Do counteracting external frontal plane moments alter the intraarticular contact force distribution in the loaded human tibiofemoral joint?
The application of counteracting frontal plane moments for the conservative treatment of osteoarthritis can redistribute the forces and might slow down the progression of the disease.
This paper has analyzed in silico the use of CGM sensors to provide BG input data to the SPRINT TGC protocol. A very simple algorithm was used for early hypoglycemic detection and prevention and tested with four different-sized intravenous glucose boluses. Although a small decrease in time in band (still clinically acceptable) was experienced with the addition of CGM noise, the number of hypoglycemic events was reduced. The reduction to time in band depends on the specific CGM sensor error characteristics and is thus a trade-off for reduced nursing workload. These results justify a pilot clinical trial to verify this study.
