A pediatric patient with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was found to have a pneumomediastinum and a small pneumothorax. Because some of the signs and symptoms of pneumomediastinum may be confused with those of the patient's primary disease process, this complication may be present more frequently than has been previously described.

Electronic address:

The most severe form of α-thalassemia results from loss of all four copies of α-globin. Postnatally, patients face challenges similar to β-thalassemia, including severe anemia and erythrotoxicity due to the imbalance of β-globin and α-globin chains. Despite progress in genome editing treatments for β-thalassemia, there is no analogous curative option for α-thalassemia.

Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a highly heterogeneous monogenic disease that occurs due to β-cell dysfunction. It is divided into different types depending on the gene mutated, and a total of 16 genes have been found to be associated with MODY. However, due to the current lack of understanding of monogenic diabetes, 90% of MODY is currently misdiagnosed and ignored in clinical practice.
