EE167 Budget Impact Analysis of Sensor Augmented Pump Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in Bulgaria
Sensor augmented pump (SAP) therapy combines continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) for the management of T1D. Evidence suggests that SAP provides better glycemic control than CSII alone. A 3-year budget impact analysis was conducted to assess the affordability of SAP therapy with PLGS algorithm for T1D in Bulgaria. (Source: Value in Health)

EE8 Еconomic Evaluation of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) for Imaging in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease in Bulgaria
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is an imaging modality used primarily in interventional cardiology to characterize lesion morphology, quantify plaque significance, guide stent sizing, assess stent implantation, and identify procedural complications. The primary objective of this study was to perform an economic assessment of IVUS for imaging in patients with coronary artery disease in Bulgaria. (Source: Value in Health)

Blood parameters of adult marsh frogs Pelophylax ridibundus (Amphibia: Ranidae) in rice paddies subjected to intense agrochemical use
This study was conducted in spring 2022 to assess the health status of TRF frogs compared to that of frogs occupying a reference site (RS). Furthermore, this study also compared the results obtained for the TRF population with those obtained in a study conducted at the exact same location with P. ridibundus individuals in 2013 (Zhelev et al. 2018). This comparison highlights the potential effects of persistent use of agrochemicals (pesticides and fertilizers) on the marsh frogs of later generations. Our results suggest that the general health of marsh frogs in the polluted site (PS) in southern Bulgaria has severely deteri...
