G-protein–coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) is a promising target to support glucose-induced insulin release in patients with type 2 diabetes. We studied the role of GPR40 in the regulation of blood-nerve barrier integrity and its involvement in diabetes-induced neuropathies. Because GPR40 modulates insulin release, we used the streptozotocin model for type 1 diabetes, in which GPR40 functions can be investigated independently of its effects on insulin release. Diabetic wild-type mice exhibited increased vascular endothelial permeability and showed epineural microlesions in sciatic nerves, which were also observed in naïve GPR40−/− mice. Fittingly, expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), an inducer of vascular permeability, was increased in diabetic wild-type and naïve GPR40−/− mice. GPR40 antagonists increased VEGF-A expression in murine and human endothelial cells as well as permeability of transendothelial barriers. In contrast, GPR40 agonists suppressed VEGF-A release and mRNA expression. The VEGF receptor inhibitor axitinib prevented diabetes-induced hypersensitivities and reduced endothelial and epineural permeability. Importantly, the GPR40 agonist GW9508 reverted established diabetes-induced hypersensitivity, an effect that was blocked by VEGF-A administration. Thus, GPR40 activation suppresses VEGF-A expression, thereby reducing diabetes-induced blood-nerve barrier permeability and reverting diabetes-induced hypersensitivities.

Admission hyperglycemia has emerged worldwide as a predictor of poor coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcome. Hyperglycemia leads to a defect in circulating hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), which, in turn, predicts diabetic complications. Here, we explored whether reduced HSPCs mediated at least part of the prognostic effect of hyperglycemia on COVID-19 outcome. We found that patients with COVID-19 (n = 100) hospitalized in a nonintensive setting displayed dramatically (50–60%) reduced levels of HSPCs measured by flow cytometry as CD34+, CD34+CD45dim, or CD34+CD133+ cells, compared with control subjects (n = 595). This finding was highly significant (all P < 10−10) after multivariable adjustment, or manual 1:1 patient match, or propensity score matching. Admission hyperglycemia (≥7.0 mmol/L) was present in 45% of patients, was associated with a significant further ∼30% HSPCs reduction, and predicted a 2.6-fold increased risk of the primary outcome of adverse COVID-19 course (admittance to the intensive care unit or death). Low HSPCs were also associated with advanced age, higher peak C-reactive protein, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. Independently from confounders, 1 SD lower CD34+ HSPCs was associated with a more than threefold higher risk of adverse outcome. Upon formal analysis, reduction of HSPCs was a significant mediator of the admission hyperglycemia on COVID-19 outcome, being responsible for 28% of its prognostic effect.

Authors: Palanca Ana , Nes Falco van , Pardo Felipe , Blasco F. Javier Ampudia , Mathieu Chantal
Published: January 2022

Objective: To evaluate real-world
efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) use in combination with insulin
in people with type 1 diabetes.

Research
design and methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort European
two-center study. Data on demographics, HbA1c, weight, insulin use, renal
function, and adverse events were collected from 199 adults with type 1
diabetes who initiated a SGLT2i adjunct to insulin. Subgroup analyses were
performed to identify who benefited most and who was more at risk for adverse
events.

Results: Overall, significant reductions in HbA1c (-0.5%), weight (-2.9 kg), and
mean daily insulin (-8.5%) were achieved after 12 months. The highest reduction
in HbA1c was obtained in individuals with baseline HbA1c >8% (-0.7%)
[64mmol/mol]. The largest weight loss was observed in subjects with BMI >27
kg/m2 (-3.5 kg). Individuals with baseline
eGFR <90 showed an increase in eGFR (4.5 ml/min/1.73m2), whereas
those with UACR >15 mg/g showed a decrease in UACR (-16.6 mg/g). Fifty-seven
individuals (28.6%) reported adverse events: 45 genital infections (22.6%), 5
ketosis episodes (2.5%), and 7 cases of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (3.5%). No
severe hypoglycemia events were reported.

Conclusions:
Our real-world data on SGLT2i showed promising results in reductions in
HbA1c, weight, and insulin requirements in type 1 diabetes. Benefits were more
pronounced in individuals with higher baseline HbA1c and BMI. DKA remained a
major concern, despite educational measures. Further real-life evidence is still
required to evaluate SGLT2i longer-term effects and their impact on
reno-cardiovascular outcomes.
The Impact of the Stress Hyperglycemia Ratio on Short-term and Long-term Poor Prognosis in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome: Insight From a Large Cohort Study in Asia

Published: January 2022

OBJECTIVE: In recent years, some studies have indicated that a novel
marker described as the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) can reflect the
true acute hyperglycemic status and is associated with the short-term
poor prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The
present study evaluated the association of the SHR with adverse
cardiovascular events in patients with ACS.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We consecutively enrolled 5,562 ACS
patients who underwent drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. All
subjects were divided into 5 groups according to the SHR, which was
determined by the following formula: ABG/[(28.7 × HbA1c %) － 46.7],
where ABG represents the admission blood glucose level. The primary
endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events
(MACCEs) at the two-year follow-up, and the secondary endpoint was major
adverse cardiovascular events ((MACEs) at two-year follow-up, cardiac
death and nonfatal MI at two-year follow-up, and in-hospital cardiac
death and nonfatal MI.

