Filter by:NLRP3 plays a key role in endothelial function and may be a link for the known interaction of periodontitis and diabetes. The investigators compared the impact of gingival health, periodontitis (CP), diabetes or of both diseases (CP +diabetes) on saliva and serum NLRP3levels.
Investigators will test the long-term health effects of eating a dairy-based protein-rich breakfast and/or performing regular physical training for 12 weeks in 100 previous 'breakfast skipping' young overweight women (2 x 2 factorial design). Measurements of body composition, physical fitness, metabolic health parameters, faeces (microbiota activity and composition), satiety and daily energy intake will be collected.
This research is being done to learn if a new type of haploidentical transplantation using TCR alpha beta and CD19 depleted stem cell graft from the donor is safe and effective to treat the patient's underlying condition. This study will use stem cells obtained via peripheral blood or bone marrow from parent or other half-matched family member donor. These will be processed through a special device called CliniMACS, which is considered investigational.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging pandemic in 2020 caused by a novel coronavirus named SARS-CoV2. Diabetes confers a significant additional risk for COVID-19 patients. Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed ubiquitously in many tissues. In addition to its effect on glucose levels, DPP-4 has various effects on the immune system and several diseases, including lung diseases. This trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of linagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, in the treatment of COVID-19. The trial will be randomized without blinding, with one are treated by insulin only for glucose balance and the other by insulin and linagliptin. The trial will assess the effects of linagliptin on different measures of COVID-19 recovery.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that a new protein substitute is acceptable and well tolerated in children with PKU.

The main objective of this study is to compare the effect of 6 sessions of shock wave therapy versus radiofrequency followed by a protocol of moderate aerobic exercise, in the reduction of adiposity and abdominal flaccidity, in females between 18 and 60 years old. As a secondary objective, it is intended to understand the mechanism of fat mobilization by these two therapies.
A prospective, randomized, mixed double- and single-blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over clinical trial to test whether acute treatment with an IL-1 receptor antagonist impacts insulin secretion over time during the cephalic phase, defined as the first 10 minutes after the first sensorial contact to food, in healthy individuals in healthy humans (Group 1) and in obese patients with type 2 diabetes (Group 2).
The long term goal is to identify the potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of obesity and its associated disorders by studying the driving factors of activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in human adults. Whereas activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in human adults has been considered as a potential therapeutic target to battle obesity since it was identified in 2009, the underlying mechanisms of beige adipocytes appearance in human adults is unclear. The objective of this proposal is to investigate the role of autophagy in mediating the inhibitory effect of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in regulating human brown adipocytes. The central hypothesis is that autophagy plays a critical role in regulating browning of white adipose tissue and mediates the beneficial effect of mTORC1 inhibition on thermogenesis in human brown adipocytes.
Epidemiological studies are usually conducted in the general population in adults without complications or pathology at baseline. The results obtained are therefore often better designed for primary prevention use. The prediction of mortality risk in patients with complications and requiring hospital follow-up is less well known. The study purpose is to determine a mortality risk profile in a hospital cohort of patients with pathologies associated with metabolic diseases. Today the "multimaker" scores based on a panel of biomarkers - have significantly improved the discriminating power of prediction models existing in many pathologies. It is no longer a single biomarker that can improve risk prediction but a complete and cross-sectional profile that is sought after. We aim to establish a personalised mortality risk profile by combining clinical and biological parameters including metabolomics, genetics, transcriptomics and epigenomics by high throughput screening of biological samples.
