Filter by:The prevalence of diabetes and hyperglycaemia in surgical patients is rising and associated with grater complication rates, length of stay and mortality rates. Suboptimal glucose management in the perioperative setting remains a major barrier to optimal surgical care. While there are guidelines to manage perioperative diabetes care, implementation is challenging and inconsistent, in part due to a stretched workforce, involvement of several disciplines and clinical teams and shortcomings in clinical training and knowledge. Closed-loop glucose control represents an emerging diabetes treatment modality that autonomously adjusts insulin delivery according to continuously measured glucose levels. The use of fully automated closed-loop insulin delivery may represent an easy-to-adopt approach for safe and effective perioperative diabetes management.
The investigators followed a convenience sample of 114 overweight and obese subjects from a weight loss clinic who followed a 24-week dietary intervention. The subjects self-selected whether to follow a standardized ketogenic diet (n=53), or a personalised low-glycemic index (GI) diet utilising information from 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (n=61). After the 24-week study period, the subjects were monitored for an additional 18 months.
This study investigates whether bread with added galactomannan, a soluble fiber, can reduce the postprandial glucose response in healthy overweight adults.
Severe intraoperative hyperglycemia (SIH) is recognized as one of the important risk factors for the increasing of the postoperative infections rate, which can negatively affect the final outcome of surgical treatment. Studies in recent years have shown a much higher incidence of wound infections, respiratory and urinary tract infections in patients who intraoperatively had an increase in blood glucose level (BGL) above 180 mg/dl (10 mmol/l). This problem in neurosurgery is especially important due to the high proportion of patients with acute injuries and potentially long-term need for postoperative intensive care, as well as the frequent use of drugs that increase blood glucose level (steroids) in neurooncology. Most published studies include patients from both of these groups. This study is aimed to assess the impact of severe intraoperative hyperglycemia on the incidence of infectious complications only in patients scheduled for elective intracranial interventions.
Perioperative fasting remains a common clinical practice in surgical patients to prevent the development of postoperative anesthesia- and surgical-related complications. Clinical observational studies indicated that the combination catabolic effects resulted from prolonged perioperative fasting and profound surgical stress are likely to induce extensive protein catabolism, muscle breakdown and impaired glycemic control during postoperative phase, leading to the development of severe complications. Furthermore, prolonged gastrointestinal fasting is associated with microbial translocation that deteriorates the early recovery after surgery. This clinical trial anticipates in determining the beneficial effect of intraoperative feeding to improve intraoperative hemodynamics and enhance postoperative recovery due to attenuation of systemic catabolism and improvement of insulin sensitivity to glycemic control.
Determine the effect of feet and calf heating on glucose tolerance relative to thermoneutral control. Heat will be administered using hot water (40 degrees celsius).
Background: Hyperglycemia is encountered in 20% to 40% of acute stroke patients, with or without a pre-morbid diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycemia is a risk factor for infarct expansion and poor outcome through the first 72 hours of onset in both diabetics and non-diabetics patients. This study was done to evaluate the glycemic status after acute ischemic stroke and assess its rule in influencing stroke outcome as regards the duration of hospital stay, motor deficit and mortality. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in Elzaiton specialized hospital from June 2016 to June 2017on 80 patients after approval of local medical ethical committee. Patients with acute ischemic stroke without other major comorbidities within 24 hours of onset of symptoms were included and divided into two groups, controlled group (Random blood suger not more than 150 mg/dl) and uncontrolled group ( Random blood suger more than 150 mg/dl). All patients were evaluated for GCS as a primary outcome and for hemorrhagic transformation, hospital stay duration, mechanical ventilation, need for vasopressors,hospital stay and mortality as secondary outcomes.
Malnutrition or its risk is common among older people. To maintain adequate nutrition, increased meal frequency is important. In addition to main meals, regular consumption of nutrient- and energy-dense snacks is recommended. The study examines the post-meal responses to dairy- and berry-based snacks tailored for older people. The plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin and free fatty acids are measured during three hours after snack consumption. In addition, subjective satiety responses and heart rate variability are recorded.
This study evaluated to the effects of a glycaemic control protocol directed by nurses during the perioperative period on glycaemic outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The study was conducted at the department of general surgery of a research and training hospital.The study included 47 patients who underwent elective major abdominal surgery between September 2017 and December 2018. The number of patients in the intervention and the control groups was 22 and 25, respectively. The glycemia control protocol will be used in the glycemia management of intervention group,routine glycemia management will be used in the control group.
One of the main challenges in maintaining tight glucose control in a closed-loop system occurs at meal times. Amylin is a gluco-regulatory beta-cell hormone that is co-secreted with insulin in response to nutrient stimuli, and is deficient in patients with type 1 diabetes. Amylin, in the postprandial period, contributes to regulating glucose levels by delaying gastric emptying, suppressing nutrient-stimulated glucagon secretion, and increasing satiety. Pramlintide is a synthetic analog of the hormone amylin. A closed-loop system that delivers both insulin and pramlintide, based on glucose sensor readings, has the potential to better normalize glucose levels, especially during the post-prandial period. The aim of this project is to assess whether co-administration of pramlintide with the improved insulin aspart formulation - Fiasp, in an artificial pancreas system, will alleviate the need for carb counting by replacing it with a simple meal announcement, without degrading the quality of glycemic control in a closed-loop therapy.
