Time in range–A1c hemoglobin relationship in continuous glucose monitoring of type 1 diabetes: a real-world study by Marina Valenzano, Ivan Cibrario Bertolotti, Adriano Valenzano, Giorgio Grassi

“…HbA1c tests were also carried out in the same occasions and measured values paired with the corresponding TIR data.Results A monovariate linear regression analysis confirms a strong correlation between TIR and HbA1c as found in previous studies, but leveraging more homogeneous data (n=146) collected in real-life conditions. Differences were determined between FGM and rtCGM devices in Pearson’s correlation (rFGM=0.703, rrtCGM=0.739), slope (β1,FGM=−11.77, β1,rtCGM=−10.74) and intercept (β0,FGM=141.19, β0,rtCGM=140.77) coefficients. …”

Biological characteristics of bream (Abramis brama Linnaeus, 1758) of the Kremenchuk Reservoir as an object of commercial fishery by N. Rudyk-Leuska, O. Buzevych, M. Leuskyi, I. Burjak

“…The primary material was selected and processed according to generally accepted methods in ichthyology. Total mortality (Z) was determined graphically based on the natural logarithms of the number of age classes in terms of the effort of the standard order of gill nets, as the tangent of the angle of inclination of the regression line; natural mortality (M) of bream was calculated using the coefficients of the Bertalanffy equation. …”
