Article Synopsis
- Type 2 diabetes patients often struggle with adhering to their individual care plans due to issues like accessibility and poor integration with their lives.
- This study evaluated how community pharmacists can improve patient adherence by acting as case managers and utilizing telemedicine for specific health check-ups directly in the pharmacy.
- Results showed that adherence to the care plans significantly increased, waiting times for exams were reduced, and clinical outcomes, such as blood sugar and cholesterol levels, improved, leading to better overall patient satisfaction and potential cost savings.
Spinning is one of the most effective and well-known ways to reduce polarization mode dispersion of optical fibers. In spite of the popularity of spinning, a detailed theory of spin effects is still lacking. We report an analytical expression for the mean differential group delay of a randomly birefringent spun fiber.

We show that in the long length regime the mean differential group delay of constantly spun fibers grows linearly with distance at the same rate as for unspun fibers. Conversely, the short length regime of constantly spun fibers may be much longer, even for limited spin rates.
