Objective The investigators assessed the acute impact of physical exercise on retinal vessel regulation. This might be of clinical importance if retinal vessel regulation is examined with the very sensitive method of the dynamic vessel analyzer Design Forty middle aged (age range 18 to 31 years, mean age 24 years) healthy subjects (26 female / 14 male) had retinal examinations with static and dynamic vessel analysis prior and after (0.5h, 1.5h, 2.5h) intense exercise of 20 minutes.
Recent developments of continuous glucose sensors and insulin infusion pumps have motivated the research toward closed-loop strategies to regulate glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes. In a closed-loop strategy, the pump(s) infusion rate is altered based on a computer-generated recommendation that relies on continuous glucose sensor readings. In this study, we aim to compare the effectiveness of dual-hormone (insulin+glucagon) closed-loop strategy to open-loop conventional continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion pump (CSII) therapy in regulating glucose levels during an evening exercise and on a night following an exercise in adults with type 1 diabetes.
Aim. To assess the effect of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) inhibition with diacerein administration on insulin secretion and metabolic control of drug-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and overweight or obesity. Hypothesis. Diacerein administration improves insulin secretion and metabolic control of drug-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and overweight or obesity. Materials and methods. Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Population: 40 drug-naïve adult patients with T2DM and overweight or obesity. Measurements: A metabolic profile including IL-1β, TNFα, interleukin 6, and fasting insulin levels, as well as, hyperglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique; to assess the phases of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. Intervention for 2 mo: diacerein (50 mg once daily) for the first 15 days and twice daily for 45 additional days or placebo. Statistical analyses: Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann-Whitney U test.
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Tumor and its therapy have adverse effects on the nutritional status of cancer patients, leading to nutritional support. The aim was to study enteral nutrition indications, as well as its compliance and the impact on nutritional status. DESIGN AND SETTING: Clinical trial, IOP, Unifesp-EPM. METHODS: Patients older than 1 year followed during anticancer therapy were included from January 2002 to January 2004. They received industrialized oral supplementation - Nutren 1.0 or Jr (IOS) and were followed on a weekly basis and reevaluated on weeks 3, 8 and 12: at these times, if inadequate outcome was observed, tube feeding with the same supplement (TFR) was indicated.

Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) frequently suffer from emotional instability, daytime fatigue and sleep disturbances. The investigators examined circadian rhythms, sleep and well-being in women with BPD under their habitual life conditions with and without light treatment. Treated women diagnosed with BPD were investigated during 3 weeks without and 3 weeks with morning LT. Rest-activity cycles were continuously measured using wrist actigraphy, together with proximal skin temperature. Saliva samples were collected weekly to determine the diurnal melatonin rhythm. A range of self-ratings and questionnaires were used to assess depression and clinical state throughout the 6-week protocol. Ten matched healthy women followed the same 6-week protocol without light treatment.
In conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the cystic duct and artery are clipped by metal clips. we propose a new method in which the cystic duct is ligated and the cystic artery is cauterized. the investigators compare both methods.
The aim of this study is to determine if macular edema is associated with less visual function and quality of live in patients with intermediate uveitis
Strength training of the hip flexors using elastic bands can induce an effect on isometric hip strength of at least 15 %.
The study will comprise two dosing periods in two different cohorts of healthy volunteers. The investigators will begin with a single dosage period I (1 injection of 25 mg of Risperidone for each subject); single dosage period II, different from the previous one (1 injection of 37.5 mg of Risperidone for each subject), in a second group of healthy volunteers different from the first group will not start until after a preliminary analysis has been made of the safety data and plasma concentration data are known for the formulation of prolonged release Risperidone using the ISM® technology.
