Filter by:In this study, using 18F-FDG and Gd-DTPA PET/MRI, we are aiming to perform a dynamic PET/MRI imaging using 18F-FDG and Me4FDG for a group of type 2 diabetic patients scheduled for Glifozine therapy due to the bad metabolic control to assess changes in renal function before and 1 to 2 weeks after initiating therapy with Gliflozine. Furthermore we aim to study the temporal behavior of 18F-FDG and Me4FDG activity in certain kidney regions of the diabetic participants to estimate basic kidney parameters using time activity curve. Further, we intend to find a kinetic model that describes the behavior of glucose in each part of the kidney can be acquired mathematically and to find out whether conclusions about the glucose reabsorption capability of the kidney in diabetes can be achieved in general. In addition, we aim to simultaneously determine renal lesions as well as obstructions with the fused, high definition, and three dimensional images of the kidney and estimate kidney function parameters from the dynamic Gd-DTPA MRI scan and compare them to the kidney function determined with the kinetic model.
Patients with uncontrolled diabetes [glycated hemoglobin (Hba1c)>8.5%] from low socioeconomic status neighborhoods in Jerusalem will be recruited. They will be randomly assigned to an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group will be offered a bonus to buy their medications, 100 Israeli Shekels (ILS) (30$) each month for 3 months, if they reduce their HBA1c by 0.7% or if their HbA1c level reaches 7.5%. After 6 months they will be eligible for another bonus for one month if they improve their HbA1c by 0.3% from the previous test. The control group will buy medications as usual. All participants will be contacted by phone and will be encouraged to contact their doctor, to perform blood tests and to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
A Phase III, single-centre, randomized, 2-arm, parallel-group, double blind, placebo-controlled study, consisting of a screening phase (Days -14 to -1), a 4-week double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment phase and a 4-week follow-up phase. Subjects: Type 2 diabetic patients and coronary artery diseases (CAD) not requiring revascularization or underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) but clinically stable at time of screening visit, with suboptimal glycaemic control (HbA1c 7.0-8.5%) on their current anti-hyperglycaemic regimen Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to dapagliflozin or placebo. Subjects will undergo screening assessment in the 14-day period preceding administration of the first dose of study drug on Day 1. The primary Objective is to assess the effect of dapagliflozin on myocardial insulin sensitivity The Secondary Objective is to assess global heart function, and metabolic systemic effects of dapagliflozin, and glycemic control. The study aims to enroll patients with type 2 diabetes with suboptimal glycemic control, and with coronary artery diseases (CAD) not requiring revascularization or underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) but clinically stable, who have already undergone, under routine cardiological assessment, a positron emission tomography (PET) 13NH3 scan in order to assess the cardiovascular function. Thus, the study aims to assess whether the improvement in cardiac metabolism obtained with dapagliflozin is greater than that obtained with normal clinical practice (according to Standards of Care).
Questionnaire study to investigate the effect of individual characteristics such as age, sex, ethnicity, educational level and socioeconomic status on the preferred format of patient education delivery, for patients with diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease
