Different Times for Different Metrics: Predicting 90 Days of Intermittently Scanned Continuous Glucose Monitoring Data in Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes on Multiple Daily Injection Therapy. Findings From a Multicentric Real-World Study.

Aims: According to the 2023 International Consensus, glucose metrics derived from two-week-long continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can be extrapolated up to 90 days before. However, no studies have focused on adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on multiple daily injections (MDIs) and with second-generation intermittently scanned CGM (isCGM) sensors in a real-world setting.

Methods: This real-world, retrospective study included 539 90-day isCGM data from 367 adults with T1D on MDI therapy.

Design, Calibration and Morphological Characterization of a Flexible Sensor with Adjustable Chemical Sensitivity and Possible Applications to Sports Medicine.

Active life monitoring via chemosensitive sensors could hold promise for enhancing athlete monitoring, training optimization, and performance in athletes. The present work investigates a resistive flex sensor (RFS) in the guise of a chemical sensor. Its carbon 'texture' has shown to be sensitive to CO, O, and RH changes; moreover, different bending conditions can modulate its sensitivity and selectivity for these gases and vapors.

Nanoscopic gel particle for intra-articular injection formulation.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) based nanogels showed effective intracellular delivery efficacy for anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory drugs, characterized by their ability targeting relevant cell receptors. In the present study, we demonstrate the ability of hyaluronic acid-polyethyleneimine (HA-PEI) nanogels as a promising dual-functional interfacial active for intra-articular injection to intervene arthritis. Nanomechanical measurements on both model substrates and human cartilage samples confirm that the HA-PEI nanogels can significantly improve interfacial lubrication, in comparison to HA molecules, or silica-based nanoparticles.
