Impact of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems on quality of life (QoL): Validation of the AID-QoL questionnaire.

Background And Aim: Evidence supports the efficacy of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems in improving glycometabolic outcomes. However, limited data are available on their impact on quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess QoL in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) using AID system (AID-QoL).

Insect-specific RNA viruses detection in Field-Caught Aedes aegypti mosquitoes from Argentina using NGS technology.

Mosquitoes are the primary vectors of arthropod-borne pathogens. Aedes aegypti is one of the most widespread mosquito species worldwide, responsible for transmitting diseases such as Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya, among other medically significant viruses. Characterizing the array of viruses circulating in mosquitoes, particularly in Aedes aegypti, is a crucial tool for detecting and developing novel strategies to prevent arbovirus outbreaks.

3D seismic velocity models from local earthquake tomography furnish new insights on the Mount Etna volcano (Southern Italy).

We present a new seismotomography investigation providing a 3-D overall model of Vp, Vs and Vp/Vs for Mt. Etna, the largest and most active volcano in Europe. We estimated and jointly evaluated P- and S-wave velocity patterns together with the Vp/Vs ratio, particularly useful to discriminate the presence of groundwater, gas, and melts and thus very precious for volcano investigations.

Seismic slip channeling along the East Anatolian Fault illuminates long-term supercycle behavior.

The two Mw > 7.5 earthquakes that struck the East Anatolian Fault (EAF), Türkiye, in 2023 caused more slip than expected, indicating that they were potentially part of a supercycle, in which the occurrence probability of a large earthquake is determined by accumulated strain rather than time since the last large earthquake. Here, we show two potential supercycles along the EAF, analyzing earthquakes from the last two millennia.
