* Based on some research evidence, DKA is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in children who have type 1 diabetes, and cerebral edema is responsible for most of the deaths during DKA in children. (Dunger, 2004). * Based on strong research evidence, treatment of DKA requires replacement of water and electrolytes and correction of the insulin deficiency. (Dunger, 2004). * Based on some research data and consensus opinion, after providing initial volume expansion (if needed), fluid resuscitation of children who have DKA should be calculated to rehydrate evenly over at least 48 hours. Initial fluid resuscitation should be with an isotonic solution; subsequent fluid management should be with a solution that has a tonicity of at least 0.45% saline. (Dunger, 2004). * Based on strong research evidence, insulin treatment for DKA should begin at a dose of 0.1 units/kg per hour and generally should remain at or above this level until the ketoacidosis is resolved. (Dunger, 2004). * Based on some research evidence, risk factors for the development of cerebral edema during treatment of DKA include the severity of acidosis, greater hypocapnia (after adjusting for the degree of acidosis), higher blood urea nitrogen concentration at presentation, and treatment with bicarbonate. (Dunger, 2004; Glaser, 2002).

Associations between Maternal Iron Supplementation in Pregnancy and Changes in Offspring Size at Birth Reflect Those of Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation.

It was previously observed that in a population of a high-income country, dietary multiple micronutrient supplementation in pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes (GDM) and increased offspring size at birth. In this follow-up study, we investigated whether similar changes are observed with dietary iron supplementation. For this we used the prospective Cambridge Baby Growth Study with records of maternal GDM status, nutrient supplementation, and extensive offspring birth size measurements.

Objective: Previously we observed that maternal multiple micronutrient supplementation in pregnancy was associated with increased offspring size at birth and adiposity, as well as with maternal gestational diabetes risk, in the Cambridge Baby Growth Study. In this study we therefore investigated whether folic acid supplementation specifically is associated with similar changes, to test the hypothesis that folic acid supplementation mediates such changes.
Results: The majority of mothers who reported supplementing with folic acid in pregnancy (n = 776 in total, 526 of which took multiple micronutrient preparations) did so either from pre- (n = 139) or post-conception (n = 637) largely for all or just the first half of pregnancy.

Multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) in pregnancy has previously been associated with positive effects on fetal growth, but its value in high-income countries remains controversial. In this study, we investigated effects of pregnancy MMS on offspring size at birth and adiposity, along with risks of various maternal outcomes of pregnancy, using the prospective Cambridge Baby Growth Study. Maternal MMS was reported in 528 out of 970 women who completed pregnancy questionnaires.

Aims: The incidence of gestational diabetes has been reported to have risen over the first decade of this century. Some studies have also found it to vary with seasons of the year. We investigated temporal and seasonal trends on gestational diabetes incidence in a single-centre cohort study from Cambridge, UK, and attempted to explain trends using associated risk factors.

BMC Res Notes

Department of Paediatrics, Addenbrooke's Hospital, University of Cambridge, Hills Road, Box 116, Cambridge, CB2 0QQ, UK.
Objective: Previously we found that certain fetal imprinted genes represented as an allele score are associated with maternal pregnancy glucose concentrations. Recently it was reported that fetal polymorphisms with strong associations with birth weight tend to mediate these independently of increases in maternal pregnancy glucose concentrations. We therefore investigated whether potential associations between the fetal allele score and birth weight were related to maternal glucose concentrations in the Cambridge Baby Growth Study.
