Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose as an Integral Part in the Management of People with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Stefan Pleus et al.

Summary: Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is considered crucial for diabetes management, improving glycemic control and quality of life. Despite advancements in technology and accuracy, some SMBG systems do not meet international standards. Reports from China, India, and Brazil suggest additional obstacles for optimized SMBG usage. Nonetheless, proper utilization of SMBG data is highly relevant for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Does self-sampling for human papilloma virus testing have the potential to increase cervical cancer screening? An updated meta-analysis of observational studies and randomized clinical trials

Gianfranco Di Gennaro et al.

Summary: HPV self-sampling is effective in increasing cervical cancer screening uptake, especially in small communities with door-to-door distribution. Brushes and swabs show potential stronger effects in improving CCS. There is no significant difference in acceptability and preference of device type among women.

Comparing the Effects of Oral HIV Self-Testing With Those of Standard HIV Testing for Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Shruti Vashisht et al.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of oral HIV self-testing on the testing uptake, frequency, and risk behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM). The meta-analysis found that oral HIV self-testing increased the uptake and frequency of HIV testing, and detected more new HIV infections. However, it did not significantly affect risk behavior.

Preference towards HIV Self-Testing above Other Testing Options in a Sample of Men Who Have Sex with Men from Five European Countries

Juan Hoyos et al.

Summary: Among men who have sex with men in Denmark, Germany, Greece, Portugal, and Spain, factors associated with choosing HIV self-testing as a preferred method included age, safe behaviors, and testing frequency. Self-testing was more likely preferred by individuals who were not open about their sexual behaviors.

HPV self-sampling for cervical cancer screening: a systematic review of values and preferences

Holly Nishimura et al.

Summary: The systematic review found that HPV self-sampling is a highly acceptable method of cervical cancer screening for women globally. Regardless of age, income or country of residence, most women found HPV self-sampling highly acceptable. Women prefer home-based self-sampling and cervical swab is the most common and accepted HPV DNA sampling device.

Performance of Seven SARS-CoV-2 Self-Tests Based on Saliva, Anterior Nasal and Nasopharyngeal Swabs Corrected for Infectiousness in Real-Life Conditions: A Cross-Sectional Test Accuracy Study

Miroslav Homza et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of seven antigen tests using different sampling methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2, and found that the test using nasopharyngeal swabs performed the best, while others using anterior nasal swabs or saliva did not meet the WHO criteria for overall sensitivity.

Perceptions on undertaking regular asymptomatic self-testing for COVID-19 using lateral flow tests: a qualitative study of university students and staff

Marta Wanat et al.

Summary: This qualitative study explored the experiences of university students and staff in regular asymptomatic self-testing using LFTs, as well as their subsequent behaviors. Most participants were motivated to self-test regularly to know their infection status, and while a negative test result did not change their behavior, it provided reassurance for engaging in activities. Concerns about safety, convenience, and ability to conduct tests need to be addressed for successful scaling up of asymptomatic testing.
