Clinical Characteristics and Controllable Risk Factors of Osteoporosis in Elderly Men with Diabetes Mellitus

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics and controllable risk factors of osteoporosis in elderly men with type‐2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsA total of 250 elderly OP patients with T2DM were included in the present study. Patients with one or more common chronic diseases (including hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, chronic bronchitis, chronic nephrosis, and cirrhosis), and a course of more than 3 years were defined as complicated with chronic diseases. Blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, low‐density lipoprotein, high‐density lipoprotein, calcium, phosphorus, glycosylated hemoglobin, urea nitrogen, creatinine, fasting insulin, liver function, and 25‐hydroxy vitamin D3 levels were measured. Bone mineral density was also measured.ResultsA total of 16 patients (6.4%) had severe osteoporosis. Furthermore, 66 patients (26.4%) had blood glucose control that reached the standard, while 176 patients (70.4%) used more than two anti‐diabetic drugs. The serum testosterone level was lower than the median in 87 patients (34.8%) and in 56 smokers (22.4%). Furthermore, 138 patients (55.2%) were overweight and obese, six patients (2.4%) were underweight, 197 patients (78.8%) had chronic diseases, 88 patients (35.2%) were sticking to exercise, and 117 patients (46.8%) had less exercise. In addition, 92 patients (36.8%) were treated with osteotrophy‐protective agents, and 24 patients (9.6%) received anti‐osteoporosis therapy. Smoking, poor glycemic control, low testosterone levels, less exercise, and complications with chronic diseases were the most relevant controllable risk factors.ConclusionFor elderly male osteoporosis patients with type‐2 diabetes, smoking cessation, blood sugar control up to the standard, regular exercise, active prevention and treatment of complications, and appropriate testosterone supplementation are necessary for preventing and curing osteoporosis.

To what extent do community characteristics drive health facility delivery? Findings among Women who had recent live births in Nigeria

Existing studies have established several individual drivers of health facility delivery in many developing countries. However, the community characteristics that drive health facility delivery have been less studied across developing countries. This study thus examines the extent to which community characteristics drives health facility delivery among women who had recent live births in Nigeria based on data from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). A weighted sample size of 7,342 women was analysed. The outcome variable was health facility delivery. The explanatory variables were selected individual and community characteristics. Results show 39.7% prevalence of health facility delivery among the women. Findings further reveals that the community characteristics have significant effects on the variations in health facility delivery across the communities. Community characteristics significantly drive health facility delivery in Nigeria. More community-based priority actions are required to improve demand for health facility delivery in the country.     

2008—2018年济南市饮用水健康风险时空特征研究

目的 为掌握济南市饮用水水质卫生状况,识别可能存在健康风险的有害物质,为今后安全供水提供技术依据。方法 收集济南市2008—2018年生活饮用水监测数据,利用美国环保署风险评估四步法,分析健康风险时间、空间分布情况。结果 氟化物、硝酸盐氮少量水样非致癌风险超过1.0,农村水样风险高于城市。砷、铅检出较少,但检出限高于风险限,可能存在未分辨风险。三氯甲烷城市水样每年有12.5%或25%的比例致癌风险超过10-6,农村水样只在2017年有5%超过10-6。结论 济南市2008—2018年饮用水健康风险整体较低。但砷检出限较高,目前检测技术难以定量分辨砷致癌风险。需开展持续监测和定期评估,及时发现潜在问题。需要增加农村自来水饮用宣传,消除地方性饮水型高氟。

Natural frequency/damping coefficient relationship of the catheter-manometer system required for high-fidelity measurement of the pulmonary arterial pressure

Using a digital simulation method, we analyzed the relationship between natural frequency (f _n ) and damping coefficient () of the catheter-manometer system required for high-fidelity measurement of the pulmonary arterial pressure. The pulmonary artery pressure waveform was obtained with a catheter-tip transducer and it was fed into a dynamic simulator programmed on a computer. The original waveform and the output of the simulator were compared and judged visually for the fidelity. From this analysis, the combination of f _n and was obtained and was plotted on a f _n – diagram. It showed as an area, which was convex on the left side and open on the right side. The left-convex endpoint was located at a damping coefficient of about 0.7. At a lower heart rate, this area was extended to the lower frequency side, while, at a higher heart rate, this area was limited to the higher frequency side. The f _n – diagram was also constructed theoretically by calculating the relations between natural frequencies and damping coefficients of a second order system with the amplitude and phase error tolerance set at +/–5% respectively.(Kinefuchi Y, Suzuki T, Takiguchi M, et al.: Natural frequency/Damping coefficient relationship of the catheter-manometer system required for high-fidelity measurement of the pulmonary arterial pressure.
