Overnight basal insulin requirements in fasting insulin-dependent diabetics.
Overnight basal insulin requirements to maintain eugycemia were determined in six insulin-requiring diabetic subjects using a feedback-controlled (closed loop) insulin infusion system. Mean hourly insulin infusion rates, required to maintain plasma glucose concentrations at approximately 100 mg/dl, were remarkably stable from 2400 h to 0600 h; however, a twofold to threefold increase in insulin...
متن کاملTocolysis with Ritodrine: a Comparative Study in Preterm Labour
Objective: Preterm delivery is an important cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted with an objective to assess the effect of ritodrine on perinatal mortality as compared to isoxsuprine and the effect of ritodrine on maternal morbidity and neonatal morbidity in comparison to isoxsuprine with the extent to which delivery was delayed.

متن کاملRhabdomyolysis caused by tocolysis with oral ritodrine hydrochloride in a pregnant patient with myotonic dystrophy.
Drug-induced rhabdomyolysis during pregnancy is extremely rare. We report here a rare case of ritodrine-hydrochloride-induced rhabdomyolysis in a pregnant patient with myotonic dystrophy. A 32-year-old primigravida was admitted because of premature labor at 31 weeks of gestation. She had been diagnosed as having myotonic dystrophy by electromyographic investigations and abnormal serum creatinin...
متن کاملRitodrine in the treatment of preterm labour: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Results on the effect of ritodrine in the treatment of preterm labour are different all over the world. Therefore, a concrete conclusion cannot be drawn from a single randomized control trial (RCT). In this study, we selected a large number of RCTs worldwide on the treatment of preterm labour comparing ritodrine and placebo or magnesium sulfate and by applying meta-analy...
متن کاملEndocrine changes in premature labour.
Plasma oestradiol and progesterone levels in peripheral blood have been studied before and during premature labour of unknown aetiology. Hormones were measured by radio-immunoassay using specific antisera. Levels in patients who delivered prematurely were compared with levels measured serially in 33 primigravidae during normal pregnancy and labour.In 19 out of 25 patients admitted in progressiv...