RESULTS: A total of 643 MACCEs were recorded during a median
follow-up of 28.3 months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed the
lowest MACCE incidence in quintile 3 (P < 0.001). Moreover, the
outcomes of restricted cubic spline analysis suggested that there was a
U-shaped or J-shaped association between the SHR and early and late
cardiovascular outcomes even after adjusting for other confounding
factors.

CONCLUSION: There were U-shaped associations of the SHR with the
MACCE rate and MACE rate at two-year follow-ups, and J-shaped
associations of the SHR with the in-hospital cardiac death and MI and
that at two-year follow-up in ACS patients who underwent DES
implantation; and the inflection point of SHR for poor prognosis was
0.78.
Pathogenic Role of Diabetes-induced Overexpression of Kallistatin in Corneal Wound Healing Deficiency through Inhibition of Canonical Wnt Signaling
Authors: Liang Wentao , Huang Li , Ma Xiang , Dong Lijie , Cheng Rui , Dehdarani Marcus , Karamichos Dimitrios , Ma Jian-xing
Published: January 2022

It was reported previously that circulation
levels of kallistatin, an endogenous Wnt signaling inhibitor, are increased in
diabetic patients. The present study was to determine the role of kallistatin
in delayed wound healing in diabetic cornea. Immunostaining and Western blot
analysis showed kallistatin levels were upregulated in diabetic human and rodent
corneas. In murine corneal wound healing models, the canonical Wnt signaling
was activated in non-diabetic cornea and suppressed in diabetic cornea,
correlating with delayed wound healing. Transgenic expression of kallistatin
suppressed the activation of Wnt signaling in the cornea and delayed wound
healing. Local inhibition of Wnt signaling in the cornea by kallistatin, an
LRP6-blocking antibody, or the soluble VLDLR ectodomain (an endogenous Wnt
signaling inhibitor) delayed wound healing. In contrast, ablation of VLDLR
resulted in overactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling and accelerated corneal
wound healing. Activation of Wnt signaling in the cornea accelerated wound
healing. Activation of Wnt signaling promoted human corneal epithelial cell
migration and proliferation, which was attenuated by kallistatin. Our findings
suggested that diabetes-induced overexpression of kallistatin contributes to
delayed corneal wound healing by inhibiting the canonical Wnt signaling. Thus,
kallistatin and Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the cornea could be potential
therapeutic targets for diabetic corneal complications.
Babies of South Asian and European Ancestry Show Similar Associations with Genetic Risk Score for Birth Weight Despite the Smaller Size of South Asian Newborns

Size at birth is known to be influenced by various
fetal and maternal factors including genetic effects. South Asians have a high burden of
low birthweight and cardiometabolic diseases, yet studies of common genetic
variations underpinning these phenotypes are lacking. We generated independent,
weighted fetal genetic score (fGS) and maternal genetic score (mGS) from 196
birthweight-associated variants identified in Europeans and conducted
association analysis with various fetal birth parameters and anthropometric and
cardiometabolic traits measured at different follow-up stages (5-6 years’
intervals) from seven Indian and Bangladeshi cohorts of South Asian ancestry.
The results from above cohorts were compared with South Asians in UK BioBank
and The Exeter Family Study of Childhood Health, a European ancestry cohort. Birthweight
increased by 50.7g and 33.6g per standard deviation of fGS (p = 9.1x10-11)
and mGS (p = 0.003) respectively in South Asians. A relatively weaker maternal genetic score
effect compared to Europeans indicates possible different intrauterine
exposures between Europeans and South Asians. Birthweight was strongly
associated with body size in both childhood and adolescence (p = 3x10-5
- 1.9x10-51), however, fetal genetic score was associated with body
size in childhood only (p < 0.01) and with head circumference, fasting
glucose and triglycerides in adults (p < 0.01). The substantially smaller
newborn size in South Asians with comparable fetal genetic effect to Europeans on
birthweight suggests a significant role of factors related to fetal growth that
were not captured by the present genetic scores. These factors may include
different environmental exposures, maternal body size, health and nutritional
status etc. Persistent influence of
genetic loci on size at birth and adult metabolic syndrome in our study
supports a common genetic mechanism partly explaining associations between
early development and later cardiometabolic health in various populations,
despite marked differences in phenotypic and environmental factors in South
Asians.

