Filter by:This study is not being conducted in the United States. Key long-term clinical studies have shown that people with type 2 diabetes should try to achieve overall blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible. The purpose of this study is to gather data on the long-term safety and effectiveness of vildagliptin, an unapproved drug, compared to placebo in lowering overall blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes who have not been previously treated with drug therapy to lower their blood sugar and whose blood glucose levels are close to normal.
Background: Studies have noted a correlation between food sensitivities and health disorders. Various commonly seen health problems may be caused by cane sugar since it is lavishly and frequently used by people worldwide. Objective: This study evaluated the efficacy of NAET testing instruments in detecting hypersensitivities to cane sugar. Materials and Methods: Seventy-four subjects volunteered for this study. They were asked to write down one of their major health problems, the amount of sugar consumed on a daily basis and any known health problem(s) related to sugar consumption. The following testing modalities were used in the study: (1). Allergy Symptom-Rating Scale (ASRS); (2). NST Rating Scale (NSTRS); (3). Pulse Difference Rating Scale (PDRS). Test-1 was done twice. Tests 2 and 3 were done three times each: once without contacting sugar and then contacting sugar at one minute and ten minutes.
The purpose of this trial is to study the effects on risk reduction and expense of 3 approaches to the care of people with cardiovascular risk factors in a naturalistic primary care environment.
The primary objective of the study is to assess whether chronic treatment with olanzapine over a five-month period produces a significant increase in abnormalities in glucose levels. The main secondary objective is to evaluate whether the increase in glucose levels and rate of glucose abnormalities differs between Olanzapine and Risperidone during this treatment period. Additional secondary objectives of the study are to investigate similar questions with respect to glycohemoglobin, triglycerides and other measures of glucose and lipid metabolism. We hypothesize that Olanzapine will not be inferior to Risperidone in extent of increase in the primary outcome measure of serum glucose, and secondary measures of glycohemoglobin, insulin and lipids.
To compare the effect of “point-of-care” (POC) analysis of blood work with traditional laboratory methods on length of stay in a pediatric emergency department (PED).
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, safety and preliminary efficacy of the use of insulin infusions as treatment for hyperglycemic acute ischemic stroke patients.
Patients with or without diabetes may have high blood sugar levels due to stress response of the body during heart surgery. This study is being done to determine if maintaining normal blood sugar levels during open-heart surgery by using intravenous insulin results in a lesser incidence of death, wound infections in the chest, disturbances of heart rhythm, kidney failure, stroke and prolonged time on the breathing machine (artificial ventilation) within 30 days after surgery.
To assess whether patients with diabetes have less clinical improvement during inpatient rehabilitation than those without diabetes and whether hyperglycaemia during rehabilitation is an adverse prognostic indicator.
Recent studies of adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients have shown significantly decreased morbidity and mortality when blood sugar concentrations are closely controlled. The safety and efficacy of this type of blood sugar management has not been studied in the pediatric ICU population. Based on the current pediatric literature data as well as our extensive retrospective study, blood sugar concentrations have a potentially profound role to play among PICU patients. In preparation for a multi-center randomized control trial, we propose a prospective feasibility study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using an insulin delivery algorithm to manage blood sugar in the PICU. Our hypothesis for this feasibility trial is that uniformly monitoring and controlling blood glucose with a Discrete-Closed-Loop(DCL) insulin delivery algorithm will be an effective, safe, and consistent means of delivering insulin to manage glucose in the pediatric intensive care unit.
To determine whether tight glycaemic control with insulin improves myocardial function and myocardial perfusion (measured by myocardial contrast echocardiography) and novel vascular risk factors in patients with acute myocardial infarction and hyperglycaemia.
