Wearable sensors show potential for T1D sensing with informative parameters
Commercially available, wearable technology can improve its sensing ability of physiological signals in the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) with additional, informative biomarkers, which can be observed noninvasively and continuously, suggests a recent study.

What are the ideal thresholds for ASTP, toe-brachial index in diabetic foot screening?
In diabetic foot screening (DFS), both absolute systolic toe pressure (ASTP) and toe-brachial index (TBI) can detect ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI)-determined peripheral arterial disease (PAD), results of a Singapore study have shown. The optimal threshold values derived from a multiethnic Asian diabetic population are <0.7 for TBI and <95.5 mm Hg for ASTP.

Obesity med cessation more likely after RYGB than sleeve gastrectomy
Patients who are on obesity-related medications before undergoing bariatric surgery may be more likely to discontinue their medications and less likely to restart them after undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) than laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), a recent study has shown.
