Imaging the Pathogenesis of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can lead to vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). The hallmark of CSVD is the appearance and progression of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on MRI. The goal of this study it to recruit and follow individuals at risk for WMH progression and use serial MRI …
Puberty, Diabetes, and the Kidneys, When Eustress Becomes Distress (PANTHER Study)
Early diabetic kidney disease (DKD) occurs in 50-70% of youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and confers high lifetime risk of dialysis and premature death. Youth-onset T2D typically manifests during or shortly after puberty in adolescents with obesity. Epidemiological data implicate puberty as an accelerator of kidney disease in youth …
Improving Renal Complications in Adolescents With Type 2 Diabetes Through REsearch Cohort Study (National iCARE Study)
The overall aim of the project is to elucidate the primary bio-psycho-social (BPS) risk factors for albuminuria in youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the mechanisms by which they cause renal injury. The Study aims include: Characterize the primary BPS risk factors associated with prevalent and progressive albuminuria in …
PBMC as Biomarkers of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy
Type 2 diabetes (T2D), especially when associated with metabolic syndrome (MS) is at high risk to develop heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), and the specific impact of T2D+MS in cardiac function impairment is usually known as "diabetic cardiomyopathy" (DC). …
Deep Phenotyping of Bone Disease in Type 2 Diabetes and Relations to Diabetic Neuropathy
Objectives The goal of this cross sectional clinical trial is to examine the phenotype of bone disease in type 2 diabetes.The main aims are to: Compare bone microarchitecture, bone biomechanical competence, and bone turnover markers as well as postural control in T2D patients with and without fractures. Examine how autonomic …
Effectiveness of Physical Exercise of Patients With Chronic Non-communicable Disease
According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), chronic, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the main cause of death and disability in the world. The term, NCD refers to a group of diseases that are not primarily caused by acute infection and result in long-lasting health consequences, with significant long-term care …
The PRECISION II Study: Evaluating the Accuracy of the LabPatch Glucose Sensing System
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the Cambridge Medical Technologies, LLC second generation (2nd Gen) LabPatch glucose sensing system compared to a laboratory glucose analyzer (YSI 2300 STAT Plus) and 2 commercial glucometers, OneTouch Verio and Freestyle Lite. The primary endpoint of this study is …
Remote Fetal Monitoring in High Risk Pregnancies
Antenatal nonstress tests (NSTs) are performed to assess fetal health and are used as a cost-effective test that can be widely administered. However, an NST is operator-dependent due to the nature of Doppler ultrasound and is primarily performed in a clinic and hospital setting. The ability to conduct a clinically …
Understanding Metabolism and Inflammation Risks for Diabetes in Adolescents
This research study collects health-related information and blood samples to better understand how body composition, lifestyle habits, and diet influence meta-inflammatory monocytes (MiMos) in adolescents. The hypothesis of this study is that adolescents at risk for metabolic disease have enhanced MiMo related activities leading to insulin resistance.
Vascular Regenerative Cell Exhaustion in Adults with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD-VRCE)
PAD-VRCE is an observational, cross-sectional, two arm study aimed at determining if the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) can influence the number of circulating regenerative cells in blood. From peripheral blood samples, circulating progenitor cell content will be assessed via flow cytometry and compared between individuals with PAD and …
