Telemedicine in the treatment of gestational diabetes: An observational cohort study on pregnancy outcomes and maternal satisfaction
No full textAims: Gestational diabetes treatment requires several outpatient consultations from diagnosis until delivery in order to prevent hyperglycaemia, which is associated with maternal and fetal complications. There is limited evidence in the literature about telemedicine superiority in improving pregnancy outcomes for women with gestational diabetes. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate maternal and fetal outcomes, while the secondary aim was to estimate the degree of satisfaction with gestational diabetes treatment, comparing telemedicine versus outpatient care.
Methods: This observational cohort study involved 60 consecutive women with gestational diabetes treated at the Diabetology Unit of Ferrara: 27 were followed up through a weekly remote control method (telemedicine group) and 33 in ambulatory clinics every 2 or 3weeks (conventional group). After giving birth, 56 women responded to the modified Oxford Maternity Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire to assess their satisfaction with diabetes care.
Results: No statistically significant differences were found in most of the maternal and neonatal parameters evaluated in both groups. The questionnaire scores were positive in all areas investigated. Telemedicine follow-up made women feel more controlled (p=0.045) and fit better with their lifestyle (p=0.005). It also emerged that almost all women treated with telemedicine would recommend this method to a relative or a friend.
Conclusions: Telemedicine follow-up proved to be safe both in terms of meta-
bolic control and pregnancy outcomes; furthermore, it significantly decreased the need for outpatient consultations and increased women's satisfaction. Studying the impact of telemedicine is also necessary, considering the current difficulties associated with the Sars-COV-2 pandemic

Evaluation on prognostic efficacy of lymph nodes ratio (LNR) and log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) in complicated colon cancer: the first study in emergency surgery
No full textAbstract Background Lymph node involvement is one of the most important prognostic factors in colon cancer. Twelve is considered the minimum number of lymph nodes necessary to retain reliable tumour staging, but several factors can potentially influence the lymph node harvesting. Emergent surgery for complicated colon cancer (perforation, occlusion, bleeding) could represent an obstacle to reach the benchmark of 12 nodes with an accurate lymphadenectomy. So, an efficient classification system of lymphatic involvement is crucial to define the prognosis, the indication to adjuvant therapy and the follow-up. This is the first study with the aim to evaluate the efficacy of lymph nodes ratio (LNR) and log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) in the prognostic assessment of patients who undergo to urgent surgery for complicated colonic cancer. Methods This is a retrospective study carried out on patients who underwent urgent colonic resection for complicated cancer (occlusion, perforation, bleeding, sepsis). We collected clinical, pathological and follow-up data of 320 patients. Two hundred two patients met the inclusion criteria and were distributed into three groups according to parameter N of TNM, LNR and LODDS. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier curves, investigating both overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Results The median number of harvested lymph nodes was 17. In 78.71% (n = 159) of cases, at least 12 lymph nodes were examined. Regarding OS, significant differences from survival curves emerged for ASA score, surgical indication, tumour grading, T parameter, tumour stage, N parameter, LNR and LODDS. In multivariate analysis, only LODDS was found to be an independent prognostic factor. Concerning DFS, we found significant differences between survival curves of sex, surgical indication, T parameter, tumour stage, N parameter, LNR and LODDS, but none of these confirmed its prognostic power in multivariate analysis. Conclusions We found that N, LNR and LODDS are all related to 5-year OS and DFS with statistical significance, but only LODDS was found to be an independent prognostic factor for OS in multivariate analysis
Was There a Quiet Revolution? Belarus After the 2006 Presidential Election
No full textThe 2006 presidential election in Belarus mobilized a large cross-section of society to protest against the Lukashenko regime. Although unprecedented, the mass mobilization was short-lived, failing to develop into another kind of coloured revolution in the region. The key to our understanding of the endurance of Lukashenko's regime seems to lie in its internal environment, and notably, in the seemingly contradictory feature of the Belarusian electorate. Not only do they fully identify with the president, thus effectively legitimizing his politics and policies; they also do so knowingly, through their strategic learning of how to survive and even thrive under Lukashenko's regime. This type of learning, however, may not necessarily lead to a critical reflection of the regime's malpractice, and thus is unlikely to challenge its foundations
