Introduction: The potential efficacy of a board game in health education has been demonstrated. This study aims to develop a simple and useful diabetes education board game for adult Filipinos with T2DM that can supplement diabetes education. Methods: This study used a mixed methods design involving a multistep process to develop and evaluate the board game. The initial phase involved the generation of comprehensible illustrations. Diabetes experts including three endocrinologists, one diabetes education nurse, and one dietician and 20 patients evaluated each illustration incorporated into the game board patterned after snakes and ladders. Twenty adult patients were then recruited to play the board game. Each patient subsequently completed a survey regarding perception of the game’s acceptability in terms of usability, replay appeal, and ability to reinforce knowledge. Results: The illustrations’ comprehensibility or mean correct response of participants to the illustrations was 75%. At least 50% of patients correctly identified each of the illustrations. Eighteen (56.25%) out of the 32 illustrations had a mean correct response of 75% or higher. The illustrations were perceived to depict their intended meaning (translucency). All illustrations had a median translucency score of five and above in a scale of one to seven. The game had a high median rating for acceptability of five on a scale of one to five. All the participants agreed that they liked playing the game and would recommend the game to other patients with diabetes. Conclusion The developed adult diabetes board game – “Winning at Diabetes”, is a simple, useful and acceptable supplement to standard diabetes education.

This paper introduced a case of colonal duplication before operation diagnosed by X-ray. The colonal duplication is rare benign congenital abnormality. The prognosis depends on the extent of lesion and combination of other abnormality. There are many ways of the treatment: tubular colonal duplication treated by stripping the mucosa, cyst colonal duplication treated by removal of cyst

Hypertension is increasing in the world including the Vietnam. Changes in concentrations of bood lipid, glucose are often correlated with hypertension. Changes in bood lipid concentration are major cause of cardiovascular disease. Finding and treatment of dyslipidemia in hypertensive patients will reduce cardiac complications. Objective: To detemnine serum total cholesterol, glucose, creatinine and urine protein, glucose in adults with hypertension and to find out the correlation between biochemical values and hypertension grades. Objects and method: 379 people with hypertension (grade 1: 221 people; grade 2: 134 people; grade 3: 24 people) and 86 people without hypertension served as control. This cross-sectional study was conducted from 12/2004-3/2005. Results: Biochemical values in people with hypertension were: total cholesterol: 4.75- 5.95 mmol/l; glucose: 4.83-5.11 mmol/l; creatinine: 69.22-89.02mmol/l. Urine protein test was positive in 6.3% of people with hypertesion. Values of total cholesterol, creatinine in people with grade-3 hypertension were significantly higher than these in normotensive people (p< 0.01). There were significantly regressed between diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP) with creatinin (DBP: r=0.157 P< 0.01 ; Y=(0.101 X creatinin)+83.668 - SBP: r=0.113 P=0.02 Y= (0.127 X creatinin)+139.369.
