The Extension of HAPO Follow-up Study
HyperglycemiaPregnancy6 moreThe prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) escalate remarkably worldwide and obesity becomes an epidemic disease. This study is interested in how the model of Developmental Origin of Health and Disease (DOHaD) influence individual's health status as they reach young adulthood. Since the mothers from HAPO study have not been subjected to antenatal treatment on the various degree of maternal hyperglycaemia in pregnancy, this would be an unique cohort that allows determination of the effect of various degree of maternal hyperglycaemia below the level of overt DM, on children's cardiometabolic risk in Chinese population.
Adherence in Global Airways - Steroid Intake and Effects on Chronic Rhinosinosinutis
Chronic Rhinosinusitis Without Nasal PolypsAsthma4 moreThe purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between long-term use of systemic steroids in patients with upper and lower respiratory tract diseases and their own production of cortisol (cross-sectional), as well as whether those with low cortisol levels have an impact on bone density. As patients with CRSwNP have a high use of steroids, they routinely undergo a DEXA scan at the Respiratory Clinic, Department of Ear-Nose-Throat Surgery and Audiology (ENT) - Rigshospitalet (RH) to examine whether their bone density and structure are affected. The scan will be included as a clinical secondary outcome to assess whether systemic steroid use has an impact on this. The purpose of the study is therefore to compare steroid intake, baseline P-cortisol, the body's response to ACTH (measured by cortisol levels after the test), and bone density in patients with chronic sinusitis (CRS) with and without asthma in an unselected population at the Respiratory Clinic (cross-sectional). In addition, at the 4-month follow-up (exploratory follow-up, pilot project), it will be investigated whether good adherence (>80%) to inhalation therapy (nasal steroid and lung steroid) and additional treatment with biologicals has a negative effect on the body's own production of P-cortisol.
Treatment With SGLT-2 Inhibitor for Postoperative Hyperglycemia in Acute Abdominal Surgery - a Randomized...
Postoperative HyperglycemiaStress HyperglycemiaThe aim of the study is to investigate the effect of an SGLT-2 inhibitor on postoperative hyperglycemia after acute abdominal surgery in patients without diabetes
Power of Choice on Autonomy, Motivation, Exercise Adherence, and Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Elevated Blood SugarPeople with elevated blood sugar levels are at increased risk of developing chronic medical conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Improving cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in adults with elevated blood sugar levels is important for preventing the onset of such medical conditions. The primary aim of this study is to determine whether providing a choice between two different types of exercise in a diabetes prevention intervention improves perceived autonomy, exercise motivation, physical activity behavior, and subsequently CRF to a greater extent than imposed exercise among adults with elevated blood sugar.
Peripheral Nerve Blocks for Above-the-knee Amputations
Peripheral Vascular DiseasesHyperglycaemia (Diabetic)4 moreSurgery performed with nerve blocks and sedation may be safer and provide better pain control compared to general anesthesia and opioid therapy in high-risk patient populations such as elderly and troubled with peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Survey Among Healthcare Professionals Treating Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer in Selected...
Breast CancerThis is a multinational, non-interventional, cross-sectional survey conducted among HCPs based in the EU/EEA who prescribe Piqray. The survey will assess the knowledge of HCPs prescribing Piqray in relation to the management of hyperglycemia in patients treated with Piqray. The survey will endeavor to collect a minimum to 30-50 completed surveys.
The Effect of Alpha Linolenic Acid Intake on Patients With Elevated Glycemic Status
Elevated Blood SugarThe findings of previous experiments suggested that alpha linolenic acid (ALA) has been linked to anti-hyperglycemic, and reducing the risk of diabetes.This is a randomized double-blind cross-over trial, aims to study the effect of ALA on glycemic status and human metabolism. Firstly, the investigators will investigate the efficacy of ALA on improving the indexes of glucose metabolism. Secondly, next generation sequencing (NGS), ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (UPLC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry detection will be conducted to explore the role of ALA on gut microbiota as well as metabolites. Thirdly, single nucleotide polymorphism will be genotyped by Time-of-flight mass spectrometry to find the gene-environment interaction effect.
The Effects of add-on Anti-diabetic Drugs in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
HyperglycemiaRecently, there are some new classes of anti-diabetic drugs availible in Taiwan. In this study, we will observe the change in inflammation and energy homeostasis in type 2 diabetic outpatient, who receiving a new anti-diabetic drugs.
Utilizing Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Characterize and Manage Hyperglycemia in Patients Initiating...
Metastatic Breast CancerThis is a prospective, descriptive, single site, observational study in subjects receiving alpelisib for treatment of metastatic breast cancer. The purpose of the study is to characterize the impact of alpelisib on glucose control in patients with breast cancer using continuous glucose monitoring to measure glucose levels throughout the day and night. Patients will follow a hyperglycemia prevention and management regimen aimed to diminish hyperglycemia known to occur in most oncology patients starting alpelisib. All patients will wear an Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2 system to obtain continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data (glucose measured every minute for 14 days). CGM will be placed at least 10 days prior to starting alpelisib and continue for at least 3 months while taking alpelisib.
Precision Mental Health in Diabetes - Subtypes of Mental Health, Trajectories, and Patterns With...
Diabetes MellitusDepressive Disorder8 morePRO-MENTAL is a non-interventional, prospective, observational study investigating longitudinal associations between diabetes distress, mental disorders, and glycemic outcomes in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study aims to determine mental health subtypes, trajectories, and patterns and to advance a precision medicine approach to improve mental health in people with diabetes through personalized care and interventions. A total of 1500 people with T1D or T2D will participate in the study, running over a 24-month period. Participants will be recruited at different levels of diabetes care including specialized centers and hospitals. The assessment includes a baseline assessment (clinical interview, questionnaire survey, and laboratory assessment) and four subsequent measurement time points - every six months - to a total period of two years. Each measurement time point includes an online questionnaire survey as well as a 14-day ambulatory assessment of daily mental and somatic variables (smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) of daily sleep quality, mood, stress, and diabetes-related burdens/distress, as well as continuous glucose measurement (CGM) of daily glucose levels). The study uses precision monitoring to identify evidence-based subgroups of people with diabetes with regard to mental disorders/problems and glycemic outcome. Epidemiological data regarding prevalence and incidence rates of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders will be analyzed, and patient trajectories and patterns will be determined. The study also aims to shed more light on the mediating mechanisms between mental health and glycemic outcomes. The findings of the study will be used as the basis to develop a precision medicine approach with personalized interventions for specific sub-groups of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
