Personalized management of hepatic glycogen storage disorders: The role of continuous glucose monitoring.

Objective: Glycogen storage disorders (GSD), inherent disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, feature hypoglycemia as a hallmark. Normoglycemia and glucose monitoring are pivotal in disease management. Conventional glucometer-based monitoring may overlook hypoglycemic trends.

Mobile health apps for cardiovascular risk assessment: a systematic review.

Introduction: mHealth apps (MHA) are emerging as promising tools for cardiovascular risk assessment, but few meet the standards required for clinical use. We aim to evaluate the quality and functionality of mHealth apps for cardiovascular risk assessment by healthcare professionals.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review of MHA for cardiovascular risk assessment in the Apple Store, Play Store, and Microsoft Store until August 2023.

Beyond adverse events in anesthesiology: 'unanticipated events' and strategies for improved reporting.

Purpose Of Review: Patient safety in anesthesiology has advanced significantly over the past several decades. The current process of improving care is often based on studying adverse events (AEs) and near misses. However, there is a wealth of information not captured by focusing solely on these events, potentially resulting in missed opportunities for care improvements.

Depth of anesthesia monitoring: an argument for its use for patient safety.

Purpose Of Review: There have been significant advancements in depth of anesthesia (DoA) technology. The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation recently published recommendations to use a DoA monitor in specific patient populations receiving general anesthesia. However, the universal use of DoA monitoring is not yet accepted.
