Article Abstract

Aims: The landscape of insulin delivery is evolving, transitioning from hybrid automated insulin delivery (AID) to more sophisticated fully AID systems. We aimed to compare the efficacy of fully AID systems with any insulin delivery method in type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Materials And Methods: Following registration in PROSPERO, CRD42024528669, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science were searched up to 26 February 2025 for randomised clinical trials comparing fully AID systems to any insulin delivery method in T1D. The control treatments included conventional insulin therapy (multiple daily injections, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and sensor-augmented pumps) and hybrid AID systems. The primary outcome was the mean difference (MD) in the percentage of time blood glucose concentration remained in the target range (3.9-10.0 mmol/L or 4.0-10.0 mmol/L), assessed by random-effects models.

Results: We identified 1308 reports; after exclusions, 16 trials (669 patients) were included. Time in range (TIR) was higher using fully AID systems than control treatments (MD 9.99% [95% confidence interval, 3.75% to 16.22%], p = 0.002). This improvement was accompanied by increased diabetes treatment satisfaction (MD 3.70 points [95% confidence interval, 0.22 points to 7.18 points], p = 0.04). Fully AID systems exhibited a favourable effect on TIR when compared with conventional insulin therapy, while exhibiting an opposite effect when compared with hybrid AID (17.44% vs. -3.05%, p < 0.001). Younger patients with T1D, as well as patients with a shorter diabetes duration, exhibited more significant glycaemic improvements with fully AID systems therapy.

Conclusions: Fully AID systems improved glycaemic control and diabetes treatment satisfaction compared with other non-AID methods in patients with T1D, especially for younger patients. However, to achieve or exceed the desired benefits of hybrid AID, algorithm upgradation, along with the synergistic integration of multiple hormones, will be crucial for next-generation fully AID systems.

Undesired ice accumulation on infrastructure and transportation systems leads to catastrophic events and significant economic losses. Although various anti-icing surfaces with photothermal effects can initially prevent icing, any thawy droplets remaining on the horizontal surface can quickly re-freezing once the light diminishes. To address these challenges, we have developed a self-draining slippery surface (SDSS) that enables the thawy droplets to self-remove on the horizontal surface, thereby facilitating real-time anti-icing with the aid of sunlight (100 mW cm).

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

In vitro assessment of the inhibitory effect of antiplatelet drugs on platelet aggregation is frequently employed to guide personalized antiplatelet therapy in clinical practice. However, existing methods for detecting platelet aggregation rely heavily on high concentrations of exogenous agonists, which may obscure part of the inhibitory effect of antiplatelet drugs and lead to an underestimation of their effects. This study validates a novel analytical strategy for evaluating the effects of antiplatelet drugs by quantifying the microscopic three-dimensional morphological parameters of platelet aggregates formed through spontaneous aggregation on a glass surface.

Brazil is a major pig-producing country with production systems that include both industrial and family farms. In these facilities, parasitic diseases present an obstacle to production. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of the gastrointestinal parasites that infect pigs as well as to provide information for producers through extension activities.

Microbes can be programmed to record participation in gene transfer by coding biological-recording devices into mobile DNA. Upon DNA uptake, these devices transcribe a catalytic RNA (cat-RNA) that binds to conserved sequences within ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and perform a trans-splicing reaction that adds a barcode to the rRNAs. Existing cat-RNA designs were generated to be broad-host range, providing no control over the organisms that were barcoded.
