Identification of Clinical Factors Associated With the Immunogenicity of Homologous ChAdOx1‐nCoV‐19 Vaccine in Hemodialysis Patients

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at higher risk of severe COVID‐19 and may exhibit suboptimal vaccine responses. This study evaluates the factors influencing vaccine‐induced immunity in HD patients following the second dose of the Vaxzevria. A total of 276 HD patients and 126 controls were included. Antibody responses were assessed using binding

Evaluation of a Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor: A Novel and Non-Invasive Wearable Using Bioimpedance Technology

Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, 2021
Background: Frequent blood glucose level (BGL) monitoring is essential for effective diabetes management. Poor compliance is common due to the painful finger pricking or subcutaneous lancet implantation required from existing technologies.

Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition as a predictor of mortality and prolonged hospitalization in emergency department patients: A prospective cohort study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Early diagnosis of malnutrition is essential for rapid decision‐making regarding nutrition care to improve patient outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and to assess the association of GLIM with 1‐year mortality and length of hospital ...

Remote Cell Growth Sensing Using Self-Sustained Bio-Oscillations [PDF]

, 2018
A smart sensor system for cell culture real-time supervision is proposed, allowing for a significant reduction in human effort applied to this type of assay. The approach converts the cell culture under test into a suitable “biological” oscillator.
