iGLU 2.0: A new non-invasive, accurate serum glucometer for smart healthcare [PDF]
To best of the authors knowledge, this article presents the first-ever non-invasive glucometer that takes into account serum glucose for high accuracy. In case of blood glucose measurement, serum glucose value has always been considered precise blood glucose value during prandial modes.

NMR of $^{31}$P Nuclear Spin Singlet States in Organic Diphosphates [PDF]
$^{31}$P NMR and MRI are commonly used to study organophosphates that are central to cellular energy metabolism. In some molecules of interest, such as adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), pairs of coupled $^{31}$P nuclei in the diphosphate moiety should enable the creation of nuclear spin singlet states, which may ...

Everything You Wanted to Know About Noninvasive Glucose Measurement and Control [PDF]
Diabetes is a chronicle disease where the body of a human is irregular to dissolve the blood glucose properly. The diabetes is due to lack of insulin in human body. The continuous monitoring of blood glucose is main important aspect for health care. Most of the successful glucose monitoring devices is based on methodology of pricking of blood. However,

cgmquantify: Python and R packages for comprehensive analysis of interstitial glucose and glycemic variability from continuous glucose monitor data [PDF]
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems provide real-time, dynamic glucose information by tracking interstitial glucose values throughout the day (typically values are recorded every 5 minutes). CGMs are commonly used in diabetes management by clinicians and patients and in research to understand how factors of longitudinal glucose and glucose ...

Simultaneous quantification of 12 different nucleotides and nucleosides released from renal epithelium and in human urine samples using ion-pair reversed-phase HPLC [PDF]
Nucleotides and nucleosides are not only involved in cellular metabolism but also act extracellularly via P1 and P2 receptors, to elicit a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological responses through paracrine and autocrine signalling pathways.
