Summary: Achalasia is a neuro-degenerative disorder marked by changes in the peristalsis of the esophagus and the lack of relaxation in the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), thought to be due to damage to the myenteric plexus with an unknown cause.1 Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an established endoscopic treatment modality for achalasia. Leading gastrointestinal (GI) societies endorse POEM as one o...

Summary: Researchers are trying to identify predictors for gastroesophageal reflux disease after sleeve gastrectomy.

Summary: The goal of this observational study is to explore whether a Raman-based, deep learning-assisted approach can be used to develop an effective method for early pan-cancer screening. The study includes healthy individuals, patients at risk of cancer, and patients with diagnosed cancers. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Evaluating the deep-learning model's accuracy and specificity in ident...

Summary: This is a prospective study using a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open label, and efficacy validated approach.At present, there is no universally recognized optimal method for gastrointestinal reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy in the surgical treatment of gastric cancer.Author's team has proposed an innovative method named Hao's Esophagogastrostomay by Fisture Technique (HEFT).By ad...

Summary: A prospective, multi-center, noninferiority randomized controlled trial designed to compare the efficacy of UI-EWD (Nexpowder™) hemostatic powder versus conventional endoscopic hemostatic therapy in patients presenting with acute overt gastrointestinal bleeding which is found at endoscopy to be due to a gastric or duodenal ulcer with active bleeding (spurting or oozing) or a non-bleeding visible v...

Summary: The objective of the study is to investigate the treatment of marginal ulcers with Low Thermal plasma in an endoscopic setting. By a treatment of the ulcerated areas with argon plasma with low power settings (\ 1 W) we hypothesize that the size of the ulcers will shrink, and the healing is accelerated compared to standard of care alone. Patients will benefit from this minimally invasive approach c...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if dietary changes can help improve gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer whether the Gracie Diet is an option to treat GERD symptoms in individuals wish to discontinue standard doses of PPI and / or H2 receptor antagonists. Participants will be taken off PPI and be placed on the Gracie Diet for 8 weeks...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to identify the most effective way to take acid-blocking medications to treat stomach ulcers in patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * is taking an acid-blocking medication by opening the capsule and only taking the contents of the capsule (open-capsule) more or less effective than taking the capsule as a w...

Summary: The aims of this study are to create a prospective data base to evaluate the long term outcomes of medical and surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); to measure standard outcomes as well as patient derived outcomes such as general and disease specific quality of life (QOL) issues and patient satisfaction; to refine the parameters that may identify patients who will benefit f...

Summary: MTX228 has been identified as a medication that might allow the re-growth of insulin producing beta cells in people with Type 1 Diabetes. Promoting the re-growth of lost beta cells would be beneficial to people with Type 1 Diabetes because it would allow them to take less insulin by injection and would improve their overall blood sugar control while reducing the risk and rate of low blood sugars. ...

Summary: There are Billroth-I, Billroth-II, Billroth-II with Braun, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction after distal gastrectomy. Hypothesis: Billroth-II modified method is non-inferior to Roux-en-Y method in terms of reducing reflux esophagitis after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients.

Objective: To measure postoperative pain control in patients in two treatment arms of ORIF of the clavicle: a treatment group given a nonopioid pain control regimen, and a standard of care control group given standard opioid pain control regimen. Study
