Filter by:The study will begin in 2013 whereby patients having an early warning system (EWS) alert will be randomized to be seen by the rapid response team (RRT) for triage versus usual care. A RRT is usually made up of a nurse and/or a physician who respond to a requested activation of the RRT (called an "ACT"). The intervention will occur as follows:
Background and Objectives : The presence of vitamin D deficiency in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aim to see whether supplementation of vitamin D in these patients helps to improve the endothelial function (EF) a surrogate marker of CVD risk. Hypothesis: Vitamin D supplementation in patients with T2DM and low serum 25(OH) D concentrations (<30ng/ml) will improve EF as measured by the Endo-PAT machine by 0.4 units (30% improvement over baseline) and/or will result in a increase of EPCs (CD133+/KDR+) and CD45dim CD34+/KDR. The investigators will test this hypothesis by comparing 2 groups of T2DM patients randomized to placebo or vitamin D3 for 16 weeks. Methods: This is a 16 weeks trial in which 120 T2DM patients will be screened with the aim to recruit 60 T2DM patients with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency. Out of these 60 patients , 30 patients will be started on vitamin D supplementation and 30 patients will be given a matched placebo. Endothelial function (EF) will be checked before and after supplementation to see a change in EF. Significance of Project: If this study shows a significant improvement of EF, it would justify larger scale studies to show that vitamin D supplementation in patients with T2DM mitigates CVD risk and vitamin D supplementation in patients with T2DM and vitamin D deficiency to improve CVD risk.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a lipid infusion can up-regulate toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling in human subjects
To evaluate pain responses using the Aurora lancing device and Velvet 33g lancet compared to other common, commercially available lancing systems. Subjects will test the devices at a depth setting sufficient to provide enough blood volume to trigger the OneTouch® Ultra®Mini blood glucose meter using OneTouch® Ultra® blood glucose test strips from either the fingertip or alternate site testing.
Sleep intervention for youth with diabetes
Computerized cognitive training (CCT) is an intervention has improved cognitive functioning in the elderly with and without cognitive impairment. The investigators will study the effect of a CCT program over an active control, "classic" computerized games. The outcomes will be memory and executive functions/attention, diabetes elf-management and adherence to medications, and glycemic and blood pressure control. Non-demented elderly Veterans with diabetes mellitus, who are at high risk for cognitive impairment, will be from the James J. Peters, Bronx, NY and Ann Arbor, MI VAMCs. This novel potential service fits the portfolio of the Quality Enhancement Research Initiative for Diabetes Mellitus (QUERI-DM) for which the Ann Arbor VAMC is a primary center. If successful, the VA National Center for Prevention and MyHeatheVet will collaborate in disseminating results to encourage implementation throughout the VA
The proposed mechanistic formula feeding study sets out to identify the mechanism(s) by which an extensively hydrolyzed casein formula is able to protect children at risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D) from beta-cell autoimmunity.
This trial will compare the use of the FDC of empagliflozin and linagliptin to linagliptin alone as add-on to metformin in patients with T2DM.
This study is designed to examine the efficacy and safety of 2 dose levels of weekly subcutaneously injected albiglutide compared with placebo and an open label reference arm of daily subcutaneous injections of liraglutide, in Japanese subjects with Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
This clinical trial aims to test whether glibenclamide is non-inferior to insulin for the treatment of gestational diabetes.
