Developments in the management of patients with sepsis.

30 Jul 2009 Sepsis is associated with a high incidence of mortality and morbidity, however with appropriate strategies for monitoring and early targeted intervention mortality rates decline. This article examines the basic pathophysiology of the inflammatory ... Read more...

Hypoglycemia and clinical outcomes in patients with diabetes hospitalized in the general ward.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: Hypoglycemia is associated with adverse outcomes in mixed populations of patients in intensive care units. It is not known whether the same risks exist for diabetic patients who are less severely ill. In this study, we aimed to determine ... Read more...

The impact of early hypoglycemia and blood glucose variability on outcome in critical illness.

15 Jun 2009 INTRODUCTION: In critical illness, the association of hypoglycemia, blood glucose (BG) variability and outcome are not well understood. We describe the incidence, clinical factors and outcomes associated with an early hypoglycemia and BG variability ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hypoglycemia'

Definition: A syndrome of abnormally low BLOOD GLUCOSE level. Clinical hypoglycemia has diverse etiologies. Severe hypoglycemia eventually lead to glucose deprivation of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM resulting in HUNGER; SWEATING; PARESTHESIA; impaired mental function; SEIZURES; COMA; and even DEATH.
