“… 15 A few studies have examined patients’ adherence to regular foot self-care as part of assessing diabetes self-management, 15 - 18 but published data on the prevalence of diabetes-related foot complications, footwear choices, and the degree to which recommended foot self-care practices are performed by patients with diabetes in Oman are lacking. 11 , 19 Information on diabetic foot self-care practices is important for identifying gaps in the provision of diabetic foot care services, 20 and developing and implementing targeted interventions aimed at improving the adoption of recommended foot care practices and reducing rates of DFD. 21 …”

Objectives Diabetic foot disease causes substantial morbidity and mortality, but it can be prevented. Our study examined the frequency of diabetes-related foot problems and foot self-care practices, as reported by consecutive patients attending primary and secondary diabetes services in Muscat, Oman. Methods A cross-sectional survey utilizing a newly developed and pre-tested questionnaire was conducted at eight primary health care centers and one polyclinic (secondary care) in A'Seeb, Muscat. A convenience sample of 353 consecutive Omanis, aged 20 years and above, diagnosed with diabetes were invited to participate in this study. We collected data on clinico-demographic characteristics, patient-reported foot complications, and foot self-care practices. Results Of the 350 patients who agreed to participate (mean diabetes duration 7.9±7.4 years, response rate: 99.2%), 62.3% were female, 57.4% were unemployed, more than half were illiterate (52.9%), and around three-quarters (71.4%) were unsure of the type of diabetes they had. More than half (55.1%) reported having at least one or more sensory peripheral neuropathy symptoms, almost half (49.1%) reported one or more peripheral vascular disease symptoms in the previous month, and 12.5% a history of foot ulceration. Reported foot self-care practices were overall suboptimal; 54.7% did not examine the bottom of their feet each day. Conclusions Although self-reported diabetes-related foot complications were common in this population, foot self-care practices were inadequate. These findings suggest a need for the provision of regular foot care education to patients with diabetes. Future research should explore barriers to recommended foot self-care practices.

“…While one out of every six patients with diabetes experiences an ulcer during their lifetime in developed countries, patients in the developing nations, unfortunately, experience a much higher risk [ 8 ]. These diabetic foot lesions significantly affect the health and socioeconomic status of the patient, unfavorably influencing their quality of life (QOL), while inflicting heavy financial burden on their families [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Background and objective Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) have been shown to have a high impact on the patients’ perceived health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The aim of this study was to estimate the HRQOL and its related risk factors in patients with foot ulcers associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods This cross-sectional study was performed on 81 patients with DFU, from January 2019 to July 2019 at the Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study population was purposively and conveniently chosen based on patients' availability during their regular and customary outpatient clinic visits. Using the Arabic version of the Short-Form 36-Item Survey (SF-36), these patients were interviewed and their HRQOL scores were was assessed. The SF-36 covered eight aspects of health such as physical functioning, body pain, limitations in the roles induced by physical health problems, limitations in the roles caused by personal or emotional problems, emotional well-being, social functioning, energy/fatigue, and general health perceptions. Results It was evident that age, gender, education, occupation, smoking, duration of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, body mass index (BMI), and the number of diabetes-associated complications, hypertension, and dyslipidemia significantly affected the patients' physical functions. The physical health of the patient was strongly influenced by gender, education, occupation, income, BMI, and the number of complications. The emotional health of the patient was affected by dyslipidemia, deformity, prior amputations, as well as BMI and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). The social standing of the patient was influenced by age, income, education, and occupation. The degree of pain experienced by the patient varied with age and the number of complications, as well as notable differences in their general health. The factors of age, education, occupation, income, and the number of diabetic complications induced several health changes in varying degrees. The patients with DFU revealed overall lower HRQOL relating to all the eight aspects of the SF-36. Conclusion The patients with DFU in Saudi Arabia generally revealed lower HRQOL. However, prospective and large-scale studies are required in the future to support these findings.

“…Similarly, past bibliometric publications on T2DM were focused on many aspects, including most-cited publications in the microbiota of diabetes research;[ 44 ] Type 2 Diabetes Research Yield, 1951–2012;[ 45 ] Diabetes Research in Iran;[ 46 ] Global architecture of gestational diabetes research;[ 47 ] analysis of global research output on diabetes depression and suicide;[ 48 ] Diabetic Foot Disease Research. [ 49 ] Our bibliometric profile results showed that research output escalated in 2014, 2015, and 2017 in addition to the total citation count showing the enhanced trend in research. Specifically, articles published in 2017 received more citations than other years suggesting funding opportunities for research in this area, given the increasing prevalence of T2DM.…”

Bibliometric profile and density visualizing analysis of yoga intervention in type 2 diabetes: A 44 - year study on global scientific research output from 1975 to 2019

The aim of the paper is to provide an in-depth evaluation of the research output of yoga intervention on type 2 diabetes mellitus from 1975 to 2019 using large-scale data analysis, bibliometric indicators, and density equalizing mapping. Data related to yoga-diabetic research, as search descriptors were retrieved using the Scopus database. The most common bibliometric indicators were annual research output, total citations, productive countries and leading authors, journals and institutions, and frequently cited articles. The number of global research articles retrieved for yoga-diabetic research over the study period 1975–2019 was 411. The growth rate of global publications in 2015–2019 is four times as high as in 1975–2003. The total number of citations for the retrieved articles was 7189, and the average number of citations per article was 23.82. Of these journals, the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine has published the highest number of papers, which accounts for 2.9% of total publications. This study showed a wide variety of journals in which yoga-diabetic articles are published; these bibliometric indicators provide useful information on performance assessment of productivity and quality of research output. Therefore, this study provides a helpful reference for endocrinologists, yoga therapists, policy decision-makers, and diabetes researchers.
