Filter by:The ileal brake is a feedback mechanism controlling stomach-mediated transit of a meal, for which gastric emptying can be used as an indicator. Previously, slowly digestible carbohydrates (SDCs) were shown to activate the ileal brake in a rat model; the current research aimed to determine the effect of common SDCs in humans.
Consumption of slowly digestible carbohydrates can elicit higher satiety feeling compared to rapidly digestible carbohydrates, however not all individuals respond the same. The physiological mechanism that accounts for the satiety effect and the lack of consistency among subjects is not fully understood. The overall aim of this research is to determine if consumption of slow digestible carbohydrates can induce non-responding subjects (i.e., with rapid gastric emptying) to activate the ileal brake and delay rate of gastric emptying.
This study tests the effectiveness of using a new mobile application (Bingocize®) to improve older adults' (a) adherence to an engaging exercise program, and (b) aspects of functional performance, health knowledge, dietary habits, and cognition.
Elevated levels of troponin are associated with future MACE. Data on the prognostic value of high sensitive troponin T (hs-TnT) as compared to high sensitive troponin I (hs-TnI) in diabetic and non-diabetic patients are sparse. We aimed to assess the risk for MACE according to gender and diabetes status and to compare the prognostic value of hs-TnT and hs-TnI with regards to clinical outcomes in diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
In this study, the investigators will be using a smartphone application that the investigators developed to guide community health workers through the clinical assessment of patients with diabetes including collection of demographic data and past medical history, assessment of medication history, adherence, and adverse effects, measurement of glycemic control, screening for complications, medication administration and titration, and patient counseling.
The study used the Practical, Robust, Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) with mixed methods to: redesign a diabetes survival skills education (DSSE) program (DM2Go) content and the processes for its inpatient delivery; and to evaluate the feasibility of integrating and implementing high-tech tablet computer-enabled delivery of the DSSE program for hospital inpatients within usual workflow by staff on general medical/surgical units (MSUs) and a behavioral health unit. The four study phases were: I) Interviews and focus groups with stakeholders to identify perceived barriers and facilitators for implementation; II) Redesign of the D2Go program to address usability issues and potential barriers and to optimize perceived facilitators; III) Development of implementation processes and a D2Go toolkit; IV) Conduct of a prospective cohort pilot study on three MSUs and one BHU.
The aim of the study is to examine the health benefits of adding a concept in basic carbohydrate counting (BCC) to the routine outpatient nutritional education for adult patients with type 2 diabetes. The study hypothesis is that training and education in the BCC concept will improve glycaemic control either by reducing HbA1c or the average plasma glucose variability more than offering the routine dietary care as a stand-alone dietary treatment.
To determine whether use of detemir compared to neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) decreases rates of composite neonatal outcome and maternal hypoglycemia events in women with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
A Study to assess if patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) who have suboptimal glycemic control using multiple oral agents are able to make lifestyle changes resulting in improved glycemic control by use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) and targeted learning modules versus self monitored blood glucose (SMBG) testing.
The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of carbon fiber off loading orthoses to reduce plantar pressure while providing an augmented plantarflexor power to improve walking and function. Results of this study could lead to increased use of carbon fiber off loading orthoses for patients with diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, and foot wounds as a way augmenting wound healing and preventing future recurrences of wounds.
