    Abstract Purpose: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) are effective therapies in lowering glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA
    Methods: Using recent published literature, along with clinical experience, it has become apparent that many GLP1-RAs have become difficult to obtain for patients with diabetes.
    Findings: Many clinicians started to prescribe the brand Ozempic® (semaglutide*) and dulaglutide for weight loss despite neither of them being Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for this indication. Ozempic, having outperformed dulaglutide in in both HbA
    Implications: Insurance coverage for weight management remains sparse, and obtaining these therapies for diabetes has now become more burdensome, with insurance companies requiring a prior authorization proving FDA-approved diagnosis of T2DM. Hopefully, should more GLP1-Ras receive approval for weight loss, along with an increase in insurance coverage, the burden on patients with diabetes will be lessened as they are able to quickly obtain this highly effective therapy.

  7. Article ; Online: Using person-centred approaches to improve access to comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation.

    Abstract Cardiac rehabilitation has significant benefits for patients with cardiovascular disease in terms of physical health and psychosocial well-being. Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation programmes comprise graduated exercise, health education, psychological support, advice on preventive medicines, and stress management. However, service provision in the UK is inconsistent. Not all eligible patients are referred to cardiac rehabilitation programmes, and there are inequities in patient access linked to socio-economic status, gender, ethnic background, mental health issues, age and frailty. A person-centred approach would improve equity of access to cardiac rehabilitation programmes and ensure that all patients receive a programme of cardiac rehabilitation that is tailored to their needs and preferences. This article outlines the core components of a cardiac rehabilitation programme, discusses inequities in patient access, and suggests person-centred approaches that nurses can use in cardiac rehabilitation and other healthcare settings.

    Abstract Neck of femur fracture is a common consequence of falls in the elderly with a large burden of morbidity and mortality. Derangement in liver function tests (LFTs) is frequently seen in elderly people with neck of femur (NOF) fracture in the peri-operative period and can indicate serious and treatable underlying pathology as well as prognosis.On admission, raised alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels with normal gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) suggest underlying bone pathology such as osteomalacia or Paget's disease but do not confirm or exclude osteoporosis. ALP can also be raised by non-bone pathology such as congestive cardiac failure and chronic kidney disease. LFT derangement in cardiac failure is associated with poorer prognosis. Post-operatively, ALP levels rise after the first week with a peak at 3-4 weeks and then fall thereafter. The rate at which they fall may help indicate bone healing in trochanteric fractures. Derangement in other LFTs is commonly due to hepatic injury; causes include trauma, alcohol, and viral hepatitis. There are also iatrogenic causes including surgery and commonly prescribed medication such as beta-lactam antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, and paracetamol.The differential diagnosis for deranged LFTs in the elderly peri-operatively is wide; however, most causes can be elicited through careful history and examination with occasional need for further investigations.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of initiating use of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) in patients being treated for type 2 diabetes mellitus, specifically those who face barriers to obtaining this device because of its cost.
    Methods: This retrospective medical record review compared diabetes control of patients before and after use of a CGM device within a single primary care office. Patient medical records were reviewed 18 months after initial CGM was provided, and only those who received a CGM directly from the clinic were included in the review. Statistical analysis comparing the difference in mean baseline glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA
    Findings: A total of 41 patients who obtained at least 1 CGM reader and a minimum of a 30-day supply of sensors from the clinic were included in the review. The primary outcome resulted in a significant reduction in the mean (SD) first HbA
    Implications: The results of this study suggest that the use of CGM in the underserved population can lead to a significant improvement in glycemic control in patients with diabetes, regardless of treatment therapies used. Involving a multidisciplinary team in diabetes management, including clinical pharmacists, may further improve outcomes. Access to these devices in the underserved population may be crucial in reducing the risk of developing complications related to uncontrolled diabetes.

    Abstract A fast emerging area of public health interest is the potential role of social media influencers in spreading health information and affecting health behaviour. The aim of this research was to systematically synthesise evidence on the impact of social media influencers on health outcomes. A systematic search of six databases (Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Science Citation Index and Sociology Collection) was conducted in October 2021, with an update search in January 2023. Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts. We included interventional study designs which examined the effect of social media influencer as the primary or only exposure on a quantified health outcome. We used narrative synthesis to summarise the characteristics and main findings of studies within each of four main topic areas. We assessed quality using a critical appraisal checklist for quasi-experimental studies. We identified twelve studies across four areas that met the inclusion criteria: children's dietary behaviour (n = 5), body image dissatisfaction (n = 4), influenza and COVID-19 (n = 2), and social comparison and anxiety (n = 1). Influencer marketing of unhealthy foods had a statistically significant effect on increasing children's immediate energy intake, but no effect was found for influencer promotion of vegetables. When an unhealthy food is marketed by an influencer of unhealthy appearance, this led to an increased preference for healthy snacks. Exposure to idealised influencer body imagery had statistically significant negative impacts on body image and mood. Anxiety caused by viewing idealised portrayals of motherhood was the same whether or not the portrayal was by an influencer. Public health campaigns harnessing influencers to promote hygiene habits in the context of COVID-19 and influenza showed some positive changes in health behaviours. Most of the published studies are of poor methodological quality with poor generalisability and statistical weaknesses. We conclude that social media influencers have both negative and positive impacts on health outcomes, with negative impacts seen consistently in studies of body image dissatisfaction. Further research is needed to harness the potential positive health impact of social media influencers, while mitigating against harmful effects.
