    Abstract: The diabetic patient is at significantly increased risk of developing vascular disease. Its aetiology may involve oxidative damage by free radicals and protection against such damage can be offered by radical-scavenging antioxidants. We investigated whether there was a relationship between glycaemic control as assessed by measurement of glycated haemoglobin (HbA lc ) and serum antioxidant status in a population of 118 diabetic outpatients with either insulin-dependent or non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Amongst patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus there was a significant inverse correlation between levels of glycated haemoglobin and total free radical scavenging activity ( r = −0·456, P 〈 0·0001). This association resulted primarily because of a similar correlation with uric acid ( r = −0·421, P = 0·0003). There was also a weak inverse correlation with vitamin A but no significant association with vitamin C or vitamin E levels. There were no significant associations found amongst the patients with insulin-dependent diabetes. These results indicate that poor diabetic control is associated with reduced serum free radical scavenging (antioxidant) activity in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. By implication improved glycaemic control may preserve serum antioxidant status in diabetes.

    Abstract: The purpose of this pilot feasibility project was to examine the potential effectiveness of a digital storytelling intervention designed through a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach for immigrants and refugees with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods The intervention was a 12-minute culturally and linguistically tailored video consisting of an introduction, 4 stories, and a concluding educational message. A structured interview was used to assess the intervention for acceptability, interest level, and usefulness among 25 participants with T2DM (15 Latino, 10 Somali) across 5 primary care clinical sites. After watching the video, participants rated their confidence and motivation about managing T2DM as a result of the intervention. Baseline A1C and follow-up values (up to 6 months) were abstracted from medical records. Results All participants reported that the intervention got their attention, was interesting, and was useful; 96% reported that they were more confident about managing their T2DM than before they watched the video, and 92% reported that the video motivated them to change a specific behavior related to T2DM self-management. The mean baseline A1C level for the intervention participants was 9.3% (78 mmol/mol). The change from baseline to first follow-up A1C level was −0.8% (−10 mmol/mol) ( P 〈 .05). Conclusions Implementation of a digital storytelling intervention for T2DM among immigrant populations in primary care settings is feasible and resulted in self-rated improvement in psychosocial constructs that are associated with healthy T2DM self-management behaviors, and there was some evidence of improvement in glycemic control. A large-scale efficacy trial of the intervention is warranted.

    In: Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, SAGE Publications, Vol. 76, No. 12 ( 1983-12), p. 1011-1014
    Abstract: A new physical sign is described in the feet of a group of diabetic patients with ulcerating neuropathic problems, in which major venous distension of the veins on the dorsum of the foot and lower calf is seen. Elevation of the leg is required to an average height of 32.3 cm to cause collapse of these distended veins. It is suggested that this clinical sign indicates the presence of arteriovenous shunting in such neuropathic legs, and as such is a simple and useful measure of this abnormality.

    Abstract: We used a multigroup propensity score approach to evaluate a randomized effectiveness trial of the New Beginnings Program (NBP), an intervention targeting divorced or separated families. Two features of effectiveness trials, high nonattendance rates and inclusion of an active control, make program effects harder to detect. To estimate program effects based on actual intervention participation, we created a synthetic inactive control comprised of nonattenders and assessed the impact of attending the NBP or active control relative to no intervention (inactive control). We estimated propensity scores using generalized boosted models and applied inverse probability of treatment weighting for the comparisons. Relative to the inactive control, NBP strengthened parenting quality as well as reduced child exposure to interparental conflict, parent psychological distress, and child internalizing problems. Some effects were moderated by parent gender, parent ethnicity, or child age. On the other hand, the effects of active versus inactive control were minimal for parenting and in the unexpected direction for child internalizing problems. Findings from the propensity score approach complement and enhance the interpretation of findings from the intention-to-treat approach.

