Poor glycemic control is associated with abnormal changes in 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: Twenty-four hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) is emerging as a valuable tool to assess blood pressure (BP) changes in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). Hypertension (HTN) is an important risk factor for, and may be an important indicator of diabetic nephropathy. Early accurate identification of HTN in DM1 may improve outcomes.

Twenty-four hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: getting started.

Twenty-four hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a valuable tool in the pediatric and adolescent population with type 1 diabetes. It provides useful information not readily available from sporadic clinic blood pressure (BP) measurements and a more reliable estimation of the subject's BP over an extended period of time. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is gaining popularity with clinicians and investigators alike.

Identifying risk factors for the development of diabetic ketoacidosis in new onset type 1 diabetes mellitus.

To identify risk factors associated with the development of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus, a retrospective chart review of 139 new onset type 1 diabetes patients from 1995 to 1998 was conducted. Categorical data were examined with contingency table analysis. Age range was 0.

Infant with mos45,x/46,XY/47,XYY/48,XYYY: genetic and clinical findings.

We describe an infant with mos45,X/46,XY/47,XYY/48,XYYY who presented with ambiguous genitalia. Her phenotype was also remarkable for minor ear and eye anomalies and coarctation of the aorta with bicuspid aortic valve. Laparoscopy revealed bilateral Fallopian tubes and a left infantile testis with epididymis.
