Minimizing the risk of brain herniation during treatment of diabetic ketoacidemia: a retrospective and prospective study

The Journal of Pediatrics

Abstract

We studied retrospectively, 219 episodes of diabetic ketoacidemia in 119 patients aged 13 months to 30 years, to determine the trend of the concentration of sodium in serum as glucose declined during treatment of uncomplicated episodes and of episodes with complications attributable to brain swelling. Of 20 complication, 13 were minor (headache only) and 7 major (death or near death). The concentration of sodium in serum failed to rise as that of glucose declined in 82 (54%) of 164 uncomplicated episodes and in 18 (95%) of 20 complicated episodes (p less than 0.01). Hence complications were more likely to occur among patients with a failure of the concentration of sodium to rise as glucose declined. Fifty-eight episodes of diabetic ketoacidemia in 40 patients aged 1 1/2 to 20 years were then studied prospectively on a 48-hour treatment plan to provide the volume of deficit evenly, with half the deficit of sodium in the first 42 hours. Sodium concentration in serum rose in 55 (95%) of 58 episodes as that of glucose declined. No patient had a major complication. We conclude that failure of the sodium concentration measured in serum to rise as glucose concentration declines is a marker for excessive administration of free water. A...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
