The Diabetes Technology Society Error Grid and Trend Accuracy Matrix for Glucose Monitors.
J Diabetes Sci Technol
November 2024
University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- An error grid is a tool that helps compare glucose levels measured by devices to see if they are correct and to identify any risks.
- Experts created a new error grid called the DTS Error Grid that works for both blood glucose monitors (BGMs) and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), organizing accuracy into five risk zones.
- The results showed that the DTS Error Grid provides a clearer picture of how accurate these devices are and includes a separate matrix to evaluate how well CGMs track glucose trends over time.

There are many types of cysts in the leg; the most common is a popliteal (Baker's) cyst. This occurs when synovial fluid fills the tissue plane between the medial head of the gastrocnemius and the semimembranosus muscle and is often associated with intraarticular knee pathology. Treatment for various types of cysts includes aspiration with or without fenestration, injections with corticosteroids, dextrose, or various sclerosing agents, and surgical excision.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a common cardiomyopathy in children, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Early recognition and appropriate management are important. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is often used as a screening tool in children to detect heart disease.

Introduction Standard valuation methods, such as TTO and DCE are inefficient. They require data from hundreds if not thousands of participants to generate value sets. Here, we present the Online elicitation of Personal Utility Functions (OPUF) tool; a new type of online survey for valuing EQ-5D-5L health states using more efficient, compositional elicitation methods, which even allow estimating value sets on the individual level.

Background: Epigenetic dysregulation has been proposed as a key mechanism for arsenic-related cardiovascular disease (CVD). We evaluated differentially methylated positions (DMPs) as potential mediators on the association between arsenic and CVD.
Methods: Blood DNA methylation was measured in 2321 participants (mean age 56.
Menopausal Estrogen-Alone Therapy and Health Outcomes in Women With and Without Bilateral Oophorectomy: A Randomized Trial.
Ann Intern Med
September 2019
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington (A.K.A., G.L.A., R.L.P.).
Background: Whether health outcomes of menopausal estrogen therapy differ between women with and without bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) is unknown.
Objective: To examine estrogen therapy outcomes by BSO status, with additional stratification by 10-year age groups.
Design: Subgroup analyses of the randomized Women's Health Initiative Estrogen-Alone Trial.
Novel genetic associations for blood pressure identified via gene-alcohol interaction in up to 570K individuals across multiple ancestries.
PLoS One
January 2019
The Framingham Heart Study, Framingham, Massachusetts, United States of America.
Heavy alcohol consumption is an established risk factor for hypertension; the mechanism by which alcohol consumption impact blood pressure (BP) regulation remains unknown. We hypothesized that a genome-wide association study accounting for gene-alcohol consumption interaction for BP might identify additional BP loci and contribute to the understanding of alcohol-related BP regulation. We conducted a large two-stage investigation incorporating joint testing of main genetic effects and single nucleotide variant (SNV)-alcohol consumption interactions.

Left ventricular mass (LVM) has been shown to serve as a measure of target organ damage resulting from chronic exposure to several risk factors. Data on the association of midlife LVM with later cognitive performance are sparse. We studied 721 adults (mean age 56 years at baseline) enrolled in the Strong Heart Study (SHS, 1993-1995) and the ancillary CDCAI (Cerebrovascular Disease and Its Consequences in American Indians) Study (2010-2013), a study population with high prevalence of cardiovascular disease.

Background: Reproductive factors provide an early window into a woman's coronary heart disease (CHD) risk; however, their contribution to CHD risk stratification is uncertain.
Methods And Results: In the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, we constructed Cox proportional hazards models for CHD including age, pregnancy status, number of live births, age at menarche, menstrual irregularity, age at first birth, stillbirths, miscarriages, infertility ≥1 year, infertility cause, and breastfeeding. We next added each candidate reproductive factor to an established CHD risk factor model.

Background: While progestin addition to estrogen mitigates endometrial cancer risk, the magnitude of the effect on incidence, specific endometrial cancer histologies, and endometrial cancer mortality remains unsettled. These issues were assessed by analyses after extended follow-up of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) randomized clinical trial evaluating continuous combined estrogen plus progestin use.
Methods: The WHI enrolled 16 608 postmenopausal women into a randomly assigned, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Applied osmotic loading for promoting development of engineered cartilage.

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Columbia University, New York, NY, USA.
This study investigated the potential use of static osmotic loading as a cartilage tissue engineering strategy for growing clinically relevant grafts from either synovium-derived stem cells (SDSCs) or chondrocytes. Bovine SDSCs and chondrocytes were individually encapsulated in 2% w/v agarose and divided into chondrogenic media of osmolarities 300 (hypotonic), 330 (isotonic), and 400 (hypertonic, physiologic) mOsM for up to 7 weeks. The application of hypertonic media to constructs comprised of SDSCs or chondrocytes led to increased mechanical properties as compared to hypotonic (300mOsM) or isotonic (330mOsM) media (p<0.

Department of Medical Physics, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York 10021, USA.
Unlabelled: This article describes a method of assessing the biologic consequences of nonuniform dose distributions produced in tumors by biologically targeted radionuclide therapy. The analysis is based on a simple mathematical model that assumes all tumor cells are uniformly radiosensitive.
Methods: Using the linear-quadratic radiobiologic model, it is possible to represent an absorbed dose distribution by a biologically effective dose (BED) volume histogram (BVH).
