Scutca AC, Nicoară DM, Mang N, Jugănaru I, Brad GF, Mărginean O. Correlation between Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Cerebral Edema in Children with Severe Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Biomedicines 2023; 11:2976. [PMID: 38001976 PMCID: PMC10669654 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11112976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a common onset modality of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), can lead, in rare instances, to the development of cerebral edema, which is the leading cause of mortality in T1DM. Aside from the identification of several demographic and clinical risk factors for cerebral edema, attention has also been drawn to the possible link between systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation. This single-center retrospective study of 98 children with severe DKA aimed to investigate the possible relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio NLR) levels and the presence of cerebral edema. Patients were classified into three groups: alert (n = 28), subclinical cerebral edema (n = 59), and overt cerebral edema (n = 11). Lower blood pH and elevated NLR and blood urea were correlated with the presence of cerebral edema (p < 0.001). After a multivariable risk adjustment for possible confounding factors, such as age, pH, corrected sodium, and BUN, the NLR remained positively associated with cerebral edema (p = 0.045). As such, NLR may be an additional instrument to help practitioners target patients with a higher risk of severe cerebral edema. These patients would benefit from more rigorous neurologic surveillance, enabling the prompt identification of early signs of cerebral edema.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by the appearance of progressive kidney damage, which may progress to end-stage kidney disease. The control of hyperglycemia is usually not sufficient to halt this progression. The kidney damage is quantitatively and qualitatively different in the two forms of diabetes; the typical nodular fibrosis (Kimmelstiel Wilson nodules) appears mostly in type 1 DM, whereas glomerulomegaly is primarily present in type 2 obese DM. An analysis of the different metabolites and hormones in type 1 and type 2 DM and their differential pharmacological treatments might be helpful to advance the hypotheses on the different histopathological patterns of the kidneys and their responses to sodium/glucose transporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i).

Management of Invasive Infections in Diabetes Mellitus: A Comprehensive Review. BIOLOGICS 2023. [DOI: 10.3390/biologics3010004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
Patients with diabetes often have more invasive infections, which may lead to an increase in morbidity. The hyperglycaemic environment promotes immune dysfunction (such as the deterioration of neutrophil activity, antioxidant system suppression, and compromised innate immunity), micro- and microangiopathies, and neuropathy. A greater number of medical interventions leads to a higher frequency of infections in diabetic patients. Diabetic individuals are susceptible to certain conditions, such as rhino-cerebral mucormycosis or aspergillosis infection. Infections may either be the primary symptom of diabetes mellitus or act as triggers in the intrinsic effects of the disease, such as diabetic ketoacidosis and hypoglycaemia, in addition to increasing morbidity. A thorough diagnosis of the severity and origin of the infection is necessary for effective treatment, which often entails surgery and extensive antibiotic use. Examining the significant issue of infection in individuals with diabetes is crucial. Comprehensive research should examine why infections are more common amongst diabetics and what the preventive treatment strategies could be.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperglycaemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) is a known complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus; however, carbonated carbohydrate fluid intake may precipitate a more severe presentation of type 1 diabetes mellitus with hyperosmolar state. The management of these patients is not easy and can lead to severe complications such as cerebral venous thrombosis. METHODS We present the case of a 21-month-old boy admitted for consciousness disorders revealing a hyperglycaemic hyperosmolar state on a new-onset type 1 diabetes and who developed cerebral venous thrombosis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Emergency physicians should be aware of HHS in order to start the appropriate treatment as early as possible and to monitor the potential associated acute complications. This case highlights the importance of decreasing very gradually the osmolarity in order to avoid cerebral complications. Cerebral venous thrombosis in HHS paediatric patients is rarely described, and it is important to recognize that not all episodes of acute neurological deterioration in HHS or diabetic ketoacidosis are caused by cerebral oedema.

