Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of melatonin in control of blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
Nocturnal hypertension is recognized via ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Melatonin, (as previously seen in earlier studies in adults), may alter these changes, which may be a benefit especially for patients with diabetes mellitus who are at risk for cardiovascular changes. The purpose of this study is to estimate the use of melatonin as treatment for nocturnal hypertension in young adults with type 1 diabetes melitus.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the different combination of acupoints have different effect on diabetic gastroparalysis.
This observational study is designed to examine the glycaemic responses (of sedentary, active and very active healthy individuals) to a 50gram dose of glucose.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of nutrition education-based low glycemic diet intervention on community diabetic patients. Design: Randomized clinical trial. Main measures: HbA1c,fasting blood glucose(FBG),2 hours postprandial blood glucose（2hPG）
Participants were examined using the methods reported previous. All chemical laboratory data were obtained at each clinic visit in the morning in a non-fasting state. A single specimen at each visit was used to assess urinary albumin levels based on the 2009 guidelines of the ADA. CBP was measured once in each clinic visit. HBP was measured every day in the morning within 10 minutes after awakening in the sitting position, but HBP value assessed for this study used the value measured once in the same morning at each clinic visit. Clinic hypertension (CH) and morning hypertension (MH) were defined as systolic BP (SBP) 130 mmHg and/or diastolic BP (DBP) 85 mmHg; clinic normotension (CN) and morning normotension (MN) were defined as SBP <130 mmHg and DBP <85 mmHg, respectively. The reason underlying that same threshold was used for both clinic and morning values was based on criteria of the 1999 WHO-International Society of Hypertension guidelines, because this study started in 1999. Based on HBP, subjects were divided into MH and MN patients, and anti-hypertensive drug use was determined in each group. In addition, based on CBP, subjects were divided into CH and CN patients. These patients were followed using the same methods used for MH and MN patients. Outcome considered only the first event in each subject. Primary end-point was death from any cause. Secondary end-points were new, worsened, or improved microvascular and macrovascular events. Risk factors related to each outcome were determined, and therapy which was added to baseline used for each disease in patients with MH was recorded at base- and end-points. All results are presented as means ± SD. Mean values were compared using the paired or unpaired student t test. To compare the prevalence of events or medical treatment in patients with and without HT on basis of HBP or CBP, Fisher's exact test with two-tailed P values was used, and then hazard ratio and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Differences in outcomes between patients with HT and NT on basis of HBP or CBP at base- and end-points in the home or in the clinic, respectively, were assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and then compared by hazard rate using the log-rank test. Risk factors determined to be statistically related to outcomes were assessed by Cox proportional hazard analysis.
An open-labeled phase II study to investigate preliminary efficacy using p53 gene therapy in treatment of diabetes concurrent with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The Psychoneuroimmunotherapy (PNIT) is the study, modification and implementation of the interactions between the processes of adaptive behavior, neurological, endocrine and immune. Among its premises assuming homeostasis or physiological balance as an integrated process involving the systems above mentioned. Additionally, among the basics theme the re-mean is introduced, ie changing the direction, the function of a concept from a negative context carry a positive meaning, so that from the PNIT no disease is seen as a problem but as a situation to solve. The patient then transmits the importance of which will come. Primary objective: To investigate whether patients on PNIT have a higher proportion of patients achieving disease control (<7% in glycosylated hemoglobin (HBAC1) and quality of life compared with conventional treatment patients. Methodology: quasi-experimental, simple blind, simple blind, parallel, phase III clinical trial The investigators will follow a group of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus durgin three months with an interim analysis a month after receiving the intervention (two visits) During each visit a trained PNIT physician assess the effectiveness, safety and quality of life of each patient. The investigators will include male or female patients aged 18 years-old with diabetes mellitus type II in any severity, uncontrolled (> 7% Glycosilated Haemoglobin (HbAc1)) and any treatment regimen included. The patients are not allocated by a random process and the investigators will have a convenience sample The investigators will perform an intention to treat analysis, patients will be analyzed according to the intervention received even if this was different from the one they were assigned.
To quantify the local prevalence of diabetes mellitus in critically ill patients. To understand whether a correlation does exist between premorbid glycaemic control and glycaemic status in ICU. A subgroup analysis will be conducted to investigate whether a relationship does exist between Neuron Specific Enolase levels and glycaemic disorders.
This clinical trial is designed to test the efficacy of a portable closed-loop artificial pancreas (AP) system using the Zone-Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm on the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) platform in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The system will also have additional fault detection algorithms designed to detect sensor failure as well as infusion set failure. The fault detection algorithms will be implemented via the remote monitoring software and clinical staff will be alerted to potential failures to assist with clinical care.
