Methods: This observational, retrospective study collected data from January 01, 2014, to December 31, 2019, from the Dubai Real-World Claims Database (adults ≥18 years; at least 1 T2DM diagnosis claim). Patients were stratified into 5 cohorts: T2DM alone (cohort 1), T2DM and CKD (cohort 2), T2DM and CVD without CKD and HF (cohort 3), T2DM and HF (cohort 4), and T2DM with HF and CKD (cohort 5). An evaluation of demographics and clinical characteristics during pre-index period, as well as treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization, and costs during the post-index period was conducted. Results: The sample had 374,271 patients with T2DM (age 43–56 years; male [72...

A patient registry is defined as “a structured system that practices observational study methods ... more A patient registry is defined as “a structured system that practices observational study methods to collect constant data (clinical and other) to evaluate detailed outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition or exposure, and that serve one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes”[1]. The data derived from patient registries can provide a real-world view of clinical practice, patient outcomes, safety, and comparative effectiveness [2]. This article highlights the good practices that are essential to the design and conduct of patient registries. To provide a brief insight on the good practices to conduct patient registries. The key aspects to be considered when conducting a registry are accessibility, set up of the right research questions and maintaining the confidentiality and transparency of patient data. A patient registry must be conducted without affecting the ethical rights of the patients.

One of the major barriers preventing the access to sophisticated vaccines is the high vaccine price, the same factor that is preventing their implementation in developing countries with limited resources and funds. So, it is imperative that financial breaches and funding resources for the future are stringently appraised to strengthen immunization programs and expedite financial sustainability. Health Technology Assessment (HTA) presents an inventive and efficient approach by facilitating decision makers with a valid tool to improvise the allocation of limited resources in immunization programs. Hence, in this article we have attempted to address and suggest measures that can be implemented on a collaborative basis to mitigate the financial challenges faced in immunization programs in developing...

A power overlay structure of an MEMS device includes MEMS devices(120/121), a dielectric layer(100), a metal layer, and a first heat discharge port(190). The MEMS device is provided on the surface thereof with at least one contact structure. The contact structure is connected to a functional element of the MEMS device. The dielectric layer includes an opening to expose the contact structure. The metal layer includes a conductive material extending onto the surface of the dielectric layer while passing through the opening in the dielectric layer. The first heat discharge port thermally communicates with the metal layer.

CONSTITUTION: A base dielectric lamination sheet(42) is attached to a first surface of a semiconductor device. A base dielectric lamination sheet is thicker than a first passivation layer(22). A second passivation layer(30) is coated on the first passivation layer and the semiconductor device. The second passivation layer is thicker than the first passivation layer. A plurality of metal interconnection units(36) is electrically combined with a plurality of metal connection pads(16).

Such compositions enable lower attainable bond line thickness, which decreases in-situ thermal resistances that exist between thermal interface materials (20) and the corresponding mating surfaces.
