The Longer, the Better: Continuous Glucose Monitoring Use for ≥90% Is Superior to 70%-89% in Achieving Tighter Glycemic Outcomes in Children with Type 1 Diabetes.

The recommended threshold for the time spent on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is established at 70%. However, glucose outcomes in children with type 1 diabetes (CwD) using CGM for a different proportion of time within this threshold have not been evaluated yet. The study aims to compare glycemic parameters among CwD who spent 70%-89% and ≥90% on CGM using the population-wide data from the Czech national pediatric diabetes registry ČENDA.

Topical Minoxidil Overdose in a Young Man With Androgenetic Alopecia: A Case Report.

Minoxidil is an effective and relatively safe topical drug that is used to treat androgenetic alopecia and other types of alopecia. This active ingredient is used in dermatology as a hair growth stimulant; however, the use of solutions containing minoxidil can be accompanied by a variety of cardiovascular systemic side effects. In this case report, we describe the case of a 23-year-old man who presented with complaints of dizziness, blurred vision, general malaise, fatigue, and feeling pre-syncopal while standing after applying large amounts of topical minoxidil solution for three days in a row.

Introduction of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a key factor in decreasing HbA1c in war refugee children with type 1 diabetes.

Aims: Our aim was to describe the changes in therapy and diabetes control in Ukrainian war refugee children with diabetes (CwD) during the first year of their stay in Czechia.

Methods: A total of 124 CwD (62 male, 62 female) were enrolled into this observational study. Anthropometric, laboratory and diabetes management data were acquired at baseline and at 3 months intervals for 12 months.

Estimation of Thermal Stability of Si-SiO-W Nanolayered Structures with Infrared Spectrometry.

Nanolayered coatings are proposed for use in microelectronic devices where the size/performance ratio is becoming increasingly important, with the aim to achieve existing quality requirements while reducing the size of the devices and improving their ability to perform stably over multiple cycles. Si-SiO-W structures have been proposed as a potential material for the fabrication of microelectronic devices. However, before such materials can be implemented in devices, their properties need to be carefully studied.
