Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana Maria Arbelaez"
- Recent research by Ana Maria Arbelaez focuses on the effects of glucose metabolism and endocrine disorders, particularly in pediatric populations, addressing conditions such as hyperglycemia, diabetes, and adrenal insufficiency through advanced imaging techniques and clinical assessments.
- Key findings include the demonstration that hyperglycemia selectively increases cerebral non-oxidative glucose consumption and highlights the need for refined diagnostic cutoffs for adrenal insufficiency when utilizing different cortisol assays in children.
- Arbelaez's work also emphasizes the impact of diabetes on brain development and cognitive function in children, exploring interventions such as hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery systems and telehealth-based exercise programs to improve outcomes for youth with diabetes and related conditions.
