Diabetes and Cognitive Functions in Middle Age
Diabetes MellitusType 24 moreThis study will examine the effects of type II diabetes on cognitive functions and mood in middle-aged patients. In addition, the association between cognitive functions and glycemic controls is studied in patients. Sixty patients and sixty healthy controls will be recruited and assessed by a multiprofessional team (neuropsychologist, physician).
Hydroxychloroquine Versus Pioglitazone in Combination Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 With HyperglycemiaA 4-month, randomized, prospective, open-label comparison trial of hydroxychloroquine vs. pioglitazone in type 2 diabetic patients inadequately controlled on maximally tolerated doses of metformin plus a sulfonylurea.
Pregnancy and EARly Lifestyle Improvement Study
ObesityHyperglycemiaThe investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial in 200 overweight/obese pregnant women and their offspring. The prenatal intervention will emphasize improving diet and physical activity. The lifestyle intervention will be delivered within an empowerment theoretical framework through a combination of group sessions, individual counseling, and by monitoring compliance to diet and physical activity to further tailor the intervention. The post-partum intervention sessions will include mothers and their offspring and will focus on breastfeeding, improving physical activity and quality of the diet and feeding practices through the first post-partum year. As part of routine prenatal care, participants in both the control and intervention arms will be given health-related advice. Since the majority of participants are expected to be eligible for the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, both groups will also receive assistance through WIC as per their routine policies. Our primary outcome is Gestational Weight Gain (GWG). The major secondary outcome of interest is infant BMI z-score at 12 months of age, and the investigators will also be evaluating several metabolic outcomes in mothers and infants.
Effects of Arm Cycling and Leg Cycling on Postprandial Blood Glucose Levels in Healthy Persons
HyperglycemiaPostprandialThe literature has shown that exercise is effective in decreasing blood glucose levels. However, it remains less clear if there is any difference between muscle groups regarding the glucose-lowering effects of exercise. The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in blood-glucose level changes in response to exercise that involves different muscle groups.
Hospital Management of Hyperglycemia Study of Insulin Glargine Plus Insulin Lispro Versus Human...
HyperglycemiaThe purpose of this study is to compare the use of insulin glargine plus insulin lispro to human regular insulin for treatment of hyperglycemia in the hospital setting in patients without known prior history of diabetes.
Metformin and Transient Hyperglycemia
Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaHyperglycemia2 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine whether metformin is an effective adjunctive treatment for transient hyperglycemia in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing induction chemotherapy
A Study to Determine Safety and Efficacy of (REMD-477) in Controlling Hyperglycemia Due to Copanlisib...
Hyperglycemia Drug InducedREMD-477 (Volagidemab) is a human anti-glucagon receptor antibody. Its proposed mechanism of action in controlling hyperglycemia is by blocking glucagon receptor (GCGR) signaling. In this way, it increases hepatic glucose uptake, decreases hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, increases glycogen synthesis, and ultimately decreases blood glucose levels. This protocol will test the hypotheses that REMD-477 is safe and tolerable in patients with severe hyperglycemia on copanlisib and that it decreases the risk of severe hyperglycemia in patients receiving copanlisib for relapsed refractory lymphoma
Evaluation of Flash Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Reduce Hyperglycemia in People With T2 Diabetes...
Diabetes MellitusType 2A multi-center, randomized, prospective, non-significant risk study to compare the impact of the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System with and without a food logging smartphone application on reducing time above 180 mg/dL in subjects with type 2 diabetes who are not adequately controlled on their existing oral anti-diabetes medication regimen.

Intravenous Fat Emulsions and Premature Infants
HypertriglyceridemiaHyperglycemiaThe purpose of this study is to study the tolerances of Extremely Low Birthweight Infants who are born at less than 750 grams who are started at a higher infusion rate of intravenous lipid emulsions (2 gm/kg/day). These infants will be compared with a control group who are at the standard lipid emulsion infusion rate (0.5 gm/kg/day). hypothesis: A. Objectives of this project. Null Hypothesis: There will not be a significant difference for Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants (ELBW) <750 grams being able to tolerate a higher infusion rate of Intravenous Fat Emulsions (IVFE) within the first days of life (days 1-7) as evidenced by maintenance of a serum triglyceride level of 200 mg/dl or less. Alternative Hypothesis: There will be a significant difference (p<0.05) for Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants (ELBW) <750 grams being able to tolerate a higher infusion rate of Intravenous Fat Emulsions (IVFE) within the first days of life (days 1-7) as evidenced by maintenance of a serum triglyceride level of 200 mg/dl or less.
