Feb 24th, 2021 - Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the most serious acute metabolic complications of diabetes mellitus. It is characterised by the biochemical triad of hyperglycaemia, ketonemia/ketonuria, and an increased anion gap metabolic acidosis. In this ...

Feb 24th, 2021 - Diabetic ketoacidosis is an endocrine emergency. A subset of diabetic patients may present with relative euglycemia with acidosis, known as euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA), which is often misdiagnosed due to a serum glucose <250 mg/dL. Thi...

Feb 13th, 2021 - To study the clinical and laboratory features, management, and outcome of pediatric non-diabetic ketoacidosis (NDKA). Between May 2018 and April 2020, we prospectively collected children under 18 years who presented with ketoacidosis, defined as k...

Feb 9th, 2021 - Intoxication with Patent Blue V [sodium compound of (diethylamino-4-phenyl)(hydroxy-5-disulfo-2,4-phenyl) methanol] can lead to high levels of methemoglobin and metabolic acidosis. In severe cases and if not rapidly eliminated from the plasma, thi...

Nov 17th, 2018 - Cholera is a well-known disease caused by intestinal infection with the toxin-producing bacteria Vibrio cholerae. This potentially fatal diarrheal disease results in large volumes of watery stool, causing rapid dehydration that can progress to hyp...
