Background and Objective: The S100B protein has recently been considered as an important marker for predicting severe brain damage; however, there has been very little evidence of increasing this marker in cerebral edema due to metabolic disorders such as diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA). This study was designed and performed to evaluate the prognostic role of S100B protein in predicting brain edema...

D iabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) are the two most serious acute metabolic complications of diabetes. Most patients with DKA have autoimmune type 1 diabetes; however, patients with type 2 diabetes are also at risk during the catabolic stress of acute illness such as trauma, surgery, or infection. Table 1 outlines the diagnostic criteria and electrolyte and ...

background: diabetic ketoacidosis (dka) is the final consequence and life-threatening complication of severe insulin deficiency in type 1 diabetes with occurrence of 20-40%. the aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and predisposing factors of dka and its consequences. methods: this retrospective study was performed on 128 diabetic patients in amirkola children’s hospital in 2005-2...

non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (niddm) is a common disease entity in patients with coronary artery disease (cad). diabetic ketoacidosis (dka) is not only one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus but also a significant challenging clinical entity for the patients undergoing any elective or emergency surgery. coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) being done in a patient with ...

OBJECTIVES To summarise incidence and prevalence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for the overall patient population and different subgroups (age, sex, geographical region, ethnicity and type of insulin administration). DESIGN Systematic literature review (SLR). DATA SOURCES Medline (via PubMed) and Embase (1 January 2000 to 23 June 2016). STUDY SELECTIO...

OBJECTIVE Cerebral edema is a life-threatening complication of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children. Recent data suggest that cerebral hypoperfusion and activation of cerebral ion transporters may be involved, but data describing cerebral metabolic alterations during DKA are lacking. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We evaluated 50 juvenile rats with DKA and 21 normal control rats using proton ...

The occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious but largely preventable acute complication of diabetes mellitus, has been declining in recent years. However, empiric observations indicate that DKA continues to have a major effect on ethnic minority patients in inner-city settings. In this study, we conducted a retrospective analysis of five-year hospital admission data for DKA at a sin...

diabetic ketoacidosis (dka) is characterized by excessive production of organic acids leading to a low blood ph. rarely, because of other complicating factors blood ph may be in the alkalemic range and the term diabetic ketoalkalosis has been coined to describe this condition. so far, less than 30 such cases have been reported in the literature. we report a 34-year-old woman who received methyl...