Published: January 2022

A total of 657 uncontrolled hypertensive patients (BP > 140/90 mm Hg in non-diabetics and BP >130/85 mm Hg in diabetic patients) were studied and followed for 12 months.

Out of which 374 (56.93%) were male and 283 (43.07%) were female. Retinopathy was observed in 91 (13.85%) cases and Left ventricular hypertrophy was seen in 91 (13.85%) patients. Out of 374 male patients 198 (52.94%) were smokers while 176 (47.06%) were non-smokers. Hypertension is an established risk factor for cardiovascular as well as renal disease. Prevalence of microalbuminuria in hypertensive patients suggests that screening for microalbuminuria is essential for intervention and prevention of further complications like end stage renal disease and cardiovascular disease. It is much more essential to screen for early nephropathy by testing microalbuminuria in hypertensive patients prevent or halt the earliest stages of damage by vigorous control of hypertension. Further studies in large scale population are required to further verification of microalbuminuria as a screening tool to prevent progression of cardiovascular and renal disease.
Anaesthesia in Elective Surgery and its Outcome

Published: January 2022

INTRODUCTION

Anaesthesia is classified into two main techniques general anaesthesia (GA) in which gaseous and/or intravenous drugs achieve central neurological depression, and regional anaesthesia, in which drugs are administered directly to the vicinity of spinal cord or nerves to locally block afferent and efferent nerves.

The anaesthesiologist is the medical specialists who can evaluate the risk associated with the anaesthesia discuss these risks with the patient and surgeon to manage them intraoperative. Now a day anesthesia is no longer limited to the operation room but it a perioperative care . The presence of comorbid conditions in surgical patients is significant factors in preoperative morbidity and mortality risk assessment . The current practices in anesthesia include complete valuation of risks, control costs, allocate resources, and postpone surgery until interventions improve risk .
A Joint Replenishment Inventory Model to Control Multi-Item Medicines with Consideration of Space Requirements in the Hospital
Authors: William W. , Ai T.J. , Lee W.
Published: January 2022

Medicines can be considered the most widely used medical expenditures in hospitals. To reduce the medicines expenses in the hospital, the term of inventory control is applied. Medicines must be controlled by considering the expiry dates and the probabilistic demand from the customers. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an inventory model that can be suitable to control medicines by minimizing the expired medicines, total inventory costs, and dealing with unpredictable demand. The purpose of this research is to develop an inventory model for determining optimum replenishment time and order quantities and space requirements for multi-item medicines with consideration of expiry dates of the medicines and all medicines are being purchased in a single purchase order so that the total inventory costs in hospitals can be minimized. The result is that the proposed inventory model results in optimum space requirements and the lowest inventory costs. Therefore, hospitals must order medicines based on the optimum order quantity.

The Corona Virus 2019 or Covid-19 outbreak has caused a global panic that is fatal. Various sectors have been affected. The coffee industry sector has also been affected by Covid-19. Losing customer loyalty is a threat to coffee industry entrepreneurs. This study has the purpose of measuring Customer Loyalty and a way to prevent the coffee shops from losing customers during the Covid-19 pandemic. This purpose is divided into two-stage. The first stage is to identify what factors affect customer loyalty and the relationship before the pandemic. The second stage is to test these factors during the Covid-19 pandemic in the context of the coffee shop business area. The second stage will be done for future study purposes. To support the first stage, the author divided it into two steps. First: summarize the factors that affect customer loyalty in the coffee shop business area. The second: is to build a relationship of the factors that affected customer loyalty based on the summarized factor in the first step. The results of this study show that customer satisfaction and trust have a direct effect on customer loyalty. Moreover, these factors can be a suitable mediation for others factors influencing loyalty. Besides that, service quality and price fairness can affected both mediation factors. Moreover, every existing factor also has an important role because these factors influence and support each other in creating Customer Loyalty.

The Importance of Early Recognition: a Case of DRESS Syndrome
Authors: Wright Andrew , Gilmore Andrea , Knuffman Jason
Published: January 2022

This case examines the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of an otherwise healthy 22-year-old female who presented to urgent care with abdominal pain and fever 27 days after her first exposure to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX). However, this exposure was not recognized for an extended amount of time. She was initially diagnosed with gastroenteritis and sent home on metronidazole. She failed to improve and presented days later to her primary care physician’s office where she was treated with levofloxacin for a suspected urinary tract infection. Her clinical syndrome continued to progress and she developed a widespread rash and generalized edema. She was admitted to the hospital after outpatient laboratory analysis was suggestive of liver and kidney damage. Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS syndrome) was suspected in the setting of her fever, rash, elevated liver enzymes, peripheral eosinophilia, and dermatopathological findings. DRESS syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion and requires a high level of clinical suspicion. The diagnosis was confirmed after review of her history revealed she received two courses of TMP/SMX nearly four weeks prior.
An Approach to Digitalize the Health Care System of Bangladesh using Smartphone

