Published: January 2024

Excessive adiposity in obesity is a significant risk factor for development of type 2 diabetes (T2D), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and other cardiometabolic diseases. An unhealthy expansion of adipose tissue (AT) results in reduced adipogenesis, increased adipocyte hypertrophy, adipocyte hypoxia, chronic low-grade inflammation, increased macrophage infiltration, and insulin resistance. This ultimately culminates in AT dysfunction characterized by decreased secretion of antidiabetic adipokines such as adiponectin and adipsin and increased secretion of proinflammatory prodiabetic adipokines including RBP4 and resistin. This imbalance in adipokine secretion alters the physiological state of AT communication with target organs including pancreatic β-cells, heart, and liver. In the pancreatic β-cells, adipokines are known to have a direct effect on insulin secretion, gene expression, cell death, and/or dedifferentiation. For instance, impaired secretion of adipsin, which promotes insulin secretion and β-cell identity, results in β-cell failure and T2D, thus presenting a potential druggable target to improve and/or preserve β-cell function. The cardiac tissue is affected by both the classic white AT–secreted adipokines and the newly recognized brown AT (BAT)-secreted BATokines or lipokines that alter lipid deposition and ventricular function. In the liver, adipokines affect hepatic gluconeogenesis, lipid accumulation, and insulin sensitivity, underscoring the importance of adipose-liver communication in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In this perspective, we outline what is currently known about the effects of individual adipokines on pancreatic β-cells, liver, and the heart.

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 5-year period (2013–2017) was performed. 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 population with diabetes.

RESULTS

Among 4.3 million people overall and 144,564 individuals with diabetes seen between 2013 and 2017, 8,351 developed DFU, of which cases 2,252 were complicated by a DFU infection. Sex interactions occurred, as men who experienced a DFU infection more frequently identified as having nonmarried status than their female counterparts. For the population with DFU infection, there were higher rates for other SDOH, including higher neighborhood disadvantaged index score, poverty, nonmarriage, and less access to physician/allied health professionals (all P < 0.01). In multiple logistic regression, those individuals who developed DFU infection came from neighborhoods with greater Hispanic and/or foreign-born concentrations (odds ratio 1.11, P = 0.015).

CONCLUSIONS

We found significant differences in neighborhood characteristics driving a higher risk for DFU infection in comparisons with the grouping of individuals 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.

Published: January 2024

Prior studies suggest that only ~30% of patients with type 1 diabetes use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), but most studies to date focused on children and young adults seen by endocrinologists or in academic centers. This study examined national trends in CGM utilization among commercially insured children and adults with type 1 diabetes. Overall, CGM utilization was 20.12% in 2010–2013 and 49.78% in 2016–2019, reflecting a 2.5-fold increase in utilization within a period of <10 years. Identifying populations with low CGM use is a necessary first step in developing targeted interventions to increase CGM uptake. Key Points · Roughly half (49.78%) of the individuals in our sample of commercially insured individuals with type 1 diabetes used continuous glucose monitoring from 2016 to 2019. · This represents a 2.5-fold increase in utilization within <10 years. · Utilization was highest in those who were aged 0–12 years, were female, had health maintenance organization insurance, and were living in urban areas.
Forskningsetikk i praksis. Om det som står på spill i kvalitativ samarbeidsforskning
Authors: Øye Christine
Published: January 2024

All qualitative research is collaborative as long as it involves human participants in producing empirical data. However, how close this collaboration is will differ depending on the scope of the qualitative research. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular to do research in close collaboration with various stakeholders for the purpose of health and social care service development and improvement. This kind of close collaborative research is often referred to as innovation in public sector, where stakeholders such as users, staff, and others are involved in co-creation processes. When there is close collaboration in qualitative research over time, it can create particular research ethical challenges in relation to following research ethical norms of voluntariness, confidentiality, doing no harm and integrity. This chapter highlights research ethical dilemmas that arise when collaborating with stakeholders in qualitative research – when collaborating more loosely and when collaborating closely in order to develop health and social care services. Accordingly, this chapter will critically discuss practical research ethics that center around “closeness and distance” in qualitative collaborative research.

