinal…
Primary Objective: to show the differences in distribution of microbial DNA proximal versus distal in the colon as well as luminal composition versus mucosa adherent. Secondary Objective: to test whether bowel lavage has influence on the microbial…
What is the prevalence of gastro-intestinal disorders and which are the determinants?
Identification of baseline functional capacity of patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer.
To investigate patients' preoperative physical fitness, deconditioning due to hospitalisation with patients undergoing colorectal surgery for colorectal cancer. This study will serve as a control group for the prehabilitation study which will…
The primary objective of the study is to compare gut permeability in metabolic healthier and metabolic unhealthier subjects by performing a MS permeability test. The secondary objectives are to study the correlation between gut permeability assessed…
(1) To compare adenoma miss rates (AMR) between Endocuff Vision-assisted colonoscopy (EAC) and conventionalcolonoscopy (CC)(2) To compare adenoma detection rates (ADR) between EAC and CC(3) To assess whether a proposed increased ADR and reduced AMR…
main objective: Investigate the prevalence of liver fibrosis according to TE values in children enrolled in a HPN-program. Secondary objectives: Investigate the correlation between TE values and ELF test score and APRI in children enrolled in a HPN-…
Determine the technical success, diagnostic accuracy, safety and quality of procedure (evaluated by the endoscopist) of the E.G.Scan* compared to conventional upper endoscopy in patients referred for diagnostic upper endoscopy.
To compare the additional diagnostic yield obtained by using the PeerScope System* extended view vs. the diagnostic yield obtained by the Standard view colonoscopy.In addition, time measurements including time to cecum, time for withdrawal and…
Primary Objective is to compare the effect of different exercise protocols on intestinal permeability and on plasma levels of glutamine and glutamine-derived amino acids, in healthy young men. A Secondary Objective is to assess the effect of…
Evaluation of I-FABP as diagnostic tool in mesenteric ischemia.
The main goal of this study is to test feasibility of the present commmercially available laparoscopic fluorescence imaging system during laparoscopic colorectal surgery for intraoperative identification of the ureter.
A close correlation has been demonstrated between iron absorption and the capacity of gastric juice to release food iron. At high levels of gastric pH (>3,6), negligible amounts of non-haem iron would be released from dietary components and…
Determine the diagnostic accuracy of the E.G.Scan 2.0* compared to conventional upper endoscopy in patients referred for diagnostic upper endoscopy to evaluate esophageal disorders.
The aim of this study is to determine the immediate effects of oral alcohol consumption in healthy volunteers on gut wall integrity as measured by Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein (I-FABP) and Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein (LBP) These…
In this study the effect of the pneumoperitoneum on the intestine of children is objectified by measuring the iFABP levels in the urine, as an indicator for the ischemia or damage to the intestine. To exclude any iFABP increase due to intestinal…
The objective of this study is to determine if children with FAP demonstrate subliminal and supraliminal attentional biases to assumed activity of the abdomen compared to healthy children and if children with FAP interpret the assumed activity as…
Primary objective: to investigate the possible role of FABP/Claudin levels as a diagnostic marker for significant intra-abdominal injury (necessitating therapeutical intervention).Secondary objective: to establish the use of plasma levels of I-FABP/…
To assess the relationship between postprandial symptoms and gastric emptying rate. The caloric intake and caloric gastric emptying rate in the pathogenesis of postprandial symptoms after sleeve gastrectomy will also be taken into account
Intestinal Permeability during Respiratory insufficiency in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD
The primary objective of the present study is to investigate if the intestinal permeability is increased in patients with an acute COPD exacerbation. To investigate this objective, the following research question have been formulated:- Is intestinal…
