Hypoglycemia is due to defects in the metabolic systems involved transition from fed fasting state or hormone control of these systems. In children, hypoglycemia considered a metabolic-endocrine emergency, because it may lead brain injury, permanent neurological sequelae and, rare cases, death. Symptoms are nonspecific, particularly infants and young children. Diagnosis based on laboratory inve...

the term congenital hypopituitarism defines deficiency of all of the pituitary hormones. hypoglycemia and microphallus (in males) are common findings, and some infants have shown evidence of the neonatal hepatitis syndrome. we report a case of congenital panhypopituitarism with deficiency of six major hormones and association with severe hypoglycemia, impaired liver function tests and congenita...

BACKGROUND Accurate identification of hypoglycemia cases by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes will help to describe epidemiology, monitor trends, and propose interventions for this important complication in patients with diabetes. Prior hypoglycemia studies utilized incomplete search strategies and may be methodologically flawed. We...

Iatrogenic hypoglycemia causes recurrent morbidity in most people with type 1 diabetes and many with type 2 diabetes, and it is sometimes fatal. The barrier of hypoglycemia generally precludes maintenance of euglycemia over a lifetime of diabetes and thus precludes full realization of euglycemia's long-term benefits. While the clinical presentation is often characteristic, particularly for the ...

AIM To measure the incidence and determinants (predictors) of hypoglycemia among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were on insulin treatment for at least one year. METHODS The present study is an out-patients based inquiry about the risk and predictors of hypoglycemia among patients with T2DM seeking care at the Al-Faiha Specialized Diabetes, Endocrine, and Metabolism Center, ...

neonatal hypoglycemia is common and its prompt ‎management is important to reduce neurological sequelae. to determine the effect of two different glucose concentrations of intravenous (iv) fluid ‎therapy in the incidence of hypoglycemia in sick premature infants, 200 preterm infants ‎weighing 1500-2500 g were selected and randomly assigned into two groups. ‎group 1 received 10% dextrose in wate...

OBJECTIVE Hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure (HAAF) constitutes one of the main clinical obstacles to optimum treatment of type 1 diabetes. Neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus are thought to mediate counterregulatory responses to hypoglycemia. We have previously hypothesized that hypoglycemia-induced hypothalamic angiotensin might contribute to HAAF, suggesting that the angiotensin ...

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis, and Neonatal septiemia are terms that have been used to describe the systemic response to infection in newborn infants. Sepsis can affect neonatal metabolism and the level of blood sugar. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalance of “Hypoglycemia” in neonates with primary diagnosis of sepsis in neonatal ward and NICU of khorrammabad pediatric hospital on...

Since a universal definition for hypoglycemia is lacking, an operational threshold for initiating therapy has been defined. Hypoglycemia is encountered in a variety of neonatal conditions including prematurity, growth retardation and maternal diabetes. Since hypoglycemia may be asymptomatic, routine screening for this condition in certain high risk situations is recommended. Supervised breast-f...
