Article Synopsis
- The study focused on analyzing glycemic control and treatment regimens for Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) management in Greece, identifying factors influencing clinical decisions, and measuring compliance with guidelines.
- Conducted as a national, multicenter registry, it enrolled 1,191 T2DM patients from 59 healthcare sites, stratifying them based on treatment strategies A (lifestyle and one oral agent), B (up to 3 agents excluding insulin), and C (any regimens involving insulin).
- Results showed that overall, 53% of patients achieved target HbA1c levels, with those on insulin therapy (group C) being older and having poorer compliance compared to other groups, while adherence to guidelines was generally high
Background: Admission of a patient in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the recovery process may be stressful for family members.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the families' psychological symptoms and their evolution over the 1 week of patients' ICU stay. Additional objectives were the estimation of the families' need for support and the estimation of satisfaction regarding the information provided by ICU physicians.
The aim of this study was to quantify the hygienic status of a lamb slaughterhouse by means of multivariate statistical analysis, to demonstrate how the microbiological data could be exploited to improve the lamb slaughter process by constructing control charts and to evaluate the potential effect of an intervention step such as steam application on the microbiological quality of lamb carcasses. Results showed that pelt removal and evisceration were hygienically uncontrolled. TVC and Enterobacteriaceae progressively increased from the stage 'after pelt removal of hind and forelegs/before final pulling' to the stage 'after evisceration/before pluck removal' thus indicating possible deposition of microorganisms during these operations.
