The global rise in the prevalence of obesity paved the way for the increased prevalence of yet another obesity-related complication significant enough to be considered within the roster of major public health threats: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this follow-up study, the investigators will attempt to decipher the natural …
This study aims to establish a cohort of individuals with metabolic syndrome and prediabetes to enable long-term follow-up of risk factors, disease progression, and the development of obesity-related complications. The study will also monitor changes in nutritional status and physical function over time, in order to identify key prognostic determinants …
Type 2 diabetes and obesity are both multifactorial diseases resulting from gene-environment interactions. However, this interaction, as well as the specific effect of each polymorphism, remains poorly understood. We now proposed a prospective cohort study to improve our understanding of the influence of phenotypic characteristics on gene expression in tissues …
Using radiomics of intra-abdominal and subcutaneous adipose tissue and clinical features to predict the weight loss efficacy and remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus after bariatric surgery.
Diabetes nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes, and also an important cause of death and disability of diabetes patients. There is no specific clinical staging of type 2 diabetes nephropathy at home and abroad, and there is no comprehensive study to comprehensively describe the …
LiverSeek is a fully automated, passive case-finding programme for advanced liver fibrosis associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in primary care. The programme operates through the Laboratory Information System (LIS; Modulab/Biwer Analytics) of the Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón (HGUGM), covering approximately 350,000 inhabitants …
The novel sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, enavogliflozin, effectively reduces glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and body weight without increasing the risk of serious adverse events. However, its long-term clinical benefits concerning cardiovascular and renal outcomes have yet to be thoroughly studied. This study is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, randomized, pragmatic, open-label, active-controlled, …
Background \- Imaging tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can provide information about heart and blood vessels. The tests let doctors can see the amount of blood vessel narrowing and vessel wall thickness. This information may help diagnose and treat heart disease and other conditions that lead to heart …
HYPOTHESIS: Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) have distinct pathophysiologic etiologies. Therefore, therapeutic interventions designed to correct the specific underlying pathogenic abnormalities in IGT and IFG will be required to optimally prevent the progressive beta cell failure and development of overt type 2 diabetes.
Background In the U.S., about 53 million informal, unpaid caregivers provide care to a person who is ill, is disabled, or has age-related loss of function. These caregivers may be adult children, spouses, parents, or others. The stress of providing long-term care affects caregivers health and well-being. Researchers want to …
