Surgical Prevention of Anastomotic Recurrence by Excluding Mesentery in Crohn's Disease
Kono and collegues have described a new anastomotic technique to restore bowel contintuity after ileocecal resection for Crohn's disease (CD). This tecnique implies a hand-sewn ileocolic anastomosis, that involves exclusively the antimesenteric side of the bowel and that functionally acts as an end-to-end anastomosis. In a retrospective study, the authors have shown that this anastomotic tecnique, when compared to stapled side-to-side anastomosis, significantly reduces the severity of endoscopic recurrence at 1 year after surgery and the rate of reoperation for anastomotic recurrence at 5 years after surgery. Aim of this trial is...

Surveillance in Ulcerative Colitis: Narrow Band Image Versus Chromoendoscopy for High-risk Groups
The risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increased in patients having ulcerative colitis (UC). Patients with long-standing extensive colitis, concomitant primary sclerosing cholangitis, or previous history of dysplasia carry an exceptionally high risk of CRC and require regular and short-interval surveillance colonoscopy. Recent guidelines recommend surveillance colonoscopy based on target biopsy rather than random biopsy applying chromoendoscopy (CE) or narrow band image (NBI) technique in UC at risk for CRC. However, the diagnostic yield of NBI-based surveillance and CE-based surveillance is not extensively investigated in the high-risk UC ...

Syndecan 1 as Biomarker for Inflammation
The aim of the study is to evaluate the soluble biomarker syndecan-1 (sSdc1) taken from venous blood of patients with infectious intestinal diseases such as Clostridium difficile-associated colitis, bacterial colitis, Norovirus enteritis and Crohn´s disease or ulcerative colitis. The level of sSdc1 will be compared with disease activity in patients with active inflammation and with disease in remission. Secondary objectives were the assessment of correlation of the above-mentioned factors with the CRP value. Subjects will be volunteers. Blood will be taken as part of the routine clinical work-up after the written agreement blood and...

TAK-018 for Prevention of the Recurrence of Postoperative Crohn's Disease (CD)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of TAK-018 in reducing endoscopic recurrence of intestinal inflammation in postoperative participants with CD after a planned laparoscopic ileocecal resection with primary anastomosis.

TAMIS-IPAA vs. Lap-IPAA for Ulcerative Colitiis
The objective of this RCT is to compare the postoperative outcome of transanal versus transabdominal minimally invasive proctectomy with ileal pouch-annal anastomosis in patients with ulcerative colitis.

"Tasty&Healthy" Dietary Approach for Crohn's Disease
Despite the advent of multiple novel medications, many patients with Crohn's disease (CD) fail to achieve mucosal healing (MH). Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) has been shown to induce clinical remission accompanied by MH in many of CD patients. The aim of this proposal is to explore the effectiveness of the "Tasty&Healthy" dietary approach based on avoiding "pro-inflammatory" and processed ingredients, for inducing and maintaining remission and MH in children and young adults. This approach is based on the previously published charity cook-book "Tasty&Healthy" and might be more feasible than currently available nutritional treatments in...

Thalidomide Versus Infliximab in New Onset Crohn's Disease With Poor Prognostic Factors
Crohn's disease (CD) is a life-long inflammatory bowel disease disease with an unknown pathogenesis. The ultimate goal of therapy is to modify the natural history of CD thus reducing complications. Thalidomide is a small molecule with immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenetic properties. It is currently approved for the treatment of erythema nodosum leprosum, an immunological complication of leprosy and multiple myeloma. It has also been used in several other inflammatory diseases of the skin and of the mucosal membranes, such as Behcet disease, oropharyngeal ulcers in AIDS, cutaneous lupus, and graft versus host disease. Many case series and...

The ADDapt Diet in Reducing Crohn's Disease Inflammation
Crohn's disease (CD) results in chronic intestinal inflammation, is of increasing incidence both in the developed and developing world and has a marked impact on patient quality of life. The prevalence of CD is 10.6 per 100,000 people in the UK and represents a significant annual financial burden of around €16.7 million in Europe. A wide range of nutrients and food components have been investigated for their role in the pathogenesis and course of CD. A common theme suggests that CD risk is associated with a "Western diet", including high fat, high sugar and processed foods. However, intervention studies that exclude specific aspects of the...
