Metabolic Alkalosis resulting from a Congenital Duodenal Diaphragm

Duodenal diaphragm is an unusual cause of upper intestinal obstruction. We present here a neonate with duodenal diaphragm who presented with features of metabolic alkalosis. Further, an algorithm of management of metabolic alkalosis in a newborn is suggested.

Metabolic disturbance in first - episode schizophrenia

Results Most studiesdidnotcontrol for confounding factors such as previous usage ofmedication, lifestyle, age and ethnicity.A fewconducted in drug-na|ve « patientswith first-episode schizophrenia appear to indicate thatthese patientshave higher than expectedrates of visceral obesity and impaired fasting glucose concentrations, whichmayberelated to a subtle disturbance ofthe hypothalamic^ pituit...

Metabolic disturbance in first-episode schizophrenia.

BACKGROUND Schizophrenia shortens life, e.g. through suicide and obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is assumed that medications play a major role, but most of the evidence for this comes from studies poorly controlled for variables such as lifestyle and medication status. AIMS To determine whether schizophrenia is associated (independently of medication) with the de...

Targeting metabolic disturbance in the diabetic heart

Diabetic cardiomyopathy is defined as ventricular dysfunction initiated by alterations in cardiac energy substrates in the absence of coronary artery disease and hypertension. In addition to the demonstrated burden of cardiovascular events associated with diabetes, diabetic cardiomyopathy partly explains why diabetic patients are subject to a greater risk of heart failure and a worse outcome af...
