Filter by:However, there is only very sparse information regarding the atherosclerotic burden and cardiovascular biomarkers in the early stages of type-2 diabetes, as the vast majority of studies have concerned diabetes populations with more than 5 years average diabetes age or high-risk subgroups, who at inclusion already had atherosclerotic disease manifestations. Consequently, this study aims on evaluating the occurrence of early-stage subclinical atherosclerosis in newly diagnosed type-2 diabetes with special emphasis on coronary plaque characteristics by modern imaging techniques. These findings will be compared to the functional status of various peripheral arterial segments and biomarkers in the cross-sectional part of this study. The 5-year follow-up study intends to describe relationships between these selected measures for general atherosclerotic involvement and the progression of the coronary atherosclerotic burden by contemporary techniques.
This study evaluates the performance and safety of the fluorescence based fibre optic glucose sensor for home usage.24 subjects will take part in the study, including 4 pre-diabetic subjects, 8 Type I diabetic patients, 8 Type II diabetic patients and 4 diabetic patients who require continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Type 1, Type 2 and prediabetic subjects will wear one FiberSense sensor, randomly allocated to either the upper arm (50%) or abdomen (50%) for 28 days. In addition, these subjects will wear a Dexcom sensor on the other side of the abdomen for 7 days in one of the four study weeks. In all 4 CAPD subjects, one FiberSense sensor will be placed in the upper arm for 28 days. No additional comparator sensor will be placed in CAPD subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Empagliflozin on cardiac structure, function and circulating biomarkers in patients with Type II diabetes. Empagliflozin (anti-hyperglycemic agent), approved by Health Canada and the FDA for the treatment of Type II diabetes, demonstrated a reduction in cardiovascular deaths and heart failure from a previous post-marketing clinical trial. The use of empagliflozin to treat patients with diabetes and heart disease has been approved by Health Canada. However, the process by which it may give this beneficial effect remains unclear and needs further investigation. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide a fundamental understanding of the mechanistic basis by which Empagliflozin could provide its potential cardio-protective effects by employing the use of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI).
In the aging population, the prevalence of chronic diseases and multimorbidity has become common. Therefore, the planning and coordination of care have become more important. However, it is not known what kind of treatment plan should be and what kind of patients would benefit most of it. This research focuses on the participatory patient care planning in primary health care. In general, the participatory patient care planning (PPCP) aims to engage patients in self-care, to improve the collaboration between patients and professionals and to improve the use of resources. The present study investigates the feasibility and effectiveness of the PPCP. The specific research questions of the present study are: Does the PPCP have an impact on the patient's quality of life? Does the PPCP improve the quality of care in management of chronic diseases? Does the PPCP improve patient's commitment with self-care? Does the PPCP impact on the use of health care services? The data consists of people aged at least 18 years living in the municipality of Siilinjärvi with diabetes, coronary heart disease or hypertension and who are recorded in in Siilinjärvi Health Care Center electronic patient record. The participating patients are recruited from those who contacts SiiIinjärvi Health Care Center in order to have a follow-up visit because of the treatment of their disease. This study aims to recruit 700 patients. The participants are allocated into the intervention group and into the control group receiving usual care. Intervention consists of the PPCP. This includes the patient activation questionnaire form, a visit to the nurse who conducts the measurements (blood pressure, waist measurement, weight and length) and a visit to the general practitioner who discusses and agrees with the patient about the treatment goals and follow-up resulting in the written PPCP. The main out-come measures are the quality of health related life measured with the 15D; the level of patient's activity in self-care with the Patient Activation Measurement (PAM); life satisfaction, self-rated health, a reduction in productivity with the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI: GH), and the disease specific measures (blood pressure, HbA1C, LDL-cholesterol, body mass index and waist measurement). In addition, pain intensity and interference (NRS 0-10), mood (BDI-21), the number of visits and phone calls and referrals are measured.
The goal of this project is to examine the physical mechanisms that contribute to improvements of glucose tolerance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) following certain types of bariatric surgery.
This is a community-based cluster randomized control trial aimed to investigate the impact of lifestyle modification (diet, physical activity, alcohol drinking and smoking) on the development of dementia, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, cancers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiovascular disease in an intermediate risk population in mixed urban-rural areas of Ubon Ratchathani.
Pasta is an important example of a food which can lower the glycemic index (GI) of the diet, a property that has been exploited extensively in studies of low GI dietary patterns. Although low-GI dietary patterns have been shown to improve body weight, glycemic control and blood lipids, it is unclear whether pasta as part of low-GI dietary patterns will improve measures of global adiposity including body weight. The lack of high quality knowledge syntheses to support evidence-based dietary guidance of the cardiometabolic benefits of pasta represents an urgent call for stronger evidence. To improve evidence-based guidance for pasta recommendations, the investigators propose to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled studies in humans to assess the effect of eating pasta as part of a low GI diet compared to other diets on measures of adiposity (body fatness) in humans. The systematic review process allows the combining of the results from many studies in order to arrive at a pooled estimate, similar to a weighted average, of the true effect. The investigators will be able to explore whether eating pasta as part of a low GI diet has different effects between men and women, in different age groups and in people with high or normal sugar. The findings of this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of Canadians through informing recommendations for the general public, as well as those at risk of heart disease and diabetes.
The present study investigates relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its risk factors, such as genetic background and diseases, such as chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the effectiveness of modified Sensor designs on the longevity (up to 180 days) of the Senseonics Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. The investigation will also evaluate safety of the Senseonics CGM System usage, while in the clinic and during home use.
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the accuracy of the Eversense Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (Eversense System) measurements when compared with a Self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) meter. The investigation will assess device performance in two insertion locations (abdomen and upper arm), evaluate safety of the Eversense System usage, and assess the usability of the Eversense system in the hands of user at home setting. Changes in HbA1c from baseline will also be evaluated.
