Filter by:This study is a randomized controlled cross-over trial, in the form of a proof of concept study that is designed to evaluate the health outcomes resulting from incorporating a licensed clinical pharmacist in a health care team to provide case management for diabetic patients at the Henry J Austin Health Clinic. The study uses a control group design and will feature both an experimental group and a control group. The control group, of 80 patients, will receive the standard treatment at the clinic. The experimental group, of 80 patients, will receive the standard treatment as well as Medication Therapy Management and counseling from a pharmacist. After one year the patients in the control group can cross-over to the intervention group and receive care from the pharmacist.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercise training leads to changes in the white adipose tissue that are beneficial to the body's regulation of sugar and body weight.
In summary, the registry should provide novel insight into potential mechanisms of cardiovascular risk reduction in patients treated with Empagliflozin with an indication of intensified glucose lowering therapy based on their HbA1c level.
Emerging evidence from high-income countries suggests that diabetes mellitus is become a major health problem among HIV-infected patients. However, due to differences in social, environmental, and genetic factors data from high-income countries can not be extrapolated directly to low-income countries. This study investigates HIV, ART, inflammation, and body composition changes as risk factors for diabetes mellitus among HIV-infected patients in Tanzania.
The presence of foot symptoms at rest or tissue necrosis in patients with peripheral artery disease is a medical urgency and represents a state of critical limb ischemia (CLI) where the risk of amputation, in the absence of revascularization, is high. No trial conducted to date in peripheral revascularization has determined the effect of diabetes on mechanism of revascularization failure. Therefore, this trial represents a unique opportunity to investigate the mechanisms by which diabetes affects surgical and endovascular revascularization procedures with the long-term goal of improving outcomes in CLI.
A Functional Medicine (FM) approach to diabetes care focuses on identifying and treating the etiologies for "imbalances in the core physiological systems."(1) If underlying triggers and imbalances can be identified, the FM approach to addressing "root causes"(1) can be utilized through the use of specialized testing to treat and potentially reverse diabetes. If the FM approach is successful, the impact on diabetes disease burden as well as diabetes-associated health care costs could be significant. This project will assess the clinical as well as cost effectiveness of a FM approach to diabetes care compared to a usual care approach for patients with diabetes on insulin for 5 years or less.
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study Assessing the Effect of Gelesis200 on Body Weight in Overweight and Obese Subjects without or with Type 2 Diabetes
CareWell will enable the delivery of integrated healthcare to frail elderly patients in a pilot setting through comprehensive multidisciplinary integrated care programmes where the role of ICTs can foster the coordination and patient centered delivery care. Carewell will focus in particular complex, multi-morbid elderly patients, who the patients most in need of health and social care resources (35% the total cost of Health Care System) and more complex interventions due to their frailty and comorbidities (health and social care coordination, monitoring, self-management of the patient and informal care giver). ICT platforms and communication channels that allow sharing information between healthcare and social care professionals involved in the delivery care of these patients, facilitating their coordination, increasing their resoluteness and avoiding duplicities when tackling patients´ diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitation or monitoring needs. Additionally, ICT-based platforms can improve the adherence to treatment, enhance self-care and increase patient awareness about their health status , as well as, improve the empowerment of informal caregivers, who usually take care of these patients. According to this, it is hypothesized that the benefit of integrated care programmes based on (1) integrated care coordination and (2) patient empowerment & home support pathways supported by ICT is greater and essential for these patients. Care pathways will cut across organisational boundaries and will activate the most appropriate resources across the entire spectrum of healthcare and social care services available for both scheduled and emergency care. CareWell aims to scale up the services in pioneer regions and share their approach, learning from and supporting the other pilot sites which are at different levels of maturity in respect to designing, developing and implementing new ways of providing integrated care services.
A two year, parallel, two group, open-label, real-world randomised controlled trial (RCT) design for subjects with severe and complex obesity who are referred to a Tier 3 or equivalent specialist weight management/obesity service. Participants will be randomised to receive 1) standard care (obesity-specialist care), or 2) targeted prescribing pathway (obesity-specialist care plus targeted use of Liraglutide 3.0mg [LIRA 3mg] with pre-specified stopping rules for the medication). The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness, budget impact, and cost-effectiveness between the two groups in a real-world setting among otherwise largely unselected patients.
Diabetes is a common complication of pregnancy that increases risks for both the mother and baby. Poorly controlled diabetes has been associated with very large babies, congenital heart defects, stillbirth, birth trauma, and maternal infections among other complications. Patients with diabetes in pregnancy require more frequent prenatal visits and fetal evaluation, and must shoulder the burden of mastering management of a complicated care regimen. With the ever-expanding world of technology, more healthcare practices are using cell phones, texting, and social media to interact with patients. Use of this technology has been successful in management of chronic diseases and as reminder systems. The investigators propose a randomized clinical trial to investigate patient adherence to recommended care regimen after intervention of a text message reminder and education system.
