Diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) is the most common metabolic disease and its prevalence is rapidly increasing. T2DM is a chronic disease that affects over 451 million people in the world and this number is expected to increase over the years and it is estimated that in 2045 there will be in the
PhD project description
The arterial wall in patients with diabetes: Do changes in arterial basement membrane proteins predict future arterial disease? Are remodeling processes altered?
Applicant: Anne-Sofie Faarvang Thorsen1, MD
Main supervisor: Professor Lars Melholt Rasmussen1
Co-supervisors:
Rationale:
Cardiovascular events are the leading cause of death among patients with diabetes. Early identification of high-risk diabetic (DM) patients for intensification of preventive therapy may prevent cardiovascular events.
Aims:
Among biomarker (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide,
Hypertension is the main cardiovascular disease and the most important risk factor for severe lethal and disabling diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and chronic renal insufficiency. The higher the blood pressure level, the higher the risk of these diseases.
Evidence shows independent associations between hyperuricaemia and the risk of hypertension, myocardial infarction, chronic kidney disease (CKD), type 2 diabetes, heart failure, and metabolic syndrome, including obesity Furthermore, gout, an inflammatory arthritis caused by deposition of monosodium
Study population:
A cohort with a total of 2000 HIV patients will be built, consisting of a discovery cohort (n=1200) and confirmation cohort (n=800). The investigators estimate a 2-year inclusion and 2-year follow-up period and will strive for the inclusion of several clinical phenotypes such as
Introduction. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are prioritized as a second-line therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D), especially in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or when there is a need to avoid weight gain and hypoglycemia. Randomized
Decision to perform this observational study was made due to the lack of information on the local incidence and risk factors for the development of immediate postoperative delirium (IPD).
A literature review was done to study the already implicated perioperative causative factors as well as other
The main aim of this project is to evaluate, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD5D), the role of adhesion molecules in leukocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration involved in atherogenesis. This trial is a prospective randomized crossover study in CKD5D hemodialysis patients followed

Purpose of the Study:
Aim: To evaluate the effect of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA)
Fifty out of 57 hemodialysis anemic patients were finally included. They were assigned to two groups of equal numbers. Oral Pentoxifylline 400mg once daily was added to the treatment group which was compared to the control group over a six months period regarding hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum
Acute intestinal ischemic injury (i3), or intestinal infarction, is an extremely severe condition that affects the intestine, with a mortality rate that is over 80%, and with major anatomical and functional consequences for the surviving patients, mainly because of intestinal resections, which are
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is very high in Spain, being nearly 14% according to oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results . The management of DM requires a significant consumption of healthcare resources, mainly in relation to the care of vascular complications. Among the late
Hemodialysis (HD) is the most worldwide prescribed renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. This treatment that relies heavily on technology has undergone major modifications in the last five decades in order to improve patients' outcomes. Those changes that aimed at
Introduction
Background and rationale
Since the release of the recombinant human erythropoietin (rhuEPO) at the beginning of the 90s, transfusions are less needed to treat anemia in chronic kidney disease patients. This has been a major revolution in the management of renal anemia in chronic kidney
