Filter by:The overall goal of SIBS-GENOMICS is to utilize the best available contextual data on stroke in Africa to develop & validate stroke risk estimation models, translate the best model into a mobile phone app and conduct a randomized control trial of the app with a co-created motivational education video, to determine their effectiveness for improvement of stroke risk factor awareness and global risk reduction among Africans.
This mixed method study includes a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) and qualitative methods to assess the impact of a SMS text strategy in diabetes control among persons who experience homelessness.
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether insulin glargine reduces the risk of serious hypoglycemia or improves Time in Range at 6 months when compared against standard of care human insulin (e.g. NPH or premixed 70/30) among youth living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in low resource settings.
This study aims to evaluate the impact of simvastatin on the bone density of postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes over a duration of 18 months, using a randomized controlled trial design. Aiming to recruit 240 patients, half of them will be randomly assigned to receive simvastatin treatment, while the other half will receive ezetimibe, also a lipid-lowering agent with no known effect on bone. Bone density will be measured at the baseline and the end of the study for comparison of the changes between the simvastatin and the ezetimibe groups. This is an investigator-initiated study. The principal investigator and the study team will be responsible for ensuring that the study is conducted in compliance with this protocol and the study data collected are verified against the relevant source documents. All participants will undergo clinical and biochemical assessments at baseline of the trial. Participants will be seen by an endocrinologist at baseline and subsequent follow-up visits at 3, 6, 12 and 18 months respectively.
Since the discovery of SGLT2 inhibitors, there is a great shift in diabetic treatment, so this drug is magic, this drug can reduce the blood sugar level by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney and increasing glucose excretion the first discovery by Josef von Mering who discovered the glucosuric effect of phlorizin. Phlorizin is the progenitor of contemporary SGLT2 inhibitors, the FDA did not consider the work of Baron Josef von Mering, since he had already discovered acidosis following the administration of phlorizin in 1888. Now SGLT2 inhibitors are used widely and even for heart failure without diabetes as this drug is useful and with lower risk of death from observational studies The 2008 FDA guidance had a major impact on the cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment of recently approved antidiabetic drugs, many trials were done on SGLT2 inhibitors like the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, the CANVAS trial program, MACE these groups have CVS benefits and also renal benefits as regards, we suspect long-term benefits and immunity aspect these groups play an important role in cancer incidence from meta-analysis and systematic review, suggests that SGLT2 inhibition results in a reduction of inflammatory markers like interleukin-6 in animal models, further validating the suggested anti-inflammatory mechanism of action.
In Denmark the vast majority of patients with chronic ischemic heart disease and/or type 2 diabetes are managed in general practice. 20% of the patients suffer from poor mental health. Problem-solving therapy (PST) is a psychotherapeutic method that is proven effective in adults with poor mental health. PST can be provided in general practice. The main objective of this study is to test effectiveness of providing PST to this group patients.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of uncultured adipose derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and cultured adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) both supplemented with platelet rich plasma (PRP) to treat chronic diabetic foot ulcers. It will increase the pragmatic potential of both types of cells as PRP is rich in survival and chemotactic factors. Moreover, the autologous nature of the proposed study will ensure safety of its use in diabetic patients and will unveil the more effective therapeutic option for treatment of foot ulcer wounds.
The proposed study aims to simulate a meal eaten at home, where meals will provide a fixed amount of protein from beef or vegetarian substitute "meat" balls with ad libitum access to one of mashed potatoes, full-fat fries, or pasta. Postprandial glycemia (PPG), insulin, active ghrelin, satiety, amino acid response and food intake (FI) at the meal and again 3h later (after an ad libitum pizza meal) will be measured. In addition, post-meal PPG and satiety will be measured for one hour after the second meal.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease with a rapidly increasing incidence world-wide. The disease is characterizedby a decreased glucose tolerance as a result of insulin resistance, resulting in poor blood glycaemic control. Blood glucose loweringmedications are widely available, but their effect stagnates as T2DM progresses. New treatment regimens are required to combatthe disease. Although therapies such as physical exercise have been shown to induce beneficial effects on glycaemic control inT2DM patients, not all patients are able to perform exercise. Passive heating treatment (PHT) might be an alternative strategy toreduce insulin resistance, as it has been postulated to have comparable effects on the cardiovascular system as exercise. PHT hasbeen linked to numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular- and pulmonary function, pain alleviation and metabolichealth. In addition, long term use of PHT shows promising effects on glycaemic control in T2DM patients. However, the acute effectsof PHT on glucoregulation are yet to be determined. Therefore, in this study we will assess the acute impact of passive heat treatment on the post-prandial glycaemic response during an OGTT in T2DM patients
This study focuses on individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and seeks to comprehensively study and understand several aspects of T1D including: susceptibility to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and improvement in hypoglycemia risk using of advanced diabetes technologies, such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM); the differences among individuals with T1D in the risk of chronic complications, and minimize the psychosocial impact of T1D.
