Article Synopsis
  • The management of type 2 diabetes often lacks coordination, leading to delays in care and underutilization of recommended treatments.
  • A study analyzed 232 patients in a specialized clinic where endocrinologists, cardiologists, and nephrologists assessed patients together, focusing on the use of guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT).
  • Results showed a significant increase in GDMT use and improvements in key health markers, indicating that synchronized care may enhance treatment and patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • * Participants from the VOICE-COVID-II trial reported that HF patients and older users struggled more with using the technology, showing lower agreement in responses than younger participants and caregivers.
  • * The findings suggest that younger individuals and caregivers can help improve the use of voice-assisted technology in healthcare settings, particularly for older adults and those with comorbidities like heart failure.

Advancement in additive manufacturing (AM) allows the production of nanocomposites with complex and custom geometries not typically allowable with conventional manufacturing techniques. The benefits of AM have led to recent interest in producing multifunctional materials capable of being printed with current AM technologies. In this article, piezoresistive composites realized by AM and the matrices and fillers utilized to make such devices are introduced and discussed.

Soil organic matter (SOM) is one of the best indicators to assess soil health and understand soil productivity and fertility. Therefore, measuring SOM content is a fundamental practice in soil science and agricultural research. The traditional approach (oven-dry) of measuring SOM is a costly, arduous, and time-consuming process.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presents various phenotypes from asymptomatic involvement to death. Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) is among the poor prognostic complications frequently observed in critical illness. To improve mortality, a timely diagnosis of DIC is essential.

Coagulopathy and derangements in the coagulation parameters are significant features of COVID-19 infection, which increases the risk of disseminated intravascular coagulation, thrombosis, and hemorrhage in these patients, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. In times of COVID-19, special consideration should be given to patients with concurrent chronic kidney disease (CKD) and COVID-19 (CKD/COVID-19 patients) as renal dysfunction increases their risk of thrombosis and hemorrhage, and falsely affects some of the coagulation factors, which are currently utilized to assess thrombosis risk in patients with COVID-19. Hence, we believe extra attention should be given to determining the risk of thrombosis and bleeding and optimizing the timing and dosage of anticoagulant therapy in this unique population of patients.
