Article Synopsis
- The Diabetes Research Hub (DRH) is a new system designed to improve how diabetes data is collected, stored, and analyzed for research purposes.!
- It utilizes advanced analytics on large datasets to provide better insights into diabetes treatment and management, benefiting patient outcomes.!
- Researchers gathering continuous glucose and related physiological data can significantly enhance their work by using the DRH's resources and capabilities.!
Biofouling in membrane filtration systems poses significant operational challenges, leading to decreased permeate flux. The aim of this work was to study the anti-biofilm properties of new nanofiltration membranes produced via layer-by-layer, LBL, assembly by coating a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) support with a polyethylenimine (PEI) and poly(acrylic acid)/graphene oxide (PAA-GO) mixture. The membranes were characterized according to contact angle, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy and their Z-potential.

Secondary objectives involved identifying the factors contributing to developmental disparities across diverse racial and ethnic groups.
Study Design: Electronic health records from a Southern California high-risk infant follow-up clinic were analyzed for 440 infants from 2014 through 2023 who had either had neonatal intensive care unit stays, prematurity, very low birthweight, or developmental delay risk.
Background: Coronary artery pseudoaneurysm (PSA) is a rare occurrence linked to percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), infection, or chest trauma, lacking established management guidelines due to its low incidence.
Case Summary: A 78-year-old male with a medical history of triple vessel disease, post coronary artery bypass grafting, heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, presented with intractable left-sided chest pain following a mechanical fall. The initial workup was positive for mildly elevated high-sensitivity troponin and brain natriuretic peptide raising suspicion for a pulmonary embolism; but chest computed tomography angiography revealed an enlarging pericardial haematoma.
