Pregnancy With Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Hypertriglyceridemia-Induced Acute Pancreatitis: The Enigmatic Triad.

Acute pancreatitis in pregnancy is a rare condition. Acute pancreatitis due to hypertriglyceridemia in a case of diabetic ketoacidosis is also a very rare condition with a very high mortality rate. Here, we report a case of a 34-week pregnancy with pregnancy-induced hypertension, diabetic ketoacidosis, and hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis with underlying gallstone disease, which might have contributed to the etiology of pancreatitis.

Use of ABI to detect peripheral arterial disease in diabetes - A recommendation for primary care physicians.

Background: India is considered the diabetes capital of the world. As per current practice, most of the diabetes patients go to primary care physicians for their monitoring and follow up. One of the dreaded complications of long-term diabetes is peripheral arterial disease.

Tuberculosis of the Sternoclavicular Joint: Report of Three cases.

Ebstein's anomaly accounts for 0.3% to 0.7% of all cases of congenital heart disease.

Clofazimine-induced methemoglobinemia: A rare incidence.

Clofazimine is commonly used for the treatment of leprosy and chronic use of it can lead to methemoglobinemia, which is a rare but major concern. Iron of hemoglobin remains in the form of ferric (Fe3+) in methemoglobinemia as compared with ferrous form (Fe2+) in normal situation. This transformation prevents oxygen carriage and results in higher level of MetHb in blood which could be dangerous to life.

A molecular model of artificial photosynthesis: Mn-Ca binuclear complex for photosynthetic oxidation of water.

The redox active component of oxygenic photosynthetic reaction center II contains metal cluster Mn4-Ca, where two H2O are oxidized to O2 and four H+ ions are liberated. A binuclear Mn-Ca metal center binding one substrate H2O on each ion is proposed to be the minimal unit of the redox center. A model for the water oxidizing metal cluster is built with molecular modeling software (HyperChem 8.
