AbstractNonketotic hyperglycemic chorea-ballism (NKHCB), also known as diabetic striato-pathy (DS) by some, is a rare complication of diabetes mellitus and uncommon in children. We report a case of a 10 11/12-year-old boy of Asian descent with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and multiple food allergies presenting with bilateral chorea-ballism. His brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed developmental venous anomaly in right parietal lobe and right cerebellum, no focal lesions or abnormal enhancements. Choreiform movements resolved with correction of hyperglycemia. Children and adolescents with a movement disorder should be evaluated for diabetes mellitus, especially with increasing prevalence and insidious nature of T2DM associated with obesity.

The purpose of the study was to describe and analyze the dance movements of the Philippine folk dance Itik-itik. The researchers adopted the movement analysis method similar to that of Mackenzie that involves the (1) description of the actual movements which occur at the joints involved; (2) the plane in which the movement occurs; and (3) the muscles producing the movement (agonist & antagonist). In addition, similar to the study of Martin and Miller, the researchers also had done a mechanical analysis on the lever type involved in the execution of the dance movement in terms of force, axis, and resistance. Results revealed that the prominent dance steps in the Philippine local dance Itik-itik are the (1) running, (2) cross step, slide close, slide close step, (3) heel, close-ball, close arm, (4) step, slide-close, slide, (5) arms extension/flexion, and (6) flapping of the arms. The joints involved are the shoulder and hip muscle which are ball and socket type of joints; and elbow, knee and ankle which are hinge joints. The major muscles involved in the dance for the lower body include the quadriceps, hamstring muscle group, adductor muscle group, calves and gluts. While for the upper body muscles involved are the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, deltoid, trapezius, biceps, and triceps muscles. The type of lever used in performing the dance comprise majority of 1st class and 3rd class levers. By knowing the muscles involved in the dance the dance teacher may be able to devise activities to gradually prepare the prime mover muscles before the actual execution for injury prevention. Thus, the movements in the dance may improve the health and skill related fitness of the performers.

Type II Diabetes Mellitus is one of the most common non-communicable diseases with innumerable & potentially life threatening complications. In 2017, approximately 462 million individuals were affected by type 2 diabetes corresponding to 6.28% of the world's population (4.4% of those aged 15-49 years, 15% of those aged 50-69, and 22% of those aged 70+), or a prevalence rate of 6059 cases per 100,000. Over 1 million deaths per year can be attributed to diabetes alone, making it the ninth leading cause of mortality. The burden of diabetes mellitus is rising globally, and at a much faster rate in developed regions, such as Western Europe. The gender distribution is equal, and the incidence peaks at around 55 years of age. Global prevalence of type 2 diabetes is projected to increase to 7079 individuals per 100,000 by 2030, reecting a continued rise across all regions of the world.[¹] . Two of the common complications due to acute hyperglycaemia are Diabetic Ketocidosis & Non ketotic hyperosmolar coma which are considered a spectrum of the same complication due to low circulating levels of insulin leading to impaired glucose metabolism by insulin dependant tissues with rising levels of anti-insulin hormones like glucagon, cortisol & catecholamines due to intracellular starvation resulting in hypergylcemia & fatty acid breakdown & ketonemia. Amongst the numerous complications of Type II Diabetes Mellitus, here we present a rare complication of acute hyperglycaemia and its radiological picture in the central nervous system. A 56 year old female patient with a history of Type II Diabetes Mellitus with Hypertension under long term medication came for a private consultation with a complaint of Right sided involuntary, random, irregular, inging and ailing, rapid, non-patterned movements for past 7 days. The patient was advised for an urgent MRI of Brain which demonstrated high T1 signal & low T2/FLAIR intensity with no diffusion restriction of DWI & ADC map in left sided putamen & head of caudate nucleus. We illustrated a rare classical nding of acute hyperglycemic effect on brain in a case of long standing Type II Diabetes Mellitus despite being on medications

Abstract Glycogenic hepatopathy (GH) is a very rare complication seen mostly in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in whom glycemic control has been poor for a long time. We assessed liver diseases in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus by detection of elevated liver transaminases and confirmed by fibro scan and ultrasound. One hundred and seven children and adolescents with T1DM were subjected to detailed history, physical examination, laboratory investigation and radiological investigation. Liver transaminases, mean HbA1c and pelviabdominal ultrasound were done for all patients while fibro scan for those with elevated liver enzymes only. Patients with elevated liver enzymes were reassessed after one year. Only nine of our patients have elevated liver enzymes. HbA1c and fibro scan abnormalities (F stage) were significantly higher in patients with elevated liver enzymes. (p < 0.001) After follow up a significant decrease in liver enzymes, fibro scan abnormalities and HbA1c in the group with elevated liver enzymes initially was detected. (p < 0.001) We concluded that liver disease is not a common complication in patients with long standing uncontrolled diabetes which can be reversed after proper control.

Splenic abscess is a very rare complication of non-typhoidal <em>Salmonella</em> infections. We report a case of splenic abscess caused by <em>Salmonella</em> enteritidis. The patient is a 63-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and underwent splenectomy. This case suggests that the patients with comorbities are at increased risk for invasive infections in non-typhoidal <em>Salmonella</em> infections.

Se presenta un paciente con diabetes mellitus tipo 1, con una complicación poco frecuente conocida como síndrome de Mauriac. Se realizan ayudas diagnósticas tendientes a descartar diagnósticos diferenciales como la mucopolisacaridosis tipo I, que se consideró una de las enfermedades de depósito más probables en el caso del paciente. Finalmente, se presenta una discusión del caso, resumiendo los aspectos fundamentales que llevaron a la sospecha del síndrome de Mauriac. Abstract This is a case report of a patient with diabetes mellitus type 1 and a rare complication known as Mauriac syndrome. Laboratory tests were performed to rule out differential diagnoses, such as mucopolysaccharidosis type I, which was considered one of the storage diseases, most likely for the patient. Finally, we present a discussion of the case, summarizing the key issues that led to the suspicion of a Mauriac syndrome.
