To develop a diabetes education model based on individual beliefs, knowledge and risk awareness, aimed at migrants with type 2 diabetes, living in Sweden. Type 2 diabetes is rapidly increasing globally, particularly affecting migrants living in developed countries. There is ongoing debate about what kind of teaching method gives the best result, but few studies have evaluated different methods for teaching migrants. Previous studies lack a theoretical base and do not proceed from the individuals' own beliefs about health and illness, underpinned by their knowledge, guiding their health-related behaviour. A diabetes education model was developed to increase knowledge about diabetes and to influence self-care among migrants with type 2 diabetes. The model was based on literature review, on results from a previous study investigating knowledge about diabetes, on experience from studies of beliefs about health and illness, and on collaboration between researchers in diabetes care and migration and health anThis is a culturally appropriate diabetes education model proceeding from individual beliefs about health and illness and knowledge, conducted in focus-group discussions in five sessions, led by a diabetes specialist nurse in collaboration with a multi-professional team, and completed within three months. The focus groups should include 4-5 persons and last for about 90 min, in the presence of an interpreter. A thematic interview guide should be used, with broad open-ended questions and descriptions of critical situations/health problems. Discussions of individual beliefs based on knowledge are encouraged. When needed, healthcare staff present at the session answer questions, add information and ensure that basic principles for diabetes care are covered. The diabetes education model is tailored to both individual and cultural aspects and can improve knowledge about type 2 diabetes, among migrants and thus increase self-care behaviour and improve health. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disease with plasma total cholesterol especially low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol elevation. In this study, we aimed to examine the changes in the electrocardiographies of children with familial hypercholesterolemia. Electrocardiography of 85 patients with a diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia, followed up from the Pediatric Metabolism and Pediatric Cardiology outpatient clinic was examined. Electrocardiography of 83 children from the control group who did not have hypercholesterolemia in a similar gender and age range were examined. Heart rate, P wave, PR interval, P wave dispersion, QRS wave, QT interval, corrected QT (calculated with Bazett formula), Tpeak-end interval, QT dispersion, corrected QT dispersion, JT interval, corrected JT (calculated with Bazett formula) were statistically compared. P wave, PR interval, and P wave dispersion values were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the children with familial hypercholesterolemia. Corrected QT,cular arrhythmia. selleck inhibitor The findings suggest that total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol variability can be used as a new marker for the risk of cardiac arrhythmia. In this case, decreasing total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol variability below certain thresholds may decrease the risk of cardiac arrhythmia.The morphological and histological structures of the digestive tracts of adult males and females of Capnodis tenebrionis (L. 1758) are described using stereo microscopy, light microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. C. tenebrionis is an economically important species and not previously studied. The digestive tract of C. tenebrionis is morphologically and histologically divided into three main parts, including foregut, midgut, and hindgut. The foregut begins at the mouth followed by the short pharynx and esophagus, crop and proventriculus. Histologically, the foregut showed outer circular and inner longitudinal muscle layers followed by a basement membrane and epithelium. The innermost layer is intima. The inner surface of the crop shows several spine-like structures. There are clustered teeth on the inner surface of the proventriculus. The midgut consists of outer muscularis and inner columnar epithelium with a peritrophic membrane surrounding gut content. The outer surface of the midgut is covered with regularly spaced rounded structures called regenerative crypts. The Malpighian tubule shows a single layer of cuboidal epithelium. The hindgut, the last part of the digestive system, initiates with pylorus followed by ileum, colon, and rectum and ends exteriorly with the anus. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effects of education on complex congenital heart diseases using patient-specific three-dimensional printed heart models. Three-dimensional printed heart models were created using computed tomography data obtained from 11 patients with complex congenital heart disease. Fourteen kinds of heart models, encompassing nine kinds of complex congenital heart disease were printed. Using these models, a series of educational hands-on seminars, led by an experienced paediatric cardiac surgeon and a paediatric cardiologist, were conducted for medical personnel who were involved in the care of congenital heart disease patients. Contents of the seminars included anatomy, three-dimensional structure, pathophysiology, and surgery for each diagnosis. Likert-type (10-point scale) questionnaires were used before and after each seminar to evaluate the effects of education. Between November 2019 and June 2020, a total of 16 sessions of hands-on seminar were conmplex congenital heart disease.Within a medical home, primary care providers can identify needs, provide services, and coordinate care for children with heart conditions. Using parent-reported data from the 2016-2017 National Survey of Children's Health, we examined receipt of preventive care in the last 12 months and having a medical home (care that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family-centred, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective) among US children aged 0-17 years with and without heart conditions. Using the marginal predictions approach to multivariable logistic regression, we examined associations between presence of a heart condition and receipt of preventive care and having a medical home. Among children with heart conditions, we evaluated associations between sociodemographic and health characteristics and receipt of preventive care and having a medical home. Of the 66,971 children included, 2.2% had heart conditions. Receipt of preventive care was reported for more children with heart conditions (91.0%) than without (82.
