Article Synopsis
- Advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) systems are the latest insulin therapy for adults with type 1 diabetes, aiming to assess their effectiveness during nighttime hours.
- A study of 55 adults evaluated three AHCL systems (Minimed 780G, Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ, and DBLG1) based on continuous glucose monitoring over 14 nights.
- All systems met glycemic targets, but the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ system achieved a significantly higher percentage of time in range (TIR), suggesting better overall performance.
Chest X-ray at Emergency Admission and Potential Association with Barotrauma in Mechanically Ventilated Patients: Experience from the Italian Core of the First Pandemic Peak.
Tomography
December 2023
Article Synopsis
- Barotrauma is a common complication in COVID-19 patients with interstitial pneumonia who are on mechanical ventilation, prompting the study to explore its link to the Brixia score from chest X-rays.
- The research involved 117 patients admitted to the ICU, revealing that 32.5% developed barotrauma, with higher Brixia score values in those affected (average 12.18 versus 9.28).
- Logistic regression analysis confirmed a significant association between higher Brixia scores and the risk of barotrauma, along with other factors like the SOFA score and days of non-invasive ventilation before intubation.

Purpose: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Microfragmented Autologous Fat Tissue (MFAT) treatment for knee osteoarthritis and to investigate whether patients' pre-treatment clinical condition, such as synovitis, correlates with clinical outcomes, to identify potential predicting factors for the success or failure of the treatment.
Methods: In this prospective Cohort Study Level II multicentric trial, consecutive patients with a diagnosis of early/mild osteoarthritis and failure of previous conservative measures were enrolled to undergo diagnostic arthroscopy and a single MFAT injection. Patients were assessed with repeated scoring systems at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery.
Purpose: To report the 5-year clinical efficacy of PRP intra articular injections in knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to investigate the risk factors predictive for treatment failure and poor clinical outcome.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 118 patients treated for low to moderate knee OA demonstrated by X-Ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with autologous PRP injection from 2014 to 2018 with a mean 51.1 ± 14.
