Published: July 2022

Background: Leptin is a hormone, secreted by adipocytes that control the food intake. It is an anorexigenic hormone, which leads to the suppression of appetite. Obesity is characterized by hyperleptinemia due to the development of leptin resistance 1. Resistin is a adipokine, resisting insulin secreted from scortal cell and macrophages of adipose cell. Diabetes is a chronic disorder presenting with high blood sugar values, either due to less production of insulin or insulin insensitivity. These adipokines have a direct correlation with diabetes. So their levels tend to vary in diabetes. Aim: To estimate the levels of Serum Leptin, Resistin, Insulin, FBS and lipid profile in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus patient. Material and methods: A cross sectional analytical studies was conducted in DR B R AMC. Study group included 80 known case of diabetes mellitus. 40 patients type 1 DM in group 1 and 40 patients with Type 2 DM was included as group 2. Results: BMI, FBS, Lipid profile had no significant difference among both the groups. Insulin was high in type 1 diabetes mellitus, but with no statistical significance. Leptin levels are significantly high in Type 1 DM compared to type 2 DM.

Authors: Wongsunopparat Sumas , He Chunjing 
Published: July 2022

As Corona virus pandemic has become a major driving force of seismic shift in how people shop and pay all over the world. These new consumer preferences of e-Payment are here to stay and will continue to shape the next normal for everyone involved in this whole new ecosystem for the years to come. Therefore all key stakeholders need to understand what factors influence and shape this changing market dynamics and shifting consumer expectations for these new e-Payment trends in order to remain competitive and thrive. Since Thailand has become tourist destination of Chinese. Consequently, e-Payment is becoming popular in recent years especially during Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this research is study of Factors influencing Chinese consumers’ desire to use e-Payment in Thailand. These factors are Benefits (BN), Trust & Security (TS), User friendly (UF), Technology (TN), Popularity (PP), Culture (CU), Government Policy (GP), Social Pressure (SP), Pop Culture (PC), Product value (PD) and e-Payment behavior (EP). 400 sample were collected using electronic questionnaire through social media such as Facebook, WeChat and Line. We used second-order Structural Equation Models (SEM) for data analysis. The result shows that RMSEA is .052 (<.06) which strongly indicates a “close fit” and the Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) value is .900, the model seems to fit well according to the descriptive measures of fit. More importantly, Trust & Security (TS) and second-order latent variable called Product value (PD) which represents User friendly (UF) and Technological aspects (TN) of e-Payment system seem to have significant effects on customer desire to use e-Payment due to their p-values are both less than .05. That means if e-Payment operators can provide highly-secure, high-tech, and user-friendly e-Payment system that can be trusted, people will be more likely to switch to use e-Payment to replace cards and cash any day. The results found in this research will help all key stakeholders—businesses, merchants, issuers and regulators alike—shape their strategy and identify critical technologies, rules and regulations to best position their organization for growth and support a rapid evolution of e-Payment methods in the new normal.
La Cannabis terapeutica nel trattamento del Disturbo Post Traumatico da Stress: Protocollo per una Scoping Review
Authors: Costantinopoli Simone 
Published: August 2022

INTRODUZIONE:Risultati recenti di alcuni studi sembrano riscontrare dei miglioramenti nella sintomatologia dei pazienti affetti da PTSD sottoposti a terapia con cannabis terapeutica (THC, CBD e NABILONE). Alcune revisioni hanno messo in luce, tuttavia, come si siano riscontrate diverse metodologie di assunzione e diverse forme di agente terapeutico e di come gli studi inclusi presentassero bias di varia natura. A fronte di queste evidenze, ha senso effettuare una nuova Scoping Review finalizzata ad eseguire una mappatura degli studi primari presenti in letteratura che riportino prove di efficacia rispetto l’utilizzo della cannabis per il trattamento della sintomatologia del PTSD riscontrate sino ad oggi, col fine di descrivere le modalità d’utilizzo, le posologie l’aderenza alla terapia dei pazienti ed alcune caratteristiche specifiche del campione che potrebbero risultare influenti come l’abuso precedente di alcool e droghe e l’aderenza a terapie pregresse.

METODI E ANALISI:Questa scoping review seguirà la metodologia del Joanna Briggs Institute, contenuta nel JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis. La ricerca della letteratura sarà condotta attraverso i database PubMed, Scopus, Web Of Science, Cochrane Library, Elsevier, Psycinfo; in aggiunta, saranno consultate anche fonti di letteratura grigia. Saranno inclusi unicamente trial clinici (randomizzati e non) e studi quasi sperimentali in lingua italiana o inglese e disponibili in versione full text. Le informazioni chiave degli studi saranno estratte e presentate sia in forma narrativa che in forma riassuntiva con opportune tabelle per dare una panoramica adeguata dei contenuti della letteratura scientifica esistente sull’argomento.
Assessment of disabled paediatric patients for accessing palliative care: validation of a new tool
Authors: Migliavacca Eleonora Maria , Di Bari Alessandra 
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: By reviewing the literature, no work has emerged about the presence of a Palliative Care Network dedicated to the Italian disabled pediatric population. however, there is an increase in the prevalence of children with ingrained illness and / or serious disabilities who are in need of such treatment. The difficulty in defining when a child becomes incurable persists. Along with the diagnosis of incurability, the other crucial factor is the extent of "care needs".OBJECTIVES: the aim of the study is to build an assessment tool for defining access criteria to Pediatric Palliative Care for patients with advanced illness and / or severe disability. B
METHODS: an observational, prospective, multicenter study was conducted, by using the Clinical Assessment Tool (CAT) scale, which has been proposed by the paediatric hospice of Padua (Italy) without formal validation. We studied a non-randomized sample of 101 patients from five healthcare facilities in Northern Italy. We modified the CAT scale by adding items from other tools used in Palliative Care. The study was divided into two periods at a distance of one month, in order to assess the patients’ clinical evolution.
RESULTS: internal consistency of the CAT tool was good ​​(alpha=0.83). Explorative factor analysis showed acceptable loadings on each item. Positive and negative predictive values ​were 0.97 and 0.98, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: the scale is reliable in identifying individuals in need of Pediatric Palliative Care and seems a promising tool for assessing the needs for palliative care in children with ingrained illness and/or severe disability.
Le complicanze stomali prima e dopo l’introduzione dello stoma siting effettuato dall’infermiere: uno studio retrospettivo
Authors: Foresti Laura 
Published: August 2022

