Edge-AI Enabled Wearable Device for Non-Invasive Type 1 Diabetes Detection Using ECG Signals.

Diabetes is a chronic condition, and traditional monitoring methods are invasive, significantly reducing the quality of life of the patients. This study proposes the design of an innovative system based on a microcontroller that performs real-time ECG acquisition and evaluates the presence of diabetes using an Edge-AI solution. A spectrogram-based preprocessing method is combined with a 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) to analyze the ECG signals directly on the device.

High-risk pregnant women's perceptions of their condition: A qualitative study with an emphasis on psychosocial need.

This qualitative study was carried out with 30 high-risk pregnant women from a Brazilian referral service in women's health. The objective was to analyze the perception of participants regarding their condition, emphasizing their psychosocial needs, to deepen the understanding of subjective, relational, and sociocultural aspects associated with high-risk pregnancy. Data were collected through interviews and participant observation and then explored by thematic content analysis.

Strategies for introducing and implementing vaccines for adults into national immunization programs in Europe: Good practices and key insights of the adult immunization board meeting.

In April 2024, the Adult Immunization Board convened a technical meeting to explore the latest strategies and identify exemplary approaches regarding the implementation of vaccines for adults into Europe's National Immunization Programs (NIPs). The meeting was built around three pillars: decision making for introducing a new vaccine, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The increasing number of new vaccines available in a context of competing health priorities warrants transparent and evidence-based decision-making processes for vaccine introduction.

Innovations in Nipple-areolar Complex Reconstruction: Evaluation of a New Prosthesis.

Background: The reconstruction of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) is a crucial step for completing breast restoration with patient satisfaction. Surgical reconstruction or tattooing of the NAC may not be preferable or feasible for some patients. There is no universal method for NAC that is ideal for every patient or clinical situation.
