Invasive squamous cell carcinoma (ISCC) represents 5 to 15% of breast cancers. Despite the rarity of this pathology, the number of patients with Invasive squamous cell carcinoma treated at HCL is significant. Patients at risk of metastasis are usually referred to the HCL Nuclear Medicine departments to perform positron emission tomography - computed tomography (PET/CT) with \[18\]F-FDG as an extension assessment. The investigators know that \[18\]F-FDG PET/CT has limited diagnostic performance for assessing the extent of breast cancer with a sensitivity of 66-96% for all histologies combined. For the ISCC, these performances are even lower with average Standard Uptake Value (SUV) values of 3.4 \[2.8-3.9\] versus 6.6 \[4.8-9.7\] for the others histological types of breast cancer. False negatives in \[18\]F-FDG PET/CT are due to an insufficient osteoblastic and immune response in the tumor stroma. Avril \& al. showed 65.2% false negatives with \[18\]F-FDG PET/CT for ISCC. This is why the search for new imaging techniques in this indication is particularly relevant. Targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP), a type II membrane glycoprotein belonging to the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 family, is a promising strategy for imaging tumor stroma, particularly in epithelial carcinomas . The investigators would like to compare the \[18\]F-FDG PET/CT technique currently used to this new emerging modality. The investigators hypothesize superior diagnostic performance of \[68\]Ga-FAPI PET/CT compared to \[18\]F-FDG PET/CT for the assessment of ISCC extension, with a gold standard histological. The investigators translate this into the hypothesis of finding 30% of positive FAPI PET when the \[18F\]FDG PET/CT is negative or doubtful. The advantage of this project and this new imaging modality is to not undertreat patients wrongly classified as non-metastatic. The investigators therefore wish to offer \[68\]Ga-FAPI PET/CT to patients with negative \[18\]F-FDG PET/CT. The FAPICL project constitutes a seed project before a larger structuring study.

The main questions it aims to answer are: * Clinical outcomes after salvage treatment for locoregional recurrence * Adverse events and quality of life after salvage treatment for locoregional recurrence * Patient characteristics and treatment specifics which are related to the clinical outcomes and/or adverse events * Molecular signature associated with treatment resistance Participants will be assessed by multi-dimensional methods during and after radiation therapy: * Assessment for the disease status (disease-free or recurrence) including physical and radiologic examination * Assessment for the adverse events according to CTCAE version 5.0 * Assessment for the molecular signature using residual tissue after pathologic diagnosis * Assessment for the quality of life using questionnaires (BREAST-Q)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate use of lovastatin, a drug that may lower CAV-1 levels, in order to increase HER2 expression on cells and enhance the uptake and efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in HER2-low and ultralow advanced metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is an FDA approved antibody drug conjugate for HER2-low and ultralow breast cancer and lovastatin is a cholesterol lowering agent.
This study will quantify the muscle function after breast reconstruction using a minimally invasive latissimus dorsi flap. The proposed measures (clinical, isokinetic, electrophysiology, function and quality of life questionnaires) allow a precise, multidisciplinary, objective evaluation of the capacity of the latissimus dorsi muscle before surgery, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after surgery. A function deficit is expected (decreased moment of adduction and internal rotation) 3 months after surgery and a return to the preoperative state 6 months and 12 months after surgery.

This study will look at control of blood sugar levels in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus currently on chronic dialysis. Researchers will compare blood sugar levels in people taking semaglutide to people taking "dummy" medicine. The treatment participants get will be decided randomly. Participants will need to inject the study medication once a week. The study will last for 1 year and a month. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures blood sugar levels for a period of 10 days at five different time points during the study.
This study is an interventional research. Through scientific evaluation, it explores the effect of precise lifestyle intervention based on CGM data on the control of chronic type 2 diabetes mellitus. By formulating a safe and effective precise lifestyle intervention plan, lifestyle medicine is integrated into the management of chronic diseases. Through multidimensional evaluations, it is expected to improve patients' self-management ability and provide a reference for the development of chronic diabetes management.
This trial is conducted in Indonesia. The aim of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BGM0504 versus semaglutide as add-on to metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes
Abstract: Empowerment interventions for chronic diseases are an evolving process. No agreement exists regarding the necessary components and methodologies to be applied. Systematic reviews have assessed the effect of self-management interventions. Improvements in illness beliefs, adherence to drug therapy and glucose monitoring have been reported. In the long term, no major changes have been achieved in weight, physical activity, smoking status, and depression scores. There is a need for additional studies. The Center for Comprehensive Care of Patients with Diabetes (CAIPaDi) program is an intervention designed to provide education and empowerment techniques (using simple low-cost interactive tools) over a short period of time followed by at-distance support using internet or cell phone technology. The target population consists of patients with type 2 diabetes, free of chronic complications who are non-smokers. The intervention is composed of four monthly visits followed by a continuous at-distance support system. At each visit, patients stay for six hours in the center. Information is presented in group sessions. Empowerment techniques are applied during individual exchanges with the team or during facilitated group sessions. In summary, empowerment programs are an unmet need in many healthcare services.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-efficacy-based educational program on glycemic self-monitoring, diabetes self-management knowledge, and health-related quality of life among adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving the educational program or a control group receiving standard care. The educational program is designed to enhance patients' confidence (self-efficacy) in managing their condition, including blood glucose monitoring, adherence to treatment, lifestyle modification, and self-care practices. Outcomes will be assessed using validated tools to measure improvements in self-monitoring behaviors, knowledge, and quality of life. The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence on the effectiveness of educational interventions in improving diabetes management and patient outcomes.
