Effects of atmospheric pressure change during flight on insulin pump delivery and glycaemic control of pilots with insulin-treated diabetes: an in vitro simulation and a retrospective observational real-world study.
Diabetologia
January 2025
Faculty of Health and Medical Science, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how atmospheric pressure changes during flights can influence insulin delivery from pumps in people with type 1 diabetes, potentially leading to issues like hypoglycaemia.
- - An in vitro flight simulation mimicking airline conditions revealed that insulin pumps can over-deliver and under-deliver insulin at different stages of flight, particularly significant during emergency decompression scenarios.
- - Real-world data from pilots using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) showed that insulin levels remained stable with only a small percentage of blood glucose readings falling outside the safe range, indicating effective management while flying.

J Cancer Educ
June 2024
Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Background: Awareness could play a key role in reducing underdiagnosis and accelerating referral of childhood cancer in low- and middle-income countries and ultimately improve outcomes. This study describes the implementation of a childhood cancer awareness program in Bungoma County in Kenya, containing five components: (1) baseline data collection of primary healthcare facilities; (2) live training session for healthcare providers (HCP); (3) early warning signs posters; (4) online SMS course for HCP; and (5) radio campaign.
Methods: This study was conducted between January and June 2023.
Education to improve timeliness of shingles diagnosis in primary care: a cluster randomised study within a trial with nested qualitative study.
Br J Gen Pract
September 2024
Bristol Medical School, University of Bristol, Bristol.
Background: Herpes zoster (shingles) is normally diagnosed clinically. Timely diagnosis is important so that antiviral treatment can be started soon after rash onset.
Aim: To assess whether a practice-level educational intervention, aimed at non-clinical patient-facing staff, improves the timely assessment of patients with shingles.
Exposure to alcohol advertising and alcohol consumption among children and early teenagers in South Africa.
BMC Res Notes
July 2023
Centre for advocacy on drugs and substance abuse, Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
Background: There is a paucity of information on alcohol adverts on alcohol consumption among early teenagers. The study aimed to examine the association between exposure to alcohol adverts and alcohol consumption.
Methods: A sample of 3833 early teenagers aged 12-14 years were extracted from the South African National HIV Prevalence, HIV Incidence, Behaviour and Communication Survey (SABSSM) 2017.
