/Aim Various reports of the occurrence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in patients with COVID-19 have been published, denoting an association between both diseases. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review to summarize the prevalence of T1DM in COVID-19 patients and to identify the clinical presentations and outcomes in this patient population.
 
  Up to 10/27/2020, Medline, Embase, cochrane and google scholar databases were searched for original studies investigating the association between COVID-19 and T1DM. A manual search was conducted to identify missing studies. The quality of included studies was analyzed by the National Institute of Health (NIH) risk of bias tool. Outcomes included length of hospital stay, hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), severe hypoglycemia, and death.
 
  Fifteen studies were included in the qualitative analysis. Included studies reported data of both adult and pediatric patients. The prevalence of T1DM in COVID-19 patients ra vomiting, elevated blood glucose and diabetic ketoacidosis. The outcomes of COVID-19 in terms of length of hospital stay, hospitalization, ICU admission, DKA rate, and severe hypoglycemia were reported variably in included studies.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/trastuzumab.html  Due to the heterogeneous study populations and the presence of many limitations, more studies are still warranted to reach a definitive conclusion.
  Diabetes mellitus has been known as one of the most significant systemic diseases with severe consequences and challenges to human health.
 
  The primary aim of the current paper was to review the diabetes prevention programs in the Middle East countries, and secondary compare their goals and success rate and conclude possible upcoming strategies.
 
  All reports and documents regarding to diabetes prevention and control programs in the region were collected by searching Web of Science, PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Scopus and EMBASE for articles up to 2020. The health policy triangle framework was used to analyze diabetes policies and programs. In the Middle East, a shift from rural to urban life, socioeconomic development, sedentary lifestyles, and high fat and sugary foods consumption led to increasing in obesity and diabetes rate, which have become a real challenge.
 
  To decrease the burden of diabetes, preventive strategies with proper local socio-cultural context are needed. Evaluation of current policies and identifying stakeholders' views can help to improve the current strategies for the prevalence of diabetes and its complications.
 
  It can provide local and global insight to evidence-informed decision-making for future policy reforms to enhance effectiveness of the program.

  Birthing outcomes in New Zealand are demonstrably inequitable based on governmental reports and research. However, the last Ministry of Health maternal satisfaction survey in 2014 indicated that 77% of women were satisfied or very satisfied with care. This study used data from the maternal satisfaction survey to examine aspects of inequity in reported satisfaction with care.
 
  Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to infer latent variables of satisfaction with equity domains from responses to the satisfaction survey. Additional data (residential location and deprivation score), not used in the Ministry of Health primary analysis, were provided and included in this modelling.
 
  SEM showed that satisfaction was not equitably distributed. Younger women, those from areas of high socio-economic deprivation, and remote rural women were most likely to be affected by dissatisfaction associated with physical access, cultural care, information provided, and/or barriers to equity associated with additional costs (all p<0.05). Financial burden of additional costs was also unevenly distributed.
 
  While these findings are congruent with other research on the association between social determinants and maternal satisfaction, it is concerning that they remain sources of inequity in New Zealand twenty years after they were first identified as priorities to address. On the basis of this study, urgent attention needs to be paid to removing sources of inequity within the health system and maternity care in particular.

  To determine prevalence and characteristics of mesiotemporal diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) lesions in transient global amnesia (TGA), and to determine prevalence of "missed" DWI lesions on routine radiological reporting.
 
  This is a retrospective study of patients with TGA admitted to a tertiary care hospital over ten years. Patients with TGA, who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain within one week of index event, were included in this study. MRI's were reviewed by two independent raters. Clinical data and other investigations were collated.
 
  Of the 55 patients of TGA, 19 (35 %) had hyperintense DWI lesions with concordant apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) hypointensity in the mesiotemporal region. Fifteen out of 19 (79 %) had unilateral lesions (6 left, 9 right). Twelve out of 19 DWI lesions were reported at the time of index scan. The false negative reporting rate was 36.8 %. DWI slice thickness (5 mm versus 3 mm), MRI machine strength (1.5 versus 3 T) and time interval from symptom onset to MRI brain (>24 h versus ≤ 24 h) were not significantly different between patients with or without DWI lesions and as well between patients with DWI lesions missed and initially reported at the time of index scan.
 
  Punctuate DWI mesiotemporal lesions in TGA are prone to under-reporting. These lesions need to be categorically searched for at the time of reporting MRI Brain.
