A case report of rhabdomyolysis and osteofascial compartment syndrome in a patient with hypothyroidism and diabetes.

Background: Hypothyroidism is frequent and has various forms of muscle involvement. We report the diagnosis and treatment of a case of rhabdomyolysis, bilateral osteofascial compartment syndrome (OCS) of the lower extremities, and peroneal nerve injury causing bilateral foot drop in a diabetic patient with hypothyroidism.

Case Presentation: A 66-year-old man with diabetes for 22 years was admitted because of drowsiness, tiredness, facial swelling, and limb twitching for 2 months, and red and swollen lower limb skin for 3 days.

[Effects of continuous positive airway pressure upon the un-treatment hour changes of blood glucose level in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome and type 2 diabetes].

Objective: To assess the effects of short-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) upon un-treatment hour glucose control via a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome and type 2 diabetes (OWD).

Methods: A total of 23 case of hospitalized OWD were recruited. CGMS was applied for 2 days before and 4 days during CPAP treatment.
