Purpose: Traditional visual acuity (VA) measurements depend on subjective responses, which can be unreliable, especially with uncooperative participants. Objective measurements with visual evoked potentials (VEP) address this issue but can overestimate VA in amblyopia. This study aims to establish the P300 component of the event-related potential as an objective VA test for amblyopia and compare its performance to subjective (psychophysical) and VEP-based VA estimates.

- Helicopter hoist operations (HHO) are crucial for conducting rescue missions in Germany's challenging mid-range mountain terrains, especially for outdoor sports-related injuries.
- A study analyzing HHO missions from 2020 to 2022 found 410 rescue cases, with 304 suitable for statistical analysis, revealing a peak in summer and on weekends with 75% of cases linked to trauma.
- The analysis indicated that many patients were in severe conditions requiring invasive treatments, and different air rescue bases employed varying tactics, affecting the efficiency of their missions.
Aims: Continuous glucose measurement (CGM) systems are increasingly utilised by people with diabetes mellitus (DM) and less is known about usage behaviour. Therefore, this study aims to analyse additionally utilisation of blood glucose measurement (BGM) for insurants who are using CGM.
Methods: The study used secondary data, health claims data from the AOK Saxony-Anhalt (Germany), from 2016 to 2021, analysing a sample of 52,296 individuals with insulin-requiring DM.
