Filter by:This is a randomized controlled study to assess the effect of atorvastatin and omega 3 combination therapy compared with atorvastatin and ezetimibe combination therapy in Korean T2DM patients with asymptomatic atherosclerosis.
This is a randomized controlled study to assess the effect of choline fenofibrate compared with policosanol in Korean T2DM patients with asymptomatic atherosclerosis.
This study was designed as a randomized controlled study. It was planned to include 100 patients with type 2 diabetes who received short-term intensive insulin therapy and randomly divided them into a meal replacement intervention group and a conventional diabetes diet group according to 1:1. Both groups were treated with short-term intensive insulin therapy to control blood sugar. .
This study is assess the safety and performance of the Neurotronic Infusion catheter for treatment of patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) and hypertension.
Whilst there is an increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity worldwide, malnutrition remains common. In addition, malnutrition, overweight, and infections often interact. The consequences of malnutrition after birth are little studied. Severe acute malnutrition in childhood remains common in Africa and Asia and many adult patients with tuberculosis or HIV, diseases which are common in Africa and Asia, may become malnourished. We are interested in diabetes, which in Africa and Asia affects people at younger age and lower weight than in Europe. There is evidence that severe postnatal malnutrition increases the risk of later diabetes but the evidence is piecemeal and there is little information as to the mechanisms involved. It is thus difficult to determine what treatments or preventative strategies are appropriate. We wish to focus on the pancreas which is a key organ in digestion and metabolic processes, especially in relation to diabetes. We will investigate pancreas size, microscopic structure, hormone and digestive enzyme production, and the body's response to these hormones among groups of people in Tanzania, Zambia, India and the Philippines. These groups have participated in the research team's previous studies of malnutrition and were malnourished before birth, as children, or as adults. They now live in places with a wide range of access to foods high in fat and sugar which could affect their risk of diabetes. We will compare their pancreas function to that of never-malnourished controls at each site. We will use advanced statistical methods to understand the links between early malnutrition and later diabetes, taking into account the factors often associated with diabetes such as age, current overweight and infection. Even if we find no important link between early malnutrition and later diabetes, the research will lead to improved understanding of the long-term consequences of malnutrition and the presentation and underlying metabolism of diabetes in Africa and Asia. Thus, the project will lead to improved health care for both malnourished and diabetic people.
The overarching goal of this proposal is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a basic needs navigation intervention on improving clinical outcomes, self-care behaviors and quality of life in low-income African Americans with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) experiencing multidimensional adversity. The study objective will be achieved with the following aims: Aim 1: To determine the feasibility of a basic needs navigation intervention as measured by recruitment, session attendance and retention in low-income Africans Americans with DKD experiencing multidimensional adversity. Aim 2: To test the preliminary efficacy of a basic needs navigation intervention on clinical outcomes (hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure, lipids) in low-income Africans Americans with DKD experiencing multidimensional adversity. Hypothesis 1: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved HbA1c at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved blood pressure at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Hypothesis 3: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved lipids at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Aim 3: To test the preliminary efficacy of a basic needs navigation intervention on self-care behaviors and quality of life (SF-12) in low-income Africans Americans with DKD experiencing multidimensional adversity. Hypothesis 1: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved self-care behaviors at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved quality of life at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group.
The purpose of this study is to pilot and assess the feasibility of implementing an artificial intelligence-assisted individualized lifestyle modification intervention for glycemic control in rural populations, which can be delivered even with regular landline phone service. This study will provide us with the knowledge to plan a well-powered optimization trial in the future to develop an optimal (low-cost) intervention package that can be delivered in a sustainable manner to the rural portions of America.
The objective of this study is to identify key indicators in the follow-up of subjects with different pathologies related to both the person's environment, as well as the perception of their health and general quality of life and related to their disease. To this end, a cross-sectional observational study of qualitative data collection through questionnaires, mostly validated, has been proposed to try to identify these indicators. Based on these questionnaires, the specific objectives of this study are as follows: - Unify questionnaires - Assess data quality - Identify key indicators, through a factor analysis - Design a second reduced version of the questionnaires collecting the key indicators and eliminating those items that are exclusive to each other. In order to identify the key indicators, it will be necessary to measure at least 30 subjects from each pathological group, as well as a cohort of at least 100 subjects without pathologies in order to validate and contrast the results. The subjects will be recruited through the own databases of participants in previous trials of the Institute of Biomechanics of Valencia, who have given written consent to be contacted in order to request their participation in any other study where their profile may fit. They will also be recruited and contacted through the collaborating associations (Parkinson Valencia Association, Valencian Diabetes Association, Consorci Hospital General Universitari de València, Arnau de Vilanova Valencia Hospital). The surveys will be included in an online platform specialized in the realization of questionnaires. This data will be exported for further storage, management and analysis. All information will be anonymized for processing and analysis, and may be used under the terms and conditions dictated by the current legal framework. To participate in the study, participants must accept the terms and conditions included in the first page of the survey embedded in the online platform, where the aspects related to the study methodology and the use of them data are exposed. The statistical analysis will treat the data provided by the variables and how they are related to each other, testing differences according to the characteristics of the patient and clinical indicators. For that, non-parametric techniques such as the χ² test, the Kruskal-Wallis test and cluster analysis will be used.
This will be a prospective randomized clinical trial comprising of n=300 diabetic patients, randomized to either dynamic (n=150) or conventional MPI (n=150) strategy. Healthcare resources utilization of each patient will be tracked. Patients will be followed up for short term outcomes and for long term outcomes.
This study aims to discover, verify and evaluate the potential biomarkers with regard to the diagnosis, prognostic and/or prediction of diabetic chronic wounds.
