A systematic literature review on how consumer and community involvement have shaped and influenced pre-pregnancy care interventions for women with diabetes.

Background: Diabetes and pregnancy studies have found better outcomes when interventions were developed with consumer (individuals with lived experience of diabetes) and community involvement. When consumers are central to development and delivery of interventions, study participants have better engagement and outcomes, particularly for individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and/or lower socio-economic backgrounds. Our study aims to examine the scope of consumer and community involvement (CCI) in the construction and implementation of pre-pregnancy care (PPC) interventions and discuss a framework for consumer-lead intervention development.

More than Meets the Eye: Orbital Swelling in an Adolescent with Sickle Cell Disease.

Periorbital swelling is a clinical presentation with a broad differential and potentially deleterious consequence. Causes range from benign, including allergic reaction, to vision- and life-threatening, including orbital cellulitis and orbital infarction. The recent climate of SARS-CoV-2 has further complicated this differential, as the virus poses broad clinical presentations with new manifestations reported frequently.

The Effect of Attitudes Towards Individuals with Sexual Convictions on Professional and Student Risk Judgments.

Attitudes towards individuals with sexual convictions is an area with growing research interest, but the effects of such attitudes on professional judgments is largely unexplored. What is known from the existing literature is that attitudes guide the interpretation of sexual crime related information, which cascade into potential biased or heuristically driven judgments. In this study we recruited samples of both students ( = 341) and forensic professionals ( = 186) to explore whether attitudes towards individuals with sexual convictions predicted risk judgments of hypothetical sexual offense scenarios, and whether this relationship is moderated by professional status or perpetrator characteristics.

Fooled by the fragments: vitamin B12 deficiency masquerading as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a hematological emergency requiring prompt plasmapheresis. Conversely, vitamin B12 deficiency is a relatively benign diagnosis that can mimic microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, characterized by the presence of anemia, thrombocytopenia, indirect hyperbilirubinemia, markers of hemolysis, and schistocytes. This case series highlights the association of vitamin B12 deficiency and its TTP-like presentations.

Where Does the Patient Fit? An Analysis of Word Use Within the Context of Interprofessional Collaborative Care.

Patient-centeredness is considered central to interprofessional collaborative patient care as a participatory, partnered approach between health care professionals and patients. Content analysis of 501 articles from the 1986, 1987, 1988, 1996, 2006, 2013, 2014, and 2018 volumes of a selected journal was undertaken. The purposes were to identify contexts in which the term patient was used in articles with a primary focus on interprofessional care and to identify trends in its usage.

Breakfast Cereal Consumption Moderates the Association Between Body Composition and Body Esteem in Young Women but not in Young Men.

Purpose: To explore the role of breakfast cereal consumption on the relationships among BMI, percent fat mass (%FM), and body esteem in young adults.

Methods: Weight, height, and %FM (by air displacement plethysmography) were measured in 29 males (aged 25.1 ± 4.

Autophagy has a significant role in determining skin color by regulating melanosome degradation in keratinocytes.

Melanin in the epidermis determines the wide variation in skin color associated with ethnic skin diversity. Ethnic differences exist regarding melanosome loss in keratinocytes, but the mechanisms underlying these differences, and their contribution to the regulation of skin color, remain unclear. Here, we explored the involvement of autophagy in determining skin color by regulating melanosome degradation in keratinocytes.
