background: cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) during coronary artery bypass grafting is thought to contribute significantly to increased blood glucose level and altered blood electrolytes balance during the operation. in this (cabg) study, blood electrolytes and glucose during cpb in insulin-dependent diabetic and non-diabetic patients were assessed with special emphasis on the trend of the changes....

DK, DKA and HONC cases admitted to Hacettepe University Hospital in a fifteen year period (19801995) were analysed. Diagnosis of DKA was based on the fulfillment of each of the following criteria: Plasma glucose on admission >250 mg/dl, plasma HCO3 <15mEq/L, pH <7.3, ketonemia and an elevated anion gap. Patients with a plasma glucose level >250 mg/dl, blood pH in the normal range and with posit...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of glycemic level on outcome patients with traumatic brain injury. METHODS  From September 2010 to December 2012, all medical records of adult patients with TBI admitted to the Emergency Room of Laura Daniela Clinic in Valledupar City, Colombia, South America were enrolled. Both genders between 18 and 85 years who referred during the first 48 hours after tra...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the correlation between early-term blood glucose level and prognosis in patients with isolated head trauma. METHODS This study included a total of 100 patients younger than 18 years of age who had isolated head trauma. The admission blood glucose levels of these patients were measured. Age at the time of the incident, sex, mode of occurrence of the trauma, computed tomogr...

strychnos henningsii gilg is recommended among other remedies for the treatment of diabetes in traditional medicine of southern africa. the antidiabetic effect of oral administration of aqueous bark extract of the plant at 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight was investigated in diabetic rats induced with streptozotocin-nicotinamide for 15 days. the extract decreased the blood glucose level, feed...

background: our aim was to evaluate the effect of intravenous intralipid administration as an antidote on the poisoned patients&apos; glasgow coma scale (gcs), hemodynamic parameters, arterial blood gas analysis, and routine metabolic profile tests (i.e. urea, glucose, sodium, and potassium) in the setting of non-local anesthetic drug overdose. methods: in this randomized controlled trial, a to...

Elevated blood glucose is common in the early phase of stroke. The prevalence of hyperglycemia, defined as blood glucose level 6.0 mmol/L (108 mg/dL), has been observed in two thirds of all ischemic stroke subtypes on admission and in at least 50% in each subtype including lacunar strokes.1 Extensive experimental evidence in stroke models supports that hyperglycemia has adverse effects on tissu...

BACKGROUND The effects of glucose abnormalities on outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain unclear. We examined the association between glucose abnormalities and in-hospital outcome in patients undergoing PCI for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 849 patients with AMI who were admitted within 12 h after symptom onset and underwent emergen...

AIM Glucagon-like peptide-1 can reduce both postprandial plasma glucose (PG) and chylomicron (CM) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, there have been no reports regarding the relationship between the postprandial metabolism of PG and CM. METHODS Patients with type 2 diabetes who were admitted for glycemic control were randomized to insulin alone (Ins; n=16) or insulin plus vilda...

Hyperglycaemia is common in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and is a predictor of severe outcomes. Data are scarce regarding whether this association is affected by diabetes mellitus (DM) and also regarding its importance for severe outcomes in hospital. We determined the impact of blood glucose on severe outcomes of CAP in hospital. We studied 1318 adult CAP patients hospitali...
