The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two monitoring schemes(blood and urine) in the metabolic control of type 1 diabetic patients, in biweekly therapeutic adjustments, along 6 months of participation in the educational groups. A sample of 34 patients was divided in two groups. The interventions proposed to group A were daily blood glucose monitoring, during three consecutive days for each period (before breakfast, before lunch, before dinner and before bed) and biweekly in the dawn. For the other group B was proposed daily urine glucose monitoring, during three consecutive days for each period (before breakfast, before lunch, before dinner and before bed). These schemes were used to construct glycemic profile and to determine the therapeutic adjustments. The results evidenced that there was no significant statistical difference in the metabolic control after proposed intervention in each group. In spite of this, the monitoring facilitated the educational process and the considerations about the use of more intensive monitoring schemes.

The efficient readout of the relevant information is pivotal for quantum simulation experiments. Often only single observables are accessed by performing standard projective measurements. In this work, we implement an atomic beam splitter by controlled outcoupling that enables a generalized measurement scheme.

Combination immune checkpoint inhibitors (nivolumab and ipilimumab) are currently a first-line treatment for mesothelioma; however, not all patients respond. The efficacy of treatment is influenced by the tumor microenvironment. Murine mesothelioma tumors were irritated with various radiotherapy doses.

As one of the core parts of the Internet-of-things (IOTs), multimodal sensors have exhibited great advantages in fields such as human-machine interaction, electronic skin, and environmental monitoring. However, current multimodal sensors substantially introduce a bloated equipment architecture and a complicated decoupling mechanism. In this work we propose a multimodal fusion sensing platform based on a power-dependent piecewise linear decoupling mechanism, allowing four parameters to be perceived and decoded from the passive wireless single component, which greatly broadens the configurable freedom of a sensor in the IOT.

Bridges in mining areas deform primarily because of surface subsidence caused by underground mining. Analysis of these deformations should consider the synergistic effects between the foundation soil and the bridge superstructure. The geology of mining areas, which is inherently complex, significantly effects the selection of soil mechanics parameters, potentially leading to errors in model calculations.

Background: Ticks are prominent vectors of numerous pathogens that adversely affect human and animal health. Monitoring tick population dynamics is key in developing ideal tick-borne disease surveillance systems and critical vector control programmes. This study aimed to conduct the morphological and molecular characterization of ticks infesting domesticated goats in Kerala, India.
