Previously we have demonstrated that light can be used to control the release of insulin in diabetic animals, followed by a reduction in blood glucose. This is accomplished using a photoactivated depot (PAD) of insulin injected into the skin, and irradiated by a small external LED light source. In this work for the first time we demonstrate dose-response, showing that we can vary insulin release and commensurate blood glucose reduction by varying the amount of light administered. In addition to demonstrating dose-response, we have shown multi-day depot response, with insulin being released on two different days from the same depot. The material used in these studies was CD-insulin, a form of insulin that has a highly non-polar cyclododecyl group attached, markedly reducing the solubility of the modified material, and allowing it to form a depot upon injection. Upon photolysis, the cyclododecyl group is removed, releasing fully native, soluble insulin. Variable response and multi-day response as demonstrated strongly support the potential utility of the PAD approach for the variable and extended release of therapeutic peptides.

The effectiveness of rehabilitation is contingent upon the motor recovery process which typically involves long-term motor skill re-acquisition. Given that the learning process can be modulated by task difficulty, elucidating the underlying neural mechanism is essential for optimizing rehabilitation prescription to suit different patient conditions. This study aimed to investigate the impact of task difficulty on cortical response during force-control training via electroencephalography (EEG).

Article Synopsis
- Research lacks a standardized multi-day antiemetic regimen for chemotherapy, making it difficult to assess efficacy and safety.
- A comprehensive search revealed no direct comparisons between multi-day and single-day antiemetic regimens, with variations in study quality and treatment protocols hindering robust analysis.
- Preliminary findings indicate that three-drug combination therapies, particularly using aprepitant, may outperform two-drug regimens; further research is needed to better define antiemetic approaches for multi-day chemotherapy.
Multi-day vs single-day dexamethasone for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Over the past decade, several randomized controlled trials have compared single-day dexamethasone (dexamethasone-sparing) regimens to the current standard multi-day dexamethasone antiemetic regimen for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to compare the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone-sparing regimens to standard multi-day dexamethasone, used for the prophylaxis of CINV.

Background: Popularity of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and esophageal pressure (Pes) monitoring in the ICU is increasing, but there is uncertainty regarding their bedside use within a personalized ventilation strategy. We aimed to gather insights about the current experiences and perceived role of these physiological monitoring techniques, and to identify barriers and facilitators/solutions for EIT and Pes implementation.
Methods: Qualitative study involving (1) a survey targeted at ICU clinicians with interest in advanced respiratory monitoring and (2) an expert focus group discussion.

For individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, it is crucial to keep a record of the carbohydrates consumed during meals, as this should be done at least three times daily, amounting to an average of six meals. Unfortunately, many individuals tend to overlook this essential task. For those who use an artificial pancreas, carbohydrate intake proves to be a critical factor, as it can activate the insulin pump in the artificial pancreas to deliver insulin to the body.
