Active clinical trials for "Metabolic Diseases"

This project investigated how glucose metabolism differs due to sleep deprivation for three consecutive nights as compared to sufficient sleep for three nights by examining concentrations of glucose, insulin, and other factors involved in glucose metabolism.

This is an observational study involving chart review of patients seen in the bariatric clinic since 2012 at The Ohio State University (OSU). Obese patients will be divided into two groups according to their metabolic profile (healthy vs unhealthy). The assignment to each group will be determined by the presence of diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and/or dyslipidemia. The presence of at least 2 diagnoses will be defined as metabolically unhealthy. Then, each group will be divided based on the presence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea diagnosis. All data will be collected through a review of the patient's electronic medical record from the bariatric clinic database (the investigators will collect variables as age, gender, race, BMI, smoking status, the presence of diagnosis as Obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia). The investigators will analyze that data and establish if there is any correlation between sleep apnea and the subjects' metabolic profile.

Effectiveness of fasting or fasting-mimicking diet has been proved an effective approach to treat metabolic and autoimmune diseases in mice. However, clinical trials performing prolonged fasting with more than 7 days have not been reported. Investigators conduct an open label, phase I/II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the 21-day fasting-like diet in the treatment of metabolic and autoimmune diseases.

The use of USI has eased practical application of interventional procedures, and reduced complications and procedure durations. For vascular interventions with ultrasound imaging, short- or long-section imaging of vascular structures is performed. Both techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages. This study aims to compare the success rates of femoral artery catheterization using both imaging techniques.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether there are diurnal variations in magnesium and other markers related to mineral metabolism in blood from patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to healthy controls.

The study team will assess "free-living" 24h glucose control using continuous glucose monitors (CGM) over an 88h period on two separate occasions. Importantly, standardized meals will be provided and will be consumed at specific times each day of the CGM measurement period. These meals will be identical on day 1 and day 3 of measurement. Each subject will complete two CGM periods, which will be identical except for the calorie and macronutrient content of the post-exercise dinner. In addition, during trial 1, two CGM's will be worn, while only 1 CGM will be worn on trial 2.

Glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa) subjects retain a limited capacity for endogenous glucose production (EGP). To date, the origin of residual EGP in GSDIa patients is unknown. Either increased glycogen debranching or lysosomal glycogen breakdown can account for residual EGP in GSDIa. Innovative treatments for GSDIa (e.g. AAV8-mediated gene therapy and mRNA therapy) are being developed.Therefore, longitudinal minimally-invasive monitoring of outcomes after therapeutic interventions in GSD Ia subjects becomes warranted. The primary objective is to test the feasibility of EGP quantification in adult GSDIa subjects by stable isotopes after a single oral [6,6-2H2]glucose dose. Secondary objectives are to compare EGP assessed by a single oral [6,6-2H2]glucose dose (a) in GSDIa patients versus matched healthy participants, (b) among GSDIa patients, (c) in the pre-prandial state versus the fed state, (d) in the controlled hospital setting versus the home setting. Data collected from the continuous glucose monitoring data will also be compared

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that a new protein substitute is acceptable and well tolerated in children with PKU.

NLRP3 plays a key role in endothelial function and may be a link for the known interaction of periodontitis and diabetes. The investigators compared the impact of gingival health, periodontitis (CP), diabetes or of both diseases (CP +diabetes) on saliva and serum NLRP3levels.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (allo-HSCT) is often indicated in malignant hematologic diseases. Conditioning regimens, used to reduce the tumor burden and to prevent transplant rejection, are based on chemotherapy alone or combined with total body irradiation (TBI). Endocrine complications are frequent transplant-related side effects. Investigators have been well described in children studies but less in adulthood. The objective of this study is to assess retrospectively endocrine, bone and metabolic disorders in adult patients, 12 months after allo-HSCT.
