Objective: To structure a proposal for implementing and monitoring the nursing care protocol for the safety of adult patients with external ventricular drains.
Method: Descriptive exploratory research based on Implementation Science, with intentional sampling. Carried out in a hospital complex in southern Brazil, between May and December 2022, in four stages: online questionnaire on knowledge of care for patients with external ventricular shunt for nurses; matrix of proposed indicators with key actors; self-instructional online course for nurses; synthesis of the existing protocol.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate parents' experiences with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for their young children who have early-stage type 1 diabetes enrolled in the ENDIA study.
- - A total of nine parents participated in semi-structured phone interviews after a CGM monitoring period, highlighting three key themes: empowerment through information, acceptance of CGM use, and the benefits of involvement in research.
- - Results showed that parents had a positive experience with their children's use of CGM, feeling supported and less uncertain about managing their child's diabetes with the valuable data provided by the monitoring.
Objectives: Children with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) from different ethnic backgrounds are growing in proportion in clinical practice and tend to have a higher risk of poor health outcomes. The study aimed to investigate the perspectives of culturally and linguistically diverse families in the management of children with T1D in Western Australia.
Design: A generic qualitative approach was used.
The optimal time to bolus insulin for meals is challenging for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Current guidelines to control glucose excursions do not account for individual differences in glycaemic responses to meals. This study aimed to examine the within- and between-person variability in time to peak (TTP) glycaemic responses after consuming meals under controlled and free-living conditions.

To mitigate these impacts, blood was stored at 4 °C prior to processing. Viable cell number, viability, immune phenotype, and Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) release were measured.

Objective: Investigate the effects of fat and protein on glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), glucagon-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon secretion.
