Assessment of dose selection attributes with audible notification in insulin pen devices.

BACKGROUND: Patients with type 2 diabetes often suffer from impairments in vision as well as manual dexterity. The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of dose selection and setting of five insulin devices by patients using auditory and sensory confirmation. METHODS: A total of 48 patients (30 men, 18 women; mean +/- SD age 60.5 +/- 14.0 years; hemoglobin A(1c) 8.7 +/- 1.9%) were randomized to test the following devices: NovoPen 3 (Novo Nordisk A/S, Bagsvaerd, Denmark), HumaPen Ergo (Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN), Humalog Pen (Eli Lilly), InnoLet (Novo Nordisk), and FlexPen(Novo Nordisk). RESULTS: Significantly more patients detected an auditory confirmation of dose setting when using the NovoPen 3 compared with the Humalog Pen (P < 0.001), HumaPen Ergo (P < 0.001), and InnoLet (P < 0.01). The audible click for the FlexPen was also heard by more patients than for the Humalog Pen (P < 0.001) and HumaPen Ergo (P < 0.01). All patients found that the Flex- Pen provided physical sensory confirmation; the percentage was higher than for those using the Humalog Pen (P < 0.001), HumaPen Ergo (P < 0.001), and InnoLet (P < 0.01). The NovoPen 3 was also associated with a higher percentage of patients who felt the click sensation than with the Humalog Pen (P < 0.001) and HumaPen Ergo (P < 0.01). Patients reported more confidence in setting the correct dose with the NovoPen 3 and FlexPen, and found these the most reliable for dose setting. Sound recordings showed that the NovoPen 3 produced the loudest clicks when setting a dose (P < 0.001 for all comparisons). CONCLUSIONS: The clarity of the click when setting a dose on an insulin delivery device can affect the patient's confidence in selecting the correct dose.

BLAST Search Updater: a notification system for new database matches.

UNLABELLED: BLAST Search Updater (BSU) can help molecular biologists perform large numbers of BLAST searches routinely and screen the results for novel matches. The search result files (HTML format) and delta files (novel matches) are WWW viewable and BSU also emails users alignments of new matches. AVAILABILITY: BSU runs on UNIX machines and is freely available to academic users at http://athena.bioc.uvic.ca/genomes/. Additional figures and description are also available.

Death notification: practical guidelines for health care professionals.

In acute care settings, death is common. Until now, few explicit guidelines for locating and notifying next of kin have been available. A licensed clinical social worker, in collaboration with two universities, surveyed medical professionals, university students in death and dying classes, and family members of newly admitted intensive care unit patients. From these responses, a working protocol for notifying and supporting the bereaved was developed. The general guidelines resulting from this study were applied and refined during the author's facilitation of more than 2,000 unanticipated death scenarios. Having the family view the body and talk with the medical staff is part of this protocol.
