Background: Type 1 and type 2 diabetes during pregnancy requires intensive glucose monitoring to ensure optimal health outcomes for mothers and infants. Standard practice includes patients monitoring their glucose four to six times a day using a standard glucometer and paper diary. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) offers an alternative method for diabetes management.

Due to their extraordinary mechanical strength and electrical and thermal conductivities, graphene fibers and their derivatives have been widely utilized in various functional applications. In this work, we report the synthesis of a three-dimensional (3D) hollow reduced graphene oxide tube assembly (HrGOTA) using the same wet spinning method as graphene fibers. The HrGOTA has high thermal conductivity and displays the unique capability of encapsulating phase change materials for effective solar-thermal energy conversion.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study in central Pennsylvania investigated the effects of low-dose naltrexone (LDN) on anxiety and depression in PwMS during the early months of COVID-19.
  • * Results showed that PwMS on LDN reported significantly lower anxiety and depression scores compared to those on standard oral disease-modifying therapies, indicating LDN may be a helpful treatment option.
