Accurate assessment of severity in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can optimise early management and facilitate prioritisation for high acuity care. The primary aim was to evaluate the relationship between severity of acidosis (considering pH, bicarbonate, and anion gap) and hyperosmolarity with hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included intensive care mortality, mechanical ventilation, vasopressor/inotrope use, and dialysis.

- * Key allergens evaluated include hyaluronidases from honey bee (Api m 2), European paper wasp (Pol d 2), and yellow jackets (Ves v 2.0101 and Ves v 2.0201), with sensitization rates among patients varying significantly.
- * Results show that individuals primarily sensitized to Api m 2 have minimal cross-reactivity with other venoms, while those sensitized to other allergens may react to Api m 2, emphasizing the importance of identifying the primary allergen for effective
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate how the growth of gynecologic oncology fellowships in the U.S. will impact surgical volume for both trainees and practicing oncologists over the next two decades.
- It projects a 14% increase in cancer cases, mainly endometrial cancer, while the number of new surgical patients per oncologist will decline significantly due to current trainee numbers.
- The findings suggest that if fellowships do not expand, practicing oncologists will face a nearly 41% decrease in their caseload, highlighting the need for careful planning in training programs.
