The nutritional value of non-traditional gluten-free flakes and their antioxidant activity

Nowadays, there is a growing interest for foods with a lower sugar content and rich in fiber and biologically active substances. The main purpose of this study was to prepare flakes from non-traditional pigmented cereals (Oryza sativa, Chenopodium quinoa, and Eragrostis tef ) and to analyze their fibre, sugar, and in vitro digestibility values. Regarding phenolic antioxidants (soluble, soluble conjugated, and insoluble bound fractions), their content and antioxidant activity were measured using spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods. Hydrothermally treated grains resulted in flakes with higher total dietary fibre contents (11.1–24.4%), quinoa and teff flakes were rich in maltose (up to 42.0 mg/g). Non-traditional flakes had lower in vitro digestibility, but conversely, they exhibited the highest phenolic contents corresponding with the highest antioxidant activity values (up to 2.33 mg Gallic acid equivalent/g of total phenolic content and 1.59 mg Trolox equivalent/g for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) in case of brown teff). Among free phenolics, the main contributors to an antioxidant activity were p-coumaric, o-coumaric, and gallic acids (r > 0.8186); among the soluble conjugated fractions, they were epigallocatechin, epicatechin, caffeic, and vanillic acids (r > 0.5935); while caffeic, protocatechuic, and ferulic acids (r > 0.5751) were the main contributors among the insoluble bound phenolics. © 2019 by the authors.

Diagnosis of comorbid migraine without aura in patients with idiopathic/genetic epilepsy based on the gray zone approach to the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 criteria

BackgroundMigraine without aura (MwoA) is a very frequent and remarkable comorbidity in patients with idiopathic/genetic epilepsy (I/GE). Frequently in clinical practice, diagnosis of MwoA may be challenging despite the guidance of current diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 (ICHD-3). In this study, we aimed to disclose the diagnostic gaps in the diagnosis of comorbid MwoA, using a zone concept, in patients with I/GEs with headaches who were diagnosed by an experienced headache expert.MethodsIn this multicenter study including 809 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of I/GE with or without headache, 163 patients who were diagnosed by an experienced headache expert as having a comorbid MwoA were reevaluated. Eligible patients were divided into three subgroups, namely, full diagnosis, zone I, and zone II according to their status of fulfilling the ICHD-3 criteria. A Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis was performed to bring out the meaningful predictors when evaluating patients with I/GEs for MwoA comorbidity, using the variables that were significant in the univariate analysis.ResultsLonger headache duration (<4 h) followed by throbbing pain, higher visual analog scale (VAS) scores, increase of pain by physical activity, nausea/vomiting, and photophobia and/or phonophobia are the main distinguishing clinical characteristics of comorbid MwoA in patients with I/GE, for being classified in the full diagnosis group. Despite being not a part of the main ICHD-3 criteria, the presence of associated symptoms mainly osmophobia and also vertigo/dizziness had the distinguishing capability of being classified into zone subgroups. The most common epilepsy syndromes fulfilling full diagnosis criteria (n = 62) in the CART analysis were 48.39% Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy followed by 25.81% epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures alone.ConclusionLonger headache duration, throbbing pain, increase of pain by physical activity, photophobia and/or phonophobia, presence of vertigo/dizziness, osmophobia, and higher VAS scores are the main supportive associated factors when applying the ICHD-3 criteria for the comorbid MwoA diagnosis in patients with I/GEs. Evaluating these characteristics could be helpful to close the diagnostic gaps in everyday clinical practice and fasten the diagnostic process of comorbid MwoA in patients with I/GEs

Yaşlılarda ilaç profilinin belirlenmesi ve farmasötik bakım ihtiyaçlarının saptanması

