Filter by:This will be a study conducted as a placebo-controlled, double blind, 1:1 randomized controlled clinical trial testing a Tumor Necrosis Factor Blocker (Anti-TNFα) substance versus placebo in subjects with a 2-year 50% risk of progression to stage 3 T1D across multiple centers. The trial will investigate the ability of Anti-TNFα to prevent or delay progression to Stage 3 T1D in the targeted patient population.
This is a single-center, non-randomzied pilot study investigating a combination of targeted therapies as possible treatment for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The study interviention is a Low-Dose, Triple Polydiuretic Therapy (LDTPT, or polydiuretic) including loop diuretic (bumetanide), mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (eplerenone), and Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) therapy (dapaglifozin).
An open-label evaluation of the effects of a red/gold/IR LED combination light on reduction of fat. The results shall be compared to previous results from a comparator device utilizing only red LED monotherapy for the non-invasive reduction in fat layer for body contouring.
The dysfunction of wound healing in diabetes involves multiple healing processes by diminished inflammatory responses and delayed deposition of matrix components, wound remodeling, and closure. Furthermore, hyperglycemia increases the infection susceptibility of wounds. In Taiwan, we have data demonstrating the nutrition status associated the outcome of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) acute treatment and value of serum arginine level (in preliminary metabolomics study) to predict one-year healing of DFUs. The arginine has the beneficial effects on wound healing by the action of its metabolites, including vasodilatation, bactericide, growth factors recruitment and collage formation. Nevertheless, its supplement and mechanism in patients with diabetes is still remains unproven. This study aims at (1) defining the effects of arginine supplement, on top of the traditional treatment and risk reduction, on healing outcomes of patients with DFUs, (2) studying the modes of action of arginine supplements in diabetes, and (3) verifying the metabolomics factors and their association with wound healing prospects in patients with DFUs. A total of 120 patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcer will be enrolled and survey in 3 years. Along with standard of care, patients will receive, in a randomized fashion, either arginine (treatment group) or whey protein (control group) 5 g per day supplement for 4 weeks. The wound status will be collected with features in wound size, tissue perfusion, and infection status before and after treatment. Nutritional surveys, nitrogen balance as well as various molecular studies such as metabolomics analysis and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio will be performed to study the association between the molecules of nutrients and the healing
The objective of the Urica Cor Intervention (URICORI) trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a one-year, intervention of modifiable risk factors for CVD administered in a rheumatology outpatient clinical setting, compared with conventional treatment for modifiable risk factors for CVD in people with gout.
One of the primary risk factors for the development of diabetes is obesity. While even moderate weight loss achieved by dieting can lead to improvements in metabolic health, reduced-calorie diets are notoriously difficult to sustain. Over the past decade, a number of groups have shown that low protein diets are associated with metabolic health in both rodents and humans. In particular, specific building blocks of protein- the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine - are associated with insulin resistance and diabetes in humans. Blood levels of the BCAAs decrease in humans fed a low protein diet, and we recently showed that reducing either dietary BCAAs or protein rapidly restored normal body composition and insulin sensitivity to diet-induced obese mice without reducing calorie intake. Current study will test the metabolic role of dietary BCAAs in humans by completing an adequately powered, randomized controlled study. A total of 132 subjects stratified by gender will be randomized to one of three groups: 1) Control; 2) Low Protein; 3) Low BCAA. Subjects in each group will replace two meals a day (and 2/3rds of their baseline dietary protein) with meal replacement beverages based on either complete protein powder or a BCAA-free medical food for two months. Primary outcomes will be weight and fasting blood glucose levels. A number of secondary outcomes will also be assessed and blood, adipose, and fecal samples will be collected for integrated transcriptional and metabolomic pathway analysis to identify and compare the metabolic pathways affected by low protein and low BCAA diets.
This study will test whether adding sleep hygiene education and support to diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) in diverse patients (African American, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and Caucasian) with type 2 diabetes myelitis (T2DM) from rural UAMS Regional Programs clinics is more effective than DSMES alone. The specific aims for this study are: - Aim 1A (Primary): Determine if this model improves blood glucose levels as measured by the HbA1c test in diverse adults with T2DM. - Aim 1B: Determine the preliminary effectiveness of DSMES+SHES on sleep duration and sleep quality, blood pressure, fasting lipids, body mass index (BMI), self-management behavior, self-efficacy, diabetes-related distress, and diabetes-related quality of life in diverse adults with T2DM. - Aim 2A: Determine the feasibility and acceptability of DSMES+ SHES when implemented with diverse adults with T2DM. - Aim 2B: Determine the feasibility and acceptability of DSMES+ SHES implementation in Regional Programs clinics.
Audit and feedback is an extensively investigated quality intervention, which according to the last Cochrane review leads to small but potentially important improvements in professional practice. There is some evidence that feedback can improve EHR registration but the effect and important features of feedback are still the subject of debate. Previous work has identified some testable and theory-informed hypotheses for designing an audit and feedback intervention and suggestions to improve the effectiveness of the intervention are available in literature. There are several criteria feedback could meet to have an impact on the registration level of GP's in the EHR. The researchers now want to evaluate if the effort to make an extended feedback intervention has an effect on the registration behavior of the GP. The research question is: Does an audit and extended feedback intervention improves the quality of registration in the EHR of the general physician compared to basic feedback?
The overall objective is to examine the influence of various services provided by the community pharmacy on patients' diabetes and diabetes-related health outcomes.
The present study seeks to tailor the original Program ACTIVE (Adults Coming Together to Increase Vital Exercise) to meet the cultural norms and needs of adult Black men with comorbid Type 2 diabetes and depression by using focus groups comprised of Black men with Type 2 diabetes. The use of peer perspectives allows for an improved strategy to reach, retain, and improve outcomes in this population. Following the tailoring of program materials, the intervention (Program ACTIVE) will be facilitated with Black men with comorbid Type 2 diabetes and depression using evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy and community-based exercise interventions.
