Filter by:Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a challenge to ophthalmic practice in communities with poor socioeconomic development. The COVID 19 pandemic has accentuated the challenge. DR is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide, estimated to account for 1.25% of moderate to severe visual impairment and 1.07% of blindness. Pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) remains the gold standard treatment for preventing visual loss in PDR. Scatter photocoagulation is not recommended for eyes with mild or moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) provided careful follow-up can be maintained,. When retinopathy is more severe, scatter photocoagulation should be considered and should not be delayed if the eye has reached the high-risk proliferative stage. As many as 27% of patients with moderate NPDR are estimated to progress to PDR in 1 year; therefore, they should be seen every 4 to 8 months. This ideal, good as it is, is not what ophthalmic practice has to deal with in communities of low-resource settings, where patients often seek medical advice due to visual complaints from the complications of PDR without being diagnosed in the non-proliferative stage or high risk PDR. Screening protocols are not followed, a situation aggravated during the COVID pandemic lockdown.
This study aims to describe demographics, clinical, treatment and healthcare resource utilization characteristics with a particular focus on those relating to cardiovascular disease in selected treatment intensified patients with type 2 diabetes in the real-world settings in India, Pakistan, and Thailand. The study will be based on data already recorded in participants medical record and no new tests or procedures are required as part of the study. The study will last for about 6 months and it does not affect participants current treatment.
This study is testing the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous semaglutide in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Chile. Participants will get a once-weekly subcutaneous injection of semaglutide in doses decided by the study doctor's criteria, according to participant's personal needs. The study will last for about 24 weeks. Participants will have 4 clinic visits and 2 phone calls. Participants will have 3 laboratory tests during the study (blood and urine samples).
HbA1c is currently the only metric of glucose control showing an association with chronic complications of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). Time in range (TIR, 70-180 mg/dL) measured by real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) might be a better marker. In this study, the investigators studied the clinical significance of a 10% increase of TIR over two years.
The present study is a phase 1 dose escalation study of harmine in healthy volunteers. The primary goal of the trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of harmine.
This study aimed to evaluate the relation between the levels of (Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor) BDNF and val66met polymorphism of BDNF gene, and the presence of depression in type 2 diabetes. In addition to studying the relationship between BDNF level and val66met polymorphism of its gene and assessing relation between BDNF level and obesity.
BACKGROUND/AIM: Secondary forms of diabetes are often understudied and underdiagnosed in children and adolescents with cancer. The objectives of this cohort study were to study the incidence and risk factors for hyperglycaemia in leukaemia and lymphoma patients. METHODS: The investigators retrospectively collected 15 years of data from paediatric patients treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) immediately at cancer diagnosis. They studied risk factors for hyperglycaemia in univariate and multivariate analyses.
Prospective observational study of the POINTED consortium to evaluate whether new diagnoses of diabetes mellitus, occur significantly more frequently in the post-acute phase of a laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection than in carefully matched control groups.
What is the effect of a ketone drink on liver glucose production, and postprandial glycemia, in people with type 2 diabetes.
This study explores the perspectives and needs of people dealing with type 1 diabetes or their carers to co-design a voice-based digital health intervention for supporting diabetes distress management.
