This study evaluate the Duodenal Ileal Interposition with Sleeve Gastrectomy for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in grade 1 obesity and overweight patients.
This study aims to describe the impact of a training in therapeutic education on the relation between a caregiver and his/her patients. Subjects are recruited among health professionals attending a training in therapeutic education. Then they are asked to identify up to 5 of their patients to be contacted by the researcher for an interview. Individual semi-structured interviews are conducted with 20 duo "caregivers / patients" before the training, 1 month and 6 months after the training.
It is estimated that approximately 20-25% of diabetic patients will have at least one trophic disorder during their period. The appearance of a trophic disorder in a diabetic patient is a serious complication, indicating that diabetes is often complicated. The consequences are serious for the patient with an impairment of his quality of life, but also for society with a high cost in terms of health care costs. It should also be noted that diabetes remains the main cause of non-traumatic amputation in most developed countries, with amputation often preceded by a trophic disorder. In addition, 20% of amputees are re-amputated at least once a year. Thus, the consequences of diabetic foot injuries are important in human, social and health terms and are the subject of increased health care spending. Many studies have shown that diabetes is a risk factor for dementia, whether it is Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease or the vascular component or pure vascular dementia. However, an understanding of the cognitive mechanisms involved in the management of diabetes and in particular in the diabetic foot and its recurrence remains partial and no study has integrated the severity of the risk of the foot (evaluated by the podological risk) Specific implication of some Cognitive abilities, especially in relation to episodic memory, and social cognition integrating decision-making abilities. These specific disorders could have a major impact in diabetes follow-up, therapeutic adherence and the risk of developing recurrent trophic disorders. Thus, the coexistence of diabetes with a mental pathology makes the management of the subject more complex and exposes it to more complications. In the management of chronic diabetic disease, adherence to treatment is essential. It is therefore important to detect the specific effects of this type of personality on the prognosis of diabetes and the appearance of foot wounds.
The primary aim of the current study is a better understanding of the role of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in heart failure and, in particular, changes in cardiac metabolism, which may contribute to heart failure. Various biomarkers in the coronary artery blood, as well as in the arterial and peripheral venous blood, are to be identified for this purpose. Included are patients with and without T2DM and with or without heart failure (HFpEF, HFmrEF, HFrEF), who have a clinically indicated and guidance-appropriate Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) implantation or pulmonary vein ablation/electrophysiological examination. Not all patients currently benefit from the implantation of a CRT system (so-called non-responder). Despite narrow inclusion criteria, these "non-responders" cannot be unmasked in advance of the implantation. A further aim of this study is to identify biomarkers, which can be determined in advance of implantation to differentiate between responders and non-responders.
Evaluation of the glycemic efficacy of cabergoline on diabetic patients
This study will investigate the interplay of different immune cells and placental cells as well as their potential for the development of pregnancy complications. In particular, the translation of the uteroplacental syndrome into a maternal syndrome, considered in the multifactorial pregnancy disorder preeclampsia, will be investigated. Immune cell subtypes are causally involved in the formation and translation of preeclampsia by inducing an endothelial dysfunction which leads to cardiovascular damage.
Aim of the study is to investigate genes regulating glucose and lipid metabolism in subjects whose glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, blood flow, or body fat distribution has been measured using positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) or computed tomography (CT) as part of their previous participation in clinical trials conducted at Turku PET Centre. By combining information from PET, MRI, CT, proteomics, metabolomics and genetics analyses we aim to find connection between genetic variation and metabolic and cardiovascular disease.
In insulin pump therapy, insulin is continuously infused into the subcutaneous adipose tissue via a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) catheter using a basal/bolus pattern. Unfortunately, insulin absorption from the tissue surrounding a CSII catheter can be slow, variable, and unreliable. It is recommended to replace CSII catheters after 2 to 3 days of use. Frequently changing the injection site can be tedious and moreover leads to scarring, while reusing the same injection site can lead to medical complications such as lipohypertrophy. CSII catheters are manufactured from both steel and Teflon and use of either of these materials is based on personal preference/experience rather than scientific, empirical data. We hypothesize that the inflammatory response to CSII catheters is a major contributor to variable insulin absorption and that this response is significantly different between materials and catheters shapes. In order to develop CSII catheters with an extended life-time up to 7 days, we need to better understand the inflammatory response caused by the introduction and maintenance of a CSII catheter into the subcutaneous adipose tissue. This study is a pilot study in humans scheduled for elective plastic surgery where a large skin flap is removed from the abdominal region. Teflon and steel CSII catheters will be inserted into the abdomen 7, 4, and 3 days prior to surgery. This study design allows for the removal of tissue plugs surrounding CSII catheters without causing additional scarring for the patient.
Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) is the cornerstone of blood sugar monitoring. As HbA1c is formed by the covalent reaction of glucose with hemoglobin throughout the lifespan of the red blood cell (RBC), it is used as a surrogate marker for integrated mean blood glucose over time. The HbA1c value therefore is dependent on the average amount of time the RBC spends in the circulation (mean RBC age or MRBC). However, our previous studies measuring red cell lifespan using either an age cohort label (ex vivo labeling with biotin) or a population label (stable isotope) have demonstrated, contrary to established dogma, that the MRBC varies substantially among individuals and is sufficiently variable to affect HA1c interpretation in a significant percentage of individuals with diabetes. Although the stable isotope method is suitable for clinical studies, it has limited potential for application to large population of subjects. A potential alternative to the stable isotope approach that could be applied routinely to the average patient in the clinic is measurement of exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) concentration, a reflection of RBC heme turnover. In general, the primary advantage of applying exhaled breath analyses to human clinical diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring is that this technique is noninvasive, safe, simple, and provides near-real time measurements. The purpose of this observational study is to optimize the collection of eCO in a normal control population followed by measurement in a cohort of subjects previously assessed by either the SI or biotin methods for comparison.
