BACKGROUND Intravascular continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) may facilitate glycemic control in the intensive care unit (ICU). We compared the accuracy of a CGM device (OptiScanner®) with a standard reference method. METHODS Adult patients who had blood glucose (BG) levels >150 mg/dl and required insertion of an arterial and central venous catheter were included. The OptiScanner® was inserted...

Ikkinchi jahon urushining dastlabki kunlaridanoq Qoraqalpog‘iston ASSR xalqi front va orqasida faol ishtirok etib, qahramonlarcha jang qildilar. Urushdan keyingi davrlarda harakatlarida jarohatlangan nogironlarni ijtimoiy jihatdan muhofaza qilish uchun ko‘plab muhim ishlar amalga oshirildi. Mazkur maqolada maydonlarida kurashib, o‘z jonini ayamagan mard, jasur qoraqalpog‘istonlik askarlarning o...

Vietnam is a major pork producing country in Asia, but the pig farmers’ livelihood was threatened by the pig disease; Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS). Data obtained from Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Statistics Division (FAOSTAT), World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and Information Center of Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MAR...

Mard-abad calc-alkaline granite formed along the margin of active pull-apart or intra-continental plates, and it is post-collision granite type. Granophyric, perthitic and myrmekitic are main textures that could form from crystallization of hypersolvus source magma, which occurred under water vapor pressure of approximately 2 kb. During this study the temperature of formation of these granites ...

L ast year we said goodbye to Ian Whittle whom we thank for all his hard work and welcome Peter Warnke from Liverpool as our new Associate Editor for Neurosurgery. We also say goodbye to many members of the editorial board and welcome new faces. The vitality of the journal rests with its reviewers and authors. We listed our reviewers in the December issue and reiterate our thanks to them. With ...

Background: The Equivital (EQ02) is a multi-parameter telemetric device offering both real-time and/or retrospective, synchronized monitoring of ECG, HR, and HRV, respiration, activity, and temperature. Unlike the Holter, which is the gold standard for continuous ECG measurement, EQO2 continuously monitors ECG via electrodes interwoven in the textile of a wearable belt. Objective: To compare EQ...

BACKGROUND The validity of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is well established in diabetic patients. CGM is also increasingly used for research purposes in normo-glycemic individuals, but the CGM validity in such individuals is unknown. We studied the accuracy of CGM measurements in normo-glycemic individuals by comparing CGM-derived versus venous blood-derived glucose levels and measures o...

OBJECTIVE Frequent glucose monitoring may improve glycaemic control in critically ill patients with diabetes. We aimed to assess the accuracy of a novel subcutaneous flash glucose monitor (FreeStyle Libre [Abbott Diabetes Care]) in these patients. METHODS We applied the FreeStyle Libre sensor to the upper arm of eight patients with diabetes in the intensive care unit and obtained hourly flash...

BACKGROUND In children with type 1 diabetes, intensive diabetes management has been demonstrated to reduce long-term microvascular complications. At present, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) by patients at home and glycated hemoglobin estimation every 3 months are used to monitor glycemic control in children. Recently, ambulatory glucose profile (AGP) is increasingly being used to study ...
