The Teachers' Knowledge of Type 1 Diabetes in Schools: An Interventional Study.
Curr Diabetes Rev
December 2024
Background: Managing type 1 diabetes in school is a real challenge for teachers, parents, and students themselves. Involving school educators in providing care and support is becoming more of a necessity than a luxury to facilitate access to healthcare services in schools for children with type 1 diabetes.
Objectives: Our work aimed to assess the background knowledge of teachers on type 1 diabetes and evaluate the impact of an educational intervention in improving this knowledge.
Is there any association between vitamin D status and PCOS disease?
Gynecol Endocrinol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a widespread hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, and this study focused on evaluating vitamin D levels in women with PCOS compared to healthy controls.
- The study analyzed 176 women, finding that 40.2% of those with PCOS had vitamin D deficiency, significantly higher than the 24% observed in healthy controls, and those with both PCOS and obesity or insulin resistance had even lower vitamin D levels.
- The research suggests that vitamin D deficiency may play a role in the development of PCOS, particularly in women with obesity or insulin resistance, indicating that vitamin D supplementation could be helpful in managing the condition.
Article Synopsis
- Plasmapheresis is explored as a therapy for hyperthyroidism, especially in severe cases like thyroid storm, where it helps quickly reduce thyroid hormone levels and antibodies.
- The study showcases three young African patients with Graves' disease who experienced complications from traditional treatments and successfully underwent plasmapheresis, which stabilized their condition for surgery.
- The findings suggest that while standard treatments are often effective, plasmapheresis can be a safe and efficient alternative for patients unable to tolerate conventional medications before surgery.

Oilfield-produced water as a medium for the growth of Chlorella pyrenoidosa outdoor in an arid region.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
December 2022
Oilfield-produced wastewater (OPW) provided by the local oil industry was used as a medium (without any pre-treatment) for the outdoor cultivation of microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa. The effectiveness of algal growth on the produced water treatment has been investigated. The experimental setups were carried out outdoor, under sunlight radiation, using an open system sited in the desert area.
