Article Abstract
Background & Objective: Type-1 diabetics (T1D) usually do not meet guidelines for glycaemic control. This study aimed to determine the benefit of free style libre-flash glucose monitoring system (FSL-FGM) in lowering glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in poorly controlled T1D patients.
Methods: This prospective two single arm clinical study included 273 T1D patients, and data collected at one, six and 18 months with concomitant extraction of samples for HbA1c basal and at six and 18 months. The study was conducted in Prince Mansour Military Hospital at Taif, Saudi Arabia from June 2017 to November 2018.
Results: HbA1c % was significantly diminished in patients used FSL-FGM at 6 and 18 months. The median percentage difference in HbA1c at 6 and 18 months versus basal was significantly decreased in those using FSL-FGM. Within diabetics using FSL-FGM, the median difference in HbA1c after 18 months was significantly decreased in patients with HbA1c >10% compared to those with HbA1c <10%. Estimated HbA1c by FSL showed a significant correlation with HbA1C assayed in the blood. The snapshot information showed a highly significant difference in average glucose with low significant difference in hypoglycemia parameters. The FSL-FGM provides significant changes in HbA1c in diabetic patients without observed risk for hypoglycemia.
Conclusions: The dynamic way of blood glucose monitoring using FSL-FGM provides improvement in HbA1c in diabetic patients without observed risk for hypoglycemia.

The existence of free will has been called into question by Benjamin Libet's seminal experiment, who argued that our conscious decision is preceded by an unconscious decision reflected in the readiness potential (RP). Alternatively, it has been argue that the RP rather reflects a decision process in which different signals accumulate until they reach the intention threshold, at which point an agent experience their intention simultaneously. This raises the question what type of signal is accumulated given that no external information is provided.

Introduction: Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) often experience prolonged hospitalisations and are almost entirely reliant on the foodservices provided by these facilities for their nutrition and hydration needs. However, the impact of foodservice systems and dining models on patients with SCI remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate foodservice systems and practices employed across spinal inpatient facilities.

Objective: Culturally targeted narrative education is a promising approach to cancer prevention and control. This study evaluates the uptake of genetic counseling and testing (GCT) in Latinas at risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancers (HBOC) after watching a culturally targeted narrative video and being navigated to GCT services.
Methods: Latina women at increased risk for HBOC were recruited through community-based organizations.

Background: Pollen Typhae (PT), a traditional Chinese medicine herb utilized in diabetes management, exerts anti-inflammatory effects through its flavonoids, yet the active constituents and mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: PT total flavone (PTF) was extracted from PT and identified the compounds by UHPLC-MS. Network pharmacology and molecular docking were used to predict the underlying targets and anti-inflammatory mechanisms of PTF.
