Filter by:Fasting ketoacidosis adds morbidity to children affected by gastrointestinal infections. The investigators investigate oral glucose gel for its effectiveness in rapidly reducing ketoacidosis and for improvements in oral hydration therapy success.
The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) among participants diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and pair-matched on exposure propensity scores for new use of any sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) versus new use of various other antihyperglycemic agents (AHAs), combined as one group.
The management goals of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1DM) population are fluid and electrolyte repletion, insulin administration, and correction of acidosis in order to stabilize the patient. Traditionally, a rapid-acting insulin IV infusion is begun immediately and continued until the acidosis is corrected and hyperglycemia normalized. Once the acidosis is corrected, patients are able to be transitioned to a subcutaneous insulin regimen. The role that a subcutaneous long-acting insulin such as glargine has in the acute treatment of DKA has not been extensively studied. While giving glargine during the treatment of DKA is becoming more common place, few studies have examined the potential risks and benefits of its use. This study will investigate the effects of early administration of glargine during DKA in patients with newly diagnosed TIDM. The design of this study is a prospective, double-blind study of children ages 2-21 who are admitted to the hospital in DKA with a diagnosis of T1DM. The control group will receive all traditional methods of treatment for DKA, including a placebo subcutaneous injection. The study group will receive the same treatment, but will be supplemented with a subcutaneous glargine injection.
The goal of the study is to see if the addition of a carbohydrate- and protein-enhanced gel during labor speeds labor and reduces the rate of cesarean delivery.
The purpose of this study is to assess brain and memory changes in patients with uncontrolled diabetes (a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA))
The purpose with the study is to follow the fluid shifts that occur during fluid resuscitation of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis. In the study measurements of changes in blood and urine concentrations of Sodium and Chloride as well as blood hemoglobin are used to mathematically calculate changes in distribution volumes of these different endogenous markers.
About the Study: This research study is being conducted to see if diabetic ketoacidosis has any impact on learning, behavior and development in children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. If there is an impact, is it transient or persistent? Sixty to 80 children between the ages of 4 to 17 years with Type 1 diabetes mellitus will have neuropsychological testing and a non-sedated MRI scan of the head performed. The investigators will compare this to a control group of 30-40 children between the ages of 4 to 17 years without Type 1 diabetes mellitus. The children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus will not have any changes made to their current diabetes regimen. The children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus should continue to check blood glucose values as required by your doctor and bring their meter(s) for downloading to each visit. The children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus should also tell your doctor about the frequency of severe low and high blood glucose values.
This is a research study to understand how diabetic ketoacidosis may affect the brain and learning and to see if these changes are transient or permanent. The investigators hope to learn more about how diabetic ketoacidosis may cause changes in brain compliance (by wearing a non-invasive head band/helmet like device from Jan Medical: The Nautilus Neurowave System™ (NNS), learning, talking, behavior, or development. The investigators will compare those results from those with diabetes mellitus to those age and gendered matched healthy controls. Possible subjects in this study have diabetes mellitus and are between the ages of 10 to less than 17 years old OR do NOT have diabetes and are between the ages of 10 to less than 17 years old.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 study. Specific aim is to evaluate feasibility and safety of anti-IL-1 (interleukin 1) treatment in the course of standard therapy for diabetic ketoacidosis in children and its effect on intracranial pressure.
The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing four different intravenous (IV) fluid treatment protocols for pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Two rates of rehydration will be compared; a more rapid rate and a slower rate. Within each of these two basic rehydration protocols, the investigators will vary the type of rehydration fluid used (0.9% saline or 0.45% saline). The investigators will compare the different treatments by conducting assessments of neurological injury, by measuring the frequency of significant cerebral edema, and by measuring long-term neurocognitive function. These studies will allow us to determine whether variations in IV fluid treatment protocols affect acute neurological outcomes of DKA. Additionally, they will provide important data regarding the impact of DKA and DKA treatment on long-term neurocognitive function in children. In this way, the investigators hope to identify a more ideal fluid management strategy for children with DKA. Previous studies have suggested that DKA may cause blood flow to the brain to be reduced and that brain injury might result from this reduction in blood flow and/or the effects of re-establishment of normal blood flow during DKA treatment with insulin and iv fluids. The investigators hypothesize that more rapidly re-establishing normal blood flow to the brain during DKA, by giving fluids more rapidly and using fluids with a higher sodium (salt) content, will help to minimize brain injury caused by DKA.