This is an open label, exploratory pilot study that will assess the effects of dual site focused pulsed ultrasound treatment on glycemic parameters in subjects with T2DM.
Sulfonylurea medications are unsafe for older patients with diabetes. They are associated not only with hypoglycemia, but also with falls and increased cardiovascular risk. Yet they continue to be prescribed frequently. Indeed, older adults with type 2 diabetes, who are especially prone to adverse effects, are more likely to be prescribed sulfonylureas than younger patients. This is unfortunate since over the past several years, newer, safer, and more effective classes of medications (GLP-1 agonists and SGLT2-inhibitors) have emerged. The investigators acknowledge that sulfonylureas are inexpensive and that their low cost is a driver of continued use. However, the investigators believe patients and providers should have discussions about the risks of sulfonylureas and safer and more effective alternatives, to make diabetes care safer overall in ambulatory settings. Our research is designed to promote such discussions. The investigators will first identify patients taking sulfonylureas regularly. Next, using recommendations from AHRQ and the Canadian Deprescribing Network, the investigators will empower patients to discuss their medications with their providers through a simple question prompt sheet. Patients will be divided into an intervention group which receives explicit prompting questions, and a control group that receives a general brochure on diabetes medications. Health care providers will receive education about newer diabetes medications through case-based discussions and academic detailing. Finally the investigators will measure key outcomes including the proportion of patients who have discussions about sulfonylureas and alternatives, rates of discontinuation, and measures of control of diabetes and associated cardiovascular risks. The investigators will also evaluate the experiences of patients and providers qualitatively through brief, semi-structured interviews. Should our multi-faceted, patient-oriented intervention prove effective in promoting discussions of sulfonylureas and alternatives, and also discontinuation of sulfonylureas and switching to newer alternatives, the investigators will incorporate our prompting questions into routine care for patients taking sulfonylureas. Our intervention can be easily disseminated to other settings and therefore has considerable potential to improve safety among patients with type 2 diabetes nationwide.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)-induced weight loss can improve glycemic outcomes and alter the trajectory toward insulin dependence in adults with obesity and inadequately controlled Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) despite guideline-directed therapy, including Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1RA)-based agents.
The goal of this project is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an adolescent-mediated intervention designed to improve the glycemic control and self-care practices of a parent/grandparent. The preliminary impact of the intervention on adult glycemic control (HbA1c) and self-care behaviors, as well as adolescent risk factors, will be explored with the goal of informing future programs that can be scaled to reduce diabetes burden and eliminate health disparities among at risk, ethnic minority groups.
Nutrition guidelines state that multiple eating patterns are effective for type 2 diabetes and that therapy should be individualized. Yet many nutrition plans fail to account for interpersonal variability in blood glucose response to meals. This diminishes the ability of dietary interventions to optimize glycemic control and may lessen patient satisfaction, self--efficacy, and adherence. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can facilitate behavior change in type 2 diabetes and has been associated with improved outcomes in nutrition intervention studies; this literature is limited by small study sample sizes and heterogeneity of study design and outcomes, and more data are needed. CGM could be a powerful tool for adapting a nutrition plan based on blood glucose response at an individual level. This study will test the use of CGM to personalize nutrition therapy compared to nutrition therapy alone (without CGM) for participants with type 2 diabetes who are not meeting glycemic treatment goals.
Only 2% of Americans meet the recommended levels of whole grain consumption, despite its association with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. This study aims to assess if consumers with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes can be encouraged to switch from buying refined grain products to whole grain products when shopping for groceries online. The study will use personalized marketing strategies, with or without discounts which adjust based on purchasing behavior, to promote whole grain consumption.
The investigators plan to use the smartphone App for FIB-4 calculation and increase the awareness of liver fibrosis. These patients might notify and discuss with the physician of their liver fibrosis severity to improve the identification, and management of liver fibrosis. This is to establish a patient-centered clinical pathway to identify patients with advanced fibrosis in type 2 diabetes patients. The investigators plan to conduct this randomized controlled trial of two groups: FIB-4 APP group and the standard care group. The primary end point is the referral rate of patients with advanced fibrosis (FIB-4 ≥ 2.67).
The discovery of the role of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and their involvement in the cardiovascular complications of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) would quickly have a significant impact on the millions of Americans who have T2DM. This project is designed to 1) determine the mechanisms underlying EPC dysfunction in older, sedentary adults with T2DM compared those with normal glucose metabolism and impaired glucose metabolism, and 2) determine if aerobic exercise training is an efficacious therapy for EPC dysfunction in T2DM, and whether improvement in EPC number and function translates to improved endothelial function, increased capillarization, and improved glucose metabolism in T2DM.
This multicenter randomized controlled trial evaluates the short-term (7-day) effects of different rowing-cycling exercise regimens on postprandial glycemic excursions in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients (aged 18-60 years, diagnosis ≤12 months, drug-naïve). A total of 120 participants will be randomized into five groups: control, moderate-intensity continuous cycling, high-intensity interval rowing, and standard combined exercise (rowing + cycling, 50 min). The primary outcome is inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-1ra, IL-10, hs-CRP), body Composition and functional Indicators. Secondary outcomes include change in continuous glucose monitoring-derived glycemic variability (CONGA), and time-in-range. Mixed-effects models will quantify dose-response relationships and identify key effect modifiers (e.g., age). This study aims to establish an evidence-based precision exercise prescription for early-stage type 2 diabetes management.
