Hypoglycaemia in cooled HIE infants ups risk of brain injury, poor neurocognitive development

11 Feb 2022

Hypoglycaemia appears to be common among infants who receive therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, a new study reveals. Moreover, these infants also tend to show higher degrees of brain injury and lower cognitive function at school age.

Waist-height ratio predicts severe diabetic eye disease risk in T1D

08 Feb 2022 by

Waist-height ratio (WHtR), a hallmark of central obesity, appears to be a good indicator for the risk of developing severe diabetic eye disease (SDED) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), results of a 15-year cohort study suggest.
