Ixodes ricinus tick is a vector of bacteria of Borreliella genus and Borrelia miyamotoi. Exposure to ticks constitutes occupational risk to soldiers, but the current knowledge on this subject is still limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate tick abundance and prevalence of infection with Borreliella spp.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzes glycemic control and anthropometric data in children with type 1 diabetes using the MiniMed 780G Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop system for two years.
  • The research involved 50 children, comparing their glucose levels and growth metrics over time, with no significant changes in their time in the target glucose range or BMI z-scores during the observation period.
  • The findings indicate that glycemic control remained stable over two years, likely aided by an increase in insulin autocorrection, which helped maintain weight and metabolic health in these children.

Background: Given the steadily rising incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D), particularly among the youngest preschool children, coupled with well-documented challenges of achieving and maintaining optimal metabolic control in this age group, there is a growing need for advanced technological devices.

Objective: To evaluate glycaemic control in children below the age of seven with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and assess the safety of the advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) system in comparison to the previous treatment method, a sensor-augmented pump with predictive low-glucose suspend (SAP-PLGS).

Method: Data from 10 children (aged 2.

Background: Information on the influence of insulin treatment using advanced hybrid closed loop systems (AHCL) on body weight of young patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is scarce. The aim of this study was to observe whether there were any changes in body mass index (BMI) of children and adolescents with T1D treated using the Medtronic Minimed 780G AHCL after 1 year of follow up and to analyze potential associations between these changes and the insulin doses.

Materials And Methods: For 50 children and adolescents (age 5.
