The population prevalence of solitary confinement

SummaryA cooperative study between the 37 centers of the French Hemophilia Study Group was undertaken to establish the prevalence of inhibitor patients in the French hemophilia population. The prevalence reported in the literature varies widely from 3.6% to 17.5%. Some of the studies are dealing with a small number of patients and inhibitor patients are reported either to the total number of hemophiliacs or to the severely affected ones. The French study provided information concerning 3,435 hemophiliacs and showed a prevalence of 6.2% for the overall population. Prevalence of inhibitors was found to be 7% in the population of hemophilia A patients and 12.8% in the population of severely affected ones. The prevalence of inhibitors in the population of hemophilia B patients was 2% and 4% in the population of severely affected hemophilia B patients. The cooperative study also showed that 47.5% of inhibitors are detected before 10 years of age and that 82% of inhibitor patients are high responders. Analysis of inhibitor detection in patients under the age often showed that there was a peak in the population of 2 years old children. Although not comparable to the present study the high incidence of inhibitors with ultrapurified and recombinant FVIII reported in previously untransfused patient may be borne in mind.

In The Body in Pain, Elaine Scarry analyzes the structure of torture as an unmaking of the world in which the tools that ought to support a person’s embodied capacities are used as weapons to break them down. The Security Housing Unit (SHU) of California’s Pelican Bay State Prison functions as a weaponized architecture of torture in precisely this sense; but in recent years, prisoners in the Pelican Bay Short Corridor have re-purposed this weaponized architecture as a tool for remaking the world through collective resistance. This resistance took the form of a hunger strike in which prisoners exposed themselves to the possibility of biological death in order to contest the social and civil death of solitary confinement. By collectively refusing food, and by articulating the meaning and motivation of this refusal in articles, interviews, artwork, and legal documents, prisoners reclaimed and expanded their perceptual, cognitive, and expressive capacities for world-making, even in a space of systematic torture.

Objective: India is the second country after China having the highest population prevalence of diabetes. Several research studies investigating diabetes have been done, but not much work has been done on prediabetes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of nutrition and lifestyle modification on prediabetic females. Methods: A total of 120 prediabetic females from Ludhiana city were divided into 2 matched groups: control group (n = 60) and experimental group (n = 60). Impact of nutrition intervention for dietary and lifestyle modification (for 3 months) was assessed on the anthropometric, dietary, biochemical parameters, and diabetes risk score of the experimental group and control group (no intervention). Results: All the selected 120 subjects completed the study (experimental group = 60; control group = 60). There was significant difference in the changes between the 2 groups throughout the study. The fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin A1c levels of the experimental group subjects reduced significantly ( P ≤ .01). However, no change was observed among the control group subjects. The lipid profile of the experimental group showed a significant improvement ( P ≤ .01). Conclusion: Nutrition counselling of the prediabetics regarding dietary and lifestyle modification is recommended so as to improve their metabolic control, thus preventing them from being diabetics.