An Observational Cohort Study of U.S. Intensive Care Patients. Endocr Pract 2022; 28:875-883. [PMID: 35688365 DOI: 10.1016/j.eprac.2022.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Revised: 05/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The international guidelines for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) advise against rapid changes in osmolarity and glucose; however, the optimal rates of correction are unknown. We aimed to evaluate the rates of change in tonicity and glucose level in intensive care patients with DKA and their relationship with mortality and altered mental status. METHODS This is an observational cohort study using 2 publicly available databases of U.S. intensive care patients (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV and Electronic Intensive Care Unit), evaluating adults with DKA and associated hyperosmolarity (baseline Osm ≥300 mOsm/L). The primary outcome was hospital mortality. The secondary neurologic outcome used a composite of diagnosed cerebral edema or Glasgow Coma Scale score of ≤12. Multivariable regression models were used to control for confounding factors. RESULTS On adjusted analysis, patients who underwent the most rapid correction of up to approximately 3 mmol/L/hour in tonicity had reduced mortality (n = 2307; odds ratio [OR], 0.21; overall P < .001) and adverse neurologic outcomes (OR, 0.44; P < .001). Faster correction of glucose levels up to 5 mmol/L/hour (90 mg/dL/hour) was associated with improvements in mortality (n = 2361; OR, 0.24; P = .020) and adverse neurologic events (OR, 0.52; P = .046). The number of patients corrected significantly faster than these rates was low. A maximal hourly rate of correction between 2 and 5 mmol/L for tonicity was associated with the lowest mortality rate on adjusted analysis. CONCLUSION Based on large-volume observational data, relatively rapid correction of tonicity and glucose level was associated with lower mortality and more favorable neurologic outcomes. Avoiding a maximum hourly rate of correction of tonicity >5 mmol/L may be advisable.

Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most serious hyperglycemic emergency in patients with type I diabetes mellitus and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. DKA may be a life-threatening condition due to severe clinical and biological impairments and treatment-associated complications [cerebral edema, acute respiratory failure, acute renal failure (ARF), hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia]. The development of ARF with rhabdomyolysis is a rare but potentially lethal disorder in children with DKA with an estimated mortality of about 50%. Continuous renal replacement therapy is commonly used in intensive care units to provide renal replacement and fluid management. We successfully treated a 13-year-old boy with continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration, who had been diagnosed with severe DKA, complicated with hypophosphatemia-induced acute respiratory failure, rhabdomyolysis and ARF, persistent acidosis, and coma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperosmolar diabetic ketoacidosis (H-DKA), a distinct clinical entity, is the overlap of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS). AIM We describe the clinical presentation, metabolic aberrations, and associated morbidity/mortality of these cases with H-DKA. We highlight the problem areas of medical care which require particular attention when caring for pediatric diabetes patients presenting with H-DKA. METHODS In our study we reviewed the literature back to 1963 and retrieved twenty-four cases meeting the criteria of H-DKA: glucose >600 mg/dL, pH < 7.3, bicarbonate <15 mEq/L, and serum osmolality >320 mOsm/kg, while adding three cases from our institution. RESULTS Average age of presentation of H-DKA was 10.2 years ± 4.5 years in females and 13.3 years ± 4 years in males, HbA1c was 13%. Biochemical parameters were consistent with severe dehydration: serum osmolality = 394.8±55 mOsm/kg, BUN = 48±22 mg/dL, creatinine = 2.81±1.03 mg/dL. Acute kidney injury, present in 12 cases, was the most frequent end-organ complication. CONCLUSION Multi-organ involvement with AKI, rhabdomyolysis, pancreatitis, neurological and cardiac issues such as arrhythmias, are common in H-DKA. Aggressive fluid management, insulin therapy and supportive care can prevent acute and long term adverse outcomes in children and adolescents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate the significance and prevalence of lactic acidosis in pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) presenting to the emergency department. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of children (age ≤ 21 years) presenting to a tertiary care emergency department in DKA from December 1, 2015 to December 1, 2018. Patients needed to have DKA requiring admission to the pediatric intensive care unit and have had a lactate level collected while in the emergency department to be included. RESULTS 92 patients resulting in 113 encounters had DKA and a lactate level collected in the emergency department. The mean lactate level was 3.5 mmol/L (±SD 2.1). 