Comparison of Intranasal and Injectable Glucagon Administration Among Pediatric Population Responders.

Ease of use and acceptability of nasal versus injectable glucagon (IG) among pediatric responders have been little investigated. This study compared the performance of administering nasal and IG in parents of youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and in school workers.

Obstructive uropathy associated with uterine prolapse.

Ninety-five of 252 (38 per cent) patients with uterine prolapse who had excretory urograms were evaluated to determine the presence of ureteral obstruction. Seven of the 95 (7 per cent) had evidence of hydroureteronephrosis attributable to uterine prolapse. Two patients initially had urologic complaints, and 3 of 6 patients demonstrated resolution of the hydroureteronephrosis in post-treatment urograms.
