This pilot study assessed the feasibility of a program to support continuous glucose monitor (CGM) use with remote patient monitoring (RPM) to improve glycemia for youth with established T1D and public insurance.
Methods: From August 2020 to June 2023, we provided CGM with RPM support via patient portal messaging for youth with established T1D on public insurance with challenges obtaining consistent CGM supplies.
ABX-type hybrid organic-inorganic structures have recently emerged as a new class of meltable materials. Here, by the use of phenylphosphonium derivatives as A cation, we study liquid- and glass-forming behavior of a new family of hybrid structures, (RPhP)[Mn(dca)] (R = Me, Et, Ph; dca = dicyanamide). These new compounds melt at 196-237 °C () and then vitrify upon cooling to room temperature, forming glasses.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The tropical region of Wallacea was first settled by modern humans around 50,000 years ago, with Austronesian seafarers arriving approximately 3,500 years ago.
- Current populations in Wallacea show a mix of ancestries derived from both Papuan and Asian sources, suggesting interactions between local populations and Austronesian migrants, although much of the Papuan-related ancestry is traced back to migrations from New Guinea.
- Recent genetic analysis, alongside archaeological and linguistic evidence, indicates that the population history of Wallacea has been significantly influenced by the movement of Papuan genes, languages, and cultures over the last 3,500 years.
There is an ongoing debate regarding the necessity for sex-segregated sports particularly in youth. However, there has been minimal evaluation of prepubertal sex-based differences in the events of shot put, javelin throw, and long jump. Therefore, the top eight performances from the USA Track and Field National Youth Outdoor Championships and National Junior Olympic Championships during the years 2016-2023 for shot put, javelin throw, and long jump in the 8-and-under and 9-10-year-old age groups were analyzed for sex-based differences.
