Massive switch to an automated insulin delivery system in adults with type 1 diabetes previously treated with sensor-augmented pump due to high risk for hypoglycemia.

Introduction: Automatic insulin delivery (AID) systems improve glycemic control and quality of life in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our aim was to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of switching from a sensor-augmented pump (SAP) to AID in T1D subjects at high risk of hypoglycemia.

Materials And Methods: A manufacturer-led program consisting of three sessions was implemented.

Chitosan: A Green Approach to Metallic Nanoparticle/Nanocomposite Synthesis and Applications.

Chitosan, a naturally occurring biopolymer derived from chitin, has emerged as a highly promising instrument for the production and application of metal nanoparticles. The present review delves into the several functions of chitosan in the development and operation of metal nanoparticles, emphasizing its aptitudes as a green reducing agent, shape-directing agent, size-controlling agent, and stabilizer. Chitosan's special qualities make it easier to manufacture metal nanoparticles and nanocomposites with desired characteristics.

Nitrogen modulates the ozone response of Mediterranean wheat: Considerations for ozone risk assessment.

The experiment was conducted in an Open Top Chamber facility located in the Mediterranean basin to investigate how nitrogen (N) fertilization affects the response of wheat to ozone (O) exposure. The study considered the response of Artur Nick, a modern wheat cultivar commonly used in the area, to three O exposure levels (ambient and elevated ambient, +20 and +40 nL L O), and two N fertilization doses (100 and 200 kg ha). Measurements included leaf gas exchange, leaf chlorophyll content, leaf and grain N content, plant growth and yield parameters.