Published: January 2022

Health is one of the basic needs of human life. If this need cannot be fulfilled, then nothing can compensate for the loss. Often in Bangladesh, we observe that the economic ability of mass people can hardly ensure proper health care. The poor are being deprived of proper health care and even though the rich class can afford quality health care, but it comes with many compromises with their valuable time and labor. To meet the gap, we thought of a smartphone-based health care system that will assist people, especially the underprivileged, to attain health care easily and effectively. To effectively use the ICT facility that the government and non-government sectors are providing, we made a mobile application that will have several features including online appointment and cabin booking, prescription generator, hospital, and doctor's information displayed along with the suggestion, medicinal and disease information, etc. Since there is a great need for a system that can alarm people of emerging diseases in their area, we made a system to alarm people about that. Moreover, in the world of continuous changes, there is a great need for communication to acquire the latest knowledge. Hence a social network where doctors can discuss cures and medication will be of great benefit. Along with this, the need for continuous observation of medicinal side effects is not negligible. So, we need a proper channel for communication between patient and doctor, especially when a patient encounters some trouble when he takes the pre-scribed medications because of their side effects.
The knotty politics of ginseng conservation and management in Appalachia
Authors: Law Justine
Published: January 2022

American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is a long-lived understory species in Appalachian forests and the most valuable medicinal plant in North America. Indeed, "digging" for ginseng roots is an important livelihood strategy throughout Appalachia. Increasingly, however, concern for ginseng populations is escalating, and state and federal policies have introduced new harvesting restrictions, as well as new law enforcement efforts that target ginseng diggers. Here I am interested in troubling the high-profile narrative that ginseng populations are crashing due to the unscrupulous practices of Appalachian diggers. I draw on ecological research, historical documents, and my own ethnographic fieldwork to argue that we need a fuller understanding of both ginseng population demographics and the potential causes for ginseng decline before we embrace a narrative that disenfranchises those who depend on and, in many cases, have helped steward this enigmatic plant. This research speaks to growing tensions between rural livelihoods and conservation efforts worldwide.

Digital videography is one of the audio-visual work of art that developedwith the support of recording media technology. In addition to presenting the charged aesthetic value as a workof art, videography also has a function as media propaganda, as seen in the presidential election campaignvideography. In the 2014 presidential election, both candidates for president and vice president using the mediumof video as a tool to build their image in society. Effectiveness videography become the focus of the study,the extent to which the media can build a new myth in society in accordance with the imaging is presented inthe campaign video. By comparing both video campaigns of each candidate for president and vice president, wecan see how both sides provide imaging in accordance with the idealized image seoramg leader. Prabowo -Hattadescribe a leader who firmly and nationalist spirit, while Jokowi-JK portray themselves as populist leaderfigure. Then when videography charged art used for political, practical aesthetic symptoms can be translated aspropaganda art discourse by postmodern art theory. By looking at the interest of the public who enthusiasticallysupported the two presidential candidates and their representatives can be said that the image made by bothparties fairly successful. But the discourse of propaganda art is only a myth of mass culture that is momentary,because when the season finishes public campaigning has gained a new myth about the performance ofPresident. So from the phenomenon of Indonesian presidential campaign’s video in 2014 can be understoodthat the culture of democracy in Indonesia has experienced significant growth, and with the support of technologyvideography arena of ideological struggle-even extends not only affects political ideology, but also involves theideology of artists, ideology works of art, and the ideology of society into the arena.Keywords: Videography, Art Propaganda, and Myth.

The world is facing a big problem right now. The emergence of disease outbreaks caused by viruses, namely the corona virus that is familiarly called covid 19. The impact of pandemics on the economy is huge, especially for the lower middle class. Many are dismissed from work, lose their jobs or become slammed to other businesses. The condition of the crisis that is being hit is used as a momentum for work that gives birth to a new aesthetic. The Covid-19 pandemic event prompted the emergence of virtual works by artists. Choreographers strive to try and explore the creation of video dance works that certainly have their own challenges and stages in the manufacturing process. So this work is a form of experimentation for choreographers in response to current social conditions in the form of video works or video dance. The creation of the work entitled "I Will Survive" tried to apply the technique of making step-based video dance used by Katrina McPherson in her book entitled Making Video Dance. This work is a video dance work with a duration of 7 minutes. Through this work, the choreographer hopes that audiences can be inspired to survive, be active and productive in pandemic times while adhering to health protocols.