72 (63.7%) encounters had lactic acidosis (p < 0.001). There was no significant association between the presence of lactic acidosis and pediatric intensive care unit length of stay (p = 0.321), hospital length of stay (p = 0.426), morbidity (p = 0.552) and mortality (p = 1.000). Initial glucose levels were significantly higher in the patients presenting with lactic acidosis (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Lactic acidosis is a common finding in pediatric DKA patients presenting to the emergency department. Serum lactate alone should not be used as an outcome predictor in pediatric DKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucormycosis is a potentially fatal complication of diabetes. The rhino-orbito-cerebral form is the most common presentation, however, rarely other types can also be seen. CASE PRESENTATION We describe the case of a 4½ -year-old boy not previously known to be a diabetic who presented to the plastic surgery department for gangrene of the left middle finger with surrounding erythema and induration. After the diagnosis of diabetes and initial treatment, pus from the wound showed broad aseptate hyphae suggestive of mucormycosis which was further confirmed on culture. Aggressive surgical debridement including amputation, antifungal treatment and glycemic control achieved a complete cure. CONCLUSIONS Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus and can even be seen at the onset of diabetes. High index of suspicion, timely antifungal treatment and aggressive surgical debridement usually lead to recovery in the localized form of the disease.

Abstract
Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is rarely reported in pediatric patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). We report this case of a 16-year-old female with new onset diabetes presenting with DKA, who received aggressive fluid resuscitation and sodium bicarbonate in the emergency department. Later she developed altered mental status concerning for cerebral edema and received hyperosmolar therapy with only transient improvement. Soon she became apneic requiring emergent endotracheal intubation. MRI brain showed cerebral edema, CPM, and subdural hemorrhage. She was extubated on day seven and exhibited mild dysmetria, ataxia, unilateral weakness, and neglect. Upon discharge she was able to ambulate with a walker and speak and eat without difficulty. Although less common than cerebral edema, CPM should be considered in DKA patients with acute neurologic deterioration. Fluid and bicarbonate therapy should be individualized, but larger studies would help guide the management. Although poor outcomes are reported in CPM, favorable outcomes are possible.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is considered a risk factor associated with oral yeast infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the yeast oral carriage (in saliva and mucosal surface) of children with T1D and potential relation with host factors, particularly the subset of CD4+ T cells. Yeasts were quantified and identified in stimulated saliva and in cheek mucosal swabs of 133 diabetic T1D and 72 healthy control subjects. Salivary lymphocytes were quantified using flow cytometry. The presence of yeasts in the oral cavity (60% of total patients) was not affected by diabetes, metabolic control, duration of the disease, salivary flow rate or saliva buffer capacity, by age, sex, place of residence, number of daily meals, consumption of sweets or frequency of tooth brushing. Candida albicans was the most prevalent yeast species, but a higher number of yeast species was isolated in nondiabetics. T1D children with HbA1c ≤ 7.5 (metabolically controlled) presented higher number of CD4+ T salivary subsets when compared with the other groups of children (non-diabetic and nonmetabolically controlled) and also presented the highest number of individuals without oral yeast colonization. In conclusion, T1D does not predisposes for increased oral yeast colonization and a higher number of salivary CD4+T cells seems to result in the absence of oral colonization by yeasts.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a well-recognized risk factor for arterial thrombosis, however its relationship to venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adults is still debated. We report here seven cases of fatal pulmonary thromboembolism in adults with diabetic ketoacidosis as the underlying cause. In four of seven cases, there was no prior diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and patients were newly diagnosed either upon presenting to the hospital in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or at the time of autopsy by the vitreous glucose concentration. None of the patients had family history, recent surgery, recent trauma, long distance travel, or other strong risk factors for VTE. Only two patients had a body mass index greater than 35 kg/m2 and the same two cases had hospital stays that ranged from three to five days. We believe that DKA is a frequently unrecognized and sometimes overlooked risk factor for VTE, particularly in the forensic setting where routine toxicology and vitreous glucose analysis may not be standard practices. We encourage forensic pathologists, medical examiners, and coroners to consider the possibility of diabetic ketoacidosis as a risk factor, and in some cases, the underlying etiology for pulmonary thromboembolism. Additionally, we recommend vitreous glucose testing be performed if there are any signs of DKA or diabetes present, such as acetone in the blood.

Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the leading cause of hospitalizations for pediatric patients with diabetes mellitus. The most severe complication of DKA is cerebral edema that may lead to brain herniation. We present a case report that highlights the subclinical presentation of DKA-related cerebral edema in a pediatric patient and review the acute care management of suspected cerebral edema during transport.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). The objective of this report was to highlight the clinical and laboratory importance in the treatment of patients with DKA during a 15-year period treated at the Hospital Infantil del Estado de Sonora (HIES). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 140 patients with episodes of DKA to report clinical and laboratory features, mortality, and treatment with HIES protocol. RESULTS Mortality was 0%. Using descriptive statistics we observed minimal complications without neurologic sequelae in three patients with cerebral edema. CONCLUSIONS The HIES protocol is a practical and effective electrolyte and acid-base treatment for DKA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This report describes two adolescent males in China who suffered from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS) complicated by rhabdomyolysis (RM). After sufficient fluid administration, both patients recovered. DESIGN Case report. RESULTS These two obese patients suffered from T2DM, DKA and HHS. Because of insufficient fluid administration, these patients became aggravated and suffered from RM. After aggressive fluid resuscitation and insulin injection, the conditions of the two patients improved. Insulin administration was ceased after approximately 1 month of subcutaneous injections. The two patients attained good glucose control with diet management. CONCLUSIONS HHS is one of the most severe complications of T2DM. RM is a sign that the condition of a patient with HHS may worsen. Although management strategies are undefined, effective fluid infusion was shown to be helpful. Thus, the early signs of HHS and RM should be recognized so as to avoid severe complications.

Abstract
Mucormycosis is a rare but fatal, opportunistic fungal infection caused by fungi of the order of mucorales in the class of Zygomycetes. Isolated pulmonary mucormycosis is rare and occurs principally in particular conditions, especially in patients with uncontrolled diabetes. The fungi invades the blood vessels and causes distal ischemic necrosis. We report a case in a 13-year-old girl with diabetes mellitus who developed pulmonary zygomycosis complicated with thrombus of the left atrial auricle. The diagnosis of mucormycosis was confirmed by histologic examination of endobronchial biopsies. Combined treatment with systemic amphotericin B and surgery resulted in a favorable outcome. This difficult diagnosis must be raised in diabetic patients with unresponsive lung infections in order to apply early aggressive therapy. Successful management continues to be early diagnosis, followed by systemic antifungal therapy and surgical resection combined with control of the underlying disease.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood and is caused by insulin deficiency resulting from the autoimmune destruction of insulin producing beta cells of the pancreas. Most children in the US with new onset T1DM present with the classic signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia and 30% with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Neurologic manifestations are relatively rare and mostly include lethargy, decreased level of consciousness, and coma as a result of DKA. In this article, five cases of new onset T1DM with exceedingly rare or unreported neurologic manifestations in the pediatric age group are presented, along with a review of the literature.

