NCT ID: NCT06331819 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Clinical Association Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Facial Pigmentation, and Vasovagal Symptoms.

VasOSA
Start date: March 10, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this prospective cohort study is to study patients referred for sleep study by in-lab polysomnography in the Jordan University Hospital and the Jordan Hospital. The main aims are: - To prospectively obtain demographic and clinical information of patients referred for a sleep study. - To determine the diagnostic value of facial discoloration as potential marker for obstructive sleep apnea to increase detection rate for the condition. - To establish a correlation between obstructive sleep apnea and vasovagal symptoms with resulting increased smoking tendency and study the effect of treatment on the disorders. - To determine the association between timing of appearance of obstructive sleep apnea symptoms and initiation of smoking.

NCT ID: NCT05529563 Recruiting - Insulin Resistance Clinical Trials

The Effect of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on Insulin Secretion Pattern in Morbidly Obese Patients With Acanthosis Nigricans

Start date: June 1, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is increasing in its prevalence and is the most prevalent cutaneous manifestation in individuals with obesity. Insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia is the main pathophysiological mechanism of obesity-related AN. However, the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on insulin secretion pattern in Chinese morbidly obese patients with AN is unknown. In these study, the investigators aimed to explore the insulin secretion patterns in Chinese morbidly obese patients with Acanthosis nigricans (AN) and their alterations after LSG.

NCT ID: NCT00000112 Recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Prevalence of Carbohydrate Intolerance in Lean and Obese Children

Start date: n/a
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The prevalence of obesity in children is reaching epidemic proportions. Excess adiposity is more than just a cosmetic problem, having substantial metabolic consequences. Insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and frank diabetes are often seen in obese children. In this study the prevalence of impaired glucose (carbohydrate) tolerance in lean children with a family history of diabetes and obese children with acanthosis nigricans with or without a family history of diabetes mellitus will be studied.
