  1. Difficile or Clostridioides difficile
    CDIFF According to the CDC

Clostridioides difficile (also known as C. diff or CDIFF) is a bacterium that causes diarrhea and colitis (an inflammation of the colon).

It’s estimated to cause almost half a million illnesses in the United States each year.

About 1 in 6 patients who get C. diff will get it again in the subsequent 2-8 weeks.

Within a month of diagnosis, 1 in 11 people over age 65 died of a healthcare-associated C. diff infection.

    Info

    Researchers are conducting a study to evaluate a colon cancer screening test designed to help identify individuals who may be at risk for colorectal cancer. The goal of this research is to improve early detection and support better health outcomes through effective screening methods.

    Participation in this study may help researchers develop and validate screening tools that could benefit future patients.


     

    Fatty Liver/NASH/MASH (Please keep image and delete information and study info for EBGCR) 

    Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is a type of fatty liver disease, characterized by inflammation of the liver with concurrent fat accumulation in liver.

     

    NASH is closely related to the triple epidemic of obesity, pre-diabetes, and diabetes.  If you are living with NASH you may qualify for a clinical research study.

    MASH is the advanced stage of MASLD. MAFLD is a type of metabolic syndrome characterized by being overweight or obese, elevated blood pressure, blood lipids, and either diabetes or pre-diabetes. Researchers believe that oxidative stress, inflammatory proteins, liver cell damage, adipose tissue inflammation, and the gut microbiota may contribute to its development.

      Jacksonville: Borland Groover – Celiac Disease

       

      Celiac disease is a multifaceted autoimmune disorder that affects approximately 1 in 100 individuals globally. Alarming statistics reveal that only 30% of celiac cases have been diagnosed accurately. This disorder is triggered by the consumption of gluten, which can damage the small intestine. Dr. Misra, an expert in the field, is researching celiac disease and evaluating various treatment options. Identifying and diagnosing celiac disease correctly is essential to prevent long-term complications and improve patient outcomes.

      • Cannot have a liver biopsy.
      • Have severe liver disease, cirrhosis, or signs of liver failure.
      • Have certain liver infections, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV.
      • Have significant kidney problems.
      • Have poorly controlled diabetes.
      • Regularly consume excessive amounts of alcohol.
      • Have abnormal liver blood tests that suggest advanced liver disease

      A study team member will review your medical history to determine if the study is right for you.
