Article Synopsis
- - The case series examines the use of sirolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, as an additional treatment for hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia (HH) in infants who don't respond to standard therapies.
- - Four infants from two pediatric centers in Australia were treated with sirolimus, with their clinical responses and side effects tracked through chart reviews.
- - Results showed sirolimus to be effective and mostly safe, leading to hospital discharges, but suggested a need for careful monitoring and lower dosing to mitigate risks, highlighting the necessity for more research on its use.
Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) represents an important but limited treatment for patients with severe COVID-19. We assessed the effects of an educational intervention on a person's ECMO care preference and examined whether patients and providers had similar ECMO preferences.
Methods: In the Video+Survey group, patients watched an educational video about ECMO's purpose, benefits, and risks followed by an assessment of ECMO knowledge and care preferences in seven scenarios varying by hypothetical patient age, function, and comorbidities.
Aim: We investigated if continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) within 12 months of being diagnosed modifies the development of glycaemic outcome inequity on the basis of either ethnicity or socio-economic status (SES).
Method: De-identified clinical and SES data from the KIWIDIAB data network were collected 12 months after diagnosis in children under 15 years diagnosed with T1D between 1 October 2020 and 1 October 2021.
Results: There were 206 children with new onset T1D: CGM use was 56.
Unlabelled: Glucan-dependent biofilm formation is a crucial process in the establishment of as a cariogenic oral microbe. The process of glucan formation has been investigated in great detail, with glycosyltransferases GtfB, GtfC, and GtfD shown to be indispensable for the synthesis of glucans from sucrose. Glucan production can be visualized during biofilm formation through fluorescent labeling, and its abundance, as well as the effect of glucans on general biofilm architecture, is a common phenotype to study virulence regulation.

Methods: A representative from each tertiary and regional diabetes service in Aotearoa New Zealand was asked to participate in an online survey assessing health-care professional (HCP) workforce numbers operating for the 2021 calendar year. Regional full-time-equivalent (FTE), glycaemic outcomes and population demographics were compared to a previously reported workforce surveys (2015 and 2019).
