Objectives: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an emerging neuromodulation technique. The effect of tDCS can vary significantly depending on electrode position and current intensity, making it crucial to find an optimized tDCS montage. However, because of the high computational load, most tDCS optimization approaches have been performed with a limited number of candidates for electrode positions, such as 10-10 or 10-20 international channel configurations. This study introduced the Bayesian optimization and hyperband (BOHB) method to seek optimal tDCS montage for the entire human scalp without conventional constraints.
Materials And Methods: The BOHB method is a probabilistic approach that iteratively refines the selection of the optimal montage on the basis of previous results. To determine the suitability of this approach for tDCS simulation, we compared it with random search, which randomly selects montages, and greedy search, which, considers all candidates. Next, the conditions in the greedy search were used as the initial conditions for BOHB for fast learning. The objective function of tDCS optimization was set to maximize the average electric field norm (|E|) in the region of interest (ROI), which is the motor area (M1) and left dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex.
Results: The BOHB method performed better than the conventional random search for the same number of iterations in both ROIs. For M1, the iteration index yielding the maximum evaluation metric in each trial was statistically smaller in the BOHB method than in the random search (p < 0.0001). Regarding the normalized |E|, the BOHB method showed a higher normalized |E| than did the random search for the M1 region.
Conclusions: The BOHB method performed better than did the random search approach. Thus, the BOHB method is feasible for tDCS optimization and can be used as an optimal stimulation montage seeker by fine-tuning some control parameters.

Introduction: Education and management of children with new-onset or established diabetes mellitus (DM) requiring insulin initiation do not always require hospitalization. We developed a pathway for outpatient day treatment of select patients after initial evaluation in the emergency department (ED) at a pediatric, tertiary care academic medical center.
Methods: A multidisciplinary team identified key initial eligibility criteria for outpatient day treatment for insulin initiation, including absence of diabetic ketoacidosis, age ≥3 years, and plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) <1 mmol/L.

A new fluorescent ratiometric switch (BOHB) was developed for swift and selective detection of cyanide ions in aqueous media without any interference from other competitive anions. Upon gradual addition of cyanide ions into the probe solution, a prominent fluorescence color change from yellow to cyan was observed under a UV chamber. The fluorescence changes thus observed were ratiometric, and the detection limit of this new probe was found to be (22.

Objective: The Glucose in Well Babies (GLOW) Study showed that there are two phases of low glucose concentrations in healthy newborn infants: an initial phase in which plasma concentrations of ketones are low; and a second phase in which low glucose concentrations are accompanied by elevated concentrations of ketones. The implications of these two phases for the brain differ depending on whether ketones are available as alternative substrate for brain metabolism. The purpose of this study was to estimate the duration of these two phases of neonatal low glucose concentrations in 66 healthy breastfed newborns from the GLOW Study during the first 5 days of life.

Background: An increasing number of individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) manage glycemia with insulin pumps containing short-acting insulin. If insulin delivery is interrupted for even a few hours due to pump or infusion site malfunction, the resulting insulin deficiency can rapidly initiate ketogenesis and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
Methods: To detect an event of accidental cessation of insulin delivery, we propose the design of ketone-based alert system (K-AS).
