Social and Medical Determinants of Cardiometabolic Health: The Big Picture.
Authors: Puckrein GA, Egan BM, Howard G
Abstract
Cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease, account for >12 million years of life lost annually among Black adults in the United States. Health disparities are geographically localized, with ~80% of health disparities occurring within ~6000 (16%) of all 38,000 US ZIP codes. Socio-economic status (SES), behavioral and environmental factors (social determinants) account for ~80% of variance in health outcomes and cluster geographically. Neighborhood SES is inversely associated with prevalent diabetes and hypertension, and Blacks are four times mo...

Effectiveness of family involvement in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients: a follow-up study
In recent years, the global prevalence of diabetes has increased significantly. The number of Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) ranks first in the world. Diabetes ranks in the third place among chronic non-communicable diseases according to the morbidity, disability and mortality as well as the degree of harm to human health, and it has brought a heavy burden on healthcare [1–3]. The family is an important place for people to influence lifestyle intervention of family members to participate may improve health and reduce disease relapse rate, increase well-being of the family, help improve diabetes, hy...

The association between participation in a pay-for-performance program and macrovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes in Taiwan: A nationwide population-based cohort study
Conclusions Compared with patients not enrolled in the P4P program, P4P patients had lower risk of developing serious vascular complications. Our empirical findings provide evidence for the potential long-term benefit of P4P programs in reducing risks of macrovascular complications.

NHS Health Check study estimates 2,500 heart attacks and strokes prevented over 5 years
(Queen Mary, University of London) The first major evaluation of the NHS Health Check in England, led by Queen Mary University of London, finds that the programme is effectively identifying people at risk of developing a major cardiovascular incident such as heart attack or stroke, and is estimated over first five years to have prevented 2,500 cases from treatment following the check, as well as helping diagnose cases of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease.

NIH genome sequencing program targets the genomic bases of common, rare disease
(NIH/National Human Genome Research Institute) The National Human Genome Research Institute and other institutes will fund genome sequencing centers to focus on understanding the genomic bases of common and rare human diseases. The Centers for Common Disease Genomics will use genome sequencing to explore the genomics of common diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke and autism. NHGRI is also funding the next phase of the Centers for Mendelian Genomics, which will investigate the genomic underpinnings of rare, inherited diseases.

Residual Effects of Restless Sleep over Depressive Symptoms on Chronic Medical Conditions: Race by Gender Differences
Conclusion
Race by gender heterogeneity in the residual effect of restless sleep over depressive symptoms on CMC over 25 years suggests that comorbid poor sleep and depressive symptoms differently contribute to development of multi-morbidity among subpopulations based on the intersection of race and gender. Thus, interventions that try to prevent comorbid sleep problems and depression as a strategy to prevent medical conditions may benefit from tailoring based on the intersection of race and gender.

A neurophysiological approach for evaluating noise-induced sleep disturbance: calculating the time constant of the dynamic characteristics in the brainstem - Tagusari J, Matsui T.
Chronic sleep disturbance induced by traffic noise is considered to cause environmental sleep disorder, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and other stress-related diseases. However, noise indices for the evaluation of sle...

Delivery of health care for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases among people living with HIV/AIDS in African countries: a systematic review protocol
We present a systematic review protocol to synthesize studies of healthcare delivery for an important subset of NCDs, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (CMDs), among African PLHIV.
Methods/design
We plan to search electronic databases and reference lists of relevant studies published in African settings from January 2003 to the present. Studies will be considered if they address one or both of our major objectives and focus on health care for one or more of six interrelated CMDs (ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia) in PLH...

Diabetes Mellitus in Peru
Conclusions Diabetes is a major health care issue in Peru that exposes difficult challenges and shortcomings. The national strategy for tackling diabetes includes promotion of healthy lifestyles; training primary care physicians and providing them with evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, safe and effective medications, and tools for monitoring treatment; and, finally, construction of a comprehensive health care network for early referral in order to prevent, detect, and treat diabetic complications.

Needs of Internally Displaced Women and Children in Baghdad, Karbala, and Kirkuk, Iraq
Conclusions
The vulnerability of this population is great, and the emotional trauma of multiple displacements, kidnapping and deaths from intentional violence is great. While some aid is reaching families, much more is needed. Though Iraq is a middle income country, reaching the IDPs in central Iraq will take much more in international assistance than is currently being received. Unfortunately, at this time of great need, assistance is being cut back throughout the region because of lack of funding.10 The local civil society organizations which have sprung up in many locations to assist IDPs, offer an avenue for targeting ...
