Filter by:(Intervention study) The objective of the study is to confirm the superiority of the intensive therapy to the conventional therapy concerning the prevention of the incidence or exacerbation of vascular complications caused by diabetes mellitus (DM) by a randomized controlled study in patients with type 2 DM. (Follow-up study) The objective of the follow-up study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of intensive versus conventional therapy in the effect on mortality and the prevention of the incidence or exacerbation of vascular complications caused by diabetes mellitus through a post-intervention follow-up research conducted after the multi-center, open-label, randomized parallel-group study comparing the efficacy of intensive versus conventional therapy in type 2 diabetic patients.
The purpose is to study whether the positive effects from obesity surgery in adults also can be achieved when adolescent subjects are operated. Our hypothesis is that the effects concerning weight loss, health improvement and improved quality of life will be as good in adolescents as in adults.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a structured stress relief management program can prevent the progression of late diabetic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.
The University of Ottawa and Élisabeth Bruyère Research Institute are conducting a study of preventive care for frail patients at risk of functional decline. At risk patients are assigned by chance to continue receiving their standard care from their family physician or receive additional care from a nurse practitioners and a pharmacist. In collaboration with the family physician, they develop an individualized care plan, a treatment and management road plan, for each patient, which they implement over the study period of one approximately year. The objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of the model of care that includes the nurse practitioners and pharmacist against standard care in preventing functional decline, to determine the acceptability of this model of care to patients, their caregivers and the medical team, and to evaluate the cost implication of the program.
This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of sugar water to relieve pain in newborn infants during painful blood tests and injections. Infants of diabetic mothers who receive repeated blood tests will be compared to infants of healthy mothers who receive routine painful procedures. We believe that administration of sucrose analgesia for every painful cutaneous procedure performed after delivery will result in less pain during the newborn infant screening test.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether printed educational materials can change physician behaviour towards more evidence based decision-making.
The purpose of this study is to test whether providing personalized diabetes self-management recommendations and feedback improves blood sugar control more than providing generalized diabetes educational material alone.
The purpose of this study is to document relevant and related clinical changes associated with different hemoglobin concentrations in diabetic hemodialysis patients. Hypothesis: The expansile capacity of blood vessels is affected by different hemoglobin concentrations in diabetic hemodialysis patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of transplanting human islet cells for controlling hyperglycemia in brittle and/or complex patients with type 1 diabetes. In addition, initial observations will be made with regards to the effectiveness of reversing hypoglycemia with this treatment. The "Edmonton Protocol" of using specific anti-rejection drugs without steroids is also being evaluated.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether an intensified multifactorial intervention program about cardiovascular risk factors in subjects with peripheral arterial disease (with and without diabetes mellitus), can improve the control of these factors (mainly hypercholesterolemia and hypertension) in relation to the habitual care
