To discuss the management of a rare case of cerebral edema before initiation of therapy in an adolescent with new-onset type 2 diabetes. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Institutional Review Board approved the review of medical records. A previously healthy obese adolescent female
OBJECTIVE
To describe four adolescents with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome, an uncommon presentation of type 2 diabetes in pediatric patients.
METHODS
Case report.
METHODS
Two tertiary pediatric intensive care units in university teaching hospitals.
METHODS
Four obese adolescents with
There is growing evidence that obesity is associated with inflammation in the brain, which could contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity. In humans, it is challenging to detect brain inflammation in vivo. Recently, quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) has emerged as a tool for
BACKGROUND
Common causes of non-traumatic acute cerebral edema include malignant hypertension, hyponatremia, anoxia, and cerebral vascular accident. The computed tomographic images and data obtained during care of the patient described in this case report provide evidence that hypercarbia can cause
Dying in a head-down position is rare, and autopsy may reveal no morphological findings which can sufficiently explain the cause of death. The authors describe a case of positional asphyxia of a 78-year-old man, found dead hanging in head-down position inside a blackberry bush. The subject was
Trans-sodium crocetinate (TSC) is a novel synthetic carotenoid compound that improves diffusion of small molecules, including oxygen, in solutions. TSC provides neuroprotection in healthy rats and rabbits. This study seeks to determine whether TSC is neuroprotective in obese mice. Sixteen-week-old
A diet consisting of high levels of saturated fat has been linked to a dramatic rise in obesity. Long-term exposure to high fat, "Western diet" (WD), is detrimental to ischemic brain injury. Adiponectin receptor 1 (ADR-1) activation is also shown to exacerbate ischemic neuronal death. However, it is
Posterior reversible cerebral edema syndrome is a generally reversible neurologic condition that is diagnosed based on distinctive clinical and radiologic findings. The condition, which is mostly associated with severe arterial hypertension, has also been reported to be induced by several
Monosomy 1p36 may result in a clinically recognizable chromosomal microdeletion syndrome. We report the unexpected death of a 12 year old boy with mildly dysmorphic facial features, short stature at 138 cm (3rd centile), moderate mental retardation and a history of seizures, obesity, transient
Benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri), a syndrome common to a number of disorders, is characterized by headaches and blurred vision. The patient is alert and has papilledema without localizing signs. Air studies show normal ventricles under increased pressure. The authors describe
For many years, the pathophysiology of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) was interpreted as "secondary intracranial hypertension," and IIH was considered to be caused by brain edema due to obstructive sleep apnea. Another theory proposed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption impairment due
Various symptoms can arise during a stay in high altitude areas (above 2500 m), such as tissue hypoxia and in particular pulmonary and brain oedema. Patients with existing health problems can expect to develop more complaints or more severe complaints at an earlier stage. For a number of these
Propofol is one of the most commonly used intravenous anesthetic drugs because its distribution, metabolism and excretion are rapid. Recovery from anesthesia using propofol infusion is generally smooth. We have therefore taken this opportunity to report on a case of delayed recovery from anesthesia
The infrequency of deaths from work-related heat stress may be due to self-pacing, whereby workers adjust their work rate in response to thermal discomfort. Thirteen cases attributed after coronial investigation to work-related heat stress were studied to evaluate the causal contribution of
