Filter by:This is a cross-sectional study of six hundred adults with type 2 diabetes, (300 White and 300 African-American) who will be recruited from two primary care sites to determine how social determinants of health impact diabetes outcomes. The first aim is to investigate the role of psychosocial factors and SES on diabetes care processes and outcomes. The second aim is to investigate the influence of community and neighborhood characteristics on diabetes care processes and outcomes. Finally, we will examine the contribution of social determinants of health to ethnic differences in diabetes care processes and outcomes. Clinical and metabolic measures will be abstracted from the electronic medical records. Outcome variables include hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure, LDL-Cholesterol and quality of life.
Randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of a text messaging intervention in a low income, low health literacy group of Latino patients. Project Dulce 2.0 (PD 2.0) will address barriers to participation in health education classes, increasing adherence to treatment and medications and improving diabetes self management behaviors and skills. Two community clinic organizations that provide services to a large proportion of Latino patients with type 2 diabetes will participate to randomize 200 patients into one of 2 arms: standard diabetes management care (control) only or text messaging and standard care. Comparisons between groups will evaluate clinical, behavioral and psychosocial outcomes. Intervention: Standard Care and Text Messaging. All participants will receive standard diabetes care provided by primary care providers at the clinic. Of the 100 that are randomized to the intervention arm will be given instructions on how the text messaging component will be addressed throughout the duration of the study.
The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety of the study drug in healthy participants and participants with diabetes. It will investigate how much of the study drug gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it. Information about any side effects that may occur will also be collected. The study consists of two parts. Part A will study healthy participants in up to 3 dosing periods over approximately 6 weeks. Part B will study participants with diabetes in up to 3 dosing periods over approximately 6 weeks.
Resolute zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES) system (Medtronic, USA) has been world-wildly used in treating patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The State Food and Drug Administration of China has approved qualification of RESOLUTE zotarolimus-eluting stent system in 2010. It has been reported that RESOLUTE stent may be more suitable for DM patients and FDA has approved diabetic coronary lesion as a indication for using Resolute stent. Here the investigators set out a multicenter, non-inferiority study: the efficacy and safety of RESOLUTE zotarolimus-eluting stents in treatment of Chinese diabetes (RESOLUTE-DIABETES CHINA) in purpose of identifying the efficacy and safety in Asia CAD correlated with diabetic population.
The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety of the study drug in healthy participant and participant with diabetes. It will investigate how much of the study drug gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it. Information about any side effects that may occur will also be collected. The study consists of two parts. Part A will study healthy participants in up to 4 dosing periods over approximately 6 weeks. Part B will study participants with diabetes in up to 3 dosing periods over approximately 5 weeks.
The investigators propose a 6 month pre-post, pilot,feasibility study with up to 25 individuals among veterans with cardiovascular disease risk factors including Hypertension (HT), Diabetes Mellitis (DM) and Hyperlipidemia (HL) who receive care from the hospital-based primary care clinics associated with Durham VAMC. The investigators will examine veteran's perception and ease of using an innovative tool to help improve medication adherence to cardiovascular medications. This study aims to focus on patients with multiple chronic conditions and their caregivers to address 1) appropriate use of medications 2)maximize patient self-care and care by families and other caregivers 3) make available a tool for medication management 4) managing complex regimens, and 5) addressing health literacy.
The goal of this project is to implement a Collaborative Translational Research Center (TRC) Network Study which aims to assure optimal two-way communication between ophthalmologists and their patients' primary care physicians (PCP). The Collaborative TRC Network Study will have 2 objectives: - To design and develop common research protocols to develop a 4-year retrospective database (2007-2010) that compiles electronic billing and medical chart information that can be used to study individual-level, clinical-level and system-level factors that impact access to and quality of vision care; - To evaluate adherence to dilated fundus exams (DFEs) follow-up as the primary measureable quality indicator, and its relationship to the patients' demographics, ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR), other ocular and medical co-morbidities, presence of HA1C, and primary care provider (PCP) communication. By enhancing communication and strengthening the clinical information exchanged between PCPs and eye care professionals, this Collaborative TRC Network study will help to overcome barriers to obtaining ongoing DFEs and reduce disparities in vision care utilization.
Using glucocorticoid induced diabetes (GID) we will conduct a small feasibility randomized intervention trial to improve GID management for veterans who are prescribed chronic glucocorticoids. Approximately 20 primary care providers (caring for approximately 100 veterans on chronic steroids) will receive decisional support (automatically-derived orders for hemoglobin A1C, to be co-signed by providers). Approximately 20 providers (caring for 100 veterans) who did not receive decisional support will serve as the control population. We will measure the time from randomization until the provider signs an order for hemoglobin A1C for both groups. The trial will be conducted at the VA's Eastern Colorado Health Care System (ECHCS) and will last approximately 6 months. After the completion of the trial for each provider, we will conduct a brief interview and survey of the participating providers to assess the acceptability of decisional support interventions to manage GID [protocol, page 1-2]. No patient data (PHI) will be collected by the providers.
Diabetic men and controls are examined for retrograde ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction is registered with a validated questionaire (International Index of Erectile Function-15). Concentration, total number of sperm and motility is determined in freshly delivered ejaculates and postejaculatory urine. Our hypothetis is that diabetics exhibit significantly higher rate of retrograde ejaculation than healthy controls.
An unblinded, randomized, cross-over design with each patient participating in two 40-hour outpatient admissions: (a) Experimental involving automated Control-to-Range (CTR) and (b) Control using Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)-augmented insulin pump treatment outside of a hospital based clinical research center.
