The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) does not specify a fasting period for patients with certain comorbidities, such as diabetes, for elective surgery, and does not make a separate recommendation for surgery. The European Society of Anesthesiology (ESA) guidelines do not differentiate between diabetic patients and normal patients. Aspiration of gastric contents is a common cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality. Aspiration can cause hypoxia, bronchospasm, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome and death. The presence of food or fluid in the stomach before induction of anesthesia is one of the greatest risk factors for perioperative pulmonary aspiration. Sedation and general anesthesia suppress or inhibit physiologic mechanisms (tone of the lower esophageal sphincter and upper airway reflexes) that protect against aspiration. Because restriction of fluid and food intake before general anesthesia is vital for patient safety, Anesthesiology societies have developed guidelines for preoperative fasting. Current ASA guidelines recommend at least 2 hours fasting for clear liquids, 6 hours fasting after a light meal (toast and clear liquids) and 8 hours fasting after a high calorie or fat meal. The information obtained from gastric ultrasound allows anesthesiologists to determine the optimal timing of procedures, type of anesthesia and airway management technique.
Type and Aim of Research This research will be conducted as a randomised controlled experimental study design to test the effect of web-based diabetes education on the quality of life and self-care activities of individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. Place and Time of the Study This research will be conducted between September 2023 and March 2024 with individuals registered to the Cyprus Turkish Diabetes Association. Population and Sample of the Study The population of the study consisted of individuals with Type-2 diabetes who applied to the Cyprus Turkish Diabetes Centre. The sample of the study included individuals with type-2 diabetes who met the inclusion criteria at the Turkish Cypriot Diabetes Centre. Sample size was calculated using G Power statistical programme (n=74). In order to evaluate the effectiveness in the experimental and control groups, simple randomisation was performed to ensure the similarity of the two groups. Randomisation was applied after the pre-tests. The data of the study will be collected by Sociodemographic Data Form, Diabetes Specific Quality of Life Scale, Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire, Website Analysis and Measurement Inventory. The forms will be applied to the participants face to face. People in the experimental group, whose information was sent to the researcher, will receive reminder messages twice a week (Wednesday-Friday) during the 3-month follow-up period via the website. No intervention will be applied to the control group. The post-test will be applied.
The purpose of this study is to measure the activity and insulin time action of LY3209590 at steady state in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The total study duration is approximately 182 days.
This is a single-blinded, four-arm randomized controlled trial that will compare health outcomes of home-delivered meal clients. The purpose of this pilot study is to explore which service model is most effective for improving nutritional status, disease management, fall risk, and adherence to meal recommendations. Participants will be randomized into one of four study arms: In Arm 1: clients will receive home-delivered meals and basic nutrition education and fall prevention education. In Arm 2: clients will receive home-delivered meals plus dietitian services. In Arm 3: clients will receive home-delivered meals plus occupational therapy services. In Arm 4: clients will receive home-delivered meals plus dietitian and occupational therapy services. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and at 3-month follow-up.
Diabetes is a complex chronic illness known for its high prevalence (11.3% in the United States), significant healthcare burdens in terms of cost and management, and high mortality rate (seventh leading cause of death in the United States in 2019). Diabetes-related complications including ischemic heart disease, stroke, hyperglycemic crises, amputations, and hypoglycemia accounted for 8.25 million hospital discharges and 25.9% of emergency department visits, contributing towards the $327 billion total cost of diabetes in 2017. Proper treatment of diabetes is integral to reduce a patient's risk of developing complications; however, a number of barriers can create additional burdens for persons with diabetes. Several studies have also demonstrated reductions in hospitalizations and/or ED visits for patients enrolled in pharmacist-led collaborative practice models. While the literature as a whole clearly describes the impact of ambulatory pharmacist intervention in achieving guideline-based clinical goals (i.e., HbA1c, blood pressure), few studies have reported on adherence with guideline-driven pharmacotherapy pre- and post-pharmacist intervention, or on pharmacist impact in reducing medication burden.
Brief Summary: Ketones are a source of energy and signaling molecule that are produced by the body when not consuming any food or consistently eating a low-carbohydrate "keto" diet. Blood ketones can be used as a source of energy by the body, but they may also act as signals that impact how different cells in the body function. Recently, ketone supplements have been developed that can be consumed as a drink. These supplements can raise blood ketones without having to fast or eat a "keto" diet. Previous studies have shown that these supplement drinks can lower blood sugar without having to make any other dietary changes. Drinking these ketone supplements may therefore be an effective strategy to improve blood sugar control and influence how cells function. To find out if it is feasible for people with type 2 diabetes to drink these ketones supplements regularly over 90 days, we will compare between two groups in this study: one group that will be asked to drink ketone supplements, and one group that will be asked to drink a placebo supplement.
This is a prospective randomized clinical trial evaluating how behaviorally-informed outreach text message reminders impact patient engagement with primary care. This prospective randomized control trial is being implemented in conjunction with UCLA Health's larger quality improvement initiative (the My Action Plan Quality Improvement Initiative) in order to improve primary care preventive measure completion rates.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition in which the ability of the kidneys to function gets worse over time. People with CKD often do not have associated symptoms, meaning that it is possible for the condition to go undetected until the condition worsens and symptoms develop. The disease is more common in people with diabetes and screening by means of urine and blood tests is recommended in this population by The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guidelines in order to detect disease earlier. However, screening rates amongst these patients are low and the dilemma is therefore how to increase the rate of screening in those who are ordinarily non-compliant. It is thought that facilitating patients in being able to perform The Minuteful Kidney Test (an at home test using smartphone technology) may increase the amount of people that undertake the test and thus improving early detection. 348 GP practices will be randomised in clusters, meaning that the GP practice will be randomised rather than the individual patient. This type of trial design is common in public health research as it is particularly suited to testing differences in approaches towards patient care. Each cluster will consist of on average 470 patients with diabetes. Each cluster will be allocated at random to either issuing The Minuteful Kidney Test (plus usual care) or usual care alone. This allocation will be applicable to each patient within that cluster. The evaluation will tell us whether administering this test increases the diagnosis rates of CKD as well as the frequency at which the test is performed in patients with diabetes. The results of the evaluation will determine whether The Minuteful Kidney Test should be used instead of or alongside existing blood and urine tests in this particular group of patients.
This is a retrospective, observational study based on an all-payer claims database (APCD) in the period 2011 to 2020) managed by the Vektis Health Care Information Center. In 2006, Vektis was established by Dutch health insurers aiming to combine and interpret reimbursement data and enable the main players in the Dutch healthcare market to base decisions and policy on reliable, essential, and timely information. Vektis receives data from all Dutch health care insurers. The APCD covers health care claims of 99.9% of the Dutch population. This study is part of the DUtch Diabetes Estimates (DUDE) initiative. We aim to perform different predefined analyses with the available data: - What is the incident amputation rate in persons with and without DM in the Netherlands in the period 2011-2020? - What defines persons with DM who need an amputation as compared to matched persons with DM but without an amputation in 2016, both in aspects of health care use and costs? - What defines persons with DM who need an amputation as compared to matched persons without DM with an amputation? - Does Social Economic Status (SES) play a role in amputation incidence and level, or on longer term outcome in persons with DM in the Netherlands? - Does the presence of a formal multidisciplinary foot clinic / team in a hospital make a difference, especially when comparing previous and actual macrovascular complication rates?
