Authors: M Schmidt Brian , Huang Yiyuan , Banerjee Mousumi , Hayek Salim S. , Pop-Busui Rodica
Published: January 2024

Objective: To determine the association between social determinants of health (SDOH) and a diagnosis of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) infection. Research Design and Methods: Targeted interrogation of electronic health record data using novel search engines to analyze individuals with a DFU infection during a five-year period (2013-2017). We extracted geolocated neighborhood data and SDOH characteristics from the National Neighborhood Data Archive and used univariate and multiple logistic regression to evaluate associations with outcomes in the diabetes population. Results: Among 4.3 million individuals overall and 144,564 persons with diabetes seen between 2013-2017, 8351 developed DFU, of which 2252 were complicated by a DFU infection. Sex interactions occurred as men who experienced a DFU infection more frequently identified as having non-married status than their female counterparts. Other SDOH occurred at higher rates in the DFU infection population and included greater neighborhood disadvantaged index score, increased poverty, increased rates of non-marriage, decreased access to physician/allied health professionals (all p<0.01). In multiple logistic regression, those persons who developed DFU infection came from neighborhoods with greater Hispanic and/or foreign-born concentrations (OR 1.11, p=0.015). Conclusion: We found significant differences in neighborhood characteristics driving a higher risk for DFU infection compared with persons with diabetes overall, including increased risk for individuals with Hispanic and/or foreign-born immigration status. These data strongly support the need to incorporate SDOH, particularly ethnic and immigration status into triage algorithms for DFU risk stratification to prevent severe diabetic foot complications and move beyond biologic-only determinants of health.

The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) clearly delineated the benefits of intensive diabetes management in preventing long-term complications in people with insulin-dependent diabetes (1). Despite the data from the DCCT, a majority of youth with type 1 diabetes do not meet glycemic targets. One aspect of the DCCT intervention was frequent insulin dose adjustments by a care team member. Although this was a landmark clinical trial, translation of its findings into clinical practice has been challenging because of barriers in implementing glucose data-sharing technology and clinical time constraints. There is also a shortage of diabetes care team members (2) to review glucose data and communicate insulin dosing advice and provide diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES). In particular, there is a nationwide shortage of certified diabetes care and education specialists (CDCESs) (2).
«Men dette vet jo du»: Å forske i egen profesjon

In what ways can researchers with experience from the profession they are studying make use of their knowledge as a resource in a qualitative research project? How can this type of research contribute to new knowledge rather than simply reproduce the “professional gaze” and what researchers already know? These are questions we will elucidate in this chapter. We draw on the first author’s experiences doing research among people with whom she shares professional background as a prison officer, and the second author’s experiences with anthropological fieldwork “far away” from home, but still in familiar professional settings. There is a great deal of literature on the challenges of conducting research in one’s own field. However, there is less discussion about how the researcher’s own prior familiarity with a research field could be a strength in the research process. This chapter discusses how the researcher seeks to develop alternative understandings and explanatory models in research when he or she shares a professional background with the people studied. We suggest that critical reflection upon different aspects of professional practice and knowledge can turn anticipated challenges into strengths when researching in “one’s own field.” Through an alternation between field reflection notes and literature on ethnographic fieldwork, our ambition is to contribute to an emphasis on the potential in being “up close.”

Authors: A Parwaiz
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic plasma cell disorder characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. Incidence of MM is increasing rapidly in Asian countries. In a developing country like India diagnosis, risk stratification and access to novel treatment is still a major hurdle Objective: To study the clinico-pathological features of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. Methods: This was a cross sectional hospital based retrospective study conducted in a hospital in eastern India. During the four years of study, 74 cases of multiple myeloma were diagnosed on the basis of International Myeloma Working Group: Criteria for the classification of multiple myeloma and related disorders. The clinical and laboratory characteristics of newly diagnosed patients were studied. Results: Out of the 74 patients, 69% were men and 31% were women. Median age at diagnosis was 55 years (range: 32-81 years). The commonest symptoms observed were fatigue and bone pain. Anemia was present initially in 81% of patients, hypercalcemia in 31.4%, and a serum creatinine level of 2 mg/dL or more in 24.6% patients. The most common monoclonal gammopathy was IgG kappa (44%). Diffuse pattern of bone marrow infiltration, the most common pattern observed in 59% patients. Conclusion: MM patients had male preponderance. Median age of patients was lower compared to western countries with higher percentage of patients with age less than 40 years. Quality of life in MM patients can be improved significantly if there is access to early diagnosis, risk stratification and novel treatment.

