Influencing Factors of Retinopathy among the Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients – Binary Logistic Regression approach

Abstract This article investigates the inflection of the German indefinite pronouns jemand and niemand in the accusative and dative. The pronouns are used both with inflectional suffix (jemanden/jemandem, niemanden/niemandem) and without (jemand, niemand) and are thus an example of current variation in contemporary German. The grammars take an unusually liberal stance and describe both forms as correct, partially even with preference to the uninflected form. A corpus study which examines conceptually written data of the DeReKo (German reference corpus) and conceptually oral data of the DECOW16B (German web corpus), shows that over 90 % of occurrences are inflected. But almost 10 % of uninflected forms show that these formations are no arbitrary errors either. To find out what influences the presence or absence of the inflectional ending, a binary logistic regression model was calculated. The following factors proved to be significant influencing factors for inflection: the degree of formality (DeReKo vs. DECOW16B), the lexeme (jemand vs. niemand), the case (acc vs. dat), government by preposition vs. government by verb and the following nominalized adjective (jemand anderen). With regard to the different inflectional suffixes, the frequent use of -en in the dative stood out in particular. Although this form is classified as erroneous in all grammars, almost 30 % of the dative occurrences in informal DECOW16B data are formed in this way.

Abstract Background: Inflammatory cells play an important role in the occurrence and development of cancer. In recent years, the value of inflammatory cell count and its ratio in the diagnosis of prostate cancer has been controversial.Methods: A retrospective analysis of 475 patients with transrectal prostate puncture with TPSA>4 ng/ml in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University. Univariate analysis, multivariate analysis and Receiver Operating Characteristics curve analysis were performed to analysis the factor of age, TPSA, FPSA, PV, NC, LC, PC, NLR, PLR in the diagnosis value of prostate cancer, and further analysis the value of inflammatory cell count and its ratio in different TPSA groups of prostate cancer (4 ng/ml <TPSA ≤ 10 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml ＜TPSA ≤ 20 ng/ml, TPSA ＞ 20 ng/ml). Results: The results of Univariate analysis in the overall data showed that Age, TPSA, PV, NC, PLC were influencing factors in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) of NC was 56.2% with a sensitivity of 72.2% and specificity of 41.5% in the cut -off point of 4.52 (p = 0.021). The PLC cut-off point of 205.5 gives 55.6% AUC with 67.2% sensitivity and 4.2% specificity. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis results showed that Age, TPSA, PV, NC were independent influencing factors for the diagnosis of prostate cancer; In different TPSA group studies, it was found that NC, NLR, and PLR were valuable for the diagnosis of prostate cancer when TPSA>20 ng/ml，at the NC cut-off point of 4.52 with 67.3% AUC, 71.2% sensitivity and 62.5% specificity(p＜0.001), at the NLR cut-off point of 3.14 with 65.4% AUC, 67.2% sensitivity and 61.1% specificity (p＜0.001), and at the PLR cut-off point of 135.8 with 62.8% AUC , 57.6% sensitivity and 66.7% specificity (p＜0.001). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis results showed that when TPSA>20 ng/ml, the higher Age, TPSA , Low PV and NC are independent risk factors affecting the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Conclusion: NC has promising value in predicting prostate cancer, especially when TPSA>20 ng/ml. A further prospective study in validating its diagnostic value was needed.

