Flash glucose monitoring in type 2 diabetes managed with basal insulin in the USA: a retrospective real-world chart review study and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Evidence supporting use of continuous glucose monitoring in type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin is unclear. This real-world study aimed to assess the impact on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of flash glucose monitoring use in adults with type 2 diabetes managed with basal insulin.

Research Design And Methods: Medical records were reviewed for adult individuals with type 2 diabetes using basal insulin for ≥1 year with or without additional antihyperglycemic medication, HbA1c 8.

Specular reflection contributions to dynamic radiation forces on highly reflecting spheres (L).

Specular reflection contributions to dynamic radiation forces were recently mentioned for highly reflecting spheres to facilitate comparison with forces on cylinders [Marston, Daniel, Fortuner, Kirsteins, and Abawi, J. Acoust. Soc.

Specular-reflection contributions to static and dynamic radiation forces on circular cylinders.

Interest in the response of highly reflecting objects in water to modulated acoustical radiation forces makes it appropriate to consider contributions to such forces from perfectly reflecting objects to provide insight into radiation forces. The acoustic illumination can have wavelengths much smaller than the object's size, and objects of interest may have complicated shapes. Here, the specular contribution to the oscillating radiation force on an infinite circular cylinder at normal incidence is considered for double-sideband-suppressed carrier-modulated acoustic illumination.

Syntheses and solid-state structures of two cofacial (bis)dipyrrin dichromium complexes in different charge states.

The dichromium Pacman complex (dmx)CrCl·CHO (1) [(dmx)H is a dimethylxanthene-bridged cofacial (bis)dipyrrin, CHNO] was synthesized by salt metathesis using anhydrous CrCl and previously reported (dmx)K. Treatment of 1 with two equivalents of the reductant potassium graphite afforded K(dmx)CrCl(thf)·0.5CHO·0.

Maxwell stress excitation of wire vibrations at difference and sum frequencies of electric currents in separate circuits.

Oscillating electric currents through a wire under tension can excite transverse vibrational modes of the wire when a perpendicular static magnetic field is present and the frequency of the current is close to the natural frequency of the mode of interest. The excitation of the mode is associated with temporally oscillating Maxwell stresses on the wire, often also known as oscillating Lorentz forces. That excitation process is sometimes demonstrated in educational contexts.

A Pilot Study to Assess Clinical Utility and User Experience of Professional Continuous Glucose Monitoring Among People With Type 2 Diabetes.

Glucose variability is a potential independent risk factor of poor clinical outcome among people with diabetes, with adequate measurement technically difficult and cumbersome. For this study, a novel 14-day continuous sensor was used to assess glucose variability among people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim was to characterize glucose profiles for up to 2 weeks in T2D and to survey device utilization in a standard clinical setting and its potential to collect clinically meaningful data.

Bessel beam expansion of linear focused ultrasound.

Previous work on scattering by Bessel beams shows that expansion of incident sound fields in term of these beams has application to scattering [P. L. Marston, J.

Observation and modeling of acoustic scattering from a rubber spherical shell.

Acoustic backscattering from a rubber spherical shell in water is observed to contain a delayed enhancement, demonstrated to be associated with a waveguide path along the shell. This path is somewhat analogous to that of the Lamb wave observed on metallic shells. Rubber is a unique material because of its subsonic sound speed relative to water, and because shear coupling is often small enough to be neglected in typical models, making it fluid-like.
