Hypothermia: a complication of diabetic ketoacidosis. (1/40)

During 1969-77, 20 episodes of severe hypothermia occurred in 19 diabetic patients in Nottingham. Thirteen were associated with ketotic hyperosmolar coma, two with lactic acidosis, and one with hypoglycaemia, while in four there was no loss of diabetic control. Ketoacidosis accounted for 11.8% of all admissions for severe accidental hypothermia and was a commoner cause than hypothyroidism (8%). Patients with ketoacidosis were younger and developed hypothermia as often during the summer as during the winter. The metabolic disturbance was characteristic, with severe acidosis (mean pH 7.04), a high blood glucose concentration (mean 56.6 mmol/l; 1020 mg/100 ml), and high plasma osmolality (mean 379.7 mmol (mosmol)/kg). Eight of the 13 episodes proved fatal. Hypothermia may aggravate ketoacidosis and complicate treatment and should be sought in all patients with severe diabetic coma.  (+info)

Causes of death in children with insulin dependent diabetes 1990-96. (2/40)

BACKGROUND: Mortality rates in children with insulin dependent diabetes (IDDM) in the UK are unknown and the causes of death not well documented. AIM: To determine the mortality rate and causes of death in children with IDDM. METHODS: The Office of National Statistics (England and Wales) and the General Register Office (Scotland) notified all deaths under 20 years of age from 1990 to 1996 with diabetes on the certificate. Further details were provided by coroners, pathologists, and clinicians. RESULTS: 116 deaths were notified and 83 were caused by diabetes. The standardised mortality ratio was 2.3 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.9 to 2.9), being highest in the age group 1-4 years, at 9.2 (95% CI, 5.4 to 14.7). Of the 83 diabetic deaths, hyperglycaemia/diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was implicated in 69 and hypoglycaemia in 7. Cerebral oedema was the most common cause of death in young children (25 of 36 diabetes related deaths in children under 12 years of age). 34 young people (10-19 years; 24 male) were either found dead at home (n = 26) or moribund on arrival at hospital (n = 8). In 24 of these, it appeared that DKA was the cause of death, in four hypoglycaemia was likely. Nine of these were found "dead in bed". CONCLUSIONS: Children with IDDM have a higher mortality than the general population. Cerebral oedema accounts for most hospital deaths in young children. There are a large number of young men dying at home from neglected IDDM. Early diagnosis of IDDM in children and closer supervision of young people might prevent some of these deaths.  (+info)

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA): Response of three patients of cyclophosphamide and/or antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) and demonstration of two types of serum IgG inhibitors to erythropoiesis. (3/40)

Three cases of adult pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) ARE REPORTED. All patients proved refractory to various combinations of androgens and corticosteroids. The first case, harboring a thymoma, showed a complete clinical remission following cyclophosphamide therapy. The second and third responded similarly to either a combined cyclophosphamide + antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) treatment or to ALG administration preceded by a small dosage of cyclophosphamide, which had proved ineffective when administered alone. Serum IgG inhibitors to erythropoiesis were demonstrated in all cases by means of in vivo and/or in vitro techniques. The inhibitor(s), although directed against the erythroid marrow in both the first and third patients (PRCA type A), apparently functioned as an antibody to circulating erythropoientin (Ep) in the second case (PRCA type B). The inhibitor(s) was always absent in postremission samples. Additionally, experimental models for both types of human PRCA were established in normal rodents. The present studies support the contention that adult PRCA is an autoimmune disease. The therapeutic role of cytotoxic-immunodepressive agents in PRCA patients is confirmed. It is emphasized that ALG may represent an additional therapeutic tool in cases resistant to cyclophosphamide and/or steroids. In addition, cyclophosphamide proved effective in a patient harboring a thymoma not amenable to surgery. Finally, it is postulated that IgG serum autoantibodies, directed against either an early erythroid precursor (PRCA type A) or, more rarely, circulating Ep (PRCA type B), play a major role in the pathogenesis of the disease.  (+info)

Structural and process quality in the management of diabetic emergencies in Germany. (4/40)

OBJECTIVE: Although acute complications of diabetes account for approximately 3% of all emergency calls, clinically relevant indicators of structural and process quality in the management of diabetic emergencies have not yet been studied. The purpose of this investigation was, therefore, to collect representative data on these indicators for the whole of Germany. METHODS: Standardized questionnaires comprising 20 items were sent to all 312 emergency medical services in Germany. Apart from demographic data, information was obtained about the diagnostic materials and drugs carried by the ambulances, methods of blood glucose measurement, the level of qualification of the emergency teams, the frequency of diabetic emergencies, and the need for further training. RESULTS: The return rate of the questionnaires was 55%, corresponding to 172 emergency medical service districts serving a total population of 45.3 million. The data revealed deficits with regard to structural and process quality. Thus, only 6% of ambulances carried glucagon and only 11% ketone test strips. In 57% capillary blood was used for glucose determination, in 17% visually read test strips were still used. While in some districts hospital admission after hypoglycaemic episodes was mandatory even for patients well educated about their diabetes, in other districts multimorbid patients on oral antidiabetics were sometimes only treated at the emergency scene. Emergency medical technicians increasingly carried out both the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic emergencies. CONCLUSIONS: The structural and process quality of the management of diabetic emergencies in Germany is in need of improvement. The most important factor is continuing education of the entire emergency team.  (+info)

