Tackling diabetes: how nurses can make the difference.
Authors: El Berri H, Gedik FG, Belkhadir J, Catton H, Hammerich A, Oweis A, Slama S Abstract This year, World Diabetes Day on 14 November coincides with the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife, and therefore focuses on highlighting the role of nurses in the prevention and management of diabetes. Diabetes is recognized as an important cause of premature death and disability globally and in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, where its prevalence has been steadily increasing since 1990. Although the annual decline of the risk of dying from a major noncommunicable disease between the ages of 30 and 70 ye...

Hearing Loss and Healthcare Access among Adults
In this study, we examined the association between HL and access to medical care and prescription drugs among individuals 50+ with and without HL. We used nationally representative 2013–2014 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data, consisting of 1,977 adults with HL and 17,399 without. We applied an inverse propensity score weighting and regression modeling to adjust for any potential differences in health and socioeconomic conditions between the two groups. Adults with HL were more likely to be white, less educated, poorer, and with public insurance (p < 0.001). They were also likely to have hypertension, heart dis...

New Peptides as Potential Players in the Crosstalk Between the Brain and Obesity, Metabolic and Cardiovascular Diseases
According to the World Health Organization report published in 2016, 650 million people worldwide suffer from obesity, almost three times more than in 1975. Obesity is defined as excessive fat accumulation which may impair health with non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke), and some cancers. Despite medical advances, cardiovascular complications are still the leading causes of death arising from obesity. Excessive fat accumulation is caused by the imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. The pathogenesis of this process is complex and not ...

A Population-Based Cohort Study on Chronic Comorbidity Risk Factors for Adverse Dengue Outcomes
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2021 Sep 27:tpmd210716. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.21-0716. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe global burden of dengue is increasing against a background of rising global prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and an epidemiological shift of dengue toward older age groups. The contribution of NCDs toward risk for adverse clinical and healthcare utilization outcomes was assessed in a national linked-database study. About 51,433 adult dengue cases between 2014 and 2015 were assessed for outpatient and inpatient claims data in Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database for the 30 days after ...

The value of studying rare genetic variants and other emerging themes in neurogenetics
Although white matter hyperintensities on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) brain MRI are frequent incidental findings without any apparent clinical abnormality, they are widely viewed as an imaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease1 and indicate future risk of stroke and other adverse outcomes.2 Furthermore, understanding the origin and risk factors for this common entity is crucial because of its contribution to cognitive impairment and dementia.3 Reducing its occurrence will likely help decrease the dementia burden in the community and lower healthcare expenditures.

Endothelial Cell CD36 Reduces Atherosclerosis and Controls Systemic Metabolism
Front Cardiovasc Med. 2021 Nov 23;8:768481. doi: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.768481. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTHigh-fat Western diets contribute to tissue dysregulation of fatty acid and glucose intake, resulting in obesity and insulin resistance and their sequelae, including atherosclerosis. New therapies are desperately needed to interrupt this epidemic. The significant idea driving this research is that the understudied regulation of fatty acid entry into tissues at the endothelial cell (EC) interface can provide novel therapeutic targets that will greatly modify health outcomes and advance health-related knowledge. Dysfunctional ...
