Filter by:Aim: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of the tidal model on distress, self-management and psychological well-being in individuals with diabetes. It is thought that this study will contribute to the literature, nursing profession and patients with diabetes.
This is a multicenter study of patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) to develop and validate potential tissue-based biomarkers that predict DFU wound recurrence. Trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) will be measured on the closed wound site and a location similar to the wound site (reference site). Participants will be enrolled within two weeks after closure of their DFU. Complete wound healing will be verified at a second visit two weeks later and this visit will start the 16 week timeline where participants will be followed weekly by phone until the earliest of DFU wound recurrence or 16 weeks. Participants who experience a DFU wound recurrence and a subset of participants who do not experience a DFU wound recurrence by week 16 will be asked to attend one final visit.
In France, chronic end-stage renal disease affects more than 11,000 new patients each year who will require dialysis or renal transplantation, of whom approximately 22.6% of new cases are related to diabetes. Among them, about 94% are managed by hemodialysis (HD), the others by peritoneal dialysis (PD). In addition, nearly 42% of dialysis patients have diabetes. There are issues related to glycemic control during dialysis and specific to each dialysis technique. Thus, hypoglycemic risk is the main risk observed during hemodialysis sessions, linked in particular to the use of a 1g/L glucose free dialysate, a decrease in renal neoglucogenesis and alterations in metabolic pathways. In addition, long-term glycemic control is difficult to assess in dialysis patients, because of the limitations of HbA1c witch is frequently underestimated. This can be explained by 2 mechanisms: - EPO treatment is associated with an increase in the proportion of young érythrocytes - reduction in the lifetime of red blood cells reducing the duration of interaction between glucose and hemoglobin. The results of studies conducted using continuous glucose measurements over a short period of time (48 hours to 5 days) suggest a benefit in using continuous glucose measurement to detect glycemic fluctuations during dialysis. To our knowledge, no studies have been conducted to evaluate longer-term glycemic control with this technology. In addition, the investigators now have the Freestyle, which allows us to record the continuous measurement of interstitial glucose over a longer period of time and is reimbursed for people on insulin basal-bolus protocol. Thus, the investigators propose an observational study to evaluate glycemic control during dialysis sessions, but also to analyze the correlation between parameters measured with Freestyle and HbA1c measured routinely, according to the follow-up recommendations in diabetics.
The purpose of the Take Charge Study is to determine among overweight and obese men and women with type 2 diabetes whether 1) participating in a commercial weight loss program promotes great weight loss and weight loss maintenance at one year compared to usual care conditions and 2) whether there is a differential weight loss response to different dietary macronutrient composition (lower carbohydrate/higher fat diet versus a higher carbohydrate/lower fat).
Older persons with diabetes have a harder time maintaining blood pressure when standing up. When blood pressure drops when standing up, fainting may occur. This study will see how regular exercise can improve the ability of the body to keep blood pressure up when standing. We want to see how this improvement varies with different types of exercise. The types of exercise that we will be studying are aerobic (running or cycling on a stationary bike) and strength training (weight lifting).
In this study we intend to find out the pattern of biofilm accumulation in vivo on various surface finishings. Our intention is to prepare Polymethylmetacrylate squers on orthodontical brackets,then prepare the surface of the sample and measure the surface roughness with a profilimeter and get the mean value in Ra units, then place the brackets on lower premolars and molars for 12 hours, remove them and examine the biofilm formed with confocal scanning microscope.
