A common etiology of diabetic ketoacidosis is severe infection [1], and hyperglycemia has been reported to be a possible risk factor for developing a liver abscess [2]. Streptococcus anginosus is a subgroup of streptococcus viridians, which commonly exists in normal oral and gastrointestinal flora. Streptococcus anginosus differs from other bacterial subgroups as Streptococcus anginosus may cau...

Specifically 14C-labeled mevalonic acids were administered to rats in diabetic ketosis, and the distribution of 14C was determined in the hydroxybutyric acid each rat excreted. Also, the distributions of 14C were determined in hydroxybutyric acid formed by slices of livers and kidneys from rats in diabetic ketosis and incubated with the specifically labeled mevalonic acids. The distributions fo...

In the use of low-level intravenous insulin infusion for treating diabetic hyperglycaemia and ketoacidosis adsorption of insulin to containers or plastic infusion apparatus results in significant losses of 60-80% of insulin in dilute physiological saline solution (40 U/l). It is therefore necessary to add protein to the carrier solution to minimize losses and maintain a constant delivery rate. ...

Aim. Antenatal glucocorticoid therapy (AGT) has been commonly used recently. However, this therapy has severe harmful effects such as maternal hyperglycemia. In Japan, ritodrine hydrochloride has been used as a tocolytic agent. In this study, we performed retrospective casecontrol study to clarify whether concomitant use of ritodrine and glucocorticoid was safe to pregnant women without diabete...

BACKGROUND Dairy cows have a massive demand for glucose at the onset of lactation. A poor adaption to this period leads to an excessive negative energy balance with an increased risk for ketosis and impaired animal health and production. Besides the measurement of ketones, analysing the glucose concentration in blood is reported as helpful instrument for diagnosis and differentiation of ketosis...

Insulin degludec (IDeg) once-daily was compared with insulin detemir (IDet) once- or twice-daily, with prandial insulin aspart in a treat-to-target, randomized controlled trial in children 1-17 yr with type 1 diabetes, for 26 wk (n = 350), followed by a 26-wk extension (n = 280). Participants were randomized to receive either IDeg once daily at the same time each day or IDet given once or twice...

DKA is a state of decompensation metabolic chaos characterized by triassic hyperglycemia, acidosis, and ketosis which one the most serious life-threatening acute complications diabetes mellitus. Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) requires proper treatment immediate treatment. Management insulin therapy, intravenous administration fluids key component management to expand intravascular, interstitial, i...

Classification of diabetes—As stated by Zimmet et al. (1) in the initial chapter of a classical textbook on diabetes, the major requirement for orderly epidemiologic, genetic, and clinical research on diabetes and glucose intolerance, and indeed for their clinical management, is an appropriate classification. Furthermore, a hallmark in the process of understanding the etiology of a disease and ...

TOPIC: Critical Care TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: First reported in 1973, euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) historically accounted for 0.8-1.1% of (DKA) cases [1]. Without hyperglycemia, the anion gap metabolic acidosis (AGMA) euDKA may be attributed to other causes. We present a case that was mistaken toxic alcohol poisoning. CASE PRESENTATION: A 53-year-old...

Successful calving, healthy metabolic functions postpartum and good milk performance in lactation depend highly on the transition period (three weeks before and after calving) of dairy cows where they should be able to manage energy intake and overcome negative energy balance. Subclinical ketosis is one of the metabolic diseases associated with negative energy balance during the transition peri...
