Filter by:This study will conduct a two-arm randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of a culturally tailored version of the NYU Caregiver Intervention (NYUCI) plus enhanced support (ES) through online chat groups (the NYUCI plus WeChat/Kakaotalk [population social media app for Chinese/Korean] peer support which we call the NYUCI-ES in reducing health risks for cardiometabolic disease among older Chinese and Korean American adults caring for relatives with ADRD. In collaboration with community organizations across the New York and northern New Jersey metropolitan area, we will enroll 300 caregivers of people with ADRD (150 Chinese and 150 Korean) in this study. Aim 1: Develop culturally adapted informational and educational materials about dementia and caregiving issues for social service providers of the intervention and for family caregivers. Aim 2: Test the hypothesis, H1: A counseling and support intervention (the NYUCI-ES) will significantly improve psychosocial factors such as depression, stress self-rated health and chronic disease management among Chinese and Korean-American ADRD caregivers and these changes will be mediated by improvement in social support. H1a: By the first (6- month) follow-up, the mediators (increases in social support, stress reaction) will improve significantly in the intervention group compared to baseline values and the control group. H1b: These improvements will be maintained, and lead to reduction in depressive symptoms, and improvement in self-reported health and chronic disease self-management by the 12-month follow-up compared to the control group. Aim 3: Test the hypothesis, H2: the NYUCI-ES will reduce biologic risk factors, including metabolic health (glycosylated hemoglobin) and inflammation (Oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, etc.) within 6 months of enrollment compared to baseline and a control group; these changes will be mediated through increases in social support and decreases in depressive symptoms and will be maintained at the 12-month follow-up. The public health significance of these findings will likely have an impact on health care policy for CGs from diverse underserved ethnic and cultural backgrounds, potentially reducing morbidity, and improving their quality of life.
The study is designed to determine whether seaweed extract added to a carbohydrate-rich meal, can lower blood glucose levels after its consumption, and hence lower its glycaemic index, and if this effect is mediated through effects on insulin. It is designed as an acute, randomised, cross-over, controlled, three-arm dietary intervention trial in healthy subjects. Participants will be asked to consume either white bread, white bread with lower dose of seaweed extract or white bread with higher dose of seaweed extract.The effects on plasma glucose levels and levels of insulin will be determined over 3 hours after the consumption.
The main objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the antiplatelet efficacy of the Dengzhanxixin capsule is better than that of placebo in individuals at high-risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
A randomised controlled crossover pilot study to evaluate safety and efficacy of a digital insulin bolus calculator with a physical activity module
The aim of the study is to synthesize qualitative evidence related to preventable hospitalizations/ emergency department visits from the perspectives of patients, their families/caregivers, health care providers, and stakeholders, in the hope to identify generalizable conclusions about why social risk factors matter to preventable hospitalizations/ emergency department visits
The aim of the study is to explore the effect of a low-calorie diet rich in protein (with a content of 35% of the total calories of the diet), mostly coming from animal sources (75% of total protein), compared to a hypocaloric diet rich in protein (with a content of 35% of the total calories of the diet), mostly coming from plant sources (75% of total proteins), in subjects with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity, on body composition, glucose and lipid metabolisms, after 6 months of intervention. To achieve the objective, a nutritional intervention study is carried out by randomizing participants to: a) a hypocaloric and high-protein diet (35% of total calories), mostly of them coming from animal sources (75% of total protein); b) a hypocaloric and high-protein diet (35% of total calories), mostly of them coming from plant sources (75% of total protein). The study has a total duration of 6 months and include the assessment of clinical, anthropometric, biochemical and lifestyle parameters, at the beginning of the study and after 3 and 6 months of intervention.
The main objective is to determine the feasibility of dasiglucagon in a bi-hormonal reactive closed loop system for automated glucose regulation (artificial pancreas; AP®) in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1. Safety parameters and pharmacodynamics are compared between Dasiglucagon and GlucaGen®. This study is a single-center, double-blinded, randomized, cross over trial in 12 subjects. The subjects will be randomized to receive either dasiglucagon or GlucaGen® for the first three day study period and switch to the alternate treatment after a wash-out treatment.
The overall objective is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a remote glucose monitoring program among Marshallese women with PGDM (pre-gestational diabetes mellitus) or GDM (gestational diabetes mellitus) and with limited English proficiency.
The purpose of this study is to gather feedback on a new continuous glucose monitor (CGM), called DEXCOM One. Unlike some other CGMs which allow a low (hypoglycaemic) and a high (hyperglycaemic) glucose alarm to be set, the DEXCOM One sensor has the unique feature of the 'Sustained Hyperglycaemic Alert', where the alarm is only activated if the glucose is above a certain threshold for a pre-specified amount of time. International consensus guidance states that people with diabetes should aim for 70% time in the range 3.9-10 mmol/L. After meals there is usually a rise in blood glucose, so it is not unexpected for the glucose to go above 10 mmol/L for a short time even if the insulin dose already given before a meal is correct. Therefore, people with a high glucose alarm set at 10 mmol/L on their GCM may unnecessarily inject extra insulin and risk a low blood glucose. However, DEXCOM One's Sustained Hyperglycaemic Alert would only notify patients if their blood sugar was high for a prolonged period, and so may reflect a time when it would be genuinely advantageous to inject more insulin. The aim of this single-centre, non-randomised, observational study is to gather experience from a range of users to assess the utility of this unique attribute, and the optimal settings. We aim to recruit 80-100 patients, and each participant's involvement is in 2 phases; for the first 3 months DEXCOM One sensors will be used, and for months 4-6 there will be the option of continuing to use the DEXCOM One sensors with the addition of a FitBit to track physical activity.
Diabetic retinopathy is frequent, potentially severe with visual threat, health costly and represents a major public health problem. However, screening compliance for retinopathy remains too low in France, approximately 40% patients with diabetes laking diabetic retinopathy screening for at least 2 years. DIABeyeIA is a prospective pilot study evaluating the effectiveness and acceptability of diabetic retinopathy screening in 11 pharmacies in Normandy (north of France) using a non-mydriatic portable retinophotograph enhanced by artificial intelligence software. The main goal of this work is to evaluate a potential increase rate of diabetic retinopathy screening, compared to the actual rate (64% in France). Secondary goals are faisability, satisfaction and economical considerations for implementation of such a new screening program.
