Weight Management with Orlistat in Type 2 Diabetes - An Electronic Healthcare Records Study
CONCLUSIONS: Orlistat was significantly associated with weight loss in T2DM/prediabetes when taken for at least 12 weeks. However, orlistat is infrequently prescribed and often taken for <12 weeks. Orlistat may be a useful adjunct to lifestyle modifications in T2DM/prediabetes however barriers to continuing orlistat means it may not be effective for everyone in managing weight loss.PMID:38621802 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0684 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

Operational failures in general practice: a consensus-building study on the priorities for improvement
CONCLUSION: This study identified the highest-priority operational failures in general practice according to GPs and patients, and indicates where improvement efforts relating to operational failures in general practice should be focused.PMID:38621805 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0321 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

Predictors of Impairment and Self-Concept in Children and Adolescents with Persistent Tic Disorder
This study examined predictors of, and associations between, self-concept, demographic variables, and clinical measures in fifty-eight children and adolescents with Persistent Tic Disorder (PTD; 44 males, Mage = 11.9 years, SD = 2.74). Participants completed measures that assessed self-concept, tic severity, tic-related impairment, and comorbid psychological symptoms. Results showed that generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, total tic severity, number and complexity of tics, and total and social tic-related impairment were associated with self-concept. Tic-related social i...

Recommended approaches for screening and early detection of lung cancer in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region: a consensus statement
CONCLUSIONS: There is a great need for large-scale screening programs, preferably integrated with tobacco-control programs and awareness programs for physicians and patients, which may facilitate higher adherence to lung cancer screening and improve survival outcomes.PMID:38617789 | PMC:PMC11009596 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1568 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

The emergence and regression of political priority for refugee integration into the Jordanian health system: an analysis using the Kingdon ’s multiple streams model
The prolonged presence of Syrian refugees in Jordan has highlighted the need for sustainable health service delivery models for refugees. In 2012, the Jordanian government adopted a policy that granted Syrian ... (Source: Conflict and Health)

NixFe100-x for urea and oxygen evolution: a matter of compromise
In this study, we focussed on the oxidation of urea on NixFe100-x catalysts. These catalysts were prepared by pulsed laser ablation in liquid, a versatile and green technique to prepare electrocatalysts. Transmission electron microscopy of the nanoparticles indicates the production of monodisperse nanoparticles, with an average diameter increasing from 7.8 ± 2.8 to 19.7 ± 3.9 nm with a higher iron fraction. The composition could be controlled between pure Ni and NiFe bimetallic nanoparticles with up to 56 ± 3% of iron, by controlling the composition of the target. A brief optimisation of the electrode preparatio...

A P2RY12 deficiency results in sex-specific cellular perturbations and sexually dimorphic behavioral anomalies
Microglia are sexually dimorphic, yet, this critical aspect is often overlooked in neuroscientific studies. Decades of research have revealed the dynamic nature of microglial-neuronal interactions, but seldom ... (Source: Journal of Neuroinflammation)

Non-Surgical Bladder-Sparing Multimodal Management in Organ-Confined Urothelial Carcinoma of the Urinary Bladder: A Population-Based Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Strict trimodal therapy that includes both CT and RT after TURBT offers the best cancer control. When strict trimodal therapy cannot be delivered, cancer-specific survival outcomes appear to be superior with TURBT + chemotherapy compared to TURBT + RT.PMID:38610970 | DOI:10.3390/cancers16071292 (Source: Cancer Control)

In Vitro Toxicological Evaluation of glo menthol and non-menthol Heated Tobacco Products
Toxicology. 2024 Apr 11:153801. doi: 10.1016/j.tox.2024.153801. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHeated tobacco products (HTPs) are non-combustible, inhaled tobacco products that generate an aerosol with fewer and lower levels of toxicants, with a potential to reduce risk relative to cigarette smoking. Here, we assessed in vitro toxicological effects of three menthol (glo neo neoCLICK, neo Smooth Menthol and Fresh Menthol) and one non-menthol (neo Smooth Tobacco) variants of glo HTP, along with market comparators for cigarettes and HTPs. Limited chemical characterization of the study products revealed significantly lower leve...
