Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Feasibility of acquiring adequate histological samples, including - Endoscopic cold snare biopsy of duodenal tissue - Fixation of the specimens - Slicing and staining of the samples Ability to acquire adequate orientation of the tissue slides of the duodenal mucosa, in order to - Measure length of villi and crypts - Measure thickness of the mucosal layers - Determine density of certain stained cells/proteins. Size and depth of cold snare biopsy tissue slides of the duodenal mucosa. Weight of the cold snare tissue. | — |
