How do patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus value the importance of outcomes? An overview of reviews
CONCLUSION: We provide standardised, reliable utility values (or associated disutilities) for T2DM, acute, microvascular and macrovascular complications, related comorbidities and treatments that may support judgements when making clinical recommendations, designing decision support tools, and developing interventions and economic analysis.PMID:37516195 | DOI:10.1016/j.jval.2023.07.003

Pharmacologic Reperfusion Therapy with Indigenous Tenecteplase in 15,222 patients with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction - The Indian Registry.
CONCLUSION: This study confirms the safety and efficacy of indigenous tenecteplase in Indian patients with STEMI, including high risk subgroups. It also highlights the fact that delayed treatment denotes denial of benefits of pharmacologic reperfusion therapy. PMID: 23993004 [PubMed - in process]

Correlates of ADL difficulty in a large hemodialysis cohort
Abstract Needing assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) is an early indicator of functional decline and has important implications for individuals' quality of life. However, correlates of need for ADL assistance have received limited attention among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD). A multicenter cohort of 742 prevalent HD patients was assessed in 2009–2011 and classified as frail, prefrail and nonfrail by the Fried frailty index (recent unintentional weight loss, reported exhaustion, low grip strength, slow walk speed, low physical activity). Patients reported need for assistance with 4 ADL ta...

Outcome quality of in-patient cardiac rehabilitation in elderly patients - identification of relevant parameters
Conclusion The outcome of in-patient rehabilitation in elderly patients can be comprehensively assessed by the identification of appropriate key areas, that is, cardiovascular risk factors, exercise capacity and subjective health. This may well serve as a benchmark for internal and external quality management.

Emphysematous cystitis: An atypical multi-organism presentation.
Abstract An 84-year-old diabetic women receiving in-hospital stroke management began suffering from vague lower abdominal pain, increased urge incontinence and gross hematuria. Physical examination revealed suprapubic tenderness and a tympanic bladder. A computed tomography confirmed a distended bladder with gas foci delineating the bladder wall. Microbiology revealed an atypical multi-organism presentation of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterococcus species. Emphysematous cystitis is characterized by air within the bladder wall often found in elderly diabetic females. Predominant organisms include Escherichia coli ...

NICE: 'Obese should be prescribed slimming clubs'
“GPs told to prescribe £100 slimming courses for millions of obese patients,” the Daily Mail reports. The news is based on new guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) that aim to encourage sustainable weight loss in the obese; “lose a little, and keep it off”. The guidance is mainly aimed at commissioners (who plan and agree which services will be provided in the NHS and monitor them), health professionals and groups who provide lifestyle weight management programmes. The recommendations may also be of interest to members of the public, including people who are overweight or o...

Use of the Corus® CAD Gene Expression Test for Assessment of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Likelihood in Symptomatic Non-Diabetic Patients
Conclusions The Corus CAD test has been extensively evaluated since it was first derived, including with two prospective multi-center trials. Given the scope of the deleterious effects of CAD and the considerable costs involved in diagnosing obstructive CAD, a blood test that can help in this determination is certainly valuable. The Corus CAD test promises to have an important role in this regard particularly if it continues to perform this well in larger, more diverse cohorts.

Factors Contributing to 50-ft Walking Speed and Observed Ethnic Differences in Older Community-Dwelling Mexican Americans and European Americans.
CONCLUSIONS: WS in older MAs and EAs is influenced by modifiable and non-modifiable factors, underscoring the importance of the DPM framework which incorporates both factors into the physical therapy patient/client management process. PMID: 25592187 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

What is the role of lifestyle behaviour change associated with non-communicable disease risk in managing musculoskeletal health conditions with special reference to chronic pain?
DiscussionA state-of-the-art review was conducted to synthesize evidence related to lifestyle factors (not smoking, healthy diet, healthy weight, optimal sleep and manageable stress, as well as physical activity) and musculoskeletal health, with special reference to chronic pain. The findings support that health behaviour change competencies (examination/assessment and intervention/treatment) may warrant being included in first-line management of chronic pain, either independently or in conjunction with conventional physical therapy interventions. To address knowledge gaps in the literature however three lines of clinical ...

Pain Assessment and Management in Critically Ill Older Adults
Older adults comprise approximately 50% of patients admitted to critical care units in the United States. This population is particularly susceptible to multiple morbidities that can be exacerbated by confounding factors like age-related safety risks, polypharmacy, poor nutrition, and social isolation. The elderly are particularly vulnerable to health conditions (heart disease, stroke, and diabetes) that put them at greater risk of morbidity and mortality. When an older adult presents to the emergency department with 1 or more of these life-altering diagnoses, an admission to the intensive care unit is often inevitable. Pa...

The Role of Decision Aids in Depression Care
Clarion calls about enhancing detection and management of depression in primary care have reiterated several truisms: Depression is as prevalent as many common medical disorders, treatable yet frequently undertreated, responsible for enormous occupational and social impairment as well as adverse effects on the costs, treatment outcomes, and mortality of comorbid medical diseases. Depression is second only to low back pain in years lived with disability (YLD), a metric that incorporates disease prevalence, age of onset, chronicity, and impairment. The YLDs attributable to depression exceed those accounted for by diabetes, i...

Identifying and Describing the Impact of Cyclone, Storm and Flood Related Disasters on Treatment Management, Care and Exacerbations of Non-communicable Diseases and the Implications for Public Health
Conclusion Cyclone, flood and storm related disasters impact on treatment management and overall care for people with NCDs. This results in an increased risk of exacerbation of illness or even death. The interruption may be caused by a range of factors, such as damaged transport routes, reduced health services, loss of power and evacuations. The health impact varies according to the NCD. For people with chronic respiratory diseases, a disaster increases the risk of acute exacerbation. Meanwhile, for people with cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes there is an increased risk of their illness exacerbating, which can ...

Risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in female breast cancer patients treated with morphine: a retrospective population-based time-dependent cohort study
A key element of the palliative care of cancer patients is the management of chronic pain [1]. Opioids continue to be a mainstay in the management of cancer pain in all treatment guidelines [2], and morphine is regarded as the “gold standard” [3–6]. Considered as broad-spectrum analgesics, opioids have multiple side effects and potential complications [7]. Our previous studies indicated that morphine treatment is associated with subdural hemorrhage [8], pulmonary embolism [9], and acute coronary syndrome [10] in cancer patients, as well as increased stroke incidence in prostate cancer patients [11].
