Our study confirms a high prevalence of CKD in patients with T2DM and its relationship with the presence of cardiovascular disease.

To conduct an epidemiological analysis of patterns observed in diabetes care provided to individuals with and without intellectual disabilities (ID) in primary care settings.
An ID-cohort (N = 21,203) was compared with a control group of similar age and sex from the general Dutch population (N = 267,628). Distinctive data for diabetes (both type 1 and type 2) and related complications were retrieved from national databases.
The prevalence of diabetes was higher in people with ID than in the general population (9.9% versus 6.6%). Largest differences were seen in younger age groups. Women with ID had diabetes more often than men with ID. Complications were less common in people with ID than in the general population (IR 58.6 vs. 70.4). In particular, cardiological complications were noted less, while surgical interventions and hospitalization occurred more often.
Although diabetes was 1.5 times more prevalent in people with ID than in other people, related complications were less common, followed different patterns and were more severe than in the general population. Future research is needed to understand of the underlying causal mechanisms and to lower the risk of severe diabetic complications among people with ID.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated level of blood glucose. It affects more than 422 million people globally. In resource limited settings, the progression of gestational diabetes (GDM) to DM was not well investigated and this research work was conducted to estimate the incidence of DM after GDM and their predictors in resource limited settings.
A retrospective and prospective cohort studies were used from January 2010 until December 2019. The data were collected using patients chart review, interview and collecting blood sample. Initially, baseline data were collected from GDM and GDM free women and update data were collected every 3 month. Clinical nurses were used to extract the necessary data from medical charts and to collect the data using patient interview. Laboratory technologists were used to measure the blood glucose level of the study participants. The study was conducted in pregnant women presenting themselves in the referral hospitals of Amhara regional sthigh and special follow up should be implemented for women with a history of abortion, stillbirth, and family history of DM.
The progression of GDM to DM was very high and special follow up should be implemented for women with a history of abortion, stillbirth, and family history of DM.Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) is commonly found in soil and water so is impossible to avoid completely. Parents/carers of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) are concerned about them acquiring PsA from the environment, and different families view risk differently. Our ethos is to enable children with CF to take part as much as possible in educational and fun home activities, in order to maintain their quality of life (and their family's), and not have them feel different from other children. This review presents advice for families as to what they must definitely avoid, what they must take precautions with but can allow, and what they must not avoid. It is mostly evidence-based, but where evidence is lacking it a consensus view from the Paediatric CF Unit at the Royal Brompton Hospital.
Pain is one of the most disturbing and distressing symptoms experienced by cancer patients, and it is the most stressful factor affecting all aspects of patients and their families' lives. Understanding the barriers to effective cancer pain management in home setting is essential for designing programs to improve the quality of the patients and their families' lives.
Exploring family caregivers' and cancer patients' experiences of barriers to pain management at home.
Qualitative exploratory descriptive study.
Twenty patients and 32 family caregivers were recruited from oncology wards and palliative medicine clinics in hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences.
In-depth interviews were conducted with each participant, and audio-recorded and transcribed interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Ten major themes emerged regarding barriers to cancer pain management in home setting "Drug dependence and addiction," "Malingering," "Negative attitudes towards opioid analgesia," "Concealing pain," "Painful comorbidities," "Conflict in family members' perspectives," "Inaccessibility of pain relief facilities," "Poor skill and knowledge," "Patients' feelings of depression and hopelessness," and "Caregiver burden."
The study documented the need for supportive and educational programs for cancer patients and their family caregivers in an attempt to improve the effectiveness of pain managment and cancer patients' quality of life.

Little is known about mucocutaneous disease in acutely ill children and adolescents with COVID-19 and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).
To characterize mucocutaneous disease and its relation to clinical course among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and MIS-C.
Descriptive cohort study of prospectively and consecutively hospitalized eligible patients between May 11, 2020 and June 5, 2020.
In COVID-19 patients, 4 of 12 (33%) had rash and/or mucositis, including erythema, morbilliform pattern, and lip mucositis. In MIS-C patients, 9 of 19 (47%) had rash and/or mucositis, including erythema, morbilliform, retiform purpura, targetoid and urticarial patterns, along with acral edema, lip mucositis, tongue papillitis, and conjunctivitis. COVID-19 patients with rash had less frequent respiratory symptoms, pediatric intensive care unit admission, invasive ventilation, and shorter stay versus COVID-19 patients without rash. RepSox Smad inhibitor MIS-C patients with rash had less frequent pediatric intensive care unit admission, shock, ventilation, as well as lower levels of C-reactive protein, ferritin, D-dimer, and troponin (vs MIS-C without rash).
