Objective Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have demonstrated significant efficacy in improving glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus, which often results in decreased insulin dose requirements. The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in basal and prandial insulin dose requirements from baseline to three months following initiation of a GLP-1 RA. Methodology A retrospective chart review was conducted of adult insulin-treated patients at the Chertow Diabetes Center, Huntington, WV, who were started on GLP-1 RAs for 24 months.

Background: Pesticide applications using a specific droplet size and carrier volume could maximize herbicide efficacy while mitigating particle drift in a precise and efficient manner. The objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of spray droplet size and carrier volume on dicamba and glufosinate efficacy, and to determine the plausibility of droplet-size based site-specific weed management strategies.

Results: Generally, across herbicides and carrier volumes, as droplet size increased, weed control decreased.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is adherence to the October 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations for HIV screening in a large urban adolescent program with availability of a publicly funded program providing free, confidential, sexually transmitted infection (STI) and HIV counseling and testing (then rapid or third generation HIV testing), nested in the same adolescent clinic.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of HIV screening trends among 13- to 24-year-old patients tested for HIV during periods of January 2010 to June 2011 (18 months pre-AAP recommendations period) and July 2011 to December 2012 (18-month period, which included 15 months after the AAP recommendations).

Results: During the period of January 2010 to June 2011, there were 22 tests/1,000 medical visits (N = 824 of 37,520 medical visits), and during the period of July 2011 to December 2012, there were 27 tests/1,000 medical visits (N = 1,068 of 38,763 medical visits) ( < 0.
