“…The Norwich Diabetes Occupational Satisfaction Questionnaire (NDOSQ, Appendix 1) was developed from a model first published in the Asian Journal of Occupational Therapy [22] to assess psychosocial factors impairing diabetes self-care and the impact of diabetes on patients' lives from the patients' perspectives. It encourages patients to identify and prioritise their own problems in the following categories: 1.…”

“…Spiritual awareness is therefore assessed with the question "What is the most important thing to you in your life?" For most people, success in this domain is thought to depend on opportunities for altruistic actions that contribute to a sense of self-worth [22]. For people with antisocial personality disorder altruism may not be required for spiritual fulfilment, but people with personality disorder were excluded from this research.…”

Type-1 diabetes results from cessation of endogenous insulin production. Self-management is essential for patients with type-1 diabetes to prevent secondary organ damage and premature death. Self-management may be inhibited by a vast array of psychosocial factors, and therapy is unlikely to be successful unless these factors are identified and addressed. A pilot study of seven patients from Norfolk in the United Kingdom was undertaken to investigate the psychosocial factors interfering with diabetes self-management. Occupational therapy assessments and interventions were provided in an outpatient clinic. Patients' capacities for diabetes self-management were adversely affected by physical and psychological comorbidities, financial hardship and family responsibilities. Health problems resulting from sub-optimal diabetes self-management included visual impairment, lower limb amputation, erectile dysfunction, hypoglycaemia and diabetic ketoacidosis. A combination of these problems impacted on patients' spiritual lives, interpersonal and intimate relationships, employment prospects, finances and personal power, pleasure and security.

“…Its extracts have been used in folk medicine in different cultures. In India, it was one of the most used herbs in Ayurvedic medicine to treat gastrointestinal disorders and, more recently, chronic malaria [2][3][4]. Black pepper has also been used to treat epilepsy in traditional Chinese medicine [4].…”

Black pepper, a commonly utilized culinary condiment, holds significant importance in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicinal practices due to its various biological benefits, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. To amplify these attributes and enhance their efficacy in formulations, the utilization of nanocarriers presents a promising approach. Thus, the objective of this study was to obtain a pepper extract, evaluate its constituents, and encapsulate it in polymeric nanoparticles. The ethanol extract of the grains powder had a higher concentration of piperine and better antioxidant activity when compared to whole grains. Pepper extract encapsulation efficiency in terms of piperine concentration was 84.8 ± 3.5%, and a sustained and prolonged release profile was observed, as well as other studies in the literature using polycaprolactone (PCL). The presence of the extract did not change the instability index and the sedimentation velocity of the nanoparticles, as well as the polydispersity index and the zeta potential of nanoparticles. However, there was a difference in the mean size and concentration of particles. This study highlights the potential of PCL nanoparticles as a promising delivery system for black pepper extract, which could have various applications in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, maximizing the benefits of black pepper extract.

Psychoneuroimmunology of infection: implications for occupational therapy

Background: Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of the interactive relationships between the mind and immune system. This article looks at psychological factors influencing infection susceptibility. A thorough review of the research evidence on this topic is beyond the scope of this article. Recent infection-specific psychoneuroimmunology literature is therefore highlighted and possible underlying mechanisms are summarized. Content: Current evidence shows that susceptibility to infections and allergies can be increased by chronic stress through suppression of the T-helper 1 immune response in favour of a T-helper 2 immune response. Conclusions: Holistic interventions such as stress management, lifestyle changes, and career management could be considered to reduce susceptibility to infection. Further research however is required in this area to contribute to an evidence base underpinning psychosocial interventions for preventative health care.