Authors: D Cancado Rodolfo
Published: January 2024

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a severe inherited and multisystem blood disorder characterized by hemolytic anemia, vasoocclusive crises (VOCs), progressive multiorgan damage, and increased mortality. SCD is the most common inherited disorder worldwide, with well over 300,000 children born with SCD yearly, 75% of whom are born in Africa. Based on the Brazilian neonatal screening program, the annual average of new cases of children diagnosed with SCD was 1,087, with an incidence of 3.78 per 10,000 live births and an estimated number of 60,000 to 100,000 individuals living with SCD in Brazil. Our objectives were to describe the sociodemographic and genotype characteristics and clinical complications of patients with SCD and compare the laboratory profile and the impact of healthcare resource utilization between patients with and without hydroxyurea during five years of observation. Objectives: To describe the sociodemographic and clinical complications, compare the laboratory profile and the impact of healthcare resources utilization between patients with and without hydroxyurea of SCD patients during five years of observation. Method: This was a retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study conducted at one Brazilian reference center on SCD - Santa Casa de Sao Paulo, in Sao Paulo (Southeast region of Brazil) during a 5-year observation period (2016-2020).
Pulmonary Embolism Revealing Acutisation of Vaquez Disease: A Case Report at the Haematology Department of the National Blood Transfusion Center in Bangui (Central African Republic)
Authors: Sylvestre Packo Dieu
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Primary polycythemia belongs to the group of myeloproliferatifs disorders whose natural course is marked by thrombohemorrhagic events in the short term and transformation into acute leukemia in the long term. Primary polycythemia is rarely seen in our department. It usually precedes a myelodysplastic phase. Arterial thrombosis as a revealing mode is exceptional. Case report: We report the case of a 78-year-old woman diagnosed with polycythemia vera in 2018, with signs of hyperviscosity in the setting of arterial hypertension treated with hydryuree. The appearance of unexplained dyspnea in 2023 led to the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. The follow-up blood count unexpectedly revealed a bicytopenia consisting of severe anemia at 5g/dl and thrombocytopenia at 88,000/mm3. The myelogram was consistent with AML. The evolution was rapidly fatal in our context. The interest of this work lies in the rarity of this AML secondary to polycythemia vera, but also in its exceptional mode of manifestation, making management ambiguous due to treatment of a pulmonary embolism in a context of thrombocytopenia. Conclusion: This is the first case of its kind to be described in our department.
Fibrinogen in Hamster Cauda Sperm
Authors: Nagdas Subir K
Published: January 2024

Epididymis plays a vital role in promoting sperm maturation and maintaining sperm viability. It has been shown the presence of nonviable sperm in cauda epididymis. We previously identified a secretory protein (260/280KDa oligomers) of hamster cauda epididymal principal cells that binds to nonviable sperm. The 260/280KDa oligomers are composed of 64kDa FGL2 (fibrinogen-like protein-2) and 33kDa FGL1) (fibrinogen-like protein-1). In addition, we have demonstrated that FGL2 is a phospholipid-activated serine protease; the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin by FGL2 followed by the conversion of soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin polymers by thrombin. In the present study, we have shown the presence of a 56kDa fibrinogen β in hamster cauda sperm. The potential role of fibrinogen in hamster physiology is being discussed.

Authors: Moumaris Mohamed
Published: January 2024

Diagnosing Lyme disease involves assessment of the patient’s symptoms and EM rash. When EM rash and recent tick exposure are evident, additional laboratory tests may not be required. However, in cases where there is no EM rash or a clear history of tick exposure, a Lyme disease diagnosis may involve blood antibody tests. Serological testing, such as ELISA and immunoblots, is a common approach, and ELISA is reliable when IgG levels are at or above 200 IU/ml.

Authors: Onwe Obinna Uchewa
Published: January 2024

The study evaluated the role of Irvingia gabonensis as an antidote for memory loss in streptozotocin (STZ) hyperglycemia. Forty-two rats were grouped into six groups of seven rats. A single dose of STZ (60mg/kg) given intraperitoneally was used to induce hyperglycemia and confirmed after 72 hours with over 200mg/dL of fasting blood glucose. Three doses of extract (100, 200, and 300mg/kg) were used to treat groups C, D, and E, while F received 500mg/kg of the standard drug (metformin). Spatial memory was evaluated using Morris Water Maze, while blood was used to estimate biomarkers. The result showed that hyperglycemia significantly reduced memory with decreased latency compared to control (β) in both the acquisition and reversal memory phases (p≤0.05). The extract improved memory in C, D, and E compared to B (ϒ) and in the standard drug (α) at p≤0.05. Group A showed distinct hippocampal layers with CA 1-4 vital for spatial memory, while group B showed cell vacuolations and hypertrophied neurons with large nuclei. Groups C, D, E, and F showed healthier cells than B. A significant reduction was observed in GST, GOT, and GPX in B compared to the treated groups ((P≤0.05). In conclusion, Irvingia gabonensis seed extract may ameliorate hippocampal alterations and improve learning and memory.

