Thirty-eight periodontitis- and diabetes-affected subjects will be randomly allocated to non surgical periodontal treatment with either Full-Mouth Approach (FM-SRP) or Quadrant approach (Q-SRP). Patients will be seen one day and three months (study completion) after treatment. The 24 hours appointment will be occurring after the entire completion of the FM-SRP or the first quadrant of the Q-SRP. In the latter group other sessions of treatment will be performed within the following 3 weeks. At baseline, 24 hours and three months, anthropometric, inflammatory and endothelial parameters will be collected. Periodontal parameters will be checked at baseline and at three months. Main outcome of the study is the level of C-reactive protein 24 hours after treatment.
This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and North America. The aim of the trial is to compare the effect of semaglutide s.c. 1.0 mg once-weekly versus placebo as add-on to sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) monotherapy or in combination with either metformin or sulfonylurea on glycaemic control after 30 weeks of treatment in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Subjects will remain on their pre-trial medication.
Conventional management of diabetic ulcers is associated with slow healing, high costs and repeated trips to clinic. Stem cells contained in fat grafts can differentiate into pro-healing cells and release growth factors with evidence suggesting a benefit in wound healing. Platelet-rich-plasma (PRP), an autologous blood-product, demonstrates pro-healing properties through releasing pro-healing factors and regulating angiogenesis. When used combination there is evidence of additional wound healing benefits. The aim is to investigate the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial with fat grafting and fat/PRP co-grafting as interventions for diabetic ulcers. We aim to develop pilot data which can power a multi-centre study. The aim of the trial would be to determine the feasibility of the trial by assessing recruitment, randomisation and retention of participants. We would also evaluate the rate of wound healing in diabetic ulcers when treated with conventional dressings, fat grafting alone and fat+PRP combination. The secondary aims will be to understand the mechanism of the healing process, the health related quality of life and patient satisfaction and the cost implications. The study is a single-blinded randomised controlled trial of approximately 30 patients with three parallel treatment arms. Each patient will be followed up for 12 weeks and the rate and degree of wound healing will be assessed. Wound biopsies will be taken at Day 0, week 1 and week 4 and will undergo subsequent histological analysis to evaluate the mechanism of healing. The study is expected to last two years from recruitment of the first patient and will be conducted at Royal Free Hospital and UCL Division of Surgery and Interventional Science. The combination of fat+PRP may provide diabetic patients the option of a single treatment with improved healing, shorter followup and a reduced cost burden. Validation of the mechanism of healing through histological analysis will confirm clinical findings and help guide future research.
The objective of this study is the evaluation of system accuracy based on EN ISO 15197:2015 (ISO 15197:2013), clause 6.3 in which accuracy requirements and applicable test procedures for blood glucose monitoring systems intended for self-monitoring of blood glucose by patients are stipulated. ISO 15197:20132 was harmonized with the regulations of the European Union as EN ISO 15197:2015. This harmonization had no impact on the requirements and procedu¬res in ISO 15197:2013; changes were made to the foreword and an informative annex. In this study, system accuracy evaluation will be performed for OneTouch® Verio Flex (LifeScan Europe) on behalf of LifeScan Scotland Limited (customer) with three different reagent system lots.
Investigators propose to study an intervention that will provide patient-centered, automated decision support to diabetes providers with the goals of improving adherence to medical recommendations (both patients and providers), improving self-management, and ultimately improving health outcomes.
Given the importance of healthy lifestyle practices to cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and the utility of church-based interventions in African-American adults, the investigators developed a theory-informed, strategically-planned, health and wellness intervention with Rochester, Minnesota (MN) and Twin Cities area (Minneapolis, St. Paul, MN) churches with predominately African-American congregations. The objective of the study was to partner with churches to implement a multi-component, health education program through the use of core educational sessions delivered through a digital-application accessible on demand via interactive access on computer tablets and the Internet. The overarching goal was to increase the awareness and critical importance of healthy lifestyles for CVD prevention and provide support for behavior change.
People with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) are randomized to follow the normal scheduled visit procedure in the outpatient clinic OR to have open access to the clinic, i.e. they can get an appointment with a nurse or doctor within defined time intervals via telephone, e-mail or apps. Patient-reported outcomes (patient satisfaction and experience, QoL) clinical variables (HbA1c, blood pressure etc.) and use of human resources (doctors, diabetes-nurses and diet physicians) are monitored.
This trial is conducted in Europe and North America. The aim of the trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec and insulin glargine 300 units/mL in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately treated with basal insulin with or without oral antidiabetic drugs. Due to change in glycaemic data collection process, this trial is amended to allow for a full 36 weeks (maintenance 2 period) of the use of the new process.
This study will be a prospective, clinical pilot study in CKD patients to show whether Empagliflozin in addition to ACEi treatment significantly increases Ang 1-7 levels compared to ACEi treatment alone. Null and alternative hypotheses: H0: Empagliflozin in addition to ACEi treatment does not increase Ang 1-7 levels more than ACEi treatment alone. H1: Empagliflozin in addition to ACEi treatment significantly increases Ang 1-7 levels compared to ACEi treatment alone Methodology: Two groups of 24 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, respectively, with and without type 2 diabetes will be randomized into the study medication or placebo group. The number of patients per treatment arms is n = 12. Included and consented patients will be subjected to an initial 2-week run-in period for conversion of current RAS blocking medications to ACEi therapy with enalapril or ramipril and respective dose titration to 10 mg enalapril 2 x daily and 10 mg ramipril 1 x daily. Additional antihypertensive medication will be standardized as feasible, with the primary goal of keeping blood pressure as recommended by KDIGO. Following the 2-week run-in phase, all study patients will be subjected to blood collection including the first RAS quantification (RAS Fingerprint) and assessment of HDL composition, as well as urinary analysis and bioimpedance fluid status assessment (BCM measurement). Subsequently, patients will be randomized to either receive empagliflozin (at a dose of 10 mg daily) or placebo. Subsequently, biweekly study visits including electrolyte and glucose (plasma and urine) monitoring as well as BCM measurement will take place. After 12 weeks of study medication intake, a concluding study visit will be scheduled for final RAS quantification (RAS Fingerprint) and HDL analyses as well as final blood and urinary analysis and BCM measurement. Initially, blood and urine will be collected at the clinical visit as part of the routine blood obtainment (no additional effort on patients). From these routine measurements we will be able to extract information regarding the patient's current CKD stage as well as other relevant laboratory parameters (e.g. HbA1c, UACR, etc.). Furthermore, we will document the patient's current medication and significant comorbidities. Primary analysis variable/endpoint: The difference of Ang 1-7 increase from baseline between a 3-month treatment with empagliflozin on top of ACEi treatment compared to ACEi treatment alone Most important secondary analysis variables/endpoints: 1. Simultaneous quantitative changes of multiple RAS effector angiotensin levels determined by mass-spectrometry 2. Recurrence of Ang II levels determined by mass-spectrometry 3. HDL parameters (protein composition of HDL) 4. Renal parameters (albuminuria reduction measured by urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR), renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), serum-creatinine) 5.