Abstract
AIM Since vanadium complexes have insulin-mimetic effects and can be used to treat complications of diabetes, we aimed to screen a new oxovanadium complex with a low toxicity, and investigate its insulin-mimetic effects, as well as the mechanism of improvement to diabetic mouse renal function. METHODS Cells were treated with oxovanadium complexes, and viability was assessed by MTT assay. Diabetic mouse model was established using alloxan. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) in the mice were measured using an automatic biochemical analyzer, and blood glucose was measured using a Glucoval Compact meter. Expression of proteins related to the insulin signaling pathway in the renal cortex of mice was measured by Western blot analysis. RESULTS Diabetic mice developed high blood glucose, BUN and SCr levels compared with control mice. The new oxovanadium complex with 3,5-dimethyl-pyrazolyl ligand, VO(HB(3,5-Me2pz)3)(3,5-Me2pz)(SCN)(SCNH)2, showed low toxicity and significantly reduced blood glucose, BUN and SCr levels in the diabetic mice. Additionally, p42/p44MAPK and Akt phosphorylation was markedly increased in diabetic mice and was decreased by treatment with the new oxovanadium complex. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) expression was greatly decreased in diabetic mice and significantly increased after treatment with the new oxovanadium complex. CONCLUSIONS The new oxovanadium complex, with 3,5-dimethyl-pyrazolyl ligand, improves kidney function in diabetic mice, and its mechanism may involve regulation of the insulin signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess current rates of complications of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), particularly cerebral edema, in a large tertiary-care pediatric hospital with a consistent management protocol. STUDY DESIGN We report our single-center retrospective experience with 3712 admissions with DKA in 1999-2011. Our DKA protocol features a "3-bag" system using 2 bags of rehydration fluids, identical except for the presence in 1 bag of 10% dextrose, to allow rapid adjustment of glucose infusion rate. The third bag contains insulin. Fluids are administered at a total rate of 2-2.5 times "maintenance" fluid requirements. Total electrolyte concentration is kept approximately isotonic. Billing and medical records databases at Children's Medical Center Dallas were examined for cases of DKA, cerebral edema, other morbidities, and death. RESULTS We ascertained 20 cases of cerebral edema (0.5%). Most presented early (median duration of treatment 2 hours). Only 10 of 20 computed tomography scans were graded as moderate edema or worse. Only 10 patients received treatment other than routine DKA management. There was 1 death in a patient with sickle cell trait who developed intravascular sickling. Two patients had neurologic sequelae at hospital discharge but both recovered fully. CONCLUSIONS Compared with data in recent consensus statements, the Dallas protocol is associated with extremely low rates of death and disability (0.08% vs 0.3%) from DKA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether the development of hypokalemia in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) treated in the pediatric critical care unit (PCCU) could be caused by increased potassium (K(+)) excretion and its association with insulin treatment. STUDY DESIGN In this prospective observational study of patients with DKA admitted to the PCCU, blood and timed urine samples were collected for measurement of sodium (Na(+)), K(+), and creatinine concentrations and for calculations of Na(+) and K(+) balances. K(+) excretion rate was expressed as urine K(+)-to-creatinine ratio and fractional excretion of K(+). RESULTS Of 31 patients, 25 (81%) developed hypokalemia (plasma K(+) concentration <3.5 mmol/L) in the PCCU at a median time of 24 hours after therapy began. At nadir plasma K(+) concentration, urine K(+)-to-creatinine ratio and fractional excretion of K(+) were greater in patients who developed hypokalemia compared with those without hypokalemia (19.8 vs 6.7, P = .04; and 31.3% vs 9.4%, P = .004, respectively). Patients in the hypokalemia group received a continuous infusion of intravenous insulin for