AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the use of head-mounted displays (HMD) for real-time monitoring during transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURB) by six patients.
- Following the procedure, patients filled out a questionnaire assessing their understanding of their disease and their satisfaction with the HMD experience.
- Results showed that viewing the operation through the HMD improved patients' understanding of their condition and overall satisfaction with the process.
Article Abstract
We present an application of head-mounted display (HMD) to patient's self-monitoring of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB). Six patients wore the HMD as an imaging monitor to view the operation in real-time during their TURB. Following the operation, the patients completed a questionnaire that evaluates understanding of the state of their disease and satisfaction with the HMD. As a result, monitoring the operation in real time through the HMD helped to increase patients' understanding of the state of their disease and satisfaction. For selected patients, the use of HMD could help to increase the patient's understanding of their disease.

Impact of Flash Glucose Monitoring in Adults with Inherited Metabolic Disorders at Risk of Hypoglycemia.

Background: This study addresses hypoglycemia in adults with inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs), highlighting the importance of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM). Despite the elevated risk of hypoglycemia in an important group of these diseases, the use of isCGM remains uncommon and there is limited evidence supporting its effectiveness.
Methods: A longitudinal quasi-experimental study was performed in 18 adults with IMDs, evaluating the use of isCGM for 2 months.
Compact Quantum Cascade Laser-Based Noninvasive Glucose Sensor Upgraded with Direct Comb Data-Mining.

Mid-infrared spectral analysis has long been recognized as the most accurate noninvasive blood glucose measurement method, yet no practical compact mid-infrared blood glucose sensor has ever passed the accuracy benchmark set by the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA): to substitute for the finger-pricking glucometers in the market, a new sensor must first show that 95% of their glucose measurements have errors below 15% of these glucometers. Although recent innovative exploitations of the well-established Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy have reached such FDA accuracy benchmarks, an FTIR spectrometer is too bulky. The advancements of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) can lead to FTIR spectrometers of reduced size, but compact QCL-based noninvasive blood glucose sensors are not yet available.

We present a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a variant hemoglobin whose HbA1c levels were falsely elevated regardless of the measurement method [high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), enzymatic, and immuno-assay] used. The causes of the falsely high HbA1c levels in this patient were investigated. The patient was a 73-year-old man with frequent hypoglycemia on self-monitoring of blood glucose, whose HbA1c level when measured by HPLC (standard mode) and immunoassay was substantially higher than that predicted by continuous blood glucose monitoring or from the patient's glycated albumin level.

To evaluate the accuracy of home self-monitoring portable blood glucose meters, we analyzed the current problems of patients using portable blood glucose meters and put forward reasonable suggestions. A self-designed questionnaire was used to survey 142 patients and 132 healthcare professionals. The questionnaire consisted of 16 items with an overall score ranging from 1 to 13 (with a higher score indicating better experience).

Background: The phase angle (PhA) in bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) reflects the cell membrane integrity or body fluid equilibrium. We examined how the PhA aligns with previously known markers of acute heart failure (HF) and assessed its value as a screening tool.
Methods: PhA was measured in 50 patients with HF and 20 non-HF controls along with the edema index (EI), another BIA parameter suggestive of edema.