The contemporary, indolent, Eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma configures as a predominantly solitary neoplasm delineating solid and cystic pattern of tumour evolution. Neoplastic cells are incorporated with abundant Eosinophilic cytoplasm and intracytoplasmic inclusions or basophilic stippling. Tumour cells display frequent somatic loss of function genetic mutations confined to TSC1 (9q34.13) gene or TSC2 (16p13) gene. Eosinophilic tumour cell clusters appear admixed with macroscopic cysts or microscopic tubules and cystic structures coated with singular layer of hobnail cells. Neoplastic cells are permeated with abundant, granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm. Tumour cells appear immune reactive to PAX8, CK20, AMACR, CD10, SDHB, fumarate hydratase, vimentin, cathepsin K and Melan A.
Comprehensive Insights into Eosinophil Interactions in Sickle Cell Anemia Severity
Authors: Ifeanyi Obeagu Emmanuel
Published: January 2024

Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) is a prevalent inherited blood disorder characterized by abnormal hemoglobin leading to erythrocyte deformation and consequential vaso-occlusive events. While the primary focus has traditionally centered on the role of red blood cells in SCA pathophysiology, recent investigations have unveiled the intricate involvement of eosinophils in modulating disease severity. Eosinophils, classically recognized for their role in parasitic infections and allergic responses, have emerged as significant contributors to the inflammatory milieu and vascular dysfunction observed in SCA. This paper aims to provide an extensive understanding of the multifaceted interactions between eosinophils and the pathogenesis of sickle cell anemia, emphasizing their impact on disease severity. Insights into eosinophil biology, including their cytokine release profile, granule protein activity, and endothelial interactions, underscore their dual role in both propagating and modulating inflammation in the context of SCA. The complex interplay between eosinophils and the inflammatory microenvironment in SCA dictates disease severity, warranting a deeper understanding of these interactions for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies. In conclusion, this comprehensive review consolidates current knowledge regarding eosinophil involvement in sickle cell anemia severity, emphasizing the necessity for further investigations into specific eosinophilic mechanisms. A deeper comprehension of eosinophilic contributions to SCA pathophysiology presents a pathway toward novel therapeutic modalities, ultimately enhancing the management and prognosis of individuals afflicted with this challenging hematologic disorder.
Physical Properties and Identification of Flavonoids by Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy
Authors: Butnariu Monica
Published: January 2024

Flavonoids are major functional components of many vegetable or animal preparations with medical uses. Flavonoids are also used in the treatment of numerous diseases, inhibiting specific enzymes, stimulating hormones and neurotransmitters and reducing the activity of free radicals. Due to the fact that flavonoids contain a variable number of phenolic groups in their chemical structure and due to their excellent properties to form chelates with iron and other transition metals, they have a high antioxidant capacity. For the human body, the antioxidant activity is highlighted due to the fact that they protect the cells of the body from free radicals that are formed as a result of numerous processes that use oxygen as an energy source and thus play an essential role in the protection of oxidative degradation phenomena. Their antiradical properties are due to hydroxyl and superoxide radicals, reactive groups that are involved in the initiation of lipid peroxidation processes, their ability to modify the synthesis of eicosanoids, to prevent platelet aggregation (antimicrobial effect) and to protect basic lipoproteins from oxidation. Although some studies indicate that some flavonoids possess a pro-oxidative action, this occurs only at high doses, and most investigations show the existence of anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anti-allergic effects, as well as the protective role in various pathologies.

Authors: Krumov Krum
Published: January 2024

The current study analyzes the impact of age life cycles on the Health Locus of Control construct in different cultural contexts during the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose is to examine whether different age categories impact the health behavior of individuals and change the Internal Health Locus of Control (IHLC), Powerful Others Health Locus of Control (PHLC), and Chance Health Locus of Control (CHLC) during the outbreak in Asia and Europe of the Covid-19 pandemic. A total of 2617 respondents aged 18–80 from Asia and Europe completed an online version of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale – Form A. To examine the impact of age on the Health locus of control construct, the study participants were divided into three age groups: up to 35, from 36 to 50, and over 50. Data analysis reveals that along with the influence of cultural context on the Health locus of control construct, age periods also impact and change IHLC, PHLC, and CHLC levels. Respondents from Asia, under the age of 35 and in mature adulthood, have a strong tendency to rely on themselves (IHLC) in the regulation of their health behavior. Europeans, compared to Asians, have consistently lower IHLC levels throughout the life cycle. Results also yield differences in relation to PHLC: Europeans, compared to Asians, are less likely to trust powerful others at an early age, while in adulthood, the health control by powerful others increases dramatically. Data analysis also shows that young Asians tend to rely on chance, fate, or luck (CHLC), however, this tendency is not observed among young Europeans. The opposite trend is observed with age: while in Asian culture levels of CHLC decrease with age, in European contexts, these levels increase.