a longer time (36.5 vs 20 hours, P = .015) and greater amount of Na(+) (19.4 vs 12.8 mmol/kg, P = .02). At peak kaliuresis, insulin dose was higher in the hypokalemia group (median 0.07, range 0-0.24 vs median 0.025, range 0-0.05 IU/kg; P = .01), and there was a significant correlation between K(+) and Na(+) excretion (r = 0.67, P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS Hypokalemia was a delayed complication of DKA treatment in the PCCU, associated with high K(+) and Na(+) excretion rates and a prolonged infusion of high doses of insulin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies of hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS) in children are limited to case series or single-institution reviews, which describe HHS primarily in children with type 2 diabetes mellitus. OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence and describe the epidemiologic characteristics of HHS among children in USA. SUBJECTS All discharges in the Kids' Inpatient Database - a triennial, nationwide, stratified probability sample of hospital discharges for years 1997-2009 - with age 0-18 yr and a diagnosis of HHS. METHODS Using sample weights, we calculated the incidence and population rate of hospitalization with a diagnosis of HHS. RESULTS Our sample included 1074 HHS hospitalizations; of these, 42.9% were 16-18 yr, 70.6% had type 1 diabetes (T1D), and 53.0% had major or extreme severity of illness. The median length of stay was 2.6 d, 2.7% of hospitalizations ended in death, and median hospital charge was $10 882. When comparing HHS hospitalizations by diabetes type, the proportion with T1D fell steadily with age, from 89.1% among children 0-9 yr, to 65.1% in 16-18 yr olds. Patients with T1D had a shorter length of stay by 0.9 d, and had a lower median charge by $5311. There was no difference in mortality by diabetes type. Population rates for HHS hospitalization rose 52.4% from 2.1 to 3.2 per 1 000 000 children from 1997 to 2009. CONCLUSION Hospitalizations for a diagnosis of HHS have high morbidity and are increasing in incidence since 1997. In contrast to prior reports, we found a substantial percentage of HHS hospitalizations occurred among children with T1D.

Abstract
Neurological complications of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) are still associated with significant mortality and morbidity. We report on two children who suffered from acute cerebral infarction (CI) and extra pontine myelinolysis (EPM) at onset of type 1 diabetes. Initially, clinical management had not been performed according to generally accepted guidelines. Putative risk factors that may have predisposed for the development of acute cerebrovascular complications are discussed. Not only cerebral edema (CE) but also other severe neurological complications such as CI should be suspected when neurological deterioration occurs during DKA. We conclude that not only an exceeded rehydration therapy but also a rapidly reduced serum osmolality due to an unbalanced rapid blood sugar decrease and serum sodium increase may have lead to the neurological disease. We propose that a reserved and well-defined rehydration strategy in the first 6 (-12) h of therapy is crucial for recovery and can reduce neurological complications of patients with DKA.

Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a state of severe insulin deficiency, either absolute or relative, resulting in hyperglycemia and ketonemia. Although possibly underappreciated, up to 10% of cases of intracerebral complications associated with an episode of DKA, and/or its treatment, in children and youth are due to hemorrhage or ischemic brain infarction. Systemic inflammation is present in DKA, with resultant vascular endothelial perturbation that may result in coagulopathy and increased hemorrhagic risk. Thrombotic risk during DKA is elevated by abnormalities in coagulation factors, platelet activation, blood volume and flow, and vascular reactivity. DKA-associated cerebral edema may also predispose to ischemic injury and hemorrhage, though cases of stroke without concomitant cerebral edema have been identified. We review the current literature regarding the pathogenesis of stroke during an episode of DKA in children and youth.

