Foetal hydrops is always a challenge for the clinician. We report a case of tachycardia associated with hydrops and hydramnios in a pregnancy complicated with diabetic coma at 28 weeks gestation. Normal foetal heart rate was recorded immediately after correction of maternal acidotic status and
To investigate the pathophysiology of cerebral edema occurring during treatment of diabetic coma, the effects of hyperglycemia and rapid lowering of plasma glucose were evaluated in normal rabbits. During 2 h of hyperglycemia (plasma glucose=61 mM), both brain (cerebral cortex) and muscle initially
The case of a 63-year-old man with acute obstructive hydrocephalus is presented. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of acute obstructive hydrocephalus associated with nonketotic hyperosmolar diabetic coma. It is believed that the plasma hyperosmolality resulted in osmotic
The authors report the case of a 12-year-old boy with hyperosmolar nonketotic diabetic coma. Pathogenetic aspects and the HLA genotype are discussed. To reduce the hyperglycaemia, a continuous intravenous infusion of regular insulin at a low rate was used. The too rapidly infused sodium-bicarbonate
Bilateral putaminal hemorrhages rarely occur simultaneously in hypertensive patients. The association of intracerebral hemorrhage with cerebral edema (CE) has been rarely reported in diabetic patients. We present a patient with bilateral putaminal hemorrhage (BPH) and CE during the course of
A brief review of some therapy results in 763 episodes of diabetic coma from 1960 to 1973 reveals a significant decrease in lethality after institution of an intensive care unit. Present aspects of management are: intensification of shock therapy, potassium substitution and treatment of cerebral
The experiences of English teams with continuous intravenous infusion of small doses of insulin (6-10 IU/h) for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis are reported. This form of therapy is based on recent knowledge of the physiological degree of the serum insulin level (20-200 muU/ml) and the
Twenty-one patients in severe diabetic coma were treated with small doses of insulin at a rate of 4.1 units per hour (total dose about 100 units per 24 hours). Using single doses of 4 to 10 units by the intravenous or intramuscular routes the fall of blood glucose was steady in all cases. In the
