Article Synopsis
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has changed diabetes management, leading to a consensus on clinical targets based on eight key metrics for interpreting CGM data.
- To assess glycemic control, it's recommended to use data from at least 70% of 14 consecutive days, but the study explores the potential to accurately gauge these metrics with fewer days of data (intra-period) and across two consecutive periods (inter-period).
- The findings show that while metrics like time in range (TIR) remain fairly accurate with less data, critical metrics for infrequent events, such as time below range (TBR), showed significant deviations, underscoring the need for caution in clinical decisions based on limited CGM data.
Background: Clinical trials often suffer from recruitment barriers and poor adherence, which increases costs and affects trial outcomes.
Objective: To investigate the feasibility of Decentralized Clinical Trial (DCT) design elements to recruit, enroll, and engage patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: Patients with T2DM were recruited through a pharmacy and online recruitment using advert on Facebook, to 3 weeks monitoring of glucose and behaviometric parameters.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between bicycle helmet use and safety behavior at signalized intersections. Two hypotheses were investigated: The first states that bicycle helmet use leads to risker behavior because of the increased sense of protection (risk compensation), the other states that helmeted cyclists have a general inclination toward safer behavior (safety package) and that helmet use is one of several behaviors for improving safety.
Method: Based on video recordings of 1031 cyclists at 12 signalized intersections in Denmark, two indicators of risky behavior were compared between helmeted and unhelmeted cyclists: Speed and time after the onset of yellow at which the cyclists crossed the stop line.
Background: Patient support apps have risen in popularity and provide novel opportunities for self-management of diabetes. Such apps offer patients to play an active role in monitoring their condition, thereby increasing their own treatment responsibility. Although many health apps require active user engagement to be effective, there is little evidence exploring engagement with mobile health (mHealth).

Recent improvements and availability in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology have enabled various possibilities to monitor diabetes treatment. Detection of missed once-daily basal insulin injections can be used to provide feedback to patients, thus improving their diabetes management.

Methods: Adult (n = 105) and adolescent (n = 25) participants performed insulin pump preparations using a prefilled insulin cartridge and self-filled insulin reservoir. User satisfaction, insulin pump preparation time, and residual air in infusion set tubing were assessed for each insulin filling method.
Background: After a subcutaneous injection fluid might leak out of the skin, commonly referred to as leakage or backflow. The objective was to examine the influence of needle design and injection technique on leakage after injections in the subcutaneous tissue of humans and pigs.
Method: Leakage data were obtained from a post hoc analysis of clinical trial data and from a pig study.
Background: Clinicians are increasingly using point-of-care ultrasonography for bedside examinations of patients. However, proper training is needed in this technique, and it is unknown whether the skills learned from focused Ultrasonography courses are being transferred to diagnostic performance on patients.
Methods: Thirty-one physicians were randomized to participate in a focused Ultrasonography course or control circumstances before they examined 4 patients with different abdominal conditions by ultrasonography.
Objective: To explore the reliability and validity of the Objective Structured Assessment of Ultrasound Skills (OSAUS) scale for point-of-care ultrasonography (POC US) performance.
Background: POC US is increasingly used by clinicians and is an essential part of the management of acute surgical conditions. However, the quality of performance is highly operator-dependent.
Context: A well-suited e-learning program might be a feasible strategy to maintain competence following a resuscitation course.
Aim: This study had 2 aims: (1) to examine the effect of an e-learning program as a booster of competence acquired from an Advanced Life Support (ALS) course. (2) To identify factors related to the use of the e-learning program.
Context: The impact of clinical experience on learning outcome from a resuscitation course has not been systematically investigated.
Aim: To determine whether half a year of clinical experience before participation in an Advanced Life Support (ALS) course increases the immediate learning outcome and retention of learning.
Materials And Methods: This was a prospective single blinded randomised controlled study of the learning outcome from a standard ALS course on a volunteer sample of the entire cohort of newly graduated doctors from Copenhagen University.
Aim Of The Study: Several studies using a variety of assessment approaches have demonstrated that young doctors possess insufficient resuscitation competence. The aims of this study were to assess newly graduated doctors' resuscitation competence against an internationally recognised standard and to study whether teaching site affects their resuscitation competence.
Materials And Methods: The entire cohort of medical students from Copenhagen University expected to graduate in June 2006 was invited to participate in the study.
