“…A greater proportion of females were tested for HbA1c in the ‘pre-lockdown level’ (pre-pandemic stage), and this is expected as previous studies have shown the tendency for females to visit hospitals more than their male counterparts ( Figure 2A ) [ 17 - 19 ]. Gender stratification of results revealed that during the lockdown period, more females attended the clinics than their male counterparts, with the highest frequency being in the 60-69-year-old female age group.…”

Introduction coronavirus disease 2019 (SARS-CoV-2), a global pandemic, popularised the term “lockdown” due to its rapid spread around the world. “Lockdown” was used as an emergency measure to temporarily prevent people from entering or leaving their communities in an effort to reduce the spread of the virus. The effects of the “lockdown” measures on the management of chronic medical conditions in African populations have been inconsistent. This study aimed to assess the effects of the lockdown on glycaemic control in patients with diabetes. Methods retrospective study that examined metadata from 1 st January 2019 to 31 st December 2021, to assess the impact of the national SARS-CoV-2 response on the quantity and average level of haemoglobin A1c and random glucose in patients with diabetes at Dr. George Mukhari Academic Hospital. The data was retrieved from the National Health Laboratory Services corporate data warehouse. Results from 2019 to 2021, a total of 9,039 tests were performed, with females accounting for 63.21% (n = 5,714) and males for 36.08% (n = 3,261), while 0.7% (n = 70) did not have an assigned gender. Mean age was 49, with a standard deviation (SD) of 21.71. The testing rate (TR) in 2019 was 10.74 per day, 2020 had a TR of 6.07, and 2021 had a TR of 7.95. During the pandemic phase, all other age groups had TRs below 1.85, except the 50-59, 60-69, and 70+ year-old groups. Conclusion the study revealed that SARS-CoV-2 lockdown measures were linked to poor diabetes control in patients. As a result, the consequences of managing SARS-CoV-2 had a direct influence on diabetes management.

“…Moreover, girls reported slightly worse health than boys. This could be related to women's tendency to seek medical care more frequently than men, which might make it more likely for them to receive some health diagnosis (Petrie et al, 2022). In addition to this, Q-Sorters could have held different gender expectations for the male and female participants, impacting introspection scores.…”

Moderating Variables on the Relationship between Parent-Child Bonds and Mature Decentering

Developmental psychology aims to elucidate how children's early relationships influence their interactions with the world. Piaget's cognitive development theory is often noted when discussing development, and although his cognitive descriptions of decentering (i.e., perspective taking) were compelling, they neglected interpersonal contexts. Accordingly, Feffer conceptualized decentering within a social context. To expand on Feffer's consideration of the social context, the current study explored early parent-child bonds and their impact on child development, specifically interpersonal decentering, in adolescence. In the present secondary analysis of data from the Institute of Human Development longitudinal Guidance Study at the University of California, Berkeley, I hypothesized that, for both boys and girls, conflict with relatives and a parent's nervous instability would moderate the association between early strong parental bonds and more mature decentering at ages 12.5 and 18 years, and that more imaginative play, introspection, and better physical health would moderate the relationship between strong father-son bonds at age 21 months and the son's more mature decentering at age 12.5 and 18 years. The findings revealed that the association between strong father-son bonds at 21 months and the son's more mature decentering at age 12.5 was strongest when the son was less introspective compared to when the son was more introspective. When sons were in better health at ages 5-10 years and 11-17 years, their father-son bonds at age 21 months were more strongly related to more mature decentering at age 18 compared to sons who were in fair to poor health. The current study expands on the impact parental bonds, particularly paternal for sons, have on a child's social cognitive development.

ObjectiveTo analyse the association between Ankle-GO score during the return to sport process and the probability of becoming a coper 1 year after lateral ankle sprain (LAS). Copers were defined as patients returning to their preinjury sport without loss of function and reporting no episodes of reinjury or giving-way.MethodsTwo months after a LAS, patients performed the Ankle-GO assessment which includes a cluster of four functional tests and two self-reported questionnaires for a maximum score of 25 points. One year after injury, participants were classified as copers or non-copers. Eight potential predictive variables associated with coper status were compared between the groups. Receiver operating characteristic curves (area under the curve (AUC)) and multivariable logistic regression models with OR and 95% CIs were used to determine the association of potential factors, including the Ankle-GO score, with copers.Results64 patients (56% females; age 33.7±13.2 years) completed the Ankle-GO-GO at 2 months postinjury. At 1 year postinjury, 10 patients (15%) were lost to follow-up, and only 17 of 54 patients (31%) became copers. Two-month Ankle-GO score was higher among copers (9.9±4.9 points vs 6.9±3.7, p=0.015) and was associated with future coper status at 1 year (AUC=0.70). Patients with an Ankle-GO score above 11 points and male patients were more likely to become copers (OR=12.1; 95% CI 2.5 to 59, p=0.002 and OR=5.2; 95% CI 1.2 to 22.4, p=0.026, respectively).ConclusionThe Ankle-GO may help identify patients more likely to become copers within a year of injury. Those with low Ankle-GO scores and female patients should receive additional rehabilitation to increase the odds of becoming a coper.
