Diabetology 4.0: Scoping Review of Novel Insights and Possibilities Offered by Digitalization

New Possibilities Offered by IPv6

The new Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) [1] has many simplifications and new features compared to the older Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) [2]. The new header is very simple. A fixed format is assigned to all headers. Some new fields were added to the header. Flow ID indicates that the packet belongs to a certain flow. A flow is identified by the source address, destination address, and ...

Insights Offered by Economic Analyses

Economic analyses may be used to describe the costs of health care programs and to ensure that value is obtained for the money spent. This issue of Diabetes Care includes three economic analyses. The first describes the incremental costs of diabetes over a lifetime and highlights how interventions to prevent diabetes may reduce lifetime costs (1). The second demonstrates that although an expens...

Assessment 100% Supported by ICT: Possibilities Offered and Risks

Advances in Scientific Possibilities Offered by Real-Time Monitoring Technology.

There has been a marked increase in research aimed at studying dynamic (e.g., day-to-day, moment-to-moment) changes in mental disorders and related behavior problems. Indeed, the number of scientific papers published that focus on real-time monitoring has been nearly doubling every five years for the past several decades. These methods allow for a more fine-grained description of phenomena of i...

Possibilities offered by implantable miniaturized cuff-electrodes for insect neurophysiology

Recent advances in microsystems technology led to a miniaturization of cuff-electrodes, which suggests these electrodes not just for long-term neuronal recordings in mammalians, but also in medium-sized insects. In this study we investigated the possibilities offered by cuff-electrodes for neuroethology using insects as a model organism. The implantation in the neck of a tropical bushcricket re...