Possible functional regression of insulinoma with prolonged octreotide. (5/40)

A 75 year old woman was treated for over three years with the somatostatin analogue, octreotide for an insulinoma. She had presented in a hypoglycaemic coma. C-peptide and insulin concentrations were both raised and an area of increased vascularity within the pancreas was shown by angiography. No lesion was found at laparotomy and no resection was performed. After over three years of octreotide treatment it was withdrawn for a week. Her insulin and C-peptide concentrations were greatly reduced at this time and remained so.  (+info)

Rapid onset of glycogen storage hepatomegaly in a type-2 diabetic patient after a massive dose of long-acting insulin and large doses of glucose. (6/40)

We present a case of rapid onset of glycogen storage hepatomegaly, caused by a massive dose of long-acting insulin and large doses of glucose, in a type-2 diabetic patient. A 41-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of hypoglycemia and unconsciousness following subcutaneous administration of 180 units of insulin glargine in a suicide attempt. Despite continuous hypercaloric infusion with additional intravenous glucose injections, hypoglycemia persisted for 36 hours. Although the hepatic function was normal and no hepatomegaly was detected on admission, the liver function tests became abnormal and hepatomegaly was detected on hospitalization day 3. Plain abdominal computed tomography (CT) scanning confirmed liver enlargement, with hepatic CT attenuation markedly elevated at 83.7 HU. Liver biopsy revealed hepatocytic glycogen deposition with edematous degeneration. Based on these findings, the diagnosis was made as rapid onset glycogen storage hepatomegaly caused by administration of a massive dose of long-acting insulin and supplementation with large doses of glucose. With improved glycemic control, the liver function improved, the CT findings of hepatomegaly improved, and the hepatic CT attenuation decreased. Repeat liver biopsy also confirmed almost complete disappearance of glycogen deposits. When hepatic dysfunction or hepatomegaly is detected during treatment with insulin, the possibility of hepatic glycogen deposition should be considered. CT scanning and liver biopsy were useful in diagnosing this case.  (+info)

Diffusion-weighted MR imaging in early diagnosis and prognosis of hypoglycemia. (7/40)

SUMMARY: We describe 2 cases of diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging in hypoglycemic coma. One patient, with diffuse cortical lesions, had a poor outcome, but the other, with transient white matter abnormalities, made a complete recovery. The distinctive patterns of DW MR imaging abnormalities in hypoglycemic patients should be recognized and may be a predictor of clinical outcome.  (+info)

Long-term effect of diabetes and its treatment on cognitive function. (8/40)

BACKGROUND: Long-standing concern about the effects of type 1 diabetes on cognitive ability has increased with the use of therapies designed to bring glucose levels close to the nondiabetic range and the attendant increased risk of severe hypoglycemia. METHODS: A total of 1144 patients with type 1 diabetes enrolled in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and its follow-up Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) study were examined on entry to the DCCT (at mean age 27 years) and a mean of 18 years later with the same comprehensive battery of cognitive tests. Glycated hemoglobin levels were measured and the frequency of severe hypoglycemic events leading to coma or seizures was recorded during the follow-up period. We assessed the effects of original DCCT treatment-group assignment, mean glycated hemoglobin values, and frequency of hypoglycemic events on measures of cognitive ability, with adjustment for age at baseline, sex, years of education, length of follow-up, visual acuity, self-reported sensory loss due to peripheral neuropathy, and (to control for the effects of practice) the number of cognitive tests taken in the interval since the start of the DCCT. RESULTS: Forty percent of the cohort reported having had at least one hypoglycemic coma or seizure. Neither frequency of severe hypoglycemia nor previous treatment-group assignment was associated with decline in any cognitive domain. Higher glycated hemoglobin values were associated with moderate declines in motor speed (P=0.001) and psychomotor efficiency (P<0.001), but no other cognitive domain was affected. CONCLUSIONS: No evidence of substantial long-term declines in cognitive function was found in a large group of patients with type 1 diabetes who were carefully followed for an average of 18 years, despite relatively high rates of recurrent severe hypoglycemia.

A diabetic coma is a serious and life-threatening condition that occurs when an individual with diabetes experiences severely high or low blood sugar levels, leading to unconsciousness. It is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention.

