Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of topiramate compared with placebo in obese, Type 2 diabetic patients on a controlled diet.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether lowering the amount of iron in the body will result in less resistance to insulin and improved liver function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This may result in better diabetes control and/or a decrease in the amount of liver fat.
Dialysis patients suffer from many problems with blood vessels and this is even more so for patients with the added complication of diabetes. Diabetics have a number of reasons for vascular disease and one of the new areas of research is looking at the cells that line the blood vessels, called endothelial cells. It is thought that the number of red blood cells in the blood (haemoglobin concentration) affects the function of these cells. There is very little information available on what haemoglobin level is best for dialysis patients. As diabetics account for almost 40% of dialysis patients worldwide it is important to understand the effect different haemoglobin levels will have on the blood vessels. Hypothesis: Endothelial cell function and the related expansile capacity of blood vessels are affected by different haemoglobin concentrations [Hb] in dialysis patients.
Assesses physician compliance with paper-based and electronic guidelines, reminders, and alerts for outpatient settings. Target areas for the reminders and alerts are disease management, medication management, and interpretation of abnormal test results.
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of pioglitazone, once daily (QD), compared to glimepiride on atherosclerotic disease measured by intravascular ultrasound.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the effects of pioglitazone, once daily (QD), versus glimepiride on the amount of thickening of the carotid artery.
This pilot study hypothesizes that diagnosed and undiagnosed prevalence of diabetes mellitus may differ across antipsychotioc medications in a community mental health center. The study further hypothesizes that control of diabetes among diagnosed cases may be suboptimal.
This study will explore how culture influences the use of folk healing practices and medical services in Latinos with chronic medical conditions.
The goal of this study is to identify objective differences between primary care and traditional medicine residents in clinical performance, continuity of care and utilization of resources. Specifically, this retrospective study will analyze the database collected by CLIMACS, the computer system at Cornell Internal Medicine Associates (CIMA). This system is used for clinical and administrative purposes; it manages and tracks patient's information and demographics, appointment booking, clinical diagnosis, prescriptions and medications, laboratory and radiology test, and consults. In our study, we will analyze a subset of the CLIMACS database from previous years.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy can learn to change the way they walk in order to reduce the pressures underneath the feet, which may lead to a reduced risk of foot ulceration.
