To test the hypothesis that salivary pepsin is able to predict outcome of treatment in GERD suspected infants.
To identify the most effective and safe long-term S. aureus carriage decolonization strategy in HPN patients. Ultimately this willlead to less antimicrobial resistance, less catheter removals and lower mortality rates. Also, other chronic…
Main questions:1. What is the success rate of antireflux surgery in children (reflux control) measured by means of validated and standardised investigation techniques?2. What is the effect of antireflux surgery on gastro-esophageal motility/function…
Primary Objective: To assess the impact of RYGB on gallbladder function (during a follow-up interval of 1 year). We will assess the fasting volume, the ejection fraction and the residual volume of the gallbladder. In addition, we will compare serum…
Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine normal-values for esophageal pressure characteristics using a water-perfused high-resolution manometry catheter. Furthermore, we aim to compare pres
Identification of the underlying genes of MMIHS
The aim of this project is to study the effect of nicotine gum chewing in the prevention or reduction of POI and reduction of opioid use on patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery, and evaluate its safety and possible adverse effects.
Primary: To investigate if there is a correlation between findings of transabdominal ultrasound measurement of the rectum and rectal digital examination. Secondary: To investigate if there is a correlation between an enlarged rectum (diameter &…
The main objective of this study is to obtain normal values for high-resolution manometry. The second objective is to investigate the inter- and intra-individual variability of the measured parameters.
- better understanding of postoperative ileus pathofysiology. Besides it become possible to estimate the severity of ileus, and development of ileus by clinical and biochemical parameters.- achieve a database like a control group for future studies…
Aim of the present study is to assess normal values of EGJ distensibility in healthy volunteers.
The objective of this research is to see if this way of treating a patient ensures a quicker diagnosis, which results in lessabdominal pain for the patient.
The primary objective of this study is to to relate bio-impedance findings with microscopically measured intercellular spaces inoesophageal epithelium.
The aim of this study is to determine whether differences in rate of TLESRs, acid reflux associated TLESRs and EGJ distensibility can provide an explanation for different responses to anti-reflux surgery by comparing long term reflux mechanisms in…
Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine whether differences in EGJ distensibility lead to different rates of esophageal reflux by comparing EGJ distensibility with esophageal reflux characteristics, esophageal pressure characteristics and…
We aim to investigate the reflux characteristics in patients with LPR and healthy controls using pH/impedance measurements. A second analysis will be to compare total number of proximal reflux events in PPI responders and non-responders.
The aim of the study is to compare magnesiumhydroxide and polyethylene glycol/electrolytes with regard to the prevention of constipation and side-effects in palliative care cancer patients starting with opioids.
The aim of this study is to assess the compliance of the EGJ in patients with achalasia and to compare this to LES pressure and the dysphagia score. We hypothesize that compliance measurement of the EGJ by endoflip in achalasia can warrant us extra…
To objective the frequency and the severity of gastrointestinal dysfunction in Myotonic Dystrophy type 2 patients.
The aim of this study is to measure and describe differences in manometric and impedance patterns in patients with an initial presentation of regurgitation and/or vomiting with and without clinical diagnosis of rumination syndrome. With these…
