Objective: The Chronic Disease Self-Management Programme (CDSMP) is a small-group intervention attended by people with chronic diseases and aims to promote self-efficacy and improve health. We adopted this programme to improve population health in the Western region of Singapore. This study aimed to evaluate the association of the CDSMP with various health outcomes for people with chronic disease living in the community.
Methods: Validated instruments were used to measure various health outcomes. Participants completed baseline questionnaires before the programme. Post-intervention questionnaires were administered 6 months after programme. Primary outcome measures include self-efficacy and self-rated health status while secondary outcomes include several other self-management behaviours and healthcare utilisation.
Results: 461 participants attended the baseline questionnaire and 265 participants returned for the post-intervention questionnaire from November 2014 to August 2020. Post intervention, participants had statistically significant improvement in self-efficacy, self-rated health score, self-management behaviours and symptoms. The proportion of participants with depression and medication adherence also improved. There were no statistically significant changes in cognitive symptom management and healthcare utilisation.
Conclusion: CDSMP in the community can improve health outcomes and should be standard care for people with chronic disease. It can be an effective way for sustainable chronic disease management in Singapore.

Backgrounds And Aims: CD8+T cells are crucially associated with the fight against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. CD161 has been shown to express remarkably on HCV-specific CD8+T cells. However, the accurate function of CD161+CD8+T cells in HBV immunity or pathogenesis remains undetermined.

Background: The present community-based study assessed the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD)/chronic kidney disease of unknown origin (CKDu) as well as anemia in some intense agricultural zones under Hirakud Command Area and evaluated their association with pesticides and heavy metal exposure.
Methods: Random cluster sampling method was used to assess the prevalence of CKD and anemia. Hematological analysis was carried out using autoanalyzer.

Around one-quarter of all patients undergoing cardiac procedures, particularly those on cardiopulmonary bypass, develop cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). This complication increases the risk of several serious morbidities and of mortality, representing a significant burden for both patients and the healthcare system. Patients with diminished kidney function before surgery, such as those with chronic kidney disease, are at heightened risk of developing CSA-AKI and have poorer outcomes than patients without preexisting kidney injury who develop CSA-AKI.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a significant cause of liver disease and cancer worldwide. Understanding the genetic factors influencing HBV evolution is crucial for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies. Host genetic and environmental factors particularly influence the evolution of this infection.
