- Intermittent self-catheterisation using hydrophilic coated catheters can lead to risks such as trauma, bleeding, and infection.
- Newer catheter designs aim to reduce these risks by remaining lubricated for longer periods.
- This improved lubrication helps ensure a more comfortable and safer experience during insertion and withdrawal.
Objective: To examine family medicine (FM) and obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) residents' experiences with CenteringPregnancy (CP) group prenatal care (GPNC) as a correlate to perceived likelihood of implementing CP in future practice, as well as knowledge, level of support, and perceived barriers to implementation.
Methods: We conducted a repeated cross-sectional study annually from 2017 to 2019 with FM and OB/GYN residents from residency programs in the United States licensed to operate CP. We applied adjusted logistic regression models to identify predictors of intentions to engage with CP in future practice.
Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of automated insulin delivery (AID) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who are at a high risk of hypoglycemia, enrolling 72 participants who had a history of severe hypoglycemic events.
- Participants were randomly assigned to use either AID technology or traditional continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and insulin pump therapy for 12 weeks, measuring changes in time below range (TBR) and other glucose metrics.
- Results showed that AID significantly reduced TBR by 3.7% and increased time in target range (TIR) by 8.6%, leading to the conclusion that AID is highly recommended for adults with T1D at
Perspectives of Infant Mortality from African American Community Members.

Health disparities exist with African American (AA) infants having higher rates of IM than White infants. The purpose of this study was to examine the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of members in an AA community regarding IM, which can be used to develop interventions.
