Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine normal levels of cardiac troponin-I in stable newborns and see how factors like maternal diabetes, delivery method, and Apgar scores influence these levels.
- A total of 132 newborns were analyzed, with 119 for baseline troponin-I levels and 13 who were born to mothers with SARS-CoV-2.
- Results showed a mean troponin-I level of 0.019 ± 0.018 ng/mL in healthy newborns, with no significant differences based on maternal health or delivery method, while those born to mothers with SARS-CoV-2 had higher levels at 0.081 ± 0.1 ng/mL.
There has been a worldwide increase in cases of diabetic ketoacidosis in both adults and children with diabetes during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. This can be multifactorial: delayed care due to reduced medical services, fear of approaching hospitals, or SARS-CoV-2 infection itself. It is well-known that infection is an important trigger for diabetic ketoacidosis in children with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, but little is known whether SARS-CoV-2 infection can trigger diabetic ketoacidosis and new-onset diabetes mellitus in a child with no previous history of diabetes mellitus.

Topical anaesthetics have been reported to cause methaemoglobinaemia. Topical benzocaine was specifically implicated in roughly 66% of anesthetic-induced methaemoglobinaemia cases in a large systematic review in adults.
