diabetic ketoacidosis/obesity

Glucose tolerance and insulin responses have been examined over extended periods in severely obese, but otherwise healthy, subjects. Three significant points emerge from this study. First, it was shown that obese, supposedly ketosis resistant, subjects may deteriorate in a brief time span from a

OBJECTIVE Many obese children with unprovoked diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) display clinical features of type 2 diabetes during follow up. We describe the clinical presentation, autoimmune markers and the long-term course of obese and lean children with DKA. METHODS We reviewed the medical records on

A 5.5-y-old spayed female ferret (Mustela putorius furo) with a history of adrenal disease, respiratory disease, and chronic obesity was evaluated for progressive lethargy and ataxia, diminished appetite, and possible polyuria and polydipsia. Physical examination revealed obesity, lethargy,

OBJECTIVE When presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), lean and obese patients differ in their subsequent clinical course. Although lean patients tend to remain insulin dependent, most obese patients recover endogenous insulin secretion and discontinue insulin therapy. The aim of this study was

Our preliminary data indicate that 15% of African-American patients presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) are obese. To determine underlying mechanisms, we analyzed the clinical characteristics and indexes of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in 35 obese patients with DKA, 22 obese

OBJECTIVE To determine whether ketosis at the time of presentation occurs among African-American adolescents with NIDDM. METHODS We reviewed the charts of all islet cell antibody (ICA) negative patients diagnosed with NIDDM at Children's Hospital Medical Center (CHMC) between 1982 and

Antipsychotic drugs, particularly second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs), have reduced the burden to society of schizophrenia, but many still produce excessive weight gain. A significant number of SGAs also act directly to impair glycemic control causing insulin resistance, impaired glucose

A 28-year-old male presented with 2 days of vomiting and abdominal pain, preceded by 2 weeks of thirst, polyuria and polydipsia. He had recently started risperidone for obsessive-compulsive disorder. He reported a high dietary sugar intake and had a strong family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Obesity is a global epidemic. Obesity in those with type I diabetes (T1DM) contributes to poor glycemic control and complications. Bariatric surgery as management for obesity is increasing in those with T1DM. However, there is limited data pertaining to these patients and their potential

OBJECTIVE To investigate the diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) episodes occurred in diabetic adults and adolescents. METHODS We reviewed diabetic patients of admissions with DKA in West China Hospital in Chengdu from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. Clinical and laboratory data including β-cell

OBJECTIVE Despite widespread acceptance of continuous insulin infusion (CII) over bolus insulin injection (BII) for treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), there are no population-based studies demonstrating whether CII has resulted in lower morbidity and mortality. METHODS We addressed this issue

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence and the predictors of diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) in Chinese type 1 diabetics so as to lay a foundation for better prevention and treatment. METHODS For this cross-sectional study, a total of 611 patients with established type 1 diabetes between August 6, 2010

OBJECTIVE To report the occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis in three patients with acanthosis nigricans. METHODS Case reports with clinical and laboratory data are presented, and the syndrome of acanthosis nigricans is discussed. RESULTS Three obese male patients--two American Indians and one

BACKGROUND In vitro fertilization is becoming more and more popular lately, as such light is to be shed on any possible related complication. One of these complications is the possible hormonal effect on the lipid profile of the patients. METHODS We present a case of a 39-year-old woman with no
