Effects of estimated glomerular filtration rate and diabetes mellitus on the effect of insulin for treating hyperkalemia during anesthesia.

Purpose: We analyzed the effectiveness of insulin for treating hyperkalemia (≥ 5 mEq/L) during anesthesia and the effects of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and diabetes mellitus (DM) on the insulin treatment.

Methods: Patients 18 years of age and older who received intravenous insulin lispro for hyperkalemia under general anesthesia between January 2010 and March 2020 were enrolled. We performed three propensity score matching analyses according to eGFR stages (eGFR ≥ 60 vs.

Simulation of miniscrew-root distance available for molar distalization depending on the miniscrew insertion angle and vertical facial type.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of miniscrew insertion angle and vertical facial type on the interradicular miniscrew-root distance available for molar distalization.

Materials And Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography images of 60 adults with skeletal Class I occlusion exhibiting hyperdivergent (n = 20), normodivergent (n = 20), and hypodivergent (n = 20) facial types were used. Placement of a 6-mm long, 1.
