Filter by:The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ketogenic diet (KD) treatment of (i) obesity, (ii) type 2 diabetes mellitus and (iii) obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with obesity and Type 2 DM and in patients with obesity and/or OSA. This will be a randomized, open-label three arm controlled study comparing weight loss in obese participants with type 2 diabetes and/or obstructive sleep apnea treated for 9 months with 3:1 [fat]:[protein+carbohydrate] ratio, 1600 kcal/day diet (Group A) with weight loss in participants treated with orlistat 120 mg TID and lifestyle intervention consisting of dietary advice, recommended caloric goal of 1600 kcal/day (Group B), and in participants treated with only lifestyle intervention consisting of dietary advice, recommended caloric goal of 1600 kcal/day (Group C).
A Phase 1b, Exploratory, Randomized, Partially Single Blinded, Placebo and Open Label Controlled, Parallel Group Study to Assess the Effects of HM11260C and an Active Comparator on Gastric Emptying and Beta-Cell Response in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Bariatric surgery is generally recommended for obese people with a body mass index (BMI) of at least 40kg/m2, and for people with BMI 35 kg/m2 and serious coexisting medical conditions such as diabetes. A variety of studies showed that it cause significant weight loss, recovery from diabetes and improvement in cardiovascular risk factors, such as blood pressure. The recent guidelines suggest that patients with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2 with co morbidities is a candidate for bariatric surgery. However, the patients with diabetes in Chinese has lower BMI than that in west country. Therefore, this research is designed to observe whether bariatric surgery reduce blood pressure in patients with diabetes and relatively lower BMI.
The Toe-Brachial Index (TBI) that has been using in our laboratory is 0.6, but the average value we measured in normal individuals is about 1.0, furthermore, we can not find out the reference of TBI that is currently being used. The purpose of this study is to determine the more accurate value of TBI and Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI). In this study, all participants will be required to fill out a demographic questionnaire before the blood pressures test. All participants will have their toe, ankle and brachial systolic blood pressure measurements to obtain the TBI and ABI.
The essential arterial hypotension and allostasis registry is a prospective, observational research that has the purpose of demonstrating that essential blood pressure (BP) disorders and the associated comorbidities are a result of the inappropriate allostatic response to daily life stress. This required a functioning brain orchestrating the evaluation of the threat and choosing the response, this is a mind-mediated phenomenon. If the response is excessive it contributes to high BP, if deficient to low BP, and the BP itself will identify the allostatic pattern, which in turn will play an important role in the development of the comorbidities. To do so, consecutive patients of any age and gender that visit a cardiologist's office in Medellin, Colombia, are recruited. Individuals are classified according to their arterial BP and allostasis and follow them in time to see what kind of diseases develops the most (including BP) in the follow up according to the categorization of the characteristic chosen and after adjustment for confounder's variables. In addition, stress events with their date are registered. HYPOTHESIS The causes of the diseases are multifactorial. Physical, biochemical, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions of development dynamically interact to shape the health development process. A person´s health depends on their: 1. Biological and physiologic systems 2. External and internal environment (a) physical, b) internal behavioural and arousal state as registered by the brain. 3. Their interaction. The allostatic mechanisms to the internal and external stressors (allostatic load) involves a network composed by: 1. Functional systems; mediated by: 1. The Autonomic Nervous System 2. The endocrine system 3. The immune system 2. Structural changes: whenever the internal and/or external stressors are long lasting and/or strength enough, they may induce changes in: 1. Epigenetic, endophenotypes, polyphenism. 2. Plasticity 3. The interaction between a) and b). The network response do not affect exclusively the BP, propitiating the development of comorbidities, which may prompt strategies for prevention, recognition and ultimately, treatment. The allostatic model defines health as a state of responsiveness. The concept of psycho-biotype: The allostasis is the result of both: biological (allostasis) and psychological (psychostasis) abilities. It is proposed that both components behave in similar direction and magnitude. Immune disorders may be associated with the development of cancer. High BP population has a higher sympathetic and lower vagal tone, this has been associated with a decrease in the immune´s system function. Resources and energy depletion: Terms like weathering have been used to describe how exposures to different allostatic loads gradually scrape away at the protective coating that keeps people healthy. It is postulated that High BP individuals have more resources and energy.
Prospective study to evaluate whether or not an internet application to coordinate and record diabetes management by the 1. diabetic patient/family caregiver 2. diabetic medical care team and 3. ophthalmology vision care team will decrease vision loss and blindness due to diabetic retinopathy. The aims will be measured through health psychology instruments to assess the effect of the application on management, motivation to control their disease, and commitment to comply with treatment. We will also measure objective health outcomes including Blood Pressure, Blood lipids level, hemoglobin A1c level, and Visual Acuity.
The undercarboxylated fractions of the two vitamin K-dependent proteins osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein have been shown to play key roles in type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (at least in mouse models). Clinical trials are needed to isolate the effects of vitamin K manipulation on carboxylation of these two proteins (osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein) and their subsequent effects on markers of diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk. The purpose of this pilot randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in children is to estimate the effective dose of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) supplementation (to improve carboxylation of both osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein), and whether it can have an effect on markers associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk.
General anesthesia can be considered as a combination of hypnosis, antinociception and immobility. Explore the effect of three kinds of anesthesia,that is the total intravenous anesthesia, inhalation anesthesia and inhalation and intravenous anesthesia on stress reactions generated by patients with diabetes conducted gastric - bypass surgery , and choose a best way from three kinds of anesthesia to control stress reaction of diabetics. After selecting the appropriate anesthesia method, assess the effect of dexmedetomidine on controlling stress response from diabetics undergoing laparoscopic gastric-bypass surgical.
Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a common way to assess glycemic control in diabetes management. Multiple times of blood glucose measurements by fingerstick in the same day are of tough challenge to it. The changes and variations of glucose excursion in senior diabetics with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)involve a safety issue besides glycated hemoglobin (GHb) value. The goal of this study is to explore modified SMBG protocols for precisely monitoring and predicting glycemic excursion, variability in senior type 2 diabetics with CAD.
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the hydrotherapy are effective in against pain and other symptoms in diabetes-induced LEAD.
