AbstractBackgroundHigh Risk Foot Clinic (HRFC) patients have foot ulceration commonly associated with poorer quality of life (QoL). A positive SARC‐F test is predictive of sarcopenia. The objective of this study is to investigate whether SARC‐F positive status is associated with lower QoL among attendees of HRFC, which is currently unknown.Methods and resultsIn this cross‐sectional study ambulatory HRFC patients were recruited at metropolitan tertiary referral hospital over one year. Demographics, comorbidities, SARC‐F and EQ‐5D‐3L (EuroQol Group) outcomes were collected. Association between SARC‐F status and EQ‐5D visual analogue scale measurement, as well as individual EQ‐5D‐3L dimensions were investigated using, respectively, linear robust and ordinal logistic regression modelling. The clinic was attended by 122 new patients, 85 of whom (69%) completed the questionnaires with no selection bias identified. 43/85 (51%) patients were SARC‐F positive as indicated by a score of 4 or greater. No significant differences between SARC‐F positive and negative patients were identified in age or diabetes status. SARC‐F positive patients had consistently lower EQ‐5D‐3L visual analogue scale measurement [mean 5.3 (SD 2.0); median 5 (IQR: 4, 6.5)] compared to SARC‐F negative patients [6.6 (SD 1.9); 7 (5.5, 7.5)], adjusted mean difference ‐1.2 (95%CI: ‐2.1, ‐0.4; p=0.007). SARC‐F positive patients demonstrated consistent and statistically significantly worse EQ‐5D‐3L scores on mobility, personal care and usual activities, but not on anxiety/depression and pain/discomfort components.ConclusionsApproximately half of HRFC patients are SARC‐F positive and exhibit significantly lower QoL as measured by EQ‐5D‐3L compared to SARC‐F negative patients.

Published: February 2019

Marketing was previously considered as synonymous with selling of tangible products therefore much emphasis was placed on physical products to the service industry. Many people did not find it necessary to practice marketing in the service industry, not knowing that this is the sector that needs marketing. Kotler (1999) defined a service as any act of performance that one party can offer to another, that is essentially tangible as does not result in the ownership of anything. This research work was about Taxi Driver’s level of awareness of the role of quality customer service in the provision of transport service to passengers in New Juaben North. The research was to evaluate customers’ perception about services provided by the Taxi drivers, to evaluate Taxi drivers understanding of quality customer service and to establish the relationship between taxi drivers and the customers. . The sample size for the study was one hundred and fifty (150). It comprised of one hundred (100) customers and fifty (50) taxi drivers. The researchers used non-probability sampling, convenience sampling and purposive sampling.
Researchers choose this topic simply because empirical evidence proves that Taxi drivers in New Juaben South do not value passengers, they feel they are doing the passengers a favour because of taxi’s fastness as compared to the “Trotro”. To help us carry out this research we developed two questionnaires for Taxi drivers and the passengers. The study revealed that Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) and other Transport Associations organize training for its members to escape not from road accidents alone, but also how to handle passengers in that the passengers will intend develop positive relationships with them to improve customer relations and preferences towards taxi services than the Trotro which is in serious competition with the taxi business. Researchers concluded that providing quality service to passengers is the main marketing problem that Taxi drivers are facing and need special attention. The study recommends that various Transport Associations in conjunction with customer groups in New Juaben South Municipality must educate Taxi drivers on the importance of the customer and why it is necessary to satisfy the customers.

Published: February 2019

Thyroid function test (TFT) is one of the frequently asked investigations. There is continuous increase and demand for this test. The reasons for increased number of thyroid testing include the wide list of clinical presentation of thyroid disorders with variable signs and symptoms. The thyroid gland itself can be affected with different ranges of disorders including auto-antibodies, congenital, genetics and cancers (1,2). In addition, the thyroid disorders can mimic or co-exist with other conditions especially in elderly and children. This climbing number of tests makes a financial burden to the laboratory. It necessitated extra reagents and consumables, extra manpower and some time extra analyzer.

The study on the modifying role of mitochondrial DNA polymorphism in the Brugada syndrome manifestation
Authors: Golubenko M. V. , Mikhaylov V. S. , Zaklyazminskaya E. V. 
Published: February 2019

Background: Brugada syndrome is a hereditary disease with genetic and phenotypic variability characterized by a high risk for arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. It is assumed that modifying genetic factors contribute to the variability of the phenotype. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphism can be considered among such factors, since mitochondrial dysfunction, including that associated with mtDNA variants, can have an arrhythmogenic effect. Aim: To study possible association between mtDNA polymorphism with the phenotype in the Russian patients with Brugada syndrome. Materials and methods: We have studied mtDNA polymorphism in 36 Russian probands with Brugada syndrome. Common “European” haplogroups of mtDNA were assigned using sequencing of the hypervariable segment 1 in mtDNA D-loop. Results: In the study sample, the frequencies of the mtDNA haplogroups generally correspond to the distribution common for the Russian populations, except the J haplogroup, which was not found in the studied probands. The results contradict with previously published data on the J and T haplogroups as risk factors for Brugada syndrome manifestation. Conclusion: The study did not reveal the role of mtDNA polymorphism (J and T haplogroups) in the formation of the Brugada syndrome phenotype.
