Aims: In many low-income countries, fasting glucose is the primary measure for monitoring glycaemic control. Many patients in these countries walk long distances to the clinic, but the impact of walking on fasting glucose in type 2 diabetes is unknown. We aimed to determine the impact of walking on fasting glucose in people with type 2 diabetes.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFNatural biopolymers have a rich history, with many uses across the fields of healthcare and medicine, including formulations for wound dressings, surgical implants, tissue culture substrates, and drug delivery vehicles. Yet, synthetic-based materials have been more successful in translation due to precise control and regulation achievable during manufacturing. However, there is a renewed interest in natural biopolymers, which offer a diverse landscape of architecture, sustainable sourcing, functional groups, and properties that synthetic counterparts cannot fully replicate as processing and sourcing of these materials has improved.

- * A diagnosis of metastatic small-cell colonic cancer, specifically extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCC), was confirmed through flexible sigmoidoscopy and biopsy after imaging showed abnormal findings.
- * Treatment began with urgent chemotherapy, but the patient developed tumor lysis syndrome and subsequently declined, ultimately passing away shortly after admission; management of this rare condition lacks robust clinical trial evidence.
Objectives: To descriptively compare and contrast intervention techniques for preschool children with features of developmental language disorder (outcome: oral vocabulary) and speech sound disorder (outcome: speech comprehensibility) and analyse them in relation to effectiveness and theory.
Design: This is a systematic review with narrative synthesis. The process was supported by an expert steering group consisting of relevant professionals and people with lived experience.
