“…It is increasingly clear that traditionally 'mental' disorders such as depression, anxiety and substance abuse should often be conceptually linked to traditionally 'physical' disorders such as diabetes, skin disorders and hypertension, as the complex ties among physiology, psychology, behavior, environment and health are better appreciated. For example, multifaceted ties have been demonstrated among personality, stress, hormones, body fat and eating (Bradley, Pierce, Hendrieckx, Riazi, & Barendse, 2001;Epel, Spanakos, Kasl-Godley, & Brownell, 1996;Goldston, Kovacs, Obrosky, & Iyengar, 1995). The present study therefore includes both types of illness.…”

Health Status and the Five-factor Personality Traits in a Nationally Representative Sample

The authors' objective was to determine the association between the 'big-five' personality traits and mental and physical disorders among adults in the United States. The Midlife Development in the United States Survey, a nationally representative sample of 3032 adults ages 25-74, was used to determine the association between the five-factor traits of personality and common mental and physical disorders. Findings are consistent with and extend previous results showing that conscientiousness is associated with significantly reduced likelihood of a wide range of mental and physical disorders among adults in the general population, and inversely that neuroticism is associated with increased rates. Among adults with physical illnesses, associations were found between personality and likelihood of physical limitations, especially conscientiousness. These findings provide a framework upon which research on complex causal processes may proceed. Thus future research attention might profitably be directed to conscientiousness-relevant processes, such as adherence to health and treatment recommendations and internalization of healthy societal norms for sensible health-related behavior.

“…Despite the serious health risks involved, many patients find it extremely diYcult to follow the indicated medical regime to control their diabetes, which implies that there is a need to take into account individual diVerences in treatment preferences. 22 However, in order for this to occur, values and preferences associated with diVerent treatment approaches must be understood. There are many diVerent ways of managing diabetes; if a patient struggles to achieve satisfactory diabetic control with one approach, it may be that some aspect of that approach is inappropriate for that individual.…”

Treatment selection is now much more consumer driven than in the past. However, there is a need to develop investigative methodological approaches that are sensitive to differences in patient preferences if full account is to be taken of what the patient sees as the best option in terms of different possible treatments available for a particular condition. Previous attitude research has been criticised because it does not provide insight into reasons why people hold different preferences or beliefs. A methodology is described which allows people to describe their concerns and values associated with different treatment options in their own words. This is the repertory grid method of eliciting personal constructs used in conjunction with generalised Procrustes analysis (GPA). An example of the use of this methodology is provided, drawn from research directed towards understanding people's beliefs about genetic technologies. A possible application of the method to understanding treatment preferences related to type 2 diabetes is also discussed. It is concluded that the use of innovative methodologies is essential if our understanding of patient preferences regarding treatment options is to have a significant impact on patient quality of life.

“…The aim of the therapy for diabetes mellitus is to achieve strict glycemic control in order to avoid the development of long-term diabetic complications such as nerve damage, blindness, diabetic coma, etc. [3]. In particular, insulin replacement therapy is the main treatment for the people with diabetes type І who have a lack of insulin secretion [4].…”

Glucose sensing and driven “organic engine” with co-immobilized enzyme membrane for actuation by blood sugar in diabetes

et al. 2013

In order to develop chemo-mechanical autonomous drug release system which is able to be driven by low glucose concentration close to blood sugar level for diabetic treatment, the organic engine with co-immobilized enzyme membrane was developed and tested. The enzymes (glucose oxidase (GOD), pyranose oxidase (POX), alcohol oxidase (AOX), galactose oxidase (GAO)) that oxidize glucose and/or glucono-1.5-lactone were evaluated for co-immobilization and, the most effective decompression was obtained in the organic engine with coimmobilized POX+GOD membrane. As a result, the decompression rate in the organic engine with POX+GOD membrane was increased 3 times higher than the conventional one with GOD membrane, and necessary decompression in the organic engine for driving the drug release system was obtained at 10 mmol/L glucose which is close to the blood sugar level. Therefore, the organic engine with co-immobilized enzyme membrane showed a promising result for development of chemo-mechanical system actuated by human blood sugar for diabetic treatment.I.
