Drones: Emergence of a transformative technology for island rodent eradications

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Drones have emerged as a potentially powerful tool to address an ongoing need for alternative rodent eradication solutions on remote islands. This potential has now been demonstrated in a diverse set of operations across the Pacific. In the coming decades, this novel toolset also offers the possibility to step beyond existing paradigms and imagine a ...

In‐flight glycaemic control using automated insulin delivery systems: A within‐subject comparative pilot study

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Automated insulin delivery systems (AID) are increasingly used by people living with type 1 diabetes, but their functionality during air travel remains insufficiently studied. Some concerns have arisen regarding safety using AID systems under flight conditions, particularly related to potential insulin delivery errors induced by ...

Performance of continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMs) during commercial flights in T1DM: A within‐subject comparative pilot study

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems are increasingly used, but their accuracy under flight‐conditions remains insufficiently studied. We assessed sensor accuracy of four CGMs during in‐flight (mid‐haul) and ground conditions.
