Intermittent Fasting And Reduction Of Cardiovascular Disease Risk, Ethan Dekam

Theses and Graduate Projects

Background: Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Intermittent fasting is a unique intervention that is beginning to be studied more extensively for weight loss, positive alterations in serum lipid profile, and improvement of insulin resistance which are all modifiable risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease.

Purpose: The research question at the center of this literature review is: does the addition of intermittent fasting reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease? The reduction of cardiovascular disease was studied through alterations in weight, cholesterol, and diabetic labs.

Methods: A comprehensive literature review …

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Graft In The Treatment Of Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease On Diabetes Mellitus Patients, Nguyen Vu

Theses and Graduate Projects

Objectives: This systemic review is conducted to compare between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) in the revascularization strategy of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) based on clinical outcomes.

Background: Diabetes mellitus approached epidemic proportions globally and was recognized as a risk factor of aggressive and multivessel CAD [1,2]. The controversy over the optimal revascularization strategy for patients with DM and multivessel CAD has been hotly debated for more than 10 years. Numerous studies and data analysis were conducted to compare between PCI and CABG based on clinical outcomes of …

Factors That Impact Glycemic Control In Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes, Kelsey Mcfarling

Theses and Graduate Projects

The incidence of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is increasing worldwide and is diagnosed disproportionately in adolescent populations. Additionally, studies show that adolescents with T1D experience worse glycemic control during this developmental period. Maintaining glycemic control in patients with T1D decreases the risk of developing future diabetic-related complications. Factors such as race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and medical comorbidities influence disparities in maintaining glycemic control in adolescents. The recognition of these factors on the management of T1D through an integrative team approach leads to increased glycemic control and decreased diabetic- related complications. This paper explores the effects of …

Are Children Of A Diabetic Mother In Comparison To Children Of A Nondiabetic Mother At An Increased Risk For Developing Obesity In The First 10 Years Of Life?, Chhorn Pho

Theses and Graduate Projects

Body weight, glucose, insulin, and leptin were studied in children of mothers with gestational diabetes, type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Breast milk of diabetic mothers was also analyzed to study its relationship to childhood obesity. In the first 2 years of life, infants of mothers with gestational diabetes have no significant difference in weight gain but by the age of 10, most of the children birthed by any diabetic mothers were either overweight or obese. Children of mothers diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 2 have higher resistance to insulin than children of mothers with other diabetes types. Leptin was …
