This common medication could save half a million children's lives each year. So why is it underprescribed? . Health care providers in developing countries know that oral rehydration salts (ORS) are a lifesaving and inexpensive treatment for diarrheal disease, a leading cause of death for children worldwide -- yet few prescribe it. A new study suggests that closing the knowledge gap between what treatments health care providers think patients want and what treatments patients really want could help save half a million lives a year and reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics. #ScienceDailynews #InnovativeResearch #NextGenScience #ExploringFrontiers

"Health-related QoL in people with different diabetes-related foot ulcer (DFU) health states" This study aimed to estimate and compare the HRQoL using the EQ-5D-5L instrument in people with DFU in five different DFU health states: healed, non-infected, infected, hospitalised and amputated. This might sounds a bit too clinically specific to many readers in my not so wide network - but what is important is that, as far as the authors are aware, this is the first study to compare the HRQoL of people with DFU in five important DFU health states and the first to use the EQ-5D-5L instrument. The findings of this study confirm that those with any DFU health state have considerably reduced HRQoL. What the findings also do is enable the calculation of QALY in future economic evaluations. https://lnkd.in/guQefRDi

The diabetes crisis in San Antonio's Latino communities, reported by The New York Times, underscores the critical need for a holistic approach to health. Communities need to have access to affordable quality health care and it’s also critical that we shift the health system to address foundational non-medical drivers of health  – including nutrition – that play a huge role in preventing chronic illnesses, including #diabetes. To build a healthier future for all Texans, we must improve access to medical care while at the same time work to target non-medical drivers of health. This approach fosters #HealthNotJustHealthCare and promotes equity for communities.  #SDOH #NMDOH #diabetesprevention https://lnkd.in/gf8xUmsm

Our healthcare system needs an overhaul to better manage people living with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Aligning with RACP recommendations, the Diabetes Inquiry has now recommended that the Australian Government expands access to bariatric surgeries, pharmacotherapies, glucose monitoring, multidisciplinary ambulatory care, and MBS-funded multidisciplinary coordinated care for people with obesity and diabetes. Australia was ranked 10th out of 21 OECD countries for the proportion of people aged 15 and over who were living with obesity or being overweight in 2022. “The implementation of these recommendations will be transformative for people living with diabetes and obesity” says RACP President, Professor Jennifer Martin. These recommendations must be adopted to help the many Australians living with obesity and diabetes.