Abstract
Overweight and obesity in youth is a worldwide public health problem. Overweight and obesity in childhood and adolescents have a substantial effect upon many systems, resulting in clinical conditions such as metabolic syndrome, early atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, hypertension and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Obesity and the type of body fat distribution are still the core aspects of insulin resistance and seem to be the physiopathologic links common to metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and T2D. The earlier the appearance of the clustering of risk factors and the higher the time of exposure, the greater will be the chance of developing coronary disease with a more severe endpoint. The age when the event may occur seems to be related to the presence and aggregation of risk factors throughout life.The treatment in this age-group is non pharmacological and aims at promoting changes in lifestyle. However, pharmacological treatments are indicated in special situations.The major goals in dietary treatments are not only limited to weight loss, but also to an improvement in the quality of life. Modification of risk factors associated to comorbidities, personal satisfaction of the child or adolescent and trying to establish healthy life habits from an early age are also important. There is a continuous debate on the best possible exercise to do, for children or adolescents, in order to lose weight. The prescription of physical activity to children and adolescents requires extensive integrated work among multidisciplinary teams, patients and their families, in order to reach therapeutic success.The most important conclusion drawn from this symposium was that if the growing prevalence of overweight and obesity continues at this pace, the result will be a population of children and adolescents with metabolic syndrome. This would lead to high mortality rates in young adults, changing the current increasing trend of worldwide longevity. Government actions and a better understanding of the causes of this problem must be implemented worldwide, by aiming at the prevention of obesity in children and adolescents.

Abstract
DNA POLG is the only mitochondrial DNA polymerase and is encoded by nuclear DNA. Depending on the location and inheritance, mutations in POLG1, the catalytic subunit, can cause symptoms including severe infantile epilepsy, metabolic strokes, chronic ataxia, neuropathy, and ophthalmoplegia. We reviewed medical records and conducted extensive interviews with the family of identical twin probands with a mutation in the linker region of DNA polymerase gamma 1 (POLG1) (G517V) and discuss postmortem findings from their grandmother. Both twins developed type I diabetes, adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, and psychiatric problems in addition to neurological difficulties including bilateral basal ganglia infarcts, headaches, and seizures. The maternal grandmother, now deceased, had psychosis and balance problems, and postmortem findings include lacunar infarcts in the basal ganglia (caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus) and posterior spinal column degeneration. We discuss novel aspects of their presentation and implications for practice.

Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the main hyperglycemic complication in type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1). The basic principles in treatment have to be followed carefully. The patient with DKA has a very deep volume depletion. To restore the circulatory capacity is the first step. From this point on, the restoration of the lost fluids is slow, around 1% per hour, aiming at the correction of the metabolic disturbance already on and avoiding great fluctuations in osmolality, which increases the risk of having complications. Attention to the development of cerebral edema, which, once suspected, deserves an urgent treatment plan, trying to avoid neurologic sequelae or even death. Subcutaneous ultra-rapid insulin has been demonstrated to be efficient and easier to use. As the perfusion gets improved and the levels of insulin increase, the lipolysis is blocked, as well as the generation of ketones and so the acidemia tends to be solved. DKA is still a high-mortality condition. And to be in a hurry frequently leads to neurologic sequelae and even to a fatal outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess glycemic control and complications of type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents in Tanzania. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This demographic and clinical survey included 99 children aged between 5 and 18 years attending Muhimbili National Hospital Clinic for Diabetes. A structured questionnaire was used for evaluating socioeconomic data and for estimation of the prevalence of acute complications occurring over the last 6 months. The prevalences of retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy were determined by fundus ophthalmoscopy and by microalbuminuria, respectively. RESULTS All of these children were treated with a conventional insulin regimen. The mean +/- SD duration of diabetes was 4.76 +/- 3.58 years. Only 1 child (1%) had good glycemic control (A1C <7.5%), 60 children (60.6%) had moderate glycemic control (A1C 7.5-10%), 14 children (14.1%) had poor glycemic control (A1C >10-12.5%), and 24 children (24.2%) had very poor glycemic control (A1C >12.5%). At onset of diabetes, 75% of children presented with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA); 89 children (89.80%) had at least one episode of DKA, and 55 children (55.67%) had symptomatic hypoglycemic episodes. Microalbuminuria was present in 29 (29.3%) and retinopathy in 22 (22.68%) children. CONCLUSIONS Although there are some methodological limitations, this survey highlights the difficulties of achieving good metabolic control and the high prevalence of acute and chronic complications in Tanzanian children with type 1 diabetes. These results clearly show that major efforts are needed to improve quality of care in children with type 1 diabetes in Tanzania.