Authors: Thangavel V
Published: January 2024

One of the most commonly utilized psychoactive chemicals worldwide is alcohol in beverage form. Alcohol abuse has emerged as a significant public health issue and the third-highest global risk factor for disease and disability. Alcohol is a psychoactive substance that is often used in beverages. Due to their widespread availability and ease of use in many situations, people often do not view alcoholic beverages as drugs. To counteract the behavioral, social, and psychological problems associated with alcohol consumption, cultures all over the world have surrounded alcoholic beverages with a variety of rules and regulations due to their complex pharmacological qualities, which include a wide spectrum of psychoactive effects. Alcohol abuse has emerged as a significant public health issue and the third-highest global risk factor for disease and disability. According to the findings of our study, the degree of dependence, the length of time spent drinking; the amount spent each month, and the frequency of drinking all influence caregiver’s perceptions of their workload. It is crucial to understand the prevalence and costs of alcohol consumption in different States and within the States of the nation because alcohol consumption policies and laws vary across different States within the nation. This community-based cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in various states across the country. People who drink alcohol are more likely to experience health issues like hypertension, gastrointestinal issues, and mental diseases, and statistically significant relationships have been identified between these health issues and alcohol intake. Our study demonstrates that people of various severities encounter a wide range of issues. The many issues with human family welfare, organ disorders, various illnesses, and unjustifiable diseases are revealed to the consuming public in this text.
The Neuro-Significance of the Human Faculty of the Will: Emphasizing and Understanding the Operations of the Will in Medical Science
Authors: Iwuh Dozie
Published: January 2024

Human life is a conglomeration of many operations working synchronistically in chaotic manner. What we refer to as conscious living has underneath it a series of unconscious activity that are well timed and effectively orchestrated to deliver. A good example is in the activity of white blood cells (WBCs), whose activity and action are triggered when there is a foreigner in the body. Their effectiveness has dubbed them the soldiers of the human body, responding to threats and seeking out ways to nullify any that has arisen, even when the human person is unconscious of the threat. We can cite many other examples to make concrete the assertion that the human life is a conglomeration of much operation working synchronistically in chaotic manner. However, what is important to this research at present is to ascertain the function of the human will in all that pertains to the human life. This is on the conscious plane (for the other cited example on WBCs, are on the unconscious plane). The human will (volition) is an operational faculty that is not attached to any specific organ in the body (albeit in the brain, since its expression is cognitively mediated); the human will is not a physically concrete, but its effect is however felt. Its domain is the conscious plane, and it is there that its effect is felt. The human person is a conscious determiner of his acts and even when medical (biological) science, consider this to be tied to the functioning of the brain; it is to be stated that the human person is not his brain. In consciously determining his acts, many cranial areas are employed; however, it is not these cranial areas that determine the eventual choice that is made. Thus there must be something else. The hypothesis in this research favors the will. This is what we seek to elaborate upon.
Exploiting Nanoparticles for Blood-Brain Barrier Permeation: A Promising Paradigm in Neurotherapeutics
Authors: Selvin Rosilda
Published: January 2024

Nano particles are widely used in the drug delivery systems to improve efficacy, bioavailability and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. They are typically ranging from the 1-100 nm in size and emerged as versatile tools in the field of drug delivery, revolutionizing the way therapeutic agents are transported and released within the human body. Role played by nanoparticles in crossing physiological barriers and enhancing the efficacy of therapeutic decisions. Nanoparticles exhibit unique physicochemical properties that enable them to navigate the intricate biological milieu and optimize drug delivery. The Blood Brain Barrier (BBB’s) intricate structure and its pivotal role in maintaining neural homeostasis Endothelial cells, tight junctions, and efflux transporters make up the majority of this specific barrier, which has historically made it difficult to deliver medications and therapeutic agents to the brain. These problems can only be solved by using nanoparticles’ unique physical and biological characteristics, which also provide a wide variety of nanocarriers and methods for improving BBB permeability. Nanoparticles use a variety of techniques to improve their interactions with the BBB, such as size optimization, surface charge alteration, and active targeting ligands the interplay of these mechanisms serves to overcome the physical and biochemical restrictions, allowing for controlled and targeted drug delivery to specific brain regions.

Authors: Yani Prawita , Sari Juwita , Pradhani Fastha Aulia
Published: January 2024

During Covid-19 pandemic, there is a downward of revenue among several businesses in Indonesia. It happens in manufacturing industry as well. Since revenue and profit often referred as growth indicators, therefore not many company concerns about Human Resource (HR). Meanwhile based on Human Resource Accounting (HRA) concept there is an impact of well-maintained HR against financial accounting statement. This research was held to describe the compliance of the HRA index in Indonesia manufacturing companies. The samples were using financial statement of 60 manufacturing companies for the year ended December 31, 2022. This research discussed the most disclosed indicator of 16 indexes and the least one. Therefore there would be no difficulties to prepare implicative feedbacks for HRA compliance in the industry. The most disclosed indicator is “Human Resource Policy” and the other way around, “Separated HRA Statement” become the least disclosed indicator. It was indicated, to prepare “Separated HRA Statement” is more difficult and complicated since it involves the overall company structures commitment and authorities. On the other hand, “Human Resource Policy” is easy to disclose since if there is no public notification about the basic HR Policy, the HR operation management would be a difficult task to be done.