Abstract Background and objectives: Hypertension is a major public health problem with raising its prevalence and effect among adults overtime worldwide, especially in Bangladesh. The aim is to investigate the effect of diabetes on hypertension.Materials and methods: The dataset used in this study was extracted from Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey, 2017-18 having a total of 6,965 (male: 3,376 and female: 3,589) adults whose ages were B35 years. Bivariate analysis along with Pearson’s chi-square test was executed to observe the association between different selected factors and hypertension. Additionally, binary logistic regression was employed to investigate the effect of diabetes on hypertension based on adjusted odds ratio (AOR) along with p-value in Bangladesh.Results: The results of the study revealed that average age of the participants was 51.04a12.731 and a total of 34.7 percent participants were identified as hypertension. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that diabetic patients were 1.280 times (95% CI of AOR: 1.107-1.479; p-value=0.001) higher risk of hypertension compared to non-diabetic. Furthermore, our finding’s also showed that diabetic patient who was 35–49 years age, 1.462 times (95% CI of AOR: 1.182-1.807; p-value=0.000) higher risk of hypertension compared to age groups ≥50 years.Conclusions: Based on the results, this study claimed that people with diabetes was significantly associated with hypertension. This study suggested greater attention of government and policymakers to make appropriate strategies to reduce hypertension as well as associated risk in Bangladesh.

Diabetic Population

Diabetic population were reported more likely to suffer carriage and infection with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) than non-diabetic population. We aim to elucidate the prevalence and characteristics of S. aureus and MRSA nasal carriage among diabetic population in the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2001–2004. Univariate analyses were conducted using Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact probability test or student t test, as appropriate. Multivariate analy¬sis using logistic regression was conducted to assess the association between influencing factors and S. aureus and MRSA nasal carriage. 1010 diabetic participants were included in the study. The prevalence of S. aureus and MRSA nasal carriage were 28.32% and 1.09%, respec¬tively. After the logistic regression, ever had a painful sensation or tingling in hands or feet past three months (Odds Ratio [OR] = 0.359, 95% Confidence Interval [CI], 0.146–0.882) was significant among S. aureus nasal carriage and gender (OR = 3.410, 95% CI, 1.091–10.653) was significant among MRSA nasal carriage. The proportions of staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) A, SEB, SEC, SED, Toxic-shock syn¬drome toxin-1, and Panton Valentine Leukocidin toxin among S. aureus strains were 18.75%, 3.13%, 12.50%, 15.63%, 28.13%, and 9.38%, respectively. 63.63% of MRSA strains were community-acquired, 27.27% were hospital-acquired, and 9.09% were non-typeable. Diabetic patients might be more likely to carry S. aureus and MRSA in the United States. Improving hand hygiene compliance, reducing antibiotic overuse, screening for carriers, and decolonization are recommended to reduce the spread of S. aureus and MRSA, especially in community.

Stress Influences

Objectives Visiting the veterinarian is generally perceived as a stressful situation for cats. Previous studies have shown that the perception of stress may influence cats’ healthcare. In order to minimise stress in cats during the veterinary consultation, feline-friendly handling has gained importance and is increasingly being used. The aim of this study was to find out whether cats experience stress during a visit to the veterinarian (and, if so, to what extent), and which factors influence the perception of stress and whether feline-friendly handling techniques have an impact. Methods An online survey was conducted among German cat owners. In total, 889 questionnaires were evaluated. The results were analysed with binary logistic regression and a χ² test. A principal component analysis was used to detect the main influencing factors on the perception of stress. Results Most of the cats (88.7%, n = 732/825) were perceived as stressed during a veterinary consultation, while only about half of the owners (50.8%, n = 419/824) stated that they felt stressed themselves. The cat owners (n = 819) who perceived visiting the veterinarian as a stressful situation also described their cat as stressed significantly more often compared with owners who did not feel stressed (χ² = 101.113, P <0.001). The probability that owners experienced stress themselves was significantly increased if they perceived their cat to be stressed too (odds ratio 0.073, 95% confidence interval 0.016–0.328). One factor that influenced whether an owner was stressed was the stress behaviour of their cat (P <0.001). Furthermore a feline-friendly demeanour by the veterinarian led to less stress in the owners (P <0.001). Conclusions and relevance The owner’s stress influences the perception of their cat’s stress. By adhering to feline-friendly handling guidelines, veterinarians can reduce owner stress associated with veterinary visits, thereby promoting optimal veterinary care and health for their feline patients.
