A Research Study Looking at How Semaglutide Works in People With Type 2 Diabetes in Canada, as Part...
Diabetes MellitusType 2The purpose of the study is to collect information on how semaglutide works in real world patients. Participants will get semaglutide prescribed by the study doctor. The study will last for about 6 to 8 months. Participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires about the health and the diabetes treatment. Participants will complete these during the normally scheduled visits with the study doctor.
Eliminating Hepatitis C Virus
Hepatitis CHIV1 moreInitially, HCV Informatics (C-IT) will be used to filter the EMR data of the one million people who receive care at Mount Sinai and identify candidates for HCV testing (baby boomers, patients with HIV infection) and candidates for HCV treatment (patients with positive test results for HCV RNA and no record of treatment).once treatment candidates have been identified through this proactive approach, their providers will be directly notified. HCV champions and patient navigators will be used to further lower barriers to the delivery of HCV care. They will be co-located at non-hepatology care sites and will help deliver open-label HCV treatment as part of standard medical care to 500 HIV/HCV co-infected patients and 200 patients with type 2 diabetes.
Better Diabetes Control, Quality - Educate to Achieve Compliance.
Diabetes Type 2Prospective study to evaluate the impact of an educational programme about diabetes, comparing to normal clinical practice, on treatment compliance and disease control of people with type 2 diabetes followed in the primary care units in Portugal
Glucagon-like Peptide (GLP) Utilization and Safety
Diabetes MellitusType 2This study will assess the utilization patterns (adherence, source of the index antidiabetic agent (ADA) and treatment modification) of the marketed glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (exenatide and liraglutide), dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors (sitagliptin, saxagliptin, and linagliptin) and other ADAs and the incidence rate of acute pancreatitis among the users of these GLP-1 receptor agonists and users of DPP-4 inhibitors, separately, in comparison to other ADAs. The proposed study will help in understanding the treatment utilization patterns and the incidence rate of acute pancreatitis among users of the marketed GLP-1 receptor agonists. This study differs from previous observational studies by including both exenatide and liraglutide and follow-up time is expected to be longer in the current study (2005 - 2011). This study will be a retrospective cohort study conducted in the Truven (Thomson Reuters) commercial health insurance database from 2005-2011.

Arterial Stiffness and Complication Risk in Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes MellitusType 23 moreBackground The prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing globally. A common complication of diabetes is the disease of the blood vessels, vascular diseases, which can cause disorders like myocardial infarction, stroke and kidney failure. Methods to detect early subclinical stages of macro-vascular disease are not yet available in a clinical setting. Hypothesis Arterial stiffness, an easy accessible vascular parameter, may provide additional prognostic information when evaluating risk profile for patients with diabetes type 2. Aim The aim of the project is to investigate the association between arterial stiffness and the occurrence and development of vascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. Specifically we want to investigate: in a cross-sectional study, the association between arterial stiffness and subclinical atherosclerotic changes in the coronary arteries assessed by computed tomography (CT) and in a longitudinal study, the predictive value of arterial stiffness on the development of subclinical cerebrovascular changes assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nephropathy assessed by urine analysis. Methods The study population consists of 100 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and 100 age- and sex matched controls. The study participants were enrolled between 2008-2011 and extensively characterized i.a. with arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity), MRI (white matter lesions and cerebral infarctions) and urine analysis (albuminuria). In this study we will enrol the same patients in a 5 year follow-up study in order to repeat above mentioned measurements. Furthermore, CT is used to investigate the coronary plaque burden of the participants (Agatston Score and Segment Involvement Score). Results and Perspective This project adds new insight into arterial stiffness as a predictor of the progression of micro- and macrovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes, and can potentially improve risk stratification and early strategies of intervention in this patient group.
Morbidity in Newly Diagnosed type2 Diabetes in Adults
Type2 Diabetes MellitusComplicationsIt is a prospective,observational, cohort study The main purpose of the study is to assess the prevalence of diabetic chronic complications in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics in suburban area of Algiers. The secondary purpose is to study the impact of diabetic renal complications as a risk factor on the atherothrombotic events.
Therapeutic Efficacy of "Abroma Agusta" in HbA1c % in NIDDM
Type II Diabetes MellitusObjective: To ascertain whether homoeopathic medicine ABROMA AUGUSTA has a clinical role in changing the Glycated Hb Level in Diabetes mellitus Type II. Abstract: Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most important epidemic diseases in the world in this century, and accounts for 90% of cases of diabetes globally. Studies have suggested that Abroma Augusta plays a role in acute controlling blood glucose level. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of "Abroma Augusta Ѳ" in chronic control through GlycatedHb (HbA1c %) in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (NIDDM) as a pretest post-test study.
