Effect of Volume of Fluid Resuscitation on Metabolic Normalization in Children Presenting in Diabetic Ketoacidosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: The optimal rate of fluid administration in pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is unknown.

Objective: Our aim was to determine whether the volume of fluid administration in children with DKA influences the rate of metabolic normalization.

Methods: We performed a randomized controlled trial conducted in a tertiary pediatric emergency department from December 2007 until June 2010.

Emotion recognition deficits in pediatric anxiety disorders: implications for amygdala research.

Introduction: Anxiety disorders in adults involve aberrant processing of emotional information that is hypothesized to reflect perturbations in the amygdala. This study examines the relationship between face-emotion recognition and anxiety in a sample of children and adolescents participating in a brain-imaging study of amygdala structure and function.

Methods: This study recruited 15 children and adolescents with ongoing anxiety disorders and 11 psychiatrically healthy comparisons group-matched on age, gender, and IQ.
