Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Ketoacidosis"

To determine if co-administration of subcutaneous (SQ)Insulin glargine in combination with intravenous (IV) insulin decreases the time to resolution of ketoacidosis and requirement for ICU admission compared to IV insulin with delayed administration of SQ glargine for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 study. Specific aim is to evaluate feasibility and safety of anti-IL-1 (interleukin 1) treatment in the course of standard therapy for diabetic ketoacidosis in children and its effect on intracranial pressure.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a severe complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), is the leading cause of hospitalization, morbidity and mortality in patients with DM (1). DKA is associated with hyperglycemic crises and featured by metabolic acidosis, the production of ketoacids, volume depletion, and electrolyte imbalance. Due to glucose-induced osmotic polyuria and even emesis, volume depletion is a major cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in DKA patients (2).

To evaluate that change of platelet-to-lymphocyte Ratio affect the duration of hospital stay and mortality rate of DKA patients To assess the impact of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) on the prognosis of diabetic ketoacidosis patients To evaluate the changes in hematological parameters (RBCs,Hct,Hb,MCV,PLT,WBCs) and their correlations with acidosis level and dehydration during ketoacidosis treatment

This study involves looking at Cerebral oximetry measurements in pediatric and neonatal patients who are experiencing a critical illness. Such as Altered mental status, seizures, trauma, sepsis, etc.

Children with diabetic ketoacidosis risk neurological complications such as cerebral edema with high morbidity. To prevent cerebral edema, it is essential to control correction of hypovolemia, hyperglycemia and natremia. Markers usually used in management of diabetic ketoacidosis don't always permit an optimal care. Plasma copeptin levels reflect vasopressin secretion which is high in diabetic ketoacidosis. Therefore, monitoring of plasma copeptin levels could be of interest in children with diabetic ketoacidosis and risk of sévère neurological complications.

The main objective of this clinical trial is to study the metabolic effects of intravenous infusion of the ketone body, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), in patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy control subjects. Moreover, the investigators plan to examine regulatory mechanisms of 3-OHB that may be related to diabetic ketoacidosis. The hypotheses are: 3-OHB related inhibition of lipolysis is impaired in patients with type 1 diabetes. Intravenous infusion of 3-OHB affects signaling pathways involved in the metabolic regulation in patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls. 3-OHB infusion improves cardiac function in patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls. The effects of 3-OHB will be investigated by isotopic tracers examinations, fat and muscle biopsies and blood samples. To evaluate effects on cardiac function echocardiography will be performed.

Music intervention is a non-pharmacological and effective intervention that can alleviate anxiety and agitation in patients undergoing weaning. The effectiveness of music intervention in reducing anxiety of patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of music intervention on anxiety, agitation, sleep quality and physiological parameters on patients in ICU. This study was conducted from January to June 2019. A total of 196 hospitalized ICU patients were divided into two groups. Subjects in experimental group received 30 minutes music intervention for 3 days on bedside whereas subjects in control group received routine care only. The primary outcome was anxiety. Agitation Sedation Scale, sleep quality and physical parameters were selected to collect as secondary outcomes.There was no significant difference between the groups at baseline. The results of this study support that music can reduce anxiety and agitation levels in ICU's patient. Nurses can incorporate this intervention into the daily care in order to reduce the discomfort of patients.

This is a phase II trial in individuals who have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within the previous 12 months and suffered from diabetic ketoacidosis at onset of disease. The purpose of this study is to determine whether allogeneic umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell transplantation is effective in the treatment of patients with severe type 1 diabetes.

The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the metabolic effects of exogenous ketone ester food supplements, by assessing the change in blood acid-base balance, and the level of blood beta-hydroxy-butyrate in people with type 1 diabetes during resting conditions.
