Prospective analysis of glycemic variability in patients with severe traumatic brain injury: modified Leuven's adjustment process versus conventional adjustment process.

Objective This study was performed to evaluate the effect of two different methods of controlling glycemic variability (GV) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI) undergoing surgery. Methods Patients with STBI were randomly grouped into a conventional adjustment process (CAP) group and modified Leuven's adjustment process (mLAP) group. Each group included 50 patients.

Bis(μ-pyridine-2,4-dicarboxyl-ato)-κN,O:O;κO:N,O-bis-[triaqua-magnesium(II)].

In the title centrosymmetric Mg(II) complex, [Mg(2)(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)(H(2)O)(6)], each Mg cation is N,O-chelated by a pyridine-2,4-dicarboxyl-ate dianion and is coordinated by three water mol-ecules. A carboxyl-ate O atom from the neighboring pyridine-2,4-dicarboxyl-ate dianion bridges the Mg cation to complete the MgNO(5) distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The dinuclear complex mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure.