PREMESSA: Il 3%-82% dei pazienti stomizzati va incontro a complicanze stomali, che determinano un aggravio assistenziale con allungamento della degenza e dei tempi di recupero dell’autonomia gestionale dello stoma. In letteratura emerge come la mancanza del disegno stomale preoperatorio risulti uno dei fattori che aumenta l’incidenza di complicanze stomali, insieme al carattere d’urgenza dell’intervento, all’altezza, al tipo di stoma e all’indice di massa corporea.
SCOPO: Valutare il numero e le caratteristiche delle complicanze stomali, nel periodo precedente all’introduzione della procedura del disegno stomale preoperatorio eseguito dall’infermiere e confrontare tali numeri con quelli riguardanti le complicanze rilevate nel periodo successivo all’introduzione della procedura di stoma siting.
METODI: Studio osservazionale retrospettivo monocentrico presso le U.U.O.O. di Chirurgia generale e Urologia nell’Ospedale San Paolo dell’ASST Santi Paolo e Carlo di Milano. Campione di convenienza composto da pazienti sottoposti a confezionamento di una stomia enterale e urinaria.
RISULTATI: Sono stati reclutati 264 pazienti. Il 51,1% ha manifestato complicanze stomali; il 42,9% aveva effettuato lo stoma siting il 61,5% no. Le complicanze più frequenti sono state le alterazioni cutanee peristomali (29,9%); la differenza di numero tra i singoli tipi di complicanze nei due gruppi è clinicamente rilevante.
CONCLUSIONI: Lo stoma siting è una procedura di competenza infermieristica che, se ben eseguita, porta alla riduzione delle complicanze stomali. È responsabilità dell’infermiere garantire a ciascun paziente sottoposto a confezionamento di stomia la corretta esecuzione del disegno stomale, ogni volta che le condizioni del quadro clinico lo consentono.
Communication as a Tool for Addressing Racial Disparity: Reflections from the COVID ICU
Authors: Staub Spenser 
Published: July 2022

It was early in the afternoon when Mr. G was transferred to our intensive care unit (ICU) for hypoxia and an increasing oxygen requirement. SARS-CoV-2 positivity was a given. At the time, our state was tallying some of the highest incidence rates of COVID-19 in the nation, and I was working one of several “COVID-only” ICU units- a ragtag collection of beds in a reinvented neonatal nursery. The majority of our patients were either mechanically ventilated on arrival or rapidly approaching the need for it. I was placing orders into the computer when Mr. G’s nurse informed me he was refusing intubation. “He said that?” “He was pretty adamant.” I entered his unit expecting to encounter hypoxia-driven confusion but instead found his true pathology to be anxiety. Mr. G was suffering from the “silent hypoxia” seen in certain COVID patients – his oxygen needs had been steadily increasing, but subjectively he felt the same.1 He had been declining- innocently and unknowingly teetering on an invisible ledge that only we could see. All he saw was a more intimidating room with restless commotion and talk of very invasive therapies. He was overwhelmed and had declined intubation in an attempt to gain control of a rapidly changing environment.

Published: July 2022

Cheese tea contains two main ingredients, tea, and dairy products. Green tea, black tea, and dairy products in the cheese tea have been shown to have beneficial effects on both body weight and blood glucose. However, there is no evidence that this benefit also applies to cheese tea. Moreover, cheese tea drinks which are sold in the market may be added with sugar to enhance flavor. This study aims to identify the effect of green tea and black tea in cheese tea on body weight and the risk of diabetes mellitus. The research was conducted with experiments on 32 male Swiss Webster mice which were divided into eight groups, namely the negative control (water), positive control (dextrose), and treatment group consisting of cheese green tea or cheese black tea groups with different compositions of sugar. The test drinks were administered once a day orally for 21 days. The results of this study showed that cheese green tea or cheese black tea affected blood glucose, but not body weight. Consumption of normal sugar cheese black tea and half sugar cheese black tea showed a significant increase in blood glucose compared to negative control, so there is a risk of developing diabetes mellitus. Meanwhile, consumption of unsweetened cheese tea and half-sugar cheese green tea did not increase blood glucose levels significantly compared to negative control. In conclusion, consumption of cheese tea with green tea shows a better effect on blood glucose.

La Retinopatía del Prematuro (ROP por sus siglas en inglés) es una causa importante de ceguera infantil en países totalmente industrializados desde 1942. Poco a poco en la medida que los servicios de atención en las unidades de neonatología en países en vías de desarrollo ha mejorado, esta patología es más frecuente. Se ha demostrado que las variaciones de las concentraciones de oxígeno durante las primeras semanas postnatales es perjudicial y favorece el desarrollo de ROP. Esto contribuye a las dos fases del desarrollo de la Retinopatía.
