“…Early recognition of JSLE with early referral to specialists are integral to better outcomes [ 93 , 94 ]. Diagnosis can be challenging where infections (such as TB) are often mimics of rheumatic diseases and diagnostic capabilities (including availability of autoantibody tests) are often limited in low resource settings [ 5 , 95 ].…”

This chapter describes the musculoskeletal (MSK) context in children and young people as an important contributor to the global non-communicable disease burden. Through selected MSK conditions, we describe the impact on patients, families and communities and highlight the challenges that need to be addressed. We focus on opportunities for better working together and describe exemplar initiatives to raise awareness, workforce capacity building, models of care and research agendas to have a greater global context.

“…Diabetes has rapidly become a major issue in developing countries due to an increase in obesity as a result of rapid urbanization and diet changes, and people with type 2 diabetes are affected by delays in diagnosis and treatment as well as shortages of drugs such as insulin. 1 The Philippines was ranked fifth worldwide in GDP growth rate in a 2016 survey. 2 Thus, it is achieving markedly rapid growth, even among developing countries.…”

Background The increased prevalence of chronic diseases is a social issue in developing countries. Methods To create a conceptual model representing the quality of life of low-income people with type 2 diabetes in the Philippines, 117 low-income adult participants in a public support group were studied, and the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores on quality of life (QOL) were analyzed in terms of their relationships with the following factors: basic attributes, physical factors (glycated hemoglobin level, complications, comorbidities, and symptoms), social factors (support, education, and financial status), and cognitive factors (knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and self-management behavior). Results Based on correlation coefficients among variables and goodness-of-fit test results through a path analysis, 2 models representing causal relationships were created, both of which showed sufficient goodness-of-fit. Conclusion Glycated hemoglobin levels, knowledge of blood glucose levels, self-efficacy, and self-management behavior (exercise) influenced PCS scores, while age, glycated hemoglobin levels, neuropathy, knowledge of insulin, self-efficacy, and self-management behavior (exercise) influenced MCS scores. The influence of self-efficacy was prominent in both cases, providing an important insight for healthcare professionals to develop effective support methods.

“…33 The scarcity of longitudinal studies of patients with SLE on the African continent, and the unique challenges in diagnosing and managing the disease, make Africa fertile ground for lupus research. 34 The advantages of collaboration to build a multicentre registry using a comprehensive data capturing tool are clear. Researchers studying SLE face a number of challenges.…”
