Abstract
Thyrotoxicosis and sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are associated with the induction of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA). We herein report two cases of euDKA in patients with diabetes mellitus wherein both thyrotoxicosis and SGLT2i treatment were the underlying causes. One patient developed thyrotoxicosis during the course of type 2 diabetes mellitus, whereas the other patient was suspected of developing slowly progressive insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus during the course of Graves' disease. Although such cases are rare, there is some concern that similar cases may occur because of the increased frequency of SGLT2i use in recent years.

The impact of hyperglycaemic crisis episodes on long-term outcomes for inpatients presenting with acute organ injury: A prospective, multicentre follow-up study. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:1057089. [PMID: 36545333 PMCID: PMC9760800 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.1057089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term clinical outcome of poor prognosis in patients with diabetic hyperglycaemic crisis episodes (HCE) remains unknown, which may be related to acute organ injury (AOI) and its continuous damage after hospital discharge. This study aimed to observe the clinical differences and relevant risk factors in HCE with or without AOI. METHODS A total of 339 inpatients were divided into an AOI group (n=69) and a non-AOI group (n=270), and their differences and risk factors were explored. The differences in clinical outcomes and prediction models for evaluating the long-term adverse events after hospital discharge were established. RESULTS The mortality among cases complicated by AOI was significantly higher than that among patients without AOI [8 (11.59%) vs. 11 (4.07%), Q = 0.034] during hospitalization. After a 2-year follow-up, the mortality was also significantly higher in patients with concomitant AOI than in patients without AOI after hospital discharge during follow-up [13 (21.31%) vs. 15 (5.8%), Q < 0.001]. The long-term adverse events in patients with concomitant AOI were significantly higher than those in patients without AOI during follow-up [15 (24.59%) vs. 31 (11.97%), Q = 0.015]. Furthermore, Blood β-hydroxybutyric acid (P = 0.003), Cystatin C (P <0.001), serum potassium levels (P = 0.001) were significantly associated with long-term adverse events after hospital discharge. CONCLUSIONS The long-term prognosis of HCE patients complicated with AOI was significantly worse than that of HCE patients without AOI. The laboratory indicators were closely correlated with AOI, and future studies should explore the improvement of clinical outcome in response to timely interventions.

Abstract
Thyrotoxicosis manifests when excess levels of thyroid hormone act on different tissues throughout the body. Excess hormone levels can be related to endogenous production or exogenous ingestion and can present differently in patients. It has been theorized that high levels of thyroxine can irritate the neuroanatomical hiccup center leading to persistent hiccups. Although extremely rare, physicians should be aware of this entity to allow for proper diagnosis and management. Here, we discuss a rare case of thyrotoxicosis after an epidural steroid injection presenting with intractable hiccups.

Abstract
The use of IV methylprednisolone has been shown to be associated with some adverse effects. The most feared side effect is acute gastrointestinal perforation and accelerated hypertension particularly during pulse therapy. Hiccups occur less frequently but can cause high levels of discomfort to the patient. In intractable cases, respiratory arrest and death can occur. This article reports the occurrence of hiccups in a patient managed for pseudo Foster-Kennedy syndrome. The hiccups were observed shortly after IV methylprednisolone was administered to the patient and abetted over a period of one week after it was discontinued. Hiccups occur through the neuronal pathway of the hiccup reflex arc, comprising the vagus nerve, phrenic nerve, parts of the sympathetic nervous system (T6-T12), and efferent fibers from the phrenic nerve that supply the glottis and the accessory muscles of respiration. The hiccups resolved with the use of gabapentin. This case report aims to add to the existing body of knowledge of the efficacy of gabapentin in the management of hiccups.
