KNOWLEDGE AND SELF-CARE PRACTICES REGARDING DIABETES AMONG PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES IN RURAL SULLIA, KARNATAKA: A COMMUNITY-BASED, CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Introduction: Diabetes is a lifestyle disease which requires a multipronged approach for its management, wherein patient has an important role to play in terms of self-care practices, which can be taught to them by educational programs.To develop such an educational program, a baseline assessment of knowledge and self-care practices of patients, ne

Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the citrus pulp borer, Citripestis sagittiferella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), for the EU.This oligophagous species, which feeds on Citrus spp., occurs in Southeast Asia, mostly in lowlands but can also be found up to 1,200 m above sea level.Adults oviposit on citrus fruit at a

Abstract One key issue in the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of buildings is the influence of the soil on the dynamics of the system.The lack of accurate information on soil-structure interaction represents a source of significant uncertainty and generates difficulties in assessing the state of structural health.In this respect, satellite data

The aim of study was to determine the effects of exposure to the product DEZYNFEKTANT-CIP (Eng.- Disinfectant-CIP), which is formulated with peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide, on oxidative stress biomarkers (lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels and the carbonyl content of oxidatively modified proteins) and antioxidant defenses (superoxide dismutase (

Recent advances in single-cell technologies, particularly single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq), have permitted high throughput transcriptional profiling of a wide variety of biological systems.As scRNA-seq supports inference of cell-cell communication, this technology has and continues to anchor groundbreaking studies into the efficacy and mechan
