Hyperglycemia is a recognized complication of diarrhea-associated hemolytic-uremic syndrome (D + HUS). Hyperglycemia developed in 8 (6.6%) of 121 patients with D + HUS. A literature review revealed a further 11 patients with D + HUS who developed hyperglycemia. The mortality rate in this group of
OBJECTIVE
To determine the cause of hyperglycemia in childhood diarrhea.
METHODS
During an 8-month period, patients admitted to a diarrhea treatment center in Bangladesh had their blood glucose concentrations determined. Sixteen patients aged 2 to 10 years with hyperglycemia (blood glucose
OBJECTIVE
To identify clinical and biochemical parameters related to diarrhea occurrence in adult inpatients submitted to tube feeding.
METHODS
Weight, height, body mass index (= weight/height2) and triceps skinfold were registered, in addition to serum albumin, glucose and 24-hours urinary
BACKGROUND
Hyperglycemia in the neonate may be permanent or more frequently transient. Its treatment is still debated.
METHODS
The files of 19 infants with hyperglycemia were retrospectively analysed. Their birth-weights were more than 900 g and their gestational ages more than 27 weeks. Plasma
Diabetes mellitus and diarrhea are becoming increasingly burdensome worldwide, particularly in developing countries such as India. Diabetic patients are susceptible to infection with pathogenic bacteria, particularly those causing invasive enteric infections. In this study, we observed changes in
Histologic and immunohistochemical studies were carried out on four young cattle with diabetes mellitus associated with persistent bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) virus infection. Clinical findings included persistent hyperglycemia, decreased glucose tolerance, glycosuria, polydipsia, and severe
Little is known about effective treatment for severe diarrhea in the insulin-dependent diabetic patient. A 41-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of hyperglycemia and dysuria. She had stopped insulin self-injection therapy for 2 years and diarrhea had become worse, resulting in
Considering the disparity of criteria regarding the use of sodium bicarbonate in the management of infants with diarrhea, dehydration and metabolic acidosis, a prospective study was done in 25 infants (13 managed without and 12 with bicarbonate) where it was demonstrated; a) The use of bicarbonate
BACKGROUND
The Common Toxicity Criteria of the National Cancer Institute evaluates diarrhea as an adverse event of chemotherapy administration. Acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) causes diarrhea in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. Guidelines for treating grade 3 and 4
OBJECTIVE
To determine molecular characteristics of Clostridium difficile isolates from foals with diarrhea and identify clinical abnormalities in affected foals.
METHODS
Retrospective study.
METHODS
28 foals with C difficile-associated diarrhea.
METHODS
Toxigenicity, molecular fingerprinting, and
Using the appropriate treatment for dehydration due to diarrhea, over a million deaths a year in children under five are being prevented. After analyzing the information related to the concentration of sodium in solutions used for oral rehydration, the following conclusions can be made: 1. Solutions
Hyperglycemia and glucosuria are frequently seen during the acute phase of dehydration secondary to gastroenteritis. In this paper, 33 patients in hypovolemic shock due to diarrhea were studied. Serum glucose resulted above 140 mg/100 ml. in 14 patients (41%); it was below 27 mg/100 ml. in 2 more
Eating related difficulties and symptoms and postprandial serum glucose levels were studied in 11 patients (44 to 70 years old) five to 48 months after total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y reconstruction for carcinoma of the stomach with no signs of metastasis or residual tumor. Three tests were used.
OBJECTIVE
Diarrhea associated with acute gastrointestinal (GI) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) can result in severe morbidity and mortality. A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of octreotide in the management of
