Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis Caused by Alcoholic Pancreatitis and Starvation Ketosis
Starvation ketosis and pancreatitis are uncommon and underrecognized etiologies of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Euglycemic DKA is...

Flow starvation during square-flow assisted ventilation detected by supervised deep learning techniques
BackgroundFlow starvation is a type of patient-ventilator asynchrony that occurs when gas delivery does not fully meet the patients’ ventilatory...

Exposure to Starvation: Associations with HbA1c, Anthropometrics, and Trauma Symptoms Four Decades Later Among Cambodians Resettled in the USA
BackgroundEpidemiological data suggest that populations exposed to starvation show increased incidence of type 2 diabetes but these studies are...

Mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired growth of glioblastoma cell lines caused by antimicrobial agents inducing ferroptosis under glucose starvation
Glioblastoma is a difficult-to-cure disease owing to its malignancy. Under normal circumstances, cancer is dependent on the glycolytic system for...
