Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the superiority of esmolol echocardiography over conventional echocardiography in the diagnosis of subclinical myocardial involvement associated with diabetes mellitus 2, cirrhosis and antineoplastic treatments.
The goal of this multi-center, cross-sectional, observational study is to test and compare the difference of the supraspinatus tendon's elasticity between diabetics and healthy people. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Ultrasonic characteristics of supraspinatus tendon in diabetic patients - Influencing factors of elastic value and thickness of supraspinatus tendon Participants will be asked to: - Perform ultrasound examination of the shoulder join. - Fill in a survey with certain questions on their basic information.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the fastest growing public health problems in developed and developing countries and imposes a large financial burden on health-care systems. Preventing, delaying, and managing diabetes should be a priority for health-care systems. Nationally, 38% of adults have prediabetes, with more than 80% of people with prediabetes being unaware of their condition. In Maryland, an estimated 10.5% of adults report prediabetes, and 33.7% of Baltimore City residents have obesity, an important risk factor for prediabetes. The BMDRP aims to increase the capacity of BMDRP hospitals and community partners to offer DPP and DSMT directly in communities and will also increase the number of referrals into these programs. Successful enrollment and completion of DPP has demonstrated reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes for individuals with pre-diabetes. However, limited data exist on changes in body composition and liver fat in individuals completing DPP. Individuals with pre-diabetes often have obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We will evaluate for changes in body fat and liver fat in individuals completing the DPP program.
This study aims to evaluate the comparative risk of dementia/Alzheimer's disease onset between patients treated with medications that target specific metabolic pathways and patients treated with alternative medications for the same indication.
The goal of this cross-over study in obese subjects is to learn about the common co-morbidity type 2 diabetes and the local formation of ketone bodies. The type of study is an exploratory trial with the participants as own controls. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does food intake-induced ketogenesis exist in the small intestine of obese individuals? 2. Are insulin resistance, the incretin GLP-1 release and the glucose transporter SGLT1 affected in obese individuals without type 2 diabetes in the same way as those with type 2 diabetes?
Open-source artificial pancreas system has been applied in clinical settings abroad for several years, and its safety and effectiveness has been reported by many literature. However, there is no reporting of its clinical application in China. Taking the inpatients with diabetes in the Department of Endocrinology as the starting point of research, participants would like to explore the safety and efficacy of open source artificial pancreas system in domestic clinical application, further to promote the development and landing of artificial pancreas technology in China, and finally to provide better treatment options for the majority of diabetes patients in China.
To explore the risk factors influencing glycemic status, optimized treatment, and prognosis of post-chronic pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM-C).
Hypothesis: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with pancreatic fibrosis that can be evaluated by minimally invasive imaging techniques. That fibrosis is associated with alteration of exocrine pancreatic function, defined as a reduced secretion of pancreatic enzymes and the development of nutritional deficiencies. To test that hypothesis, a prospective, observational, cross-sectional, comparative, case-control study has been designed. Pancreatic fibrosis will be evaluated by endoscopic ultrasound and quantitative elastography in cases (type-2 diabetes) and age-gender-matched controls without diabetes. Pancreatic function will be explored by fecal elastase test and nutritional evaluation. Calculated sample size is 94 patients (47 cases and 47 controls). Study period is 2 years.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of a weight management programme in primary care in achieving diabetes remission in obese patients with early diabetes. Potential participants are to attend a screening visit to determine eligibility. Eligible participants will be invited to participate in the trial within 3 months of screening visit. 120 participants will be recruited into the study and randomised into 2 arms: control group (60 participants) or intervention group (60 participants). Control group: Participants randomised to the control group will receive usual care with their healthcare team. Intervention group: Participants randomised to the intervention group will be put on a weight management programme with the aim of achieving weight loss of at least 15% body weight or 15kg. Researchers will compare between control and intervention groups to see if a weight management programme is effective in achieving diabetes remission in obese patients with early diabetes, compared to usual care.
Osteoporosis is a condition that describes compromised skeletal microarchitecture in general, with clinical signs of decreased bone mineral density. Diabetes mellitus patients are at increased risk for developing osteoporosis. Identifying whether multiple sclerosis patients have information and awareness about this disease is crucial. This study is aimed to investigate awareness and knowledge of osteoporosis in diabetes mellitus patients.
