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.
The indwelling urinary catheter is a frequent procedure which has a significant nosocomial impact with a risk of infectious and non-infectious complications. Studies show a reduction in the risk of these complications thanks to better monitoring of recommendations as part of programs within healthcare establishments aimed at improving professional practices (indication, monitoring, etc.).

This study investigates whether the incidence and types of fractures can be related to the histomorphometric features of the radius and tibia, which experience different biomechanical stresses and exhibit varying incidences and types of fractures. Clinical observations suggest that, in adults, slightly transverse and comminuted fractures are present in the radius, while the tibia shows a higher frequency of longitudinal and spiral fractures.

Macroscopically, this process, leading to progressive cerebral volume loss and functional decline, includes memory and motor neuron deficits, as well as behavioral disorders. Morphologically, brain aging is associated with aged neurons and astrocytes, appearing enlarged and flattened, and expressing enhanced pH-dependent β-galactosidase activity.