1. ÖZETYAŞLILARDA İLAÇ PROFİLİNİN BELİRLENMESİ ve FARMASÖTİK BAKIM İHTİYAÇLARININ SAPTANMASIYaşlılar, birçok hastalığın bir arada bulunması nedeniyle çok sayıda ilaç kullanmaktadırlar. 65 yaş ve üstü kişilerin %85’inde en az bir kronik hastalık, %30’unda ise 3 veya daha fazla kronik hastalık mevcuttur. Yaşlılarda en sık görülen hastalık hipertansiyon, en çok kullanılan ilaçlar da antihipertansiflerdir. Çalışmamız İstanbul Anadolu yakasında bulunan huzurevlerinde yaşayan 65 yaş ve üstü 160 hastada yapılmıştır. Amacımız yaşlıların ilaç kullanımı ile ilgili bilgilerini değerlendirmek, uygulanan ilaç tedavisinin uygunluğunu saptamak ve farmasötik bakım ihtiyaçlarının hangi doğrultuda olduğunu saptamaktı. Çalışmaya katılanlarla yüz yüze görüşülerek kullandıkları ilaçları, ilaçların kullanım sıklığı, kullanım amacı ve yan etkileri ile ilgili bilgileri, ilacın kimin tarafından önerildiğini bilip bilmediği sorgulanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılanların %81’inde polifarmasi saptanmıştır. Genel olarak ilaçların uygun doz ve zamanda verildiği; ancak hastaların %80’inin ilaçlarını hangi amaçla kullandıklarını bilmedikleri saptanmıştır. İlaç kullanan hastalardan sadece%1,4’ünün ilaçlarını kesinlikle almamaları gereken durumlardan haberdar oldukları görülmüştür. Yaşlılarda ilaç kaynaklı problem gelişmesi açısından riskli hasta grubu tanımlanmış ve risk haritası çıkarılmıştır. 4 ve daha fazla ilaç kullanan hastalar yüksek riskli kabul edilmişlerdir. Sonuç olarak; yaşlılarda fizyolojik, psikolojik değişimler ve polifarmasi nedeniyle ilaç etkisi değişmektedir. Yaşlılarda ilaç tedavisinin bireyselleştirilmesi ve izlenmesi gerekir. Çalışmamızda ülkemizdeki yaşlıların ilaç ile ilgili bilgilerinin olmadığı, bu konuda kendilerine eğitim verilmediği saptanmıştır. Farmasötik bakım ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasına, öncelikle bilgilendirme ile başlamak gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın ülkemizde hekim, eczacı, hemşire ve diğer sağlık personelinden oluşan geriatri çalışma ekiplerinin oluşturulmasına ve hasta odaklı eczacılık hizmetlerinin yaygınlaştırılmasına katkıda bulunacağına inanıyoruz.2. SUMMARYDETERMINATION OF GERIATRIC PATIENTS’ DRUG PROFILE AND IDENTIFY THEIR PHARMACEUTICAL CAREGeriatrics use numerous drugs because they have several concurrent diseases. 85% of those 65 years old and over have at least one chronic disease, 30% have 3 or more chronic diseases. The most frequently seen disease in geriatrics is hypertension, and therefore the most frequently used drugs are antihypertensives.One hundred and sixty patients 65 years old and over who live in a nursing home in the Anatolian part of Istanbul were included in our trial. Our aim was to evaluate data on the geriatrics’ drug usage, assess the appropriateness of their drug treatment and identify their pharmaceutical care requirements. By interviewing the patients included in the trial, individualized information was obtained regarding the drugs they used, the drug dose and frequency, the purpose of medication use and side effects, and who suggested/prescribed the drug. Polypharmacy was identified in 81% of those included in the study. Generally it was reckoned that the drugs were prescribed at an appropriate dosage and time; however 80% of the patients didn’t know what they were taking medicines for. Just 1.4% of the patients who were taking medicines were aware of the conditions under which they should never be administered. The patient group at risk of drug induced problems was defined and a risk map was developed. Patients having 4 or more risk factors were accepted as being in a high risk category. As a result drug effects alter due to polypharmacy, physiological and psychological changes. Drug treatment should be individualized and monitorized in geriatrics. Geriatrics in our opinion don’t have sufficient information about their drugs and they have never been educated in this matter. It is necessary to begin meeting their pharmaceutical care needs with education. We believe that this study will help bring together specialist geriatric teams consisting of physician, pharmacist, nurse and other health personel, and contribute to the development and spread of patient oriented pharmacy services

Metaphoric perceptions of individuals with diabetes in Turkey: A content analysis

Background: The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus adversely impacts the quality of life due to treatment, changes in daily life, functional disability, and emerging complications. Using metaphors to convey perceptions of diseases and life experiences is crucial for understanding healthcare behaviors. Objective: This study aimed to explore the metaphorical perceptions of “diabetes” and “being a person with diabetes” within a sample group of individuals with diabetes in Turkey. Methods: A qualitative design was employed to investigate the metaphoric perceptions of 72 people with diabetes. Data were collected face-to-face between 15 May and June 2023 using a semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: From the statements of the individuals with diabetes in the sample, seven metaphoric themes related to diabetes – “pain and distress, helplessness and hopelessness, instability, attention and sensitivity, captivity, positive outlook and acceptance, deprivation” – and six metaphoric themes concerning being a person with diabetes – “suffocation and distress, helplessness, powerlessness and disappointment, captivity, attention and sensitivity, guilt, and being worn out” - were identified. Commonly recurring sub-themes with negative connotations included “darkness, well, convict, prison, captivity, microbe, infectious disease, a hot flush, guilt, clouding life, and being ruined.” Some positively framed statements included “friend, traffic sign, and driving a car.” Conclusion: The majority of patients in the study used negative metaphors, with fewer expressing positive sentiments regarding the necessity of accepting and paying attention to the disease. Defining individuals’ metaphorical perceptions of their disease may enable the provision of better quality and holistic care. Nurses, in particular, play a crucial role in facilitating behavioral changes for patients with diabetes to achieve self-management.
