Filter by:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a significant burden on the patients and the health care system. The increasing number of surgery performed in elderly population results in an increased number of perioperative T2DM-related adverse effects. T2DM has a prevalence of 30-40% in a population undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Cardiac surgery, especially cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is also known to deteriorate respiratory mechanics. The vascular effects of T2DM are well characterized, however, its effects on the mechanical properties of the respiratory system or the exhaled carbon-dioxide concentration curve (capnogram) during and following CPB are yet to be fully discovered. Therefore, the study is aimed at characterizing the respiratory consequences of T2DM, i.e.: i: deteriorations of airway function that might be a result of smooth muscle dysfunction; ii: deterioration of the viscoelastic properties of the lung as a result of lung volume loss or structural changes, iii: exploring whether the changes of respiratory mechanics caused by cardiac surgery exhibit a different time course in T2DM and control patients. The study also aims at characterizing the effects of T2DM on capnogram parameters: i: whether it influences capnogram shape factors, ii: whether any differences can be detected in the dead-space parameters and iii: whether cardiac surgery has a different effect on capnogram parameters in T2DM patients compared to controls.
This study evaluates micro-vascular changes in patients with diabetes. Results of diseased retinas will be compared to healthy controls.
In this study, the effect of an electronic device attached to a push through pill package and a smart phone application on chronic disease medication adherence is studied.
This clinical study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Gastrin treatment with islet transplantation to help patients with difficult to control type 1 diabetes make insulin again and improve blood sugar control. This study involves two investigational (experimental) products not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment for any disease: 1. Human allogenic islet cells (islet cells from a deceased, unrelated human donor) 2. Gastrin-17 (Gastrin) - a hormone secreted by the gut
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of non-alcoholic beer in patients with type 2 diabetes. Subjects will be divided into two groups: the control group, where participants will be consuming a bottle of water (330ml) every day for 12 weeks, and the intervention group, where participants will be consuming a bottle of non-alcoholic beer (330ml) for the same period.
This study will advance the investigator's knowledge of the integrated cardiorenal and humoral physiology in type 2 diabetic patients with and without pre-clinical diastolic dysfunction, and test a novel therapeutic strategy which may prevent a progression to symptomatic Stage C heart failure
This is a randomized prospective study aiming to compare drug-coated balloons and stent deployment in Popliteal atherosclerotic occlusive lesions.
International Diabetes Federation estimates that there are now 415 million adults aged 20-79 with diabetes mellitus worldwide. By 2040 this will rise to 640 million. Although diabetes mellitus is highly prevalent in our environment and one of the most important challenges of modern medicine, only a handful of studies have examined the neuromuscular function in diabetic patients. The shortage of publications in this area is still more surprising if we consider that the neuromuscular blockers are one of the pillars in the administration of general anesthesia. Neuromuscular blockers during surgery are used in tracheal intubation and to improve surgical conditions.
Introduction: Recent studies have suggested that trimetazidine may help reduce myocardial damage following percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the evaluation of the potential of this medication in the reduction of myocardial damage in patients with diabetes mellitus and unstable angina, in a prospective and randomized way, has not yet been described. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of trimetazidine versus placebo in patients with diabetes mellitus and unstable angina undergoing coronary stent angioplasty. Methodology: For this, a unicentric, randomized, double blind and prospective study will be performed in a comparative manner. Hospital data (test results, medical outcomes, drug dose, complications) of patients will be analyzed for safety and effectiveness. Myocardial damage will be measured by means of ultrasensitive Troponin dosages. Expected results: The use of trimetazidine reduces myocardial damage in patients with diabetes mellitus and unstable angina undergoing coronary stent angioplasty.
The situation of diabetes management in China is serious. To set up hierarchical medical system is necessary, though there was no mature or effective diabetes management model in the mainland. To explore a new path for hierarchical medical system, we would localize the share care model of diabetes management in Taiwan. Diabetic experts, diabetic educators and community doctors would use interactive information platform and self-glucose monitor with application on mobile phone to manage diabetic patients together. The model will be applied in six diabetic centers, and patients we will be managed in the new model and followed, and at the same time patients that managed in the conventional model in the real world, the differences of proportion who achieve a composite goal will be compared yearly for 5 years.
