Abstract:
Statement of the Problem: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is highly prevalent among patients with diabetes mellitus. It affects approximately 20% of diabetic patients, who are believed to be more than 400 million individuals. The objectives of the present work were to assess patterns of albuminuria and determine microalbuminuria predictors among patients living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who attended the family medicine department of Jazan Armed Forces Hospital.
Methodology: A case-control design was used and included two groups (n, 202/group), one with microalbuminuria and the other with a normal urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR). Data regarding patient history, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile, renal function tests, ACR, ASCVD (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease) risk, etc., were collected.
Biography:
Dr. David Kaufman is a Professor Emeritus in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University and is devoting his retirement to studying and contributing to the topic of happiness. He has conducted research on happiness and recently published a book entitled ‘Super Happy: A Practical Guide to Banish Worry, Anxiety, and Stress and Reclaim Joy and Inner Peace (https://amzn.to/3rEkQbW). Dr. Kaufman’s online happiness course and Facebook community help people to overcome their blocks and challenges and move forward positively in their lives. He is devoting his retirement life to helping others learn and apply the skills to be happy, so they can live their best lives and become ‘beacons of light’ to inspire and motivate others.
Abstract:
Happy people experience a more enjoyable life and are a ‘beacon of light’ to those around them. A beacon of light is someone who inspires or encourages others. They guide and give hope to others and spread their positivity and motivation to people around them. Not surprisingly however, an unhappy is toxic to everyone around them. The famous Terman study from Stanford University followed people for 80 years and found that being around unhappy people is toxic and affects your health and lifespan in a similar way to second-hand smoke. Unhappiness drives people away, creating a vicious cycle that erodes positive connections with family members, friends, and even strangers. If you radiate joy, positivity and kindness to your patients, this has a positive impact on their healing journey and health outcomes.

Therefore, this study aimed to assess and compare the prevalence of poor sleep quality and associated factors among type 2 diabetes mellites patients and non-diabetes individuals in Bahir Dar governmental hospitals.
Methods: Comparative cross-sectional study was employed among 292 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellites and 291 non-diabetic individuals in Bahir Dar governmental hospitals from March 01- to April-01. A two-stage cluster sampling method was employed to select participants. Pittsburgh sleeps quality index was used for assessing sleep quality. For analysis, descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression models were used.

Abstract:
It is a fact that women who are ready to give birth to their babies naturally need to do some physical activity, such as standing, walking, sitting, or kneeling, in order to allow for the "gravity effect," which aids in cervix dilation. The upright postures or positions have been employed in a variety of birth situations and are widely regarded as a potent, safe, and simple means of accelerating labor progress and improving maternal outcome. The current research aims at studying the using of the upright positions during the second stage of labor and their impact on maternal outcome in second gravida mothers.

The complexity of health sciences programmes justifies scaffolding to support students in becoming competent health professionals. The complexity of health sciences programmes justify scaffolding to support students in becoming competent health professionals. Health sciences programmes demands the students to integrate relevant knowledge, psychomotor skills, and attitudes during learning of patient care at various learning platforms. We argue that the complexity of health sciences (HS) programmes warrants various approaches to scaffolding to promote internalisation and automatization of knowledge .

Abstract:
The study was developed on the backdrop of understanding the rising cases of nursing fatigue and the resulting implications. First, existing literature demonstrates that nursing fatigue has wide reaching implications such as medical errors, risk to patients’ safety and health, as well as an impact on the nurses’ individual health. Based on these consequences, it was imperative to explore on the fatigue levels and as such formulate a basis for developing coping strategies. Although the subject has widely been evaluated in different jurisdictions, there exists a shortage of studies that specifically focus on the Middle East (Jordan), and which explore the impact of gender and culture on the fatigue levels. These were the strategic focus areas and existing situations that informed the study development.
