Filter by:The primary aim of this randomized cross-over intervention study is to investigate the effect of four weeks of intermittent carbohydrate restriction (alternating between two days of normal dietary intake and two days of carbohydrate restriction to 70-90 grams) on 24-hour average sensor glucose in individuals with type 2 diabetes compared with a four-week control period with normal dietary intake.
Diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome are closely linked to sleep apnea syndrome. Indeed, diabetic and/or obese patients present an increased risk of sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS), with a prevalence estimated at between 10 and 22%, depending on the study, and most of them requiring treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). In this sub-population of patients, only between 40% and 50% benefit from CPAP.
The goal of this registry-based observational study is to establish a comprehensive management plan, which focus on medical therapy, cardiac rehabilitation and active post-market surveillance of medical devices, in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Patients with CVD mainly refers to four groups of patients：1) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (post-PCI) patients; 2) patients with heart failure (HF); 3) patients with cardiometabolic diseases (CMD); 4) patients with structural heart disease (SHD), and the detailed definition of each group can be found in "Eligibility" section. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - the effectiveness of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation in improving cardiac function, reducing CVD recurrence and mortality, and promoting quality of life for patients with CVD; - the feasibility of registry-based active post-market surveillance of high-risk medical devices used in cardiovascular surgeries, such as PCI, heart valve replacement, and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT); - the utilization of multiomics datasets to identify and dissect cardiovascular heterogeneity in both healthy and diseased populations and to guide precision medicine in patients with CVD; - the analysis and evaluation of the prescription patterns and drug response in patients with CVD.
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels through improved insulin sensitivity and release of insulin from the pancreas, control hunger, induce satiety and plays a role in the metabolic health of a person. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have been shown to be effective in achieving weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes while improving blood glucose control. Bariatric surgical procedures have been shown to be effective in treating obesity as well as superior to best medical therapy for treatment of diabetes not just through restriction of calories but also through a positive impact in modifications of gut hormones, changes in circulating bile acids, modifications in the gut microflora as well as other undefined mechanisms. The combined benefits of GLP1-RAs with bariatric surgery have only been studied to a limited effect. In this randomized trial, the effects of continuation or discontinuation of GLP1-RA therapy in patients undergoing bariatric surgery will be determined. We will compare changes in weight, metabolic determinants including circulating bile acids and gut microbiome, psychological determinants of eating behavior, and adverse side effects in patients who continue vs discontinue therapy. Given differences in metabolic and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), both surgical groups will be examined. The study will be conducted at a high volume bariatric surgical program where patients will undergo randomization at the time of final clinic visit prior to surgery to continue or discontinue GLP1-RA. It is hypothesized that participants who continue GLP1-RA therapy after bariatric surgery will lose more weight with improved blood glucose control than those who discontinue therapy. Furthermore, changes in gut microbiome and circulating bile acids, known determinants of metabolic health, will be modified to a differential extent in those who are on GLP1-RAs vs those where GLP1-RAs are discontinued. Understanding the role these medications play in not only clinical outcomes after metabolic surgery but potential metabolic mechanisms by which surgery improves patient's metabolic health could help people with obesity and type 2 diabetes make informed decisions about their treatment options as well as advise providers on the continuation of these medications in the perioperative and postoperative period.
The purpose of the study is to understand how mothers think and feel about feeding their babies and putting them to sleep, understand more about programs that can support mothers taking care of babies, and how professionals can be most helpful in helping mothers make decisions about their baby's feeding and sleeping. The overarching goal is to prevent early life obesity and progression to metabolic syndrome in high-risk populations, starting with healthy toddler weights by age 2 years.
TRANSFORM is a prospective, randomized, open blinded endpoint (PROBE), event-driven, pragmatic trial in patients who are at increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease but with no known symptomatic CV disease. The trial tests the hypothesis that a Cleerly Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Staging System-based care strategy reduces CV events compared with risk factor-based care.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the ability of a home-based parental nutrition intervention to improve diet quality in preschool aged children within low-income, Latinx/Hispanic families. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does this enhanced intervention change children's diet quality? - Does this enhanced intervention change parental feeding practices? - Does this enhanced intervention change the availability of healthy foods in the home? Participants will: - Work with a support coach - Have a home visit with a support coach once a month, for three months - Have a phone call with a support coach once a month, for three months - Receive written materials and text messages over the six months Researchers will compare a control group receiving different written materials and messages to see if the enhanced intervention changes diet quality in children.
Aim of this project is to delineate sustainable physical exercise programs and to assess the effects of such programs mainly on endocrine-metabolic and neurovegetative outcomes in a cohort of men with metabolic syndrome-related late-onset central hypogonadism. Participants will undergo a personalised exercise program. After 6 months they will be subdivided into two groups, according to the weekly physical activity volume actually performed (above or below 600 MET·minutes/week). Changes in endocrine-metabolic and neurovegetative outcomes will be compared between the two groups.
This study is being done to evaluate how a ketone ester (KE) beverage affects heart function and health in people with heart failure compared to a placebo beverage (a beverage made with standard food ingredients that do not contain ketone esters).
The investigators propose a proof of concept RCT (randomized clinical trial), testing the efficacy of intranasal insulin (INI) with semaglutide, a combination therapy with strong biological plausibility to benefit impaired cognition through vascular mechanisms, in older adults with MetS (metabolic syndrome) and MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment), who are enriched for cerebrovascular disease and at high dementia risk. The study will focus on cognitive and biological outcomes, allowing identification of relevant mechanisms.
