Sicca Symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease: Association with Other Nonmotor Symptoms and Health-Related Quality of Life by Tino Prell, Denise Schaller, Caroline Perner, Otto W. Witte, Julian Grosskreutz

“…The SAS total score was an independent predictor of the PDQ-39 summary index and mainly affected the PDQ-39 cognition and emotional well-being domains. Sicca symptoms were not associated with age, MDS-UPDRS III, disease duration, Hoehn and Yahr stage, and levodopa equivalent daily dose but aggravated the PDQ-39 domains: cognition, emotional well-being, bodily discomfort, and mobility. …”

Self-Care Practices and the Associated Socio-Demographic Variables of Persons with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2dm) in Southeast, Nigeria. by Okafor, Christiana Nkiru, Okonkwo, Uchenna Prosper, Ani, Kenneth Umezulike, Onuora, Ethel Ogoemeka, Nwokike, Mathew, Byabagambi, Jane Turyasingura, Tamu, JohnBosco Munezero, Mfitumukiza, Valence, Nwankwo, Mercy Chinenye, Tumusiime, Alex

“…Findings further showed that a good proportion (51.3% and 89.8%) of study participants had good self-care behavior in diet and medication domains respectively. Whereas the proportion of participants with poor self-care behavior was very high in foot care (75.1%) and fairly high in both self-blood sugar testing (37.7%) and exercise (37.2%) domains. …”

SMME readiness framework for smart manufacturing adoption using critical realism: Knowledge and construction phase by Lucas Gumbi, Hossana Twinomurinzi

“…Furthermore, the study revealed that a CoI is an enduring structure with generative powers in the real domain; SDDL, BMI and EO are causal mechanisms prevailing in the real domain when the generative powers of CoI are triggered or activated; and SMKC, SMRA, and SMC are the actions (preconditions) that are triggered in the empirical domain when causal mechanisms are activated. …”
