NCT01150981
Insulin resistance is a common condition that can lead to type 2 diabetes. One of the commonly prescribed diabetes medications, called rosiglitazone, works by decreasing insulin resistance. Rosiglitazone appears to work on fat cells. Animal studies suggest that rosiglitazone may work by increasing blood vessel growth in fat cells. The purpose of this research is to see if rosiglitazone also increases blood vessel growth in human fat cells. The investigators will compare results from before and after being on rosiglitazone for 6 weeks.
NCT00665535
The purpose of the study is to determine the optimal frequency of repositioning nursing facility residents with limited mobility who are cared for on a high density foam mattress in order to prevent bed sores. It is hypothesized that participants at moderate risk (Braden Scale Scores 13-14) who are turned every 3 or 4 hours and participants at high risk (Braden Scores 10-12) turned every 3 or 4 hours will not have a higher incidence of ulcers than those residents turned every 2 hours.
