RESUMEN

AIMS: To investigate the renal effects of fitness in people with diabetes with mild renal dysfunction. METHODS: The effect of a 12-week exercise programme on estimated GFR in 128 people with diabetes was evaluated. RESULTS: All cardiometabolic variables improved after 12 weeks of supervised exercise. Although there was a modest 3.9% increase in estimated GFR from baseline in the 128 people who completed the study, those with baseline chronic kidney disease stages 2 and 3 were found to have significant (6 and 12%, respectively; p < 0.01) improvements in post-exercise estimated GFR. Moreover, 42% of the people with chronic kidney disease stage 3 improved to chronic kidney disease stage 2 after the intervention. CONCLUSION: Short-term exercise improves renal function in those with more moderate baseline chronic kidney disease. Thus, renal function appears to be responsive to enhanced physical fitness. Being a strong and modifiable risk factor, enhanced fitness should be considered a non-pharmacological adjunct in the management of diabetic kidney disease.

RESUMEN

The willingness of physicians to provide care to HIV-positive patients has been linked to a number of attitudinal factors, but little is known concerning the impact of premedical, medical, and residency training on these factors. The purpose of this study is to elicit responses to the same series of questions concerning HIV and its treatment from respondents at different stages of training, to detect trends in attitudes and to measure the impact of those attitudes on willingness to provide care for HIV/AIDS patients. Study data come from a cross-sectional survey (n = 249) of respondents across the training continuum, from premedical students to faculty physicians, using a self-administered questionnaire at a single medical school. The response rate was 59.6%. The study showed significant decreases in personal fear and misgivings concerning HIV, coupled with a substantial decrease in the perceived need for testing of non-high-risk individuals, as respondents gained additional education and training. Overall, the intent to treat HIV did not change significantly by training level, but multivariate analyses showed that while the initially strong influence of attitudes toward AIDS and its attendant risks diminishes, comfort relative to being around homosexuals per se continues to exert an impact on the intent to treat. Appropriate use of protective measures when providing care becomes far more common once individuals enter their clinical training years. The impact of medical education through its entire continuum therefore shows a positive impact on attitudes toward HIV, despite the absence of a significant trend in respondents' stated intent to treat. However, negative attitudes toward homosexuals continue to exert a negative influence on intent to treat that endures into the clinical training years.
