Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Celiac Plexus Neurolysis (EUS-CPN) for Chronic Pancreatitis
Physicians need a tracking system for specific treatment modalities, and data to determine the impact of endoscopic ultrasound pain management for patients with chronic pancreatitis.

EUS-guided Celiac Plexus Neurolysis for the Treatment of Abdominal Pain in Pancreatic Cancer
Studies have shown that injecting local anesthetics in areas rich in blood vessels increases the risk of drug injection into blood vessels by mistake and increases the systemic absorption of drugs, which may increase the incidence of central nervous system and cardiovascular system toxic events caused by local anesthetics.EUS-CPN-related complications have not been clearly associated with local anesthetic adverse events.However, EUS-CPN local anesthetic injection area is located around the beginning of the abdominal trunk with abundant large and small blood vessels. The choice of local anesthetics with higher safety than bupivacaine,...

Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Gut Permeability Assessment
This research aims to develop portable devices - known as fluorescence spectrometers - to monitor the leakage of fluorescent dyes out of the gut into the blood stream. These devices will measure the leakiness (permeability) of the gut in a non-invasive manner and will provide an early warning that patients are at risk of infections caused by the unwanted flow of bacteria from the intestine to the rest of the body.

General Population Level Estimation for Type 1 Diabetes Risk in Children 0-5 Years Old During Routine Care Delivery
Most children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) do not have a family member with diabetes and often are not diagnosed until the child is very sick. Research suggests that screening and identifying children at risk for T1D autoantibodies can prevent serious illness at the time of diagnosis and improve long-term health outcomes. The investigators will screen children, ages 0-5.99 for blood markers related to T1D and celiac disease during routine healthcare delivery at birth, 1, 2 and 5, years of age. Children found to have these markers will be either be referred to clinical care or offered participation in other monitoring or prevention...

Genomic Resources for Enhancing Available Therapies (GREAT1.0) Study
This is a prospective, descriptive, observational research study designed to observe and document the clinical practice by domain experts, and how the knowledge of new findings that are published in the medical literature affect clinical decision making. The study will evaluate risk factors and co-variants, including genetic variants that are associated with disease progression such as pain, inflammation, organ dysfunction, disability and quality of life.

Gluten Challenge in Celiac Disease
Up till 30 participants with celiac disease on a glutenfree diet are asked to consume gluten containing cookies or bread for 3 days. Questionnaires and sampling of blood is done before, during and after.

Gluten Challenge Study in Celiac Disease Participants (MK-0000-402)
This is a gluten challenge study to characterize peripheral blood and intestinal gluten specific cluster of differentiation 4 glycoprotein (CD4+) thymus lymphocyte (T cell) subsets in participants with Celiac Disease

Gluten Free Diet in IBS
Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) often benefit from dietary changes. The effect of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on clinical symptom improvement and psychological well-being will be checked in patients with IBS. In addition, the stimulatory potential of gluten on peripheral blood monocytes will be determined. Responders will be provoked with gluten containing bars or placebo bars to confirm the diagnosis of non-celiac glutensenstitivity.

Gluten Reduction and Risk of Celiac Disease
Celiac disease shares many features of other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes. Recently, it was published that higher amounts of gluten intake increased the risk for celiac disease. Optimal amounts of gluten to be introduced during weaning have not yet been established. The aim is to investigate if a gluten-restricted diet (e.g. below 3 gram per day) will reduce the risk of develop CDA and IA in genetically predisposed children by the age of 5 years. Children who screened positive for HLA DQ2/X (X is neither DQ2 nor DQ8) in the GPPAD-02 (ASTR1D [ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03316261]) screening will be contacted by a...

Gynaecological Disorders in Not-celiac Wheat Sensitivity
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 sensitivity (NCGS), although in a recent article, the investigators suggested the term "non-celiac wheat sensitivity" (NCWS), because it is not known to date what component of wheat actually causes the symptoms. The clinical picture of NCWS is characterized by combined gastrointestinal (bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and/or ...
