Building Capacity for Screening & Early Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer Through a Comprehensive Colonoscopy Training Program in Nigeria

ABSTRACT: This protocol seeks to develop a colonoscopy training program in Nigeria in order to increase the number of health care providers proficient in colonoscopy. The goal is to improve capacity for screening and early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) by training and expanding the healthcare workforce that is competent in endoscopy techniques. The project has three components, a needs assessment, simulation training, and training on live patients. The first part of this project determines the number of providers and endoscopy procedures currently performed in Nigeria, as well as patient access to facilities that have colonoscopy capabilities, through a mixed methods approach. Surveys, focus in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, and use geographic information system (GIS) modeling technology will be employed to perform a needs assessment. The second component of this project investigates whether a locally developed low fidelity (LF) simulation colonoscopy training model is an effective teaching, training, and assessment tool for skill acquisition and confidence compared to a high-fidelity (HF) colonoscopy model. The third component of this project is training healthcare providers on real patients who have an indication for colonoscopy. This project seeks to build capacity for endoscopy services in order to increase capacity for screening and early diagnosis of CRC. At the end of the project, it is expected the number of providers trained to perform colonoscopy in a resource limited setting like Nigeria will increase.

A Randomized Control Trial of a Simulation-based Curriculum to Enhance Skills in Colonoscopy

Project description:Colonoscopy is a commonly used medical procedure. Medical and surgical residents learning colonoscopy typically learn the procedure experientially but simulation based teaching is increasingly being integrated into training programs. The optimal manner to teach colonoscopy on virtual-reality simulators is uncertain. We aim to test a curriculum in simulation-based colonoscopy with self-directed learning on simulators.

Simulation Training of Endoscopy Staff to Improve Patient Experience in Colonoscopy

Project description:Some patients experience a degree of pain and discomfort during endoscopic examination of the large bowel. Sedatives and analgesics may be administered in low doses. Excessive dosage or intense pain may lead to hypotension and impaired level of consciousness. The purpose of the present study was to determine if simulation training of endoscopy staff in preventing pain and handling acute complications through effective teamwork could improve the quality of colonoscopy from the patients’ perspective.

Microarray gene expression analysis of pinch biopsies from terminal ileum of patients with active and inactive Crohn’s disease and healthy controls

Project description:Biopsies from six individuals of each of the categories active CD (CDA), inactive CD (CD) and healthy controls (N) were analyzed for gene expression using microarray. The biopsies were obtained by ileo-colonoscopy and snap-frozen in nitrogen before RNA-isolation. A gastrointestinal pathologist classified the biopsies into normal, chronic active or chronic inactive inflammation based on Hematoxylin-Eosin stain of tissue sections from adjacent biopsies. Samples with discrepancy between endoscopic and histologic diagnoses were excluded from the final analysis, and uploaded with "NaN". The patients with chronic inactive inflammation all previously had verified CD of the terminal ileum. Patients coming to endoscopy for other reasons than IBD and with normal endoscopic and histological findings served as controls.

Resistance to aerobic exercise training causes metabolic dysfunction and reveals novel exercise-regulated signaling networks

Project description:Low aerobic exercise capacity is a risk factor for diabetes and strong predictor of mortality; yet some individuals are exercise resistant, and unable to improve exercise capacity through exercise training. To test the hypothesis that resistance to aerobic exercise training underlies metabolic disease-risk, we used selective breeding for 15 generation to develop rat models of low- and high-aerobic response to training. Before exercise training, rats selected as low- and high-responders had similar exercise capacities. However, after 8-wks of treadmill training low-responders failed to improve their exercise capacity, while high-responders improved by 54%. Remarkably, low-responders to aerobic training exhibited pronounced metabolic dysfunction characterized by insulin resistance and increased adiposity, demonstrating that the exercise resistant phenotype segregates with disease risk. Low-responders had impaired exercise-induced angiogenes0is in muscle; however, mitochondrial capacity was intact and increased normally with exercise training, demonstrating that mitochondria are not limiting for aerobic adaptation or responsible for metabolic dysfunction in low-responders. Low-responders had increased stress/inflammatory signaling and altered TGFβ signaling, characterized by hyperphosphorylation of a novel exercise-regulated phosphorylation site on SMAD2. Using this powerful biological model system we have discovered key pathways for low exercise training response that may represent novel targets for the treatment of metabolic disease.

Exercise prevents substrate overload of liver mitochondria by modification of the compensatory responses during chronic overnutrition

Project description:Exercise training is a potent treatment of NAFLD and hepatic insulin resistance. Here we provide molecular information about the hepatic mitochondrial metabolism in mice when chronic overnutrition (high-energy diet (HED) for 6 weeks) is combined with exercise training. Training reduced the hepatic triacylglycerol content, fasting insulin, and reversed glucose intolerance. Training modified the hepatic mitochondrial proteome with a decrease in enzymes related to pyruvate metabolism and entry of acetyl-CoA into the TCA cycle. Transcriptome data revealed down-regulation of glucose oxidation and lipogenesis. The mitochondrial respiratory capacity of trained HED-fed mice is increased despite reduced content of complex I. Training decreased diacylglycerol species and JNK phosphorylation, both of which can induce insulin resistance. Increased mitochondrial mass and oxidative capacity of the trained muscle further unburdens the liver from substrate overload. Together, when high fat and carbohydrate intake in mice is accompanied by exercise, the decline of mitochondrial function and insulin resistance can be prevented by modification of mitochondrial acetyl-CoA metabolism.