    Abstract: Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in women, resulting in more deaths than breast, cervical and ovarian cancer combined. Screening for lung cancer has been shown to significantly reduce mortality, with some evidence that women may have a greater benefit. This study demonstrates that a population of women being screened for breast cancer may greatly benefit from screening for lung cancer. Methods Data from 18,040 women who were screened for breast cancer in 2015 at two imaging facilities that also performed lung screening were reviewed. A natural language-processing algorithm followed by a manual chart review identified women eligible for lung cancer screening by U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) criteria. A chart review of these eligible women was performed to determine subsequent enrollment in a lung screening program (2016–2019), current screening eligibility, cancer diagnoses and cancer-related outcomes. Results Natural language processing identified 685 women undergoing screening mammography who were also potentially eligible for lung screening based on age and smoking history. Manual chart review confirmed 251 were eligible under USPSTF criteria. By June 2019, 63 (25%) had enrolled in lung screening, of which three were diagnosed with screening-detected lung cancer resulting in zero deaths. Of 188 not screened, seven were diagnosed with lung cancer resulting in five deaths by study end. Four women received a diagnosis of breast cancer with no deaths. Conclusion Women screened for breast cancer are dying from lung cancer. We must capitalize on reducing barriers to improve screening for lung cancer among high-risk women.

    The Changing Nonlinear Relationship between Income and Terrorism

    Abstract: This article reinvestigates the relationship between real per capita gross domestic product (GDP) and terrorism. We devise a terrorism Lorenz curve to show that domestic and transnational terrorist attacks are each more concentrated in middle-income countries, thereby suggesting a nonlinear income–terrorism relationship. Moreover, this point of concentration shifted to lower income countries after the rising influence of the religious fundamentalist and nationalist/separatist terrorists in the early 1990s. For transnational terrorist attacks, this shift characterized not only the attack venue but also the perpetrators’ nationality. The article then uses nonlinear smooth transition regressions to establish the relationship between real per capita GDP and terrorism for eight alternative terrorism samples, accounting for venue, perpetrators’ nationality, terrorism type, and the period. Our nonlinear estimates are shown to be favored over estimates using linear or quadratic income determinants of terrorism. These nonlinear estimates are robust to additional controls.

    Abstract: Parent training and contingency contracting were experimentally applied as methods of intervention with three abusive mothers and their families. High-risk parent/child interactions and problem situations were assessed by means of a family interaction coding system in the home and served as the focus of intervention over ten sessions. A two-variable withdrawal design demonstrated that both treatment modes produced a stable reduction in high-risk interaction patterns over duration of the intervention period, which was maintained at three, eight, and twelve-month follow-ups for the separate families, although the relative contribution of each variable was not functionally demonstrated. The results of this study suggest that behavioral training methods with child abusers can substantially reduce the risk of recurring abuse by providing these parents with effective child management techniques. Furthermore, assessment of family interactions in abusive homes distinguished between an "abusive parent," an `abusive child," and an "abusive partnership." These three distinct patterns may have important theoretical and practical implications.

    On the Limits of Coping : Interaction between Stress and Coping for Inner-City Adolescents

    In: Journal of Adolescent Research, SAGE Publications, Vol. 16, No. 4 ( 2001-07), p. 372-395
    Abstract: This study examined the effects of four coping dimensions—active coping, avoidance, distraction, and support—on conduct problems, depression, and achievement in a multiethnic, inner-city sample of early adolescents. The main effects of coping were examined, along with stress X coping interactions. For girls, active coping interacted with family and community stress to predict conduct problems and grades, respectively, and with community stress to predict depression. These interactions revealed a classic stress-buffering effect for active coping. For boys, although active coping interacted with community and peer stress to predict depression and with community and family stress to predict grades, these findings did not support the stress-buffering effect. Although avoidant coping was positively associated with depression and poor grades at low levels of stress, it was associated with more adaptive functioning on these outcomes at higher levels of stress.

    Do Failed or Weak States Favor Resident Terrorist Groups’ Survival?
    SAGE Publications ; 2023
    In:  Journal of Conflict Resolution
    Details
    In: Journal of Conflict Resolution, SAGE Publications
    Abstract: Employing two alternative measures of state failure, we investigate how state weakness influences resident terrorist groups’ survival. Theoretically, state failure favors resident terrorist groups’ survival, while state territorial control fosters resident groups’ termination until some control threshold. Empirically, we uncover a robust negative relationship between a country’s weakness and its control of terrorism through the lens of the resident terrorist groups’ survival prospects. The discovered relationship withstands a host of robustness tests – e.g., alternative estimates and samples. We apply an instrument designed to address endogeneity concerns. In particular, our novel instrument for failed states consists of the interaction between natural disasters and ethnic fractionalization. As a state’s percentage of territorial control increases, resident terrorist groups are more prone to ending until some threshold control percent. Our analysis can guide counterterrorism policy by exploiting the nuanced theoretical determinants identified here that foster resident groups’ termination in failing states.
