Article Synopsis
- Study Overview
- : This research analyzed the factors leading to recurrent diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in 265 patients hospitalized at Hennepin County Medical Center from January 2017 to January 2019, focusing on differences between those with single versus multiple admissions.
- Key Findings
- : 48 patients experienced recurrent DKA, with significant risk factors being African American race, younger age, type 1 diabetes, history of homelessness, and drug abuse, showing a strong correlation between social determinants and recurrence.
- Implications
- : The high cost associated with DKA admissions (averaging nearly $30,000) underscores the necessity for targeted preventative care programs to reduce recurrence and improve patient outcomes.
Pituitary collision tumors are sporadically reported and rare. We present a case of pituitary collision tumors with nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) and craniopharyngioma. In order to look for any common activated pathway, we examined WNT/β-CATENIN signaling activation, known to be involved in tumorigenesis in both craniopharyngioma and NFPA.
