Educators' Perspectives on the Teaching and Learning of Type 2 Diabetes Content in Physiotherapy Programmes across Canada.

Purpose: This qualitative descriptive study researched educators' perspectives of type 2 diabetes (T2D) Teaching and learning, in physiotherapy (PT) programmes across Canada.

Methods: Faculty members and clinical instructors from the 15 PT programmes in Canada were contacted. Online surveys collected data on the educators' professional background and perspectives on T2D in the PT curriculum.

Learnings from nursing bridging education programs: A scoping review.

Aim: The aim of this scoping review is to summarize and critically evaluate research focused on nursing bridging education programs internationally. Specifically, this review addresses bridging from a: (1) Personal Support Worker (or similar) to a Registered Practical Nurse (or similar); and (2) Registered Practical Nurse (or similar) to a Registered Nurse.

Background: Nursing bridging education programs support learners to move from one level of educational preparation or practice to another.

Assessing physical function after completing a supervised education and exercise program in adults with type 2 diabetes and exploring exercise motivation at one-year follow up: A case series study.

Background: Exercise programs for adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) improve glycemic control and physical function. However, diabetes complications, disability, and motivation pose challenges for exercise participation.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to: 1) measure change in fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, anthropometrics (i.

The effects of exercise interventions on physical function tests and glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review.

Introduction: Regular exercise improves glycemic control and helps to mitigate the decline in strength, mobility, and balance. The 6-min walk test (6MWT), timed up-and-go test (TUG) and the sit-to-stand test (STS) are reliable measures of physical function in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Outcome measures allow physiotherapists to monitor changes in physical function with exercise prescription.

Isoform-specific Roles of Prolyl Hydroxylases in the Regulation of Pancreatic β-Cell Function.

Pancreatic β-cells can secrete insulin via 2 pathways characterized as KATP channel -dependent and -independent. The KATP channel-independent pathway is characterized by a rise in several potential metabolic signaling molecules, including the NADPH/NADP+ ratio and α-ketoglutarate (αKG). Prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs), which belong to the αKG-dependent dioxygenase superfamily, are known to regulate the stability of hypoxia-inducible factor α.

Role of n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Exercise in Breast Cancer Prevention: Identifying Common Targets.

Diet and exercise are recognized as important lifestyle factors that significantly influence breast cancer risk. In particular, dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been shown to play an important role in breast cancer prevention. Growing evidence also demonstrates a role for exercise in cancer and chronic disease prevention.
