Abstract
BackgroundOsteoporosis is a globally significant clinical public health problem associated with age-related fractures [1,2]. Most research on the impact of the disease has been based on quantitative survey data. There are relatively few qualitative studies exploring women’s lived experience with osteoporosis. Furthermore, most data are from Western countries, with no data from the Middle East. Direct access to lived experiences is a powerful tool for gaining insights into a disease [3]. This study aimed to determine the lived experience of postmenopausal Omani women with osteoporosis.ObjectivesThis study sought to answer three questions:1.What does living with osteoporosis mean for postmenopausal Omani women?2.How does culture impact the lives of postmenopausal Omani women with osteoporosis?3.How do postmenopausal Omani women with osteoporosis perceive the support and care provided by healthcare professionals?MethodsAn interpretive phenomenology design was used with a purposive sample of 15 postmenopausal Omani women with osteoporosis and fragility fractures from primary and secondary care facilities in Muscat, Oman. Audio recorded, semi-structured, one-on-one interviews were held by Zoom and telephone; Crist and Tanner’s framework was used to analyze data and identify key themes.ResultsThe mean age of the participants was 63 years. Five (33.3%) reported a previous fracture. Just over half (53%) were illiterate; three (20%) had studied in college. Key themes related to their lived experience emerged from the data analysis: culture and religion; health care professionals’ attitudes; and services and treatment regimen. The subjects’ social and cultural lives were negatively impacted by osteoporosis and fragility fractures, which prevented some from attending celebrations such as close family marriages and religious gatherings. Participants played significant care-giving roles as wives, mothers and grandmothers but many were unable to perform many household chores, such as cooking, due to the osteoporosis and fractures. They perceived healthcare professionals through the professionals’ communication styles and information they provided. Participants satisfied with their doctor’s communication style described it as humanistic, with humour added, noting they provide health information and understand patients’ needs. Those not satisfied indicated their doctors had poor communication styles, showed insufficient interest in them, and asked few questions during their appointments. Professionals at in-patient clinics were perceived as more caring and empathetic than those at out-patient clinics. Treatment abroad was preferred by these women, though some were highly satisfied with their treatment from Omani hospitals. Beliefs about and usage of traditional herbal remedies for the management of fragility fractures differed between educated and non-educated women.ConclusionThis study explored postmenopausal Omani women’s experiences of living with osteoporosis and fragility fractures including the impact of the disease on social and cultural life. It contributes also to our understanding of the experience of the disease in non-western settings.References[1]Barake M, El Eid R, Chakhtoura M, Meho L, Mahmoud T, Atieh J, et al.

Abstract
We offer preliminary evidence drawing on a novel dataset of corporate bonds issued in the European energy sector since January 2020 in combination with the European Central Bank's (ECB) purchases under the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP) in response to COVID-19. We show that the likelihood of a European energy company bond to be bought as part of the ECB's programme increases with the greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of the bond issuing firm. We also find weaker evidence that the ECB's PEPP portfolio during the pandemic is likely to become tilted towards companies with anti-climate lobbying activities and companies with less transparent GHG emissions disclosure. Our findings imply that, at later stages of the COVID-19 recovery, an in-depth analysis may be necessary to understand if, and if yes why, the ECB fuelled the climate crisis.

Abstract
Aim Our aim was to design a new insulin prescribing tool in compliance with the Irish Medicines Safety Network recommendations. Methods In 2015, we undertook a review of the existing paediatric subcutaneous insulin-prescribing sheet introduced to Cork University Hospital in 2013. This involved a retrospective analysis of 15 consecutive in-patient insulin prescribing charts and a questionnaire distributed to health professionals. Following this a new insulin prescribing chart was designed and implemented in 2016 and a re-audit was performed in 2017. Results The 2017 re-audit demonstrated that the new insulin chart was viewed as easier (95% of previous users n=18) and safer (n=16) to use. There was less confusion (2017: 28%, n=11/39 vs 2015: 50%, n=17/34 2015) and the ALERT system helped staff standardise hypo/hyperglycaemia management (71%, n=28). Conclusion The new paediatric insulin prescribing chart has improved safety and ease of prescribing insulin. The colour coded quasi graph and ALERT system has made it easier to appreciate capillary blood glucose trends and manage them safely.
