Prevalence of Diabetes among Adults and Risk Factors Associated With High Diabetes Prevalence in the United Arab Emirates: A Systematic Review
Abstract: Introduction: The widespread presence or prevalence of diabetes mellitus type 2 is increasing rapidly in the United Arab Emirates. An individual person with diabetes mellitus may get greater exposure for the complications in later life. It is known as the non-communicable modern epidemic which has become a global threat .The aim is to understand the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus type 2 and the effect of its risk factors among adults in the United Arab Emirates.
Research design and methodology: We searched four electronic databases such as Medline Complete, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and suggested literature from experts also assessed. The searching keywords are prevalence, epidemiology, diabetes mellitus type 2, risk factors, modifiable risk factors, non-modifiable risk factors, population at risk, UAE, United Arab Emirates. One hundred fifty six articles found after primary search and eight articles were selected for the final review.
Results: This research results revealed the prevalence varied in different parts of the UAE such as in the Northern Emirates (19.1%-25.1%), in Dubai (12.4%-14.7%) and (19.0%-19.3%) among adult residents and citizens, in Al Ain the (18.8%-40.7%) among residents. The factors such as aging >35 years among citizens and (41-60, 61 plus) among residents, obesity (BMI >30 for Arabs and Europeans and >27 for Asians), central obesity (>102 cm in men and >88 cm in women for Arabs and Europeans, > 90 cm in men and >80 cm in women for Asians), positive family history of diabetes mellitus type 2, ethnicity, suffering from dyslipidemia and hypertension, less physical activity, duration of staying in the UAE more than 10 years, unhealthy diet, being single (widow, separated, divorced) and stress were positively associated with high prevalence.
Conclusion: The results considered planning for early screening, intervention, health resources allocation to pursue specific approaches to reduce high prevalence.
Keywords: Diabetes mellitus type 2, epidemiology, prevalence, population at risk, risk factors, Systematic review, United Arab Emirates.

A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA METODOLOGIA DO PROFESSOR NO PROCESSO DE ENSINO - APRENDIZAGEM EM ALUNO COM TRANSTORNO DO ESPECTRO AUTISTA/ADULTO NO “ATELIER ESTRUTURADO” NA CIDADE DE JOÃO PESSOA/PARAÍBA: UM ESTUDO DE CASO.
Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la metodología (TEACCH) utilizado por los
maestros contribuye Atelier estructurado en la enseñanza y aprendizaje del
estudiante/ adulto con TEA-Trastorno del Espectro Autista, llevado a cabo desde
marzo 2013 a diciembre 2013. La metodología fue el enfoque cualitativo, del tipo
descriptivo, para la recolección de datos de la encuesta se utilizó la técnica de
observación de Atelier y la entrevista con el profesor y la madre del alumno autista.
En la discusión de los resultados las dificultades desarrolladas por el autismo de
aprendizaje son relevantes para todos, sin embargo, el método utilizado en el proceso ha contribuido de manera constructiva hacia la metodología utilisada por el
profesor, se señaló que "el diagnóstico tardío" de la portabilidad del Síndrome de
Asperger, es uno de los factores que interfieren con el aprendizaje ya que el retraso
para averiguar los efectos hay un tratamiento específico. Conclusión contribución
relevante fue el método TEACCH, a las actividades cotidianas, tales como la higiene
personal y la ayuda en la preparación de las comidas, incluso para adultos y
necesitan estas habilidades para ser cada vez más independiente
Hundreds of genetic barcodes of the species-rich hydroid superfamily Plumularioidea (Cnidaria, Medusozoa) provide a guide toward more reliable taxonomy
Marine hydroids are important benthic components of shallow and deep waters worldwide, but their taxonomy is controversial because diagnostic morphological characters to categorize taxa are limited. Their genetic relationships are also little investigated. We tested taxonomic hypotheses within the highly speciose superfamily Plumularioidea by integrating a classical morphological approach with DNA barcoding of the 16S and COI mitochondrial markers for 659 and 196 specimens of Plumularioidea, respectively. Adding Genbank sequences, we inferred systematic relationships among 1,114 plumularioids, corresponding to 123 nominal species and 17 novel morphospecies in five families of Plumularioidea. We found considerable inconsistencies in the systematics of nominal families, genera and species. The families Kirchenpaueriidae and Plumulariidae were polyphyletic and the Halopterididae paraphyletic. Most genera of Plumularioidea are not monophyletic. Species diversity is considerably underestimated. Within our study, at least 10% of the morphologically-distinctive morphospecies are undescribed, and about 40% of the overall species richness is represented by cryptic species. Convergent evolution and morphological plasticity therefore blur systematic relationships. Additionally, cryptic taxa occur frequently in sympatry or parapatry, complicating correspondence with type material of described species. Sometimes conspecificity of different morphotypes was found. The taxonomy of hydroids requires continued comprehensive revision.This work relied on several hydrozoan samples collected from various sites, with the aid of many people.

Internações por diabetes mellitus nas Regiões e Unidades Federativas do Brasil: tendência temporal entre 2011 e 2019.
Objetivo: Analisar a tendência temporal das internações ocorridas no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), nas Regiões e Unidades Federativas no Brasil, com o diagnóstico principal de diabetes mellitus (DM), entre 2011 e 2019. Método: Estudo ecológico com análise de séries temporais dos dados secundários provenientes do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), referentes a população brasileira. Foram incluídas os residentes no Brasil que foram internados por DM (CID10 - E10 ao E14). A tendência temporal foi analisada por regressão linear generalizada de Prais-Winstern, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: De 2011 a 2019, foram registradas 1.239.574 de internações por motivo de Diabetes mellitus no Brasil, representando 1,2% do número de internações por todas as afecções de saúde (103.051.010) para o período no país. A Taxa de Internações (TI) por DM no SUS foi de 6,77/10 mil habitantes com tendência decrescente (IC95%=6,44-7,10; valor p=0,01; r²=0,97; CoefB= -0,13). A TI por Região (Gráfico 1) foi maior nas Regiões Nordeste (TI=7,97; valor p=0,01; r²=0,64; CoefB= -0,15) e Sul (TI=7,60; valor p=0,01; r²=0,76; CoefB= -0,41). A tendência da TI apresentou-se decrescente para a maioria das Regiões, sendo estacionária na Região Norte (valor p=0,80). A TI por Unidade Federativa (UF), nos estados do Piauí e Maranhão, na Região Nordeste, e Rondônia e Roraima, na Região Norte foram acima de 10,00/10mil habitantes, com tendência crescente no Maranhão (TI=11,83; valor pConclusão: A tendência temporal foi decrescente, com diferenças segundo Região/UF
