Filter by:Obesity is a global public health problem. According to literature reports, as of 2016, China's obese population has reached more than 90 million and type 2 diabetes mellitus has reached more than 100 million, which has brought a serious health and economic burden to China. In addition to various health problems such as cardiovascular, osteoarthritis, and tumors, obesity can also cause abnormalities in reproductive endocrine. In women, it can cause abnormal menstruation, polycystic ovary syndrome, and male obesity can cause secondary gonadal. Hypofunction (MOSH). MOSH is an endocrine dysfunction. It is reported to have a prevalence of approximately 45% in moderate to severe obesity. In addition, studies have pointed out that the prevalence of hypogonadism in men with type 2 diabetes and obesity higher. However, there are no studies on the reproductive function of Chinese male patients after bariatric surgery. Pre- and post-operative semen will be collected for analysis to observe the effect of bariatric surgery on male reproductive function.
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (NASH), are a frequent complication of type 2 diabetes and obesity. This disease has been linked with an increased morbidity and mortality, in particular cardiovascular disease and hepatic complications (cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma). NAFLD is covered different liver damage in ascending order: steatosis, Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and finally cirrhosis. Mostly, fibrosis has a determining role in the patient's status health. The fibrosis prevalence rate may reach up to 15 % of people with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of the study is to screen hepatic fibrosis for patient with type 2 diabetes. To be sure of the status of the disease, the gold standard procedure remains liver biopsy. However, it's an invasive procedure and it's a challenge to perform this kind of medical procedure to every patient with NAFLD. Some alternative procedure exists, called FibroScan that gives some indication of liver fibrosis status. Unfortunately, every diabetologist hasn't this equipment in his medical office. The investigators propose to evaluate two non-invasive biological fibrosis tests, called eLIFT and FibroMeter. The results of these two diagnostic tests will be compared to FibroScan and to liver biopsy results.
Very little is known about the impact of combustion-free nicotine delivery systems (C-F NDS) on cardiovascular risk factors in T2DM patients who smoke. Data from clinical studies to identify any potential reduction in individuals' risk, relative to the risk of continued smoking, are needed. This study aims to test the hypothesis that avoiding exposure to cigarette smoke toxicants may translate to measurable improvement in cardiovascular risk factors and functional parameters when T2DM patients who smoke switch to using C-F NDS compared with T2DM patients who continue to smoke conventional tobacco products. The investigators propose a prospective 2-year multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate changes in cardiovascular risk factors and functional parameters in diabetic smokers using C-F NDS and compared to those continuing cigarette smoking.
To develop and implement quality improvement programs for the treatment and management of hypertension and diabetes,and preventing and controlling hypertension and diabetes-related diseases in Chinese community. This program will use data collection, analysis, feedback, and process improvement to extend the use of evidence-based guidelines throughout the healthcare system and improve patient care of hypertension and diabetes in Chinese community.
One way to help Veterans improve their diabetes control is through the use of technology to help provide information, motivation, and reminders necessary to support diabetes self-management. The study will seek input from diverse groups of Veterans living with diabetes to help develop DD-TXT, a new customizable, interactive texting intervention that allows Veterans to choose what kinds of diabetes self-management support they need, and when. This diabetes support will be provided to Veterans through "Annie", a new VA texting system for self-management support. Patients will be randomized to receive DD-TXT or an education-only texting intervention called DSE that is based on a diabetes skills workbook in order to test the comparative effectiveness of DD-TXT.
Oxygen is required for an optimal muscle function. In patients with diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia can cause vascular complications. The endothelium (inter layer of the blood vessels) can be damaged leading to a reduced oxygen flow towards the muscle cells. Besides, it is possible that mitochondrial dysfunction is occuring leading to reduced extraction of oxygen. Both conditions will lead to a reduced flow of oxygen towards the muscle and this can have impact on the production of energy necessary for optimal functioning. In this study, the investigators will examine the functionality of the blood vessels (1) and the uptake of oxygen into the muscles (2) in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and type 2 (with and without vascular complications) compared to healthy persons.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known not only for its widespread prevalence, but also for its significant complications including cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery disease, renal failure, vision loss, and neuropathy. Of particular importance to sexual medicine, diabetes has also been strongly associated with erectile dysfunction (ED).ED is defined as the inability to obtain and/or maintain the erection firm enough to achieve a successful sexual intercourse on a regular basis. It is a more common condition in males with type 2 DM. In the field of sexual medicine numerous studies have shown that extracorporal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is safe, noninvasive, and, most importantly, an effective method for treating vascular ED
Diabetes mellitus is a major and growing problem worldwide with many known micro and macrovascular complications. According to International Diabetes Federation, there were 285 million adults diagnosed with diabetes in 2010 and expected to increase to 439 million adult in 2030. It is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) followed by hypertension, glomerulonephritis, and cystic kidney disease. Renal impairment patients metabolize and excrete drugs differently from patients with normal renal function and hence only limited number of oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA) available for them. One of the choices is sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) which is now widely used. Apart from its nephroprotective advantage, it also has additional benefit on cardiovascular and renal function based on EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial. One of the examples of SGLT2i is Empagliflozin (JARDIANCE) tablet, which has FDA U.S. Approval in 2014. It acts by reduces renal reabsorption of filtered glucose and lowers the renal threshold for glucose, thus increases urinary glucose excretion. It can cause osmotic diuresis, which may lead to intravascular volume contraction. Apart from its additional cardiovascular and nephroprotective effect, SGLT2 inhibitor might have additional protective effect to the eye. Nowadays, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) has emerged as one of a non-invasive methods to study the microvasculature of the retina and choroid. Many studies had discussed regarding-pre clinical changes present on OCT-A in patients without clinical diabetic retinopathy. These pre-clinical changes includes capillary dropout, microaneurysm, neovascularization, venous beading and enlargement of fovea avascular zone. However, there are minimal data and publications on different type of diabetic CKD with OCT-A parameters in diabetic patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of short term SGLT2 inhibition on OCT-A parameters (fovea avascular zone (FAZ) size, vessel density and perfusion density) in diabetic CKD.
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
