Filter by:C-peptide is used to evaluate beta cell reserves. Patients with type 2 diabetes are treated with insulin for different indications. Other than beta-cell insufficiency and organ failures, insulin treatment is needed for a specified period. The investigators want to evaluate beta cell reserves in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin for at least six months to see if that is the case. The investigators also want to compare the characteristics of these patients according to their beta cell reserves.
ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To determine the effects of selenium, melatonin and selenium + melatonin administered for one month on anterior chamber (AC ) malondialdehyde (MDA) and AC glutathione (GSH) levels in patients with Ocular ischemic syndrome. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirtyfive patients were included in the study. Study groups were formed as follows: 1-Control group, 2-Ischemia group 3-Selenium Ischemia group, 4-Melatonin Ischemia group, 5-Selenium + Melatonin + Ischemia group. AC samples were obtained. MDA and GSH levels in AC samples were evaluated. RESULTS : MDA levels were significantly increased in ischemia groups. Selenium and melatonin supplementation resulted in reduction of MDA levels and significant increase in GSH values. DISCUSSION: Increased lipid peroxidation associated with ischemia of the anterior segment has been prevented by selenium and melatonin supplementation. KEYWORDS: Ocular ischemic syndrome, selenium, melatonin, MDA, GSH
This randomised controlled trial will determine if exercise (150 - 200 min per week, 6 weeks) can beneficially modify liver fat quality in non alcohol fatty liver disease patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 26, 13 per group). Liver fat quality will be assessed via magnetic resonance (3T) spectroscopy (1H-MRS) using validated methods.
This was a single-arm, multicenter, Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the anti- programmed cell death-1(PD-1) monoclonal antibody BGB-A317 in participants with PD-L1+, locally advanced or metastatic Urothelial Bladder Cancer (UBC) who have progressed during or following a platinum-containing regimen
This is a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Losmapimod in treating patients with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) over 48 weeks.
This study aims at evaluating the efficacy and safety of a home-based tDCS device when compared to a sham stimulation for improving attention in adult ADHD patients.
This study will test the accuracy of an investigational, non-invasive device for measuring heart rate and respiratory rate. The device emits radiowaves that allows it to pick up subtle changes in a person's chest wall, which allows it to calculate the heart rate and respiratory rate. We propose to study whether the device's measurements are accurate and reproducible in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma. The device undergoing study has been evaluated in healthy volunteers, but its accuracy in vital sign monitoring in patients with respiratory conditions has not yet been established. This study will serve as the foundation for additional work to assess the device's accuracy in measuring a patient's overall "work of breathing" or respiratory effort. Future work will examine the device's accuracy in measuring work of breathing in patients having an exacerbation of their underlying respiratory condition. The primary aim of this study will be to assess the validity of heart rate and respiratory rate measurements in patients with either COPD or asthma.
Researchers are trying to learn more about the prevalence of genetic mutations in women who are at intermediate/high risk of breast cancer and how that information my assist providers in improving screening and preventative options.
In patients referred for cardiac catheterization to be performed using transradial access, a randomized comparison will be performed with the primary endpoint of patency of radial artery at the time of application of hemostatic compression band. The single radial only TR-Band (Terumo, Japan) will be compared to the dual balloon Vasoband (Vasoinnovations, USA) capable of ipsilateral ulnar artery compression.
In this prospective, randomized, open-labeled study, the intensive care patients will be selected for ultrasound-guided cannulation of the radial artery in three different regions. Patients will be divided into three groups with simple randomization. The first group will be determined as 'G1' and the radial artery catheterization with ultrasound-guided short axis out of plane intervention will be performed over 2 cm of the wrist for this group. On the second group (G2), radial artery catheterization will be performed in the distal 3/4 area of the forearm with ultrasound-guided short axis out of plane intervention. On the third group (G3), radial arterial catheterization will be performed in the distal 1/2 area of the forearm with ultrasound-guided short axis out of plane interference. Whether there is a difference in the duration of use of arterial cannula, first entry success rates, duration of intervention, number of procedures, the number of cannulas used and the effects on early and late complications and advantages between the groups will be investigated.
