Design of an mHealth app for the self-management of adolescent type 1 diabetes: a pilot study.

Background: The use of mHealth apps has shown improved health outcomes in adult populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, this has not been shown in the adolescent type 1 population, despite their predisposition to the use of technology. We hypothesized that a more tailored approach and a strong adherence mechanism is needed for this group.

Who will demand access to their personal health record? A focus on the users of health services and what they want.

3C have a constant need to manage their own personal healthcare. This requires managing information related to their conditions. Given that the nature of healthcare is information intensive, effective management requires much more than simply providing patients with access to their electronic health record within a hospital-based system.

Changes in human muscle transverse relaxation following short-term creatine supplementation.

The rapid increase in body mass that often occurs following creatine (Cr) supplementation is believed to be due to intracellular water retention. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Cr consumption alters the magnetic resonance (MR) transverse relaxation (T(2)) distribution of skeletal muscle. Transverse relaxation can be used to model water compartments within a cell or tissue.
