Trends in Intermittent Scanning Continuous Glucose Monitoring Usage in The Netherlands-An Opportunity for Elderly Individuals with Diabetes.

Intermittent scanning continuous glucose monitoring (is-CGM) technology has gained widespread adoption and is known to improve glycemic control and quality of life for persons with diabetes. The elderly may lag behind in their adoption of the technology, which could be a potential avenue for improving quality of care. In this study, we investigated the adoption of is-CGM technology in the Dutch population, including effects of age.

Apomixis at a high resolution: unravelling diplospory in Asteraceae.

Apomictic plants are able to produce clonal seeds. This reproductive system allows the one-step fixation of any valuable trait for subsequent generations and would pave the way for a revolution in the agricultural system. Despite that, the introduction of apomixis in sexually reproducing crops has been hampered due to the difficulty in characterising its genetic regulation.

High Frequency of Severe Hyperglycemia Observed During Intensive Hematologic Care: A Prospective Study Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring.

Objective: During intensive hematologic care, patients are exposed to high-dose chemotherapy, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and total parenteral nutrition. Combined with physiologic stress and increased release of cytokines and hormones, this can lead to dysglycemia, which is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. This prospective study aimed to investigate continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to identify dysglycemia during intensive hematologic care.

Cross-sectional screening for inflammation in tinnitus with near-normal hearing.

Tinnitus is the perception of sound without an external stimulus. Recently, inflammation has been implicated in the pathophysiology of tinnitus. In tinnitus animal models, cytokine levels are increased throughout the whole auditory pathway, and microglia and astrocytes are activated.

Sound Measurements in Pulsatile Tinnitus: A Review in 171 Patients.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic application of external ear canal sound measurements in pulsatile tinnitus (PT).

Study Design: Retrospective chart review on a prospective series of sound measurements.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.
