Objective: To evaluate a regimen of inhaled Technosphere insulin (TI) plus insulin degludec in adults with type 1 diabetes, who prestudy were predominately using either an automated insulin delivery (AID) system or multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) with continuous glucose monitoring.

Research Design And Methods: At 19 sites, adults with type 1 diabetes were randomly assigned to TI plus insulin degludec (N = 62) or usual care (UC) with continuation of prestudy insulin delivery method (N = 61) for 17 weeks.

Results: Prestudy, AID was used by 48% and MDI by 45%.

  • The study aimed to identify the types of bacteria causing acute otitis externa (AOE) and their antimicrobial sensitivities in patients from a tertiary care center in North India.
  • Out of 66 patients, 50 samples tested positive for bacterial cultures, with gram-negative bacteria accounting for 60% and gram-positive for 40%, the most common being Pseudomonas aeruginosa (48%).
  • The findings emphasized the importance of regularly assessing bacterial flora and antimicrobial resistance to ensure effective treatment for AOE, as bacteria showed varying susceptibilities to different antibiotics.
