Filter by:The purpose of this project is to assess the introduction of an individual follow-up distance coaching (phone and messages on a secure line platform) in order to optimize the health care of type 1 diabetes children with therapy adjustment difficulties. It is a personalized, multi-disciplinary, medical et paramedical. It will consist of an individual coaching for the children and families with therapy adjustment difficulties. The hypothesis is that the proposed coaching would allow to improve the patient glycemic control not only during this coaching, but also, to bring long lasting improvement following the coaching.
Diabetes, recently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, is a risk factor for increased mortality and morbidity. Its multi-functional complications, in the short and long term, are a serious problems for the global public health. Millions of patients, the world over, suffer Diabetes, a chronic and degenerative disease without treatments today. America, and particularly the Caribbean and Central America Region, is seriously affected despite the efforts of the Public Health Systems. Caribbean Region presented nearly twice the incidence and prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes when compared with the rest of the Americas. Today stem cells are emerging as a valid alternative of treatment. In vitro experiments with adult stem cells demonstrated their ability to migrate and differentiate into cells of different lineages. The bone marrow stem cells are safe, effective and have a lot of scientific evidence that supports the carrying out of clinical research in phases II and III. Our protocol is an Autologous Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplantation, without immune suppression or cell cultures. Our hypothesis is that the stem cells will act as immune modulators, angiogenic and in a regenerative way stimulating quiescent stem cells and improving the metabolic control by endogenous secretion of insulin.
Primary objective: To assess the effects of a modified plant-based Mediterranean diet (vegeterranean diet), circuit resistance training (CRT) and empagliflozin alone or in combination on body composition and physical function in elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes. The rationale for this study is to assess three interventions associated with a negative energy/caloric balance (increased caloric use in exercise, caloric restriction in the vegeterranean diet and caloric wasting by glycosuria with empagliflozin), their interaction and effect on body composition and physical function. Methods and analysis: One hundred and twenty men and women ≥ 65 years of age with type 2 diabetes, and low levels of physical activity will be randomized (1:1:1 manner, gender-stratified) for 10 weeks to one of 3 parallel arms: CRT consisting of 3 home sessions/week; ad-libitum plant-based Mediterranean diet (limited consumption of eggs, dairy and fish, avoidance of red meat and poultry) or empagliflozin 10mg/day. After 10 weeks CRT will be added to the empagliflozin or diet arms for an additional 10 weeks. Allocation concealment and blinding of primary outcome assessors will be implemented. Efficacy will be determined by assessment of lean body mass, body weight, frailty status, sarcopenia, HbA1c and quality of life questionnaires. Safety will be evaluated by routine monitoring of adverse events. This study was approved by the Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center Institutional Review Board
The study seeks to demonstrate the clinical value and user acceptance of the Bluetooth enabled OneTouch Verio® Flex meter (Flex) used in combination with the OneTouch Reveal® Mobile APP to support overall diabetes care, glycemic control and patient reported outcomes in patients with diabetes in an undeserved population.
The overall goal of this PET-MR imaging trial is to evaluate 11C-Martinostat, a histone deacetylase targeted radioligand, in patients with aortic stenosis, individuals with diabetes, and healthy volunteers.
Type 1 diabetes usually appears brutally in children or young adults. While many factors of poor glycemic balance have been identified in the literature (age, socio-cultural and socio-economic level, family structure, adherence etc.), it turns out that hypoglycemia is the most common acute complications. It would be an important physiological and psychological barrier for the patient and his parents to manage this diabetes, the latter seeking to keep the blood glucose levels above the objectives in order to avoid the occurrence of a hypoglycemia, especially nocturnal. If there is a questionnaire currently validated as a tool to measure the fear of hypoglycemia (HFS, Hypoglycemia Fear Survey is available in three versions: L'HFS-Child (HFS-C) for children over 6 years old, HFS-Parents of Young children ( HFS-PYC) for parents of young children (under 8 years of age) and HFS-Parents (HFS-P)) for parents of children over 8 years of age, on the other hand, there are no French and no French studies have evaluated the prevalence and impact of the fear of hypoglycemia in French patients with type 1 diabetes. It is therefore essential to use a reliable and valid tool to identify patients affected by the fear of hypoglycemia, which can be an obstacle to improve glycemic control and to an optimum quality of life. Having a tool in French and validated on the scientific level would allow to propose adapted therapeutic treatments (psychological follow-up, individual or collective sessions of therapeutic education, material assistance (sensor of blood glucose, pump with insulin stop...) In order to both improve metabolic balance while increasing the quality of life of patients by lowering secondary anxiety to hypoglycemia
The present study is testing in a combined design to types of drugs in patients with chronic heart failure: 1) Hydralazine in combination with isosorbide dinitrate (BiDil) and 2) Metformin hydrochloride. The study is double blind, placebo controlled. 1. The first hypothesis is that hydralazine in combination with isosorbide dinitrate can reduce mortality and hospitalization with worsening heart failure. 2. The second hypothesis is that treatment of underlying insulin resistance/ type 2 diabetes with metformin in heart failure patients with moderately to severely reduced LVEF can reduce mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations. Among secondary endpoints are reduction in new-onset diabetes in heart failure patients with insulin resistance and diabetes risk profile and patient safety.
Hyperglycemia is a common condition among hospitalized patients. The occurrence of severe hyperglycemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in several populations. Several trials assessed the benefits of aggressive versus conventional glucose control. These studies evaluated different patient populations, glucose targets and treatment protocols and as a result reported conflicting results. To date there are no clear guidelines regarding to the preferred glucose target range in hospitalized non-critically ill patients. The common practice is to maintain glucose level lower than 180 mg/dl however there are no evidence based regarding to the outcomes of hospitalized patients treated with intensive compared to conventional glycemic control. This prospective randomized controlled study will compare intensive vs. standard glycemic control in hospitalized non-critically ill patients. Within 24 hours of hospitalization in the internal medical or geriatric departments, patients who are expected to require hospitalization for at least three consecutive days will be randomly assigned into one of the two study groups - intensive with a target blood glucose range of 130 mg per deciliter or less, or conventional glucose control, with a target of 130-180 mg per deciliter. The investigators defined the primary end point as a composite outcome of mortality in 30 days, severe hypoglycemia, severe infections within 30 days, CVA and cardiac ischemic events within 30 days.
More than 25% of the patients admitted in the general wards have a history of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Up to 30% of the hospitalized diabetics develop hypoglycemia (low glucose values); a condition that is associated with seizures, cardiac arrhythmias, and even death. In Veterans, the prevalence is disproportionally higher. It is estimated that 40-50% of hospitalized Veterans are diabetics. In this clinical trial the investigators describe the development of a novel system, the Glucose Telemetry System (GTS), with which glucose values can be wirelessly transmitted from the patient's bedside to a monitor device at the nursing station. The goal of this work is to develop a more effective glucose surveillance system at the general wards, which can decrease hypoglycemia in the hospital and improve clinical outcomes.
The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is a worldwide problem. In preventing risk factors and unhealthy lifestyle through improved health literacy, chances are seen to delay or even avoid type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of the DIMINI-project is to prevent type 2 diabetes mellitus and to strengthen the health literacy of people at increased risk of developing it. For this purpose, people at increased risk are first identified by using the standardized screening tool Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) adapted for Germany. Identified risk persons then receive a needs-based, modular lifestyle intervention including nutrition tips and physical exercises either paper- or app-based.
