Filter by:In diabetic patients, serum endocan level has been significantly increased in patients and the levels on the long-term complications are correlated. Based on the Iinformation obtained from these studies, it can be said that there is a strong association between diabetes and serum endocan levels.
This study was a double-blind multicenter randomized controlled study.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an increasingly common condition of pregnancy and is associated with adverse foetal, infant, and maternal outcomes. Over 50% of women with history of GDM will develop type 2 diabetes (T2D) in later life. Asian women experience disproportionate risk of both GDM and T2D compared to women from other ethnic groups. Lifestyle interventions have been proven to be effective in preventing progression to T2DM in high-risk populations. This is a two-arm, parallel feasibility RCT. Sixty Malaysian women with GDM will be randomized to receive the intervention or standard care in the antenatal period to 12 months postpartum. The intervention is a diabetes prevention intervention delivered via a smartphone application developed based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model of behavior change and group support utilizing motivational interviewing, which will provide women with tailored information and support to encourage weight loss through adapted dietary intake and physical activity. Women in the control arm will receive standard care.
The goal of the study is to examine the impact of an educational video on the rate of breastfeeding in mothers who had gestational diabetes mellitus, and the rate of type-II diabetes mellitus diagnosed postpartum.
Participants will be randomized and divided into 3 groups. The exercise program prepared for the 1st group gestational diabetes will be explained to the pregnant women by the physiotherapist and the exercises will be taught to the patient. They do these exercises as home exercise with 10 repetitions 3 days a week, until the 34th week of pregnancy. In the second group, the same exercise program will be given to the participants only as a brochure and they will be asked to do 10 repetitions at home, 3 days a week, until the 34th week of pregnancy. In the 3rd group, the participants will not be given any exercise program, they will be asked to continue their routine care.
This study aims to determine the feasibility and acceptability of using telehealth in the care of women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) by providing a self-learning alternative via an online portal compared to a one-to-one dietary education, conducted face-to-face in a dietitian clinic. The investigators hypothesize that the use of technology would enable a higher percentage of women to receive the necessary dietary education, thereby empowering behaviour change and resulting in positive maternal blood glucose control and pregnancy outcomes. The primary hypothesis is that the new care model will reach out to a higher proportion compared to the conventional model (Service utilization), as determined by the completion of the online self-learning, comparing it to attendance rates with the conventional model. The secondary hypothesis is that the new care model will be able to provide care that would be comparable to those in the traditional outpatient clinic setting, as measured by the blood glucose and pregnancy outcomes, as well as patient satisfaction and patient experience.
This study aims to investigate the presence and characteristics of maternal diabetes as a risk factor in newborns with hearing loss. Hearing loss is one of the most common congenital anomalies among newborns. The newborn hearing screening program is important for early diagnosis in newborns with hearing loss.Gestational diabetes, on the other hand, is a metabolic disease that occurs during pregnancy and can cause complications as in other diabetes mellitus patients. Despite our knowledge of major complications, the effect of the hyperglycemic intrauterine environment on hearing outcomes has not been adequately studied. The inner ear does not store energy, so it has a particularly high sensitivity to altered blood sugar and insulin. Altered inner ear metabolism leads to auditory and balance disorders. There is no study in the literature comparing uncomplicated gestational diabetes and pregestational diabetes as a prenatal complication that poses a risk of hearing loss.
The type of the study is a cross sectional descriptive using questionnaire method in Sohag governorate among 500 Women, over 6 months by random selection and they will be asked to answer the questions of prepared and copied questionnaire sheet. Inclusion criteria: all women can participate in this questionnaire.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes mellitus with normal glucose metabolism before pregnancy. Pregnant women with prepubertal diabetes have complicated clinical experiences, and the effects of severe disease or poor glycemic control on mothers and infants. The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus is very high, and the short-term and long-term complications of the mother and the child are higher. Through the detection of blood samples, we can not only obtain the basic information related to the disease such as blood cells and blood biochemistry, but also learn the important information such as enzymes, antibodies and cell metabolites in the blood that are conducive to the diagnosis of the disease. More importantly, blood contains genetic material (such as genomic DNA) that can be used to screen for genes and break down molecules. Placenta tissue examination can provide important cellular, biochemical, immunological and other information. However, due to the complex etiology of gestational diabetes. Especially associated with genetic or immunological factors, in the short term often cannot make a definite diagnosis, and patients in hospital time is limited, some check items such as gene detection, placental tissue can't complete them in hospital, need to return the patient's blood, cord blood and placenta tissue, to facilitate later further screening and biology research. This study intended to establish gestational diabetes patient's blood, cord blood and placenta tissue samples library, screening is closely related to the disease biomarkers, such as disease-causing gene mutations, susceptible gene mutation and protein metabolism product, so as to clarify disease relationship between genotype and clinical phenotype, the pathogenesis of diseases, etc., and provide the basis for the diagnosis of disease and treatment optimization.
Background: Limited studies have explored the difference of fatty acid profile between women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and the results were inconsistent. Individual fatty acids tend to be interrelated because of the shared food sources and metabolic pathways. Thus, whether fatty acid patters during pregnancy were related to GDM odds needs further exploration. Objective: We aim to identify plasma fatty acid patters during pregnancy and their associations with odds of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Design: A hospital-based case-control study was carried out in urban Wuhan, China from August 2012 to April 2015. Pregnant women who screened for GDM at the outpatient clinics of the Department of Endocrinology, Tongji Hospital were invited to participant in the study. The inclusion criteria were as follows: 1) age ≥ 20 years; 2) gestational age at GDM screening ≥ 24 weeks; 3) singleton pregnancy. We excluded women who met any of the following items: history of diabetes (including but not limited to GDM), cardiovascular disease, cancer or other systemic diseases; pharmacologic treatment or dietary supplement use that might influence glucose or lipids metabolism; accompanied by other pregnancy complications; blood sample hemolysis or insufficiency; incomplete basic information. The diagnosis of GDM can be made if one or more glucose values are above the cut points of 5.1, 10.0 and 8.5 mmol/L at fasting, 1 and 2 h during a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Controls were randomly selected and individually matched to cases by age (± 2 years), gestational age (± 2 weeks) and parity. Finally, 217 GDM cases and 217 matched controls were selected in this study. All participants gave written informed consent before enrolling in the study. Fasting blood samples (≥ 8 h overnight fasting) were collected using anticoagulant tubes and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 min. Plasma were separated from blood cells and stored at -80 ℃ for further assay. We measured plasma concentrations of fatty acids by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry, and derived potential fatty acid patterns trough principle components analysis. Conditional logistic regression and restricted cubic spline model were used to evaluate the associations between individual fatty acids or fatty acid patterns and odds of GDM.
