Ketoacidosis in a non-diabetic lactating woman: A case report and literature review.

We report the case of a 36-year-old woman who developed non-diabetic ketoacidosis following a low carbohydrate diet in order to lose weight while actively breast feeding her newborn. She was admitted in intensive care unit because of severe metabolic acidosis. She rapidly recovered after refeeding process.

Delayed retroperitoneal liposarcoma diagnosis and management in a patient with massive obesity.

People suffering from extreme obesity may be exposed to delayed diagnosis and treatment of cancer. A 37-year-old woman (weight = 245 kg, body mass index (BMI) = 79 kg/m), presented a sepsis associated with nonspecific abdominal pain for 4 months. After several unsuccessful attempts due to her weight and a large waist circumference, abdominal CT scan was finally successfully performed and showed a large retroperitoneal mass.

The Influence of the Structural and Morphological Properties of WO Thin Films Obtained by PLD on the Photoelectrochemical Water-Splitting Reaction Efficiency.

Due to its physical and chemical properties, the n-type tungsten oxide (WO) semiconductor is a suitable photoanode for water decomposition reaction. The responses of the photoelectrochemical PEC water-splitting properties as an effect of structural and optical changes of WO thin films, as well as the nature of electrolyte solutions, were studied in this work. The WO thins films have been obtained by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on silicon (Si(001)) covered with platinum substrates using three different laser wavelengths.

[Nutritional Management of Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)].

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is strongly associated with obesity and insulin resistance. There is currently no pharmacological treatment validated in steatosis. The combination of weight loss and adequate physical activity can improve liver steatosis.
