Emotional Distress and Cardiovascular Health in Young Adults with Type 1 Diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex chronic condition that places young adults aged 18-31 years at high risk for general and diabetes-related distress and poor cardiovascular health. Both general and diabetes distress are linked to higher A1C, a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this cross-sectional quantitative descriptive study was to examine the associations between distress symptoms (general and diabetes) and cardiovascular health while considering covariates in young adults ages 18-31 years with T1D.

Objective: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with women's decision-making power on modern contraceptive use in Girawa district, Eastern Ethiopia, January 1-30, 2024.

Exploration of the micellization behavior of sodium dodecyl sulfate in aqueous solution of gastric enzyme pepsin: Assessment of the consequences of sodium electrolytes and temperature.

This study explores the interactions between pepsin and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) using conductometric analysis and molecular docking to deepen our understanding of the role of pepsin. Conductometric studies were conducted to examine the micellization behavior of SDS with pepsin in aqueous solutions of various sodium electrolytes (NaBr, Na₂SO₄, Na₃PO₄, and CH₃COONa) at temperatures ranging from 300.55 K to 320.

Exploring experiences and perspectives of patients on hypertension management in Southern Ethiopia: a phenomenological study.

Background: Hypertension is a significant public health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where its management is often inadequate. Understanding patients' experiences and perspectives is crucial for improving hypertension care. Despite a growing body of literature on hypertension in Ethiopia, most studies focus on quantitative data, leaving a significant gap in qualitative insights into patient experiences and perspectives.
