Contact lenses change color when blood glucose increases in diabetics

In the future, diabetics may be able to wear contact lenses that continuously alert them to variations in their glucose levels by changing colors – potentially replacing the need to routinely draw blood throughout the day. The non-invasive technology, developed by Chemical and Biochemical Engineering professor Jin Zhang at The University of Western Ontario, uses extremely small nanoparticles embedded into the hydrogel lenses. These engineered nanoparticles react with glucose molecules found in tears, causing a chemical reaction that changes their color.

Preventing diabetes, biological passport for athletes and more from the Lancet

Low-dose combination therapy with rosiglitazone and metformin was highly effective in prevention of type 2 diabetes in patients with impaired glucose tolerance, with little effect on the clinically relevant adverse events of these two drugs. Preventing type 2 diabetes with low-dose combinations: Lifestyle interventions aimed at reducing bodyweight, and use of metformin, thiazolidinediones, acarbose, and orlistat, reduce the risk of diabetes by 25—60% over 3—6 years The biological passport and doping in athletics: A biological passport monitors an athlete’s blood and body chemistry values over time to assess whether there has been a deviation from an established baseline, thus indirectly detecting illegal manipulation. A long look at obesity : Even with their primitive understanding of nutrition, our neolithic forebears somehow made the “right choices”, thriving on a wholesome diet of nuts, seeds, and fruits with the occasional piece of meat

Acupuncture can spread serious diseases: bacterial infections, hepatitis B and C, even HIV

To prevent infections transmitted by acupuncture, infection control measures should be implemented, such as use of disposable needles, skin disinfection procedures and aseptic techniques. Acupuncture may be risky as needles are inserted up to several centimeters beneath the skin. In the 1970s and 1980s most infections associated with acupuncture were sporadic cases involving pyogenic bacteria.

Try That Technique: Top Latch Card

Here we are at Thursday again–my favourite day of the week.  Not only because it’s Try That Technique day, but because it is beer and wing night with my friends.  Donnie and I sometimes see 15 of our friends, but tonight will be a cozy group of 7. This week’s challenge technique comes from June 2008 and is called the Top Latch Card .   It was an enjoyable card to make way back in June 2008, and it was a fun one to do again.  Just like back in 2008, I used the brayer on this card.  Some how this style of card whispers, “use the brayer, use the brayer.” Check out Diana’s card.  She has a lot of talent.
