Article Synopsis
- Horses were studied to see how using hay nets affects their health, specifically looking at skeletal issues and pain thresholds.
- In a year-long study, 13 horses were divided into two groups, one with hay nets and the other without, and changes in their health metrics were evaluated.
- Results showed that while horses with hay nets had slightly more cervical subluxations, they also exhibited better cervical range of motion, indicating that using hay nets may have minimal impacts on horse health overall.
Automated insulin delivery (AID) is widely available to people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), providing superior glycemic control versus traditional methods. The next generation of AID devices focus on minimizing user/device interactions, especially around meals ("full closed loop," [FCL]). Our goal was to assess the postprandial glycemic impact of the bolus priming system (BPS), an algorithm delivering fixed insulin doses based on the likelihood of a meal having occurred, in conjunction with UVA's latest AID.

- The study aimed to evaluate if obesity is linked to higher free testosterone levels in peri-pubertal girls, addressing potential biases from previous research.
- Researchers analyzed data from 1,299 U.S. girls aged 6-18 years from the NHANES database between 2013-2016.
- Results showed that girls with obesity had significantly higher free testosterone levels across all age groups compared to their healthy-weight peers, indicating a strong association between obesity and increased androgen levels during this developmental stage.
Context: Insulin sensitivity (SI) varies with age in Type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Objective: To compare postprandial glucose turnover and insulin sensitivity between adolescents and adults with T1D.
Design: Cross-sectional comparison.
