Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is revolutionizing management. Use of CGM in hospital is poised to transform care, however routine use is not currently recommended due to lack of accuracy validation in acute care, including in people with T1D. We aimed to determine real-world CGM accuracy in hospitalized adults with T1D.

Unlabelled: Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) targeting the HIV-1 CD4-binding site (CD4bs) occur infrequently in macaques and humans and have not been reproducibly elicited in any outbred animal model. To address this challenge, we first isolated RHA10, an infection-induced rhesus bNAb with 51% breadth. The cryo-EM structure of RHA10 with HIV-1 envelope (Env) resembled prototypic human CD4bs bNAbs with CDR-H3-dominated binding.

This study evaluated direct and indirect effects of the Family Check-Up Online (FCU-O) across two distinct randomized trials with middle school youth and families. The FCU-O is a digital health adaptation of the Family Check-Up that is delivered in a brief, online format with supportive coaching. The FCU-O was delivered to parents of middle school youth with a focus on targeting both proximal and distal outcomes that impact the development of conduct problems, including a range of parenting skills, effortful control, and youth emotional problems.

Online or app-based parenting interventions have become more widely available in recent years. However, challenges related to poor engagement and high attrition have been noted in the literature, and there are important questions regarding ways to enhance parental engagement and improve treatment outcomes through digital health, including through the addition of therapeutic coaches. The current study evaluated differences in the effects of active versus "light-touch" coaching implementations of an enhanced version of Family Check-Up Online (FCU-O) on parent/family and child-level outcomes from pre-treatment to 2-month follow-up assessments.

We adapted the Family Check-Up Online (FCU-O) (1) to support families coping with pandemic-related stressors to prevent behavioral and emotional problems among middle school youth and (2) for smartphone delivery to increase access and reach during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study evaluated the direct and indirect effects of the adapted FCU-O at 4-months post-baseline. The FCU-O combines online parenting support with telephone coaching.
