Mobilizing morality: how caregivers in Vietnam handle the challenges of daily diabetes care.

Background: As a chronic disease, type 2 diabetes (T2D) often involves long-term care obligations for patients' family members. Understanding the socially and culturally specific challenges that family caregivers face and how they cope with them is crucial in developing targeted and effective interventions to support both caregivers and patients with T2D. This research examined family caregiving for people with T2D living in rural northern Vietnam.

Serum amyloid A does not predict non-survival in hospitalised adult horses with acute colitis.

Methods: Clinical variables, SAA and other blood biomarkers, including plasma L-lactate (lactate), were assessed in 176 horses with acute colitis.
