Evaluation of foot self-care status and foot screening problems in patients with diabetes in Iran: a national multicenter study
Abstract Background and purpose The lack of timely foot care among individuals with diabetics often lead to ulceration followed by infection and amputation. This study aimed to evaluate the foot self-care status and foot screening practices among patients with type 2 diabetes in various cities across Iran. Methods The cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on patients with type 2 diabetes in 10 main cities of Iran. The information about demographic and lifestyle factors, diabetes history, and diabetic foot self-care (DFSQ) was assessed. Additionally, the neurological and vascular condition of the foot were screened by Inlow’s 60-Second Screen. Results The study included 1094 diabetic patients with, with a majority being female (64.8%) and married (92.5%). The average age of the participants was 57.6 ± 10.21 (mean ± SD), and the mean duration of diabetes was 11.56 ± 7.41 years. Based on Inlow’s 60-Second Screen criteria, 58% of the patients should undergo yearly foot ulcer screening, 47% exhibited peripheral neuropathy, and 37% were found to have inappropriate footwear. Conclusion The high prevalence of peripheral neuropathy observed in approximately half of the participants across different regions of Iran underscores the importance of continuous patient education regarding foot care and appropriate footwear. Furthermore, regular foot ulcer screenings, following the recommended intervals outlined in Inlow’s screening protocol, should be implemented to effectively manage diabetic foot complications

O mundo muçulmano em uma era global: a proteção dos direitos das mulheres The muslim world in a global age: protecting women's ights
As mulheres muçulmanas enfrentam, simultaneamente, trĂŞs desafios. Em primeiro lugar, elas representam uma identidade islâmica que, com freqĂĽĂŞncia, está em conflito com regimes polĂticos modernos e com as elites dos Estados. Em segundo lugar, elas devem lutar contra os fundamentalistas islâmicos, cujas idĂ©ias, instituições e objetivos sĂŁo por elas rejeitados com veemĂŞncia. Por fim, e tĂŁo importante quanto os outros desafios, elas enfrentam no dia-a-dia a cultura patriarcal dominante nos lugares onde vivem. As questões relacionadas aos direitos das mulheres sĂŁo agravadas pelas dificuldades que as mulheres muçulmanas encontram em uma cultura patriarcal na qual a mulher Ă© geralmente caracterizada por estereĂłtipos. Se, por um lado, a "solidariedade sem fronteiras" possibilitou a promoção de direitos das mulheres dentro e atravĂ©s das culturas, por outro, ela tambĂ©m se depara com questões sociais mais amplas e mais complexas. Embora essa solidariedade global sofra resistĂŞncia em muitas partes do mundo muçulmano, o empowerment das mulheres Ă© visto como o antĂdoto mais eficaz contra o extremismo no mundo muçulmano. Este trabalho pretende contextualizar a análise de gĂŞnero nos âmbitos cultural, econĂ´mico e polĂtico, de modo a lidar com trĂŞs questões: (1) por que as mulheres muçulmanas se tornaram agentes de mudança, reforma e democratização no mundo globalizado? (2) qual o impacto da globalização sobre as mulheres muçulmanas e sobre a ascensĂŁo do feminismo islâmico? (3) de que maneira as mulheres muçulmanas podem respeitar a integridade de sua cultura, ao mesmo tempo que se mantĂŞm receptivas a valores, idĂ©ias e instituições universais?<br>Muslim women encounter three fronts simultaneously. First, they represent an Islamic identity that more often than not is in conflict with modern political regimes and state elites. Secondly, they must fight against Islamic fundamentalists, whose ideas, institutions, and goals they vehemently reject. And finally, and just as importantly, they face a mundane confrontation with a prevailing patriarchal culture within which they live. Questions of women's rights are exacerbated by difficulties Muslim women encounter in a patriarchal culture in which women are often characterized by stereotypes. The "borderless solidarity" has led to the promotion of women's rights across and within cultures, but it stands in a problematic relationship to broader, more complex social issues. Although this global solidarity is resisted in many parts of the Muslim world, women's empowerment is seen as the most effective antidote to extremism in the Muslim world. This paper attempts to contextualize gender analysis in the cultural, economic, and political domains, while addressing three questions: (1) why have Muslim women become the agents of change, reform, and democratization in a globalizing world? (2) what impact has globalization on Muslim women and the rise of Islamic feminism? (3) how could Muslim women maintain the integrity of their culture while at the same time remain receptive to universal values, ideas, and institutions
