Disease management of type 2 diabetes: a follow-up analysis in a sanitary district of Sicily
2011
AIM:The aim of this paper was to analyze the Disease management of type 2 diabetes in a sanitary district of the Sicily Region (Italy). METHODS: In a population of 9 698 subjects, we selected patients with known type 2 diabetes: a cohort of 385 subjects, (206 women and 179 men) following up for one year. Prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the analyzed population was 3.97%. A great lot of cohort was on a diet. RESULTS: After one year, a per cent reduction of obese and overweight subjects was observed. No differences were observed for Body Mass Index (BMI) at the beginning and at the end of the study. After one year, through educational meetings with the doctor, a significant increase of knowle…
Effect of candesartan on progression and regression of retinopathy in type 2 diabetes (DIRECT-Protect 2): a randomised placebo-controlled trial.
2008
Summary Background Results of previous studies suggest that renin-angiotensin system blockers might reduce the burden of diabetic retinopathy. We therefore designed the DIabetic REtinopathy Candesartan Trials (DIRECT) Programme to assess whether candesartan could reduce the incidence and progression of retinopathy in type 1 diabetes. Methods Two randomised, double-blind, parallel-design, placebo-controlled trials were done in 309 centres worldwide. Participants with normotensive, normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetes without retinopathy were recruited to the DIRECT-Prevent 1 trial and those with existing retinopathy were recruited to DIRECT-Protect 1, and were assigned to candesartan 16 mg once …
Typology of human aggression and its biological control
2008
Human aggression is considered a global public health problem with a tremendous impact on the victims. Scientists studying this behaviour can contribute to reducing this worldwide problem by identifying its causes and designing preventive interventions and treatment. Those working on its biological bases need to establish which types of human aggression may be candidates for a biological intervention, which makes it necessary to develop a typology of this behaviour. Considering the primary goal that guides the perpetrator to behave aggressively, a distinction is made between impulsive and premeditated types. However, to control aggression, the distinction should be made between individuals …
The health promoting sports club in Finland--a challenge for the settings-based approach.
2006
SUMMARY The purpose of this article is, first, to compile a frame of reference for the health promoting sports club and, second, to develop standards for the concept. This concept is based on the settings-based health promotion approach. Sports clubs are a new setting for health promotion, which until now has been little examined from a settings point of view. Nevertheless, this concept has much potential. For example, sports clubs attract a large number of children and adolescents and their educational nature can be considered to be informal. The present standards were developed using the Delphi method. The researcher, in cooperation with a panel of experts (experts in health promotion, n …
Differences in treatment adherence, program completion, and recidivism among batterer subtypes
2017
Abstract The present study aimed to cross-validate Holtzworth-Munroe and Stuart's typology in a Spanish sample of court-referred intimate partner violence batterers. The study also analyzed the typology's capability to predict treatment attendance, completion, and IPV recidivism two years after the treatment. The sample consisted of 210 batterers court referred to a batterer intervention program. Using cluster analysis, three batterer subtypes were identified in accordance with the original typology: family-only batterers, borderline/dysphoric, and generally violent-antisocial. The typology predicted program attendance, completion, and recidivism. Batterers from the generally violent-antiso…
Análisis de los factores que influyen en el efecto de variantes genéticas en el riesgo de obesidad y diabetes
2017
El incremento de la prevalencia de enfermedades crónicas como son la obesidad y la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DMT2) es uno de los grandes problemas de la salud pública. Ambas enfermedades se consideran además factores de riesgo de otras patologías, entre las que se encuentran las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV). La obesidad es una enfermedad producida por un desequilibrio entre el aporte de energía y el gasto energético, lo que provoca un aumento de la grasa corporal. La DMT2 es un desorden metabólico caracterizado por un defecto en la secreción o acción de la insulina, provocando un elevado nivel de azúcar en sangre. Los avances en las técnicas de biología molecular han permitido incorp…
Estudio de los factores del estilo de vida, genéticos y epigenéticos, que influyen en la obesidad y enfermedades relacionadas en población mediterrán…
2017
La obesidad ha sido catalogada como la epidemia del siglo XXI, cuya prevalencia a nivel mundial ha ido aumentado en las últimas décadas. La obesidad se define como una acumulación anormal o excesiva de grasa que puede ser perjudicial para la salud. Además de ser considerada una enfermedad, es un factor de riesgo para otras patologías. El origen de la obesidad es multifactorial, y se produce como resultado de la combinación de los efectos genéticos, ambientales y sus interacciones. Los factores ambientales son factores modificables que pueden considerarse de estilo de vida, y los factores genéticos son considerados no modificables teniendo un papel importante, entre el 40-80% en la susceptib…
