Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered a major cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD), where about 40% of the diabetics develop diabetic kidney disease (DKD) resulting in albuminuria, reduction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), or both .
Albuminuria was widely considered the first clinical sign of
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in developed and developing countries and constitute a significant morbidity burden for life. Cardiovascular diseases risk factors include obesity, lipid profile, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, high blood pressure, increased
The assessment of endothelial function is crucial, as its dysfunction is described as a key pathological condition associated with many diseases leading to arteriosclerosis. Flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) has become one of the most widely assessed parameter to analyze endothelial function.
Exercise testing by Active Pedal Plantar flexion:
The investigators plan to collect 140 cases:
1. Healthy subjects with no apparent atherosclerotic risk [< 65 y/o, no diabetic mellitus (DM), no hypertension, or no hyperlipidemia, not obese, not current smoker, no smoking history >10 years] 4(n=5)
2.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide problem and its incidence is steadily increasing. Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) defines chronic kidney disease as either kidney damage or a decreased kidney glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of
This is an updated study on a previous IRB-approved research (0120070296) which was terminated prior to conclusion as the principal investigator terminated his employment at the UNDNJ. An arterial catheter is routinely placed immediately following induction of anesthesia, in major operative
A randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study of the effect of liraglutide as an additional treatment to insulin on HbA1c, body weight and hypoglycaemia in poorly regulated type 1 diabetes patients.
Background Treatment with glucagon-like peptid 1 (GLP-1) agonists liraglutide and exenatide
Insufficient vitamin D levels have been found in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Similarly, a negative association between serum vitamin D levels and insulin resistance has been reported in a large sample representative of the adult US population and in subjects at risk for T2D. In addition, a
Subjects, goals and objective:
Obesity is the most common chronic children disease of the modern era. The number of children who suffer from obesity is increasing to scales of epidemic. The frequency of obesity among kindergarten children (ages of 2-5) in the United States is approximately 14%,
Adrenal incidentalomas, adrenal tumours detected without symptoms and signs of hormonal hypersecretion or malignancy, are common. Depending on modality (MRI, CT. Ultrasonography) adrenal tumours occur in approximately 1-5% of the population. In about 10% of patients, the tumours are bilateral. At
More than 70% of type 2 diabetic individuals will die of atherosclerotic disease (1). This is partially explained by the abnormal lipid profile frequently observed in type 2 diabetes. These patients are also frequently afflicted with "Syndrome X," an assortment of risk factors for atherosclerosis,
There is an increasing prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) in Western societies. In the last decade, progress has been made in understanding the neurohormonal involvement in the progression of the disease and consequently, new treatments have been developed although the mortality rate still
BACKGROUND:
Longitudinal studies of coronary risk factors beginning in subjects at adult age have shown that hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity are related to the risk of coronary artery disease and stroke. The Framingham Study has shown, in adults over 30 years of age, a positive
BACKGROUND:
Coronary artery disease appears to be a consequence of the interaction between an individual's genotype and exposure to environmental factors. Genetic information has the potential to contribute to the identification of families and individuals with a biological predisposition for
