Filter by:The main aim and objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of low dose aspirin vs omega 3 fatty acids as adjuvants to non-surgical periodontal therapy and also to evaluate the levels of pentraxin 3 and glycosylated haemoglobin in diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis
This study will explore the effects of eight weeks of time-restricted feeding (TRF) on body weight and composition, glycaemic control, 24-hour glucose profiles, glucoregulatory hormones, and cardiovascular risk in men at high risk of type 2 diabetes. The investigators hypothesise that 8 weeks of TRF will reduce body weight, improve body composition, improve glycaemic control and blood lipid profiles. The potential mechanism will be explored in terms of the changes in gene expression patterns and multi-omics level (e.g., adipose tissue transcriptome, blood proteome).
Evaluation of the improvement of the overall glycemic control after 6 months of treatment with ABO-GLYC, as a result of reduction of HbA1c and/or post-prandial glycemic peak.
To investigate in vitro the effect of triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TGRL) obtained in type 2 diabetic women in the fasting state and following a randomized isocaloric lipid rich breakfast on control human platelets Randomized Comparison of butter versus chocolate spread in 2 groups of 15 patients
Chinese Americans are one of the fastest growing immigrant groups in the US, who suffer disproportionately high type 2 diabetes (T2D) burden and have poorly controlled T2D. Despite the well-documented T2D disparities in this minority group, limited work has been conducted to improve health outcomes in Chinese Americans. The goal of this Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) is to expedite the candidate's transition to an independent investigator who possesses focused expertise in development and evaluation of culturally and linguistically tailored and sustainable interventions to reduce T2D disparities in Chinese Americans. In the K99 phase of this award, the candidate will obtain critical training needed to accomplish this goal and will develop a short message service (SMS) intervention to improve T2D management in Chinese Americans. More specifically, the aims are to 1) characterize barriers and facilitators of glycemic control in Chinese Americans with T2D (Aim 1a); 2) develop culturally and linguistically tailored SMS intervention content (Aim 1b); and 3) assess the feasibility and acceptability of the SMS intervention in a pre-, post-test study (Aim 1c). In the R00 phase, the candidate will refine the SMS intervention based on the K99 pilot data and evaluate the proof-of-concept regarding its efficacy in a pilot randomized controlled trial among 66 Chinese Americans with T2D (Aim 2). Participants will be randomized to one of 2 arms (n=30 each): 1) wait-list control and 2) SMS intervention. Both groups will continue to receive standard of care treatment for their T2D. The SMS group will receive brief lifestyle counseling videos via SMS links. At the end of the study, the wait-list control group will be provided the opportunity to receive the SMS-based counseling videos. Measurements will be obtained at baseline, 3, and 6 months. The primary outcome is HbA1c and secondary outcomes include self-efficacy, diabetes self-management behaviors, dietary intake and physical activity behaviors. Linear mixed modeling will be used to examine the group and group by time interaction effects between the SMS intervention and wait-list control group. Findings from this R00 study will inform a larger full-scale R01 efficacy trial of the SMS intervention, and ultimately, establish the candidate's program of research focused on developing and testing sustainable interventions to reduce disparities in chronic disease outcomes in Chinese Americans. This project can serve as a program model for other chronic disease interventions in Chinese Americans that require lifestyle modification (e.g., prediabetes, hypertension), or for disparities research in other high-risk immigrant populations (e.g., South Asians, Hispanic Americans).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the collaborative care model in Singapore in which clinical pharmacists, nurses and dietitians are active participants who collaborate with physicians in caring for patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).Since DM is a cardiovascular risk equivalent, co-morbidities such as hypertension (HTN) and dyslipidaemia (DLP) will also be evaluated to assess the holistic care provided for the investigator's patients afflicted with these top chronic diseases in Singapore.
The primary aim of this proposed project is to collect pilot data using an Emotion-Focused CBT Psycho-social Intervention i individuals with T2D to obtain the effect sizes on hypothesized changes in Negative Emotionality, Diabetes Distress, and HbA1c values that will be needed for a more appropriately sized clinical trial for an RO1 submission to the National Institutes of Health.
This study will investigate the effects of curcumin on the structure/function of the body by investigating whether targeted improvement of intestinal barrier function by supplementation with oral curcumin will result in attenuation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) translocation and/or intestinal inflammation.
The HEAL-D feasibility trial is a randomised control study to determine the feasibility of conducting an effectiveness trial of the Healthy Eating & Active Lifestyles for Diabetes programme; a culturally-tailored diet and lifestyle intervention for the management of type 2 diabetes in African and Caribbean communities. In this feasibility study HEAL-D will be evaluated against usual care in 80 patients with type 2 diabetes. HEAL-D is a programme of culturally-tailored diabetes self-management education and support, delivered over 7 sessions. Key outcomes are the acceptability of the programme; and recruitment and retention of the research participants. The current study will also pilot the feasibility and acceptability to participants of measuring proposed primary and secondary outcomes including HbA1c, blood lipids (triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol), body weight, waist circumference, diabetes knowledge, diabetes and dietary competence, diabetes empowerment, perceived social support, quality of life, dietary intake, and physical activity.
One of the potential ideal strategy for NAFLD treatment may be manipulation with gut microbiota. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Omega-3 fatty acids belong to the family of polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are known to exert a strong positive influence on metabolism and inflammation. The data from animal studies suggested that both probiotics and omega-3 can affect body weight, influence on glucose and fat metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce chronic systemic inflammation. In respect to experimental data, the current study aim was to provide double-blind single center RCT, for study the efficacy of co-administration of probiotic with omega-3 vs. placebo in type 2 diabetes patient with NAFLD detected on ultrasonography
