Does positive troponin in diabetic ketoacidosis without evident acute coronary syndrome predict adverse cardiac events?
Elevated troponin I in diabetic patients admitted with DKA identifies a group at very high risk for future cardiac events and mortality. Whether cardiac risk stratification of these patients will improve long term outcome remains to be studied.
Aliskiren protected the lungs of rats from gross and histopathologic FE-induced pulmonary damage at 48 hours. Clinical implications include the use of aliskiren both prophylactically (before certain orthopedic procedures) and therapeutically (after severe trauma) to prevent the consequent severe pulmonary pathological sequelae.