In the case of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), the body produces excess amounts of urine to try to eliminate the glucose, leading to dehydration and a lack of essential nutrients in the body. This can result in a buildup of toxic byproducts called ketones, which can cause a condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA can lead to a diabetic coma if left untreated.

On the other hand, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can also cause a diabetic coma. This occurs when the brain is not receiving enough glucose to function properly, leading to confusion, seizures, and eventually unconsciousness.

If you suspect someone is experiencing a diabetic coma, it is important to seek emergency medical attention immediately. While waiting for help to arrive, try to administer glucose or sugar to the individual if they are conscious and able to swallow. If they are unconscious, do not give them anything to eat or drink, as this could cause choking or further complications.

Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Coma (HHNC) is a serious complication of diabetes, specifically type 2, that occurs when blood glucose levels rise to extremely high levels, typically above 600 mg/dL. This condition is often accompanied by severe dehydration due to excessive urination and an inability to consume adequate fluids.

The term "hyperosmolar" refers to the high concentration of glucose in the blood, which increases the osmolality (or osmotic pressure) of the blood. This can lead to water moving out of cells and into the bloodstream to try to balance out the concentration, causing severe dehydration.

The term "nonketotic" means that there is no significant production of ketone bodies, which are produced when the body breaks down fat for energy in the absence of sufficient insulin. This differentiates HHNC from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), another serious complication of diabetes.

The "coma" part of the term refers to the fact that HHNC can cause altered mental status, ranging from confusion and disorientation to coma, due to the effects of dehydration and high blood glucose levels on the brain.

HHNC is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment in a hospital setting. Treatment typically involves administering fluids to rehydrate the body, insulin to lower blood glucose levels, and addressing any other underlying conditions or complications. If left untreated, HHNC can be life-threatening.

A coma is a deep state of unconsciousness in which an individual cannot be awakened, cannot respond to stimuli, and does not exhibit any sleep-wake cycles. It is typically caused by severe brain injury, illness, or toxic exposure that impairs the function of the brainstem and cerebral cortex.

In a coma, the person may appear to be asleep, but they are not aware of their surroundings or able to communicate or respond to stimuli. Comas can last for varying lengths of time, from days to weeks or even months, and some people may emerge from a coma with varying degrees of brain function and disability.

Medical professionals use various diagnostic tools and assessments to evaluate the level of consciousness and brain function in individuals who are in a coma, including the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), which measures eye opening, verbal response, and motor response. Treatment for coma typically involves supportive care to maintain vital functions, manage any underlying medical conditions, and prevent further complications.

Unconsciousness is a state of complete awareness where a person is not responsive to stimuli and cannot be awakened. It is often caused by severe trauma, illness, or lack of oxygen supply to the brain. In medical terms, it is defined as a lack of response to verbal commands, pain, or other stimuli, indicating that the person's brain is not functioning at a level necessary to maintain wakefulness and awareness.

Unconsciousness can be described as having different levels, ranging from drowsiness to deep coma. The causes of unconsciousness can vary widely, including head injury, seizure, stroke, infection, drug overdose, or lack of oxygen supply to the brain. Depending on the cause and severity, unconsciousness may last for a few seconds or continue for an extended period, requiring medical intervention and treatment.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious metabolic complication characterized by the triad of hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and increased ketone bodies. It primarily occurs in individuals with diabetes mellitus type 1, but it can also be seen in some people with diabetes mellitus type 2, particularly during severe illness or surgery.

The condition arises when there is a significant lack of insulin in the body, which impairs the ability of cells to take up glucose for energy production. As a result, the body starts breaking down fatty acids to produce energy, leading to an increase in ketone bodies (acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone) in the bloodstream. This process is called ketosis.

In DKA, the excessive production of ketone bodies results in metabolic acidosis, which is characterized by a lower than normal pH level in the blood (< 7.35) and an elevated serum bicarbonate level (< 18 mEq/L). The hyperglycemia in DKA is due to both increased glucose production and decreased glucose utilization by cells, which can lead to severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis include excessive thirst, frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, fruity breath odor, and altered mental status. If left untreated, DKA can progress to coma and even lead to death. Treatment typically involves administering insulin, fluid replacement, and electrolyte management in a hospital setting.

An encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work containing articles on various topics, usually arranged in alphabetical order. In the context of medicine, a medical encyclopedia is a collection of articles that provide information about a wide range of medical topics, including diseases and conditions, treatments, tests, procedures, and anatomy and physiology. Medical encyclopedias may be published in print or electronic formats and are often used as a starting point for researching medical topics. They can provide reliable and accurate information on medical subjects, making them useful resources for healthcare professionals, students, and patients alike. Some well-known examples of medical encyclopedias include the Merck Manual and the Stedman's Medical Dictionary.
