Gastro-Intestinal Disorder
The purpose of the study is to determine if the myoelectrical measurements made by the G-Tech Wireless Patch System correlate with clinical markers of postoperative recovery such as passage of flatus/bowel movement, oral tolerance of diet and discharge readiness. Subsequently the data will be studied to establish which information in the signals is important in determining when to feed patients and possibly discharge them. These pilot prospective, open clinical studies suggests that myoelectrical activity, measured on the abdominal surface with a noninvasive wireless patch system, carries predictive value in determining time to feeding and time to flatus following open abdominal surgery. Having such information in advance of clinical measures could facilitate timely interventions, be it early feeding or delaying feeding as dictated by the patient's unique recovery profile. The G-Tech Wireless Patch System would provide a unique insight into the process allowing for a tailored protocol that could improve patient satisfaction and optimize recovery. The system could also enable feedback on the impact to the overall gastrointestinal myoelectrical activity of medications, particularly opioids, used for pain management that are known to inhibit gastrointestinal function by disrupting the normal recovery patterns of colonic motility.23-25 While it remains to be seen, in addition to predicting time to flatus/bowel movement early on, the ability to continue monitoring the patient may allow one to predict onset of secondary complications, such as wound infections or anastomotic leaks, that are associated with ileus. Similarly, given the wireless noninvasive nature of the system the patients could be discharged home with the patches, whereby they would serve as a remote monitoring tool. This could be particularly useful in cases where the patients may have been discharged early and may be at a high risk for readmission. The system would then send updates/alerts to the care team for management and potentially avoid preventable readmissions.
Gastrointestinal Diseases, Ileus Paralytic, Ileus
The purpose of this study is to establish the working protocols for a general biorepository with the specific aim of procuring tissues and bodily fluids from the human gastrointestinal tract from a diverse range of clinical patients at the UC Davis Medical Center.

Gastro-Intestinal Disorder
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a dietary supplement (greens powder), on improving digestive health, quality of life, energy levels, and satiety over a 14-day period. Participants, aged 18-65 and experiencing mild digestive issues, will consume the greens powder daily and report outcomes through diaries and questionnaires.
Digestive System Disease
This study will be a prospective, tandem-designed study to determine the proportion of clinically significant missed lesions when using a side- or oblique-viewing endoscope as compared to the standard forward-viewing endoscope. Utilizing standard endoscopy protocols in current practice at Brigham and Women's Hospital, consecutive adult patients undergoing ERCP for traditional reasons will undergo back-to-back tandem EGD and ERCP examinations. This process entails an EGD performed by an attending gastroenterologist first. Next, a second blinded attending gastroenterologist will perform ERCP immediately after index EGD. Both endoscopists will note any clinically significant findings, independent of the other providers procedural findings. Clinically significant findings defined as endoscopic findings that alter patient management (i.e., esophageal varices, peptic ulcer disease, hemorrhage, mass, etc.) during EGD and ERCP will be recorded. As previously stated, some institutions already routinely perform EGD with every ERCP.
Gastro-Intestinal Disorder
Cernostics has developed a new diagnostic test, and this study will measure how gastroenterologists and foregut surgeons make diagnostic and treatment decisions when presented with different information in the context of simulated clinical cases. The results of this study could contribute to improved quality of care for patients by encouraging better care practices and adherence to evidence-based guidance. The data from this study will be provided to all participating physicians and submitted to a national journal for publication. The study plans to enroll up to 249 physicians.
Gastro-Intestinal Disorder, Barrett Esophagus
It is hoped that different forms of the same medicine, called PVP001, PVP002, and PVP003, will help people with celiac disease. Both healthy adults and adults with celiac disease will take part in this study. There are many main aims of the study. * To check if participants have side effects from different forms of the study medicine. These forms are called PVP001 (liquid in a cup), PVP002 capsule, and PVP003 tablet. * To check how well PVP003 breaks down gluten. * To check how much PVP003 participants can take without getting side effects from it. The study is in 4 parts. At the start of each part of the study, the study doctor will check to determine who can take part at the first study visit. Different groups of participants will be in different parts of the study. In all parts of the study, some participants will take 1 of the 3 forms of study medicine. Others will take a placebo. In this study, a placebo will look like the form of study medicine but will not have any medicine in it. This means that a placebo can either look like PVP001 liquid in a cup, the PVP002 tablet, or the PVP003 tablet. In Part 1, different small groups of participants will take lower to higher doses of PVP001 or PVP002 or a placebo. This is to work out the best dose of study medicine to take in other parts of the study. After treatment, participants will regularly visit the clinic to check that they have no problems with their treatment, including any side effects from their treatment. In Part 2, different small groups will take different doses of PVP001 or PVP002 or a placebo, either with or without a meal that has different amounts of gluten in it. This is to check if PVP001 or PVP002 has broken down gluten in the body. Participants will visit the clinic after treatment to check how much gluten has been broken down in the body. In Part 3, different small groups will take different doses of PVP003 or a placebo, either with or without a meal that has gluten in it. This is to check if PVP003 has broken down gluten in the body. Participants will visit the clinic after treatment to check if more gluten has broken down in the body. In Part 4, different small groups will take PVP003 or placebo 3 times a day for 5 days. After treatment, participants will visit the clinic to check that they have no problems with their treatment, including any side effects from their treatment.

Ileus, Gastro-Intestinal Disorder
Sub-optimal transfer of clinical information during inter-hospital transfer (IHT, the transfer of patients between acute care hospitals) is common and can lead to patient harm. To address this problem, the investigators will use key stakeholder input to refine and implement an interoperable health information exchange platform that integrates with the electronic health record and improves the reliability of and access to necessary clinical information in three use cases involving transfer of patients between sending and receiving hospitals with varying levels of affiliation and health record integration. The investigators will assess the effect of this intervention on frequency of medical errors, evaluate the use and usability of this platform from the perspective of those that interact with it, and use these results to develop a dissemination plan to spread implementation and use of this platform across other similar institutions.
