Filter by:This randomized clinical trial will examine the effect of inforatio technique on healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Inforatio technique is a novel procedure developed by the research group. The definition of inforatio technique is application of small cuts in wound beds with punch biopsy tools without involving surrounding epithelia. The aim is to initiate an acute inflammatory response that will promote healing of the ulcers.
This study evaluated the efficacy of epalrestat in diabetic peripheral neuropathy and its effects on the central nervous system in diabetic peripheral neuropathy subjects.
Telecare consultation, which is defined as a two-way synchronized visual (voice and image) communication between patients and healthcare professionals using telecommunication applications such as Zoom, has become a major trend in recent years. The current COVID-19 pandemic provides an impetus to drive change and increase the uptake of telecare consultation in healthcare. To the best of investigators' knowledge, there is no translational research available that simultaneously implements and evaluates the telecare model of care delivered in a primary care setting. The present study will be the first in Hong Kong to fill this service and knowledge gap in the care of DM patients.
To acquire blood samples from subjects for various purposes, including: i) determining the sensitivity and specificity of select DNA methylation markers for the detection of various types of cancer, ii) identifying benign conditions that may induce false positive or false negative results, and iii) defining the effects of potential interfering substances, such as chemotherapy drugs.
In the current project, primary health care patients with mental illness such as anxiety, depression, fatigue or sleep disorders will be followed. The study includes both health conversations with the health curve as a systematic work with lifestyle habits, and the biochemical risk marker copeptin with a focus on improved lifestyle habits and the development of cardiovascular complications. Participants will be followed up at 12 and 24 months with renewed health interview including the health curve and blood sampling. National registries will be used for a, up to 20 year long follow-up regarding cardiovascular complications and mortality.
The purpose of the study is to develop and evaluate a multi-level intervention aimed at increasing access and use of patient portals for diabetes management (MAP) in community health centers (CHCs).
The purpose of this study is to investigate if repeat bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccinations can confer a beneficial immune and metabolic effect on pediatric Type 1 diabetes.
The study is designed as a prospective randomized, controlled, double-blinded phase II trial to examine the effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin, in comparison with placebo on cardiovascular outcome parameters in kidney failure patients undergoing replacement therapy with hemodialysis. The primary endpoint is the change (∆) in left ventricular mass indexed to body surface area (LVMi) from baseline to 6 months measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Null and alternative hypotheses: H0: There is no difference in the ∆ Left Ventricular Mass indexed to BSA after six months of treatment, comparing patients having received the SGLT2-Inhibitor Dapagliflozin versus placebo. H1: There is a difference in the ∆ Left Ventricular Mass indexed to BSA comparing patients having received the SGLT2-Inhibitor Dapagliflozin versus placebo.
Two types of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (excluding monogenic diseases) can be distinguished in children: those similar to adult diseases but with an early onset (type 1 diabetes, inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, rheumatoid arthritis with anti-CCP antibodies) and those specific to children that are not described in adults (early-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis with anti-nuclear and anterior uveitis). The familial and nosological aggregations suggest that these diseases are probably polygenically determined, and result from interactions with the environment. In a singular way, the incidence of "adult" diseases is increasing while the age of onset is getting earlier; conversely, there is no increase in early-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis. On the other hand, the influence of early events that may alter the microbiotic environment is different for different diseases: whereas cesarean section (or early antibiotic therapy) has been shown to increase the risk of JIA and T1DM, it does not seem to change the risk of IBD. We hypothesize that environmental factors, particularly those related to diet and bacterial and fungal digestive microbiota - are different between these disease categories.
Cardiac thromboembolism attributed to atrial fibrillation (AF) constitutes at least one-third of ischemic strokes. Indeed, stroke may be the first manifestation of previously undetected AF. The prevalence is projected to increase 20% the coming decades, especially in age group 65 years and above of age. To add to incidence, the diabetic population have an increased risk yet not properly investigated. In patients with confirmed AF, assessment using the CHA2DS2-VASc score (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age 65 years and above, diabetes mellitus, stroke, vascular disease, age 75 years and above, sexual category), is applied for risk stratification. If the CHA2DS2-VASc score is at least 1, or definitely 2 points typically a non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) should be prescribed. The chest- and thumb-electrocardiogram (ECG) system Coala Heart Monitor has proven efficacious in detecting AF following recent cryptogenic stroke. This system also showed to be feasible from a patient perspective. Thus, in patients aged 65 years and above with diabetes mellitus at least 2 points are reached. Therefore, patient with these risk factors should be considered for further evaluation for NOAC to prevent stroke, which provides the rational for this study.
