There are about 11304 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Denmark. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
To examine patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) before and after septal alcohol ablation, to investigate the effect of the treatment in regards to changes in myocardial function, perfusion, invasive hemodynamics and exercise tolerance.
Purpose: To determine unmet functional needs in patients referred to the Palliative Care Unit at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital will be asked to fill out self reported questionnaires regarding problem intensity, problem burden and felt needs, physical functioning, emotional functioning, fatigue, sleep, distress. Furthermore patients physical function will be evaluated.
Physical training is one of the cornerstones within the treatment of diabetes, as well as medicine and diet modification, and the effect is well documented. Nevertheless people with diabetes with foot ulcers are urged to lessen their level of physical activity, to reduce pressure on footbed and thereby achieve fastest possible healing. Purpose: The primarily purpose is to investigate the feasibility of implementing safe, progressive resistance training, combined with exercises for ankle mobility and aerobic training, for people with diabetes and foot ulcers, without compromising the ulcer. The secondarily purpose is to investigate whether this form of training is effective on improving muscle strength, as to if limitations in everyday life diminishes. The hypothesis is, that it is possible to implement a structured exercise program without compromising the diabetic ulcer.
The objective of this study is to determine the homeostatic mechanisms that counteract weight gain in response to experimental overfeeding.
A 12-month study to compare the efficacy and safety of abaloparatide-solid microstructured transdermal system (sMTS) with abaloparatide-subcutaneous (SC).
This study aims to investigate the muscle anabolic potential of adding ketone (3-hydroxybutyrate) to whey protein compared with isocaloric, isonitrogenous whey protein in a human model of inflammatory catabolic disease. Further, this study aims to investigate whether the same amount of whey protein has different effects on muscles in an catabolic inflammatory setting compared with a healthy setting.
The purpose of this proof of concept study is to determine whether CMK389 displays the safety and efficacy profile to support further development in chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis.
The overall objective of this study is to investigate whether hypoglycaemia (the most potent stimulus of pancreatic glucagon secretion) affects the secretion of gut-derived glucagon in totally pancreatectomized patients.
Glucagon is a 29-amino acid peptide hormone of essential importance for glucose homeostasis. Hitherto glucagon has been believed to be secreted only from the pancreas, but recent studies show that glucagon is also secreted from an extra pancreatic origin - most likely from enteroendocrine cells in the intestinal epithelium (Baekdal et al., unpublished data). This has fundamentally changed the understanding of glucagon physiology and provides new avenues for the investigation of several metabolic disorders in which hyperglucagonaemia represents a common and important pathophysiological characteristic (including type 2 diabetes). To delineate the physiological role of gut-derived glucagon and its potential pathophysiological implications, and thereby clear the way for new treatment modalities targeting gut glucagon, it is of importance to understand how glucagon secretion from the gut is regulated. In contrast to the regulation of pancreatic glucagon secretion, very little is known about the regulation of gut-derived glucagon. Inhibition of the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) which under normal circumstances degrades, and thereby inactivates the two gut-derived incretin hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), has been shown to decrease pancreatic glucagon secretion. This is most likely brought about by increased levels of intact, active GLP-1, which is known to suppress pancreatic glucagon secretion. Furthermore, the sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT-2) seems to be implicated in pancreatic glucagon secretion as inhibitors of SGLT-2 have been shown to increase the secretion of pancreatic glucagon secretion. The present project will employ further investigations of totally pancreatectomised patients to delineate the regulation of gut-derived glucagon secretion with focus on the well-known modulators of pancreatic glucagon secretion, the enzyme DPP-4 and the sodium-glucose co-transporter SGLT-2, respectively. The study is designed as a randomised, double-blinded, crossover study. 10 healthy persons and 10 totally pancreatectomized patients will be subjected to 3 experimental days. All participants will undergo a screening visit and three experimental days (day A (meal test during DPP-4 inhibition), B (meal test during SGLT-2 inhibition) and C (meal test with placebo)). A liquid meal test will be followed by a fasting period and finished off with an ad libitum meal.
The aim of the study is to analyse if live video as a supplement to emergency calls can improve medical dispatchers' situation awareness and enhance the assistance they provide including provision of pre-hospital resources. Focus will also be on evaluating the unconscious patient and improve CPR quality. The general experience from the medical dispatcher and the person calling the emergency number regarding the feasibility of adding live video will also be analysed.
