Article Synopsis
- - Hamman's syndrome is a rare complication of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) that causes subcutaneous emphysema and spontaneous pneumomediastinum, as demonstrated in a case involving an 11-year-old boy with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes.
- - The patient showed classic DKA symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, abdominal pain, and fatigue and was initially treated with IV fluids and insulin before being transferred to a specialized children's hospital.
- - Upon examination, he showed signs of Hamman's syndrome, which was resolved with conservative treatment, emphasizing the need for awareness of this condition in pediatric DKA cases to ensure proper diagnosis and management.
Article Synopsis
- The research investigates how lowering systolic blood pressure (SBP) can help reduce the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and its economic impact within healthcare.
- A health economic model was used to analyze factors like smoking, diabetes, and cholesterol, and found that reducing SBP is the most effective way to lower CVD risk.
- Results showed a significant decrease in CVD deaths and costs, indicating that population-level SBP reduction is both effective and cost-saving in improving health outcomes related to cardiovascular conditions.
Objectives: We hypothesised that growth hormone (GH) deficiency (GHD) in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is rare. This study aimed to determine any distinct clinical or biochemical parameters, including GH provocation testing, in children with ADHD on psychostimulants or idiopathic short stature (ISS).
Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study of children who had GH provocative testing between 1998 and 2013 at one tertiary paediatric endocrine centre.
Aim: Previous studies suggest a lack of a unified approach in identifying and addressing children with obesity while being inpatients in individual Australian hospitals. Our study aimed to describe current clinical practice across Australia and identify discrepancies that can aid in developing a more unified response to children identified with obesity as hospital inpatients.
Methods: A cross-sectional exploratory online survey was distributed to major paediatric in-patient departments in Australia, with a response rate of 68%.
