Adding a Brief Continuous Glucose Monitoring Intervention to the National Diabetes Prevention Program: A Multimethod Feasibility Study.

The National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) promotes lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes. However, only one-third of DPP participants achieve weight loss goals, and changes in diet are limited. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has shown potential to raise awareness about the effects of diet and activity on glucose among people with diabetes, yet the feasibility of including CGM in behavioral interventions for people with prediabetes has not been explored.

A "Dry Tap" in Prosthetic Joint Infection Workup of Total Hip Arthroplasty Is Not Reassuring.

Background: Synovial fluid analysis is important in diagnosing prosthetic joint infection (PJI). The rate of culture-positive PJI in patients who have a dry tap of a total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not well described.

Methods: We reviewed all image-guided THA aspirations, performed from 2014 to 2021 at a single academic institution.

Use of Biological Feedback as a Health Behavior Change Technique in Adults: Scoping Review.

Background: Recent advancements in personal biosensing technology support the shift from standardized to personalized health interventions, whereby biological data are used to motivate health behavior change. However, the implementation of interventions using biological feedback as a behavior change technique has not been comprehensively explored.

Objective: The purpose of this review was to (1) map the domains of research where biological feedback has been used as a behavior change technique and (2) describe how it is implemented in behavior change interventions for adults.

Exploring the Impact of Dawn Phenomenon on Glucose-Guided Eating Thresholds in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring: Observational Study.

Background: Glucose-guided eating (GGE) improves metabolic markers of chronic disease risk, including insulin resistance, in adults without diabetes. GGE is a timed eating paradigm that relies on experiencing feelings of hunger and having a preprandial glucose level below a personalized threshold computed from 2 consecutive morning fasting glucose levels. The dawn phenomenon (DP), which results in elevated morning preprandial glucose levels, could cause typically derived GGE thresholds to be unacceptable or ineffective among people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Effect of frequency and rhythmicity on flicker light-induced hallucinatory phenomena.

Flicker light stimulation (FLS) uses stroboscopic light on closed eyes to induce transient visual hallucinatory phenomena, such as the perception of geometric patterns, motion, and colours. It remains an open question where the neural correlates of these hallucinatory experiences emerge along the visual pathway. To allow future testing of suggested underlying mechanisms (e.
