Background: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a benign disorder of reversible subcortical vasogenic cerebral edema.
Case Characteristics: A 13-yr-old girl presented 4 days after complete recovery from diabetic ketoacidosis with symptoms of headache, altered sensorium, seizures, and visual loss. There was no hypertension or biochemical abnormalities identified. MRI brain showed hyperintense areas in subcortical and periventricular white matter of bilateral fronto-parieto-occipetal lobes, with possible diagnosis of normotensive PRES.
Outcome: Full recovery without sequelae, following neuro-protection and expectant treatment.
Message: Identifying PRES in diabetic ketoacidosis assists appropriate treatment and prognostication.

Mucormycosis is a fungal infection caused by Mucorales fungi that cause severe disease and fatality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Although vaccines and immunotherapeutics have been successful in combating viral and bacterial infections, approved antifungal immunotherapies are yet to be realized. To address this gap, monoclonal antibodies targeting invasive fungal infections have emerged as a promising approach, particularly for immunocompromised patients who are unlikely to maximally benefit from vaccines.

Mixed presentation of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) has been reported in up to 27% of hyperglycemic emergencies. This 15-year retrospective chart review describes clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes among children presenting with hyperglycemic emergencies at our center. Out of 322 patients, 92% were Afro-Caribbean or Black with a mean age of 13.

Introduction: In recent years, the prevalence of T1DM (type 1 diabetes mellitus) and other autoimmune diseases in the paediatric population has been increasing. The aim of this study was to evaluate vitamin D levels among children with newly diagnosed T1DM, taking into account the most common coexisting autoimmune conditions.
Material And Methods: The database included 361 patients diagnosed with T1DM between 2020 and 2021, with a mean age of 9.

To evaluate the association of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients across different subgroups, we searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT2i with the control groups among T2DM patients and including DKA as a safety outcome. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) were calculated using random or fixed-effects models, as appropriate. An inverse-variance-weighted Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to estimate the genetic correlation.

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of hyperglycemic emergency caused by insulin deficiency through accelerated liver gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. DKA is most common in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Transplantation of islet cells and pancreas is an alternative to insulin injection for treating T1D.
