Strategies to assist patients in achieving optimal chronic disease self-management are critical. The complex family and regimen issues surrounding pediatric type 1 diabetes management suggest the need to integrate such strategies into routine clinical care.

This study demonstrates the efficacy of a practical, low-intensity behavioral intervention delivered during routine care for improving glycemic outcomes. Findings indicate that the approach may offer a potential model for integrating medical and behavioral sciences to improve health care. (Read the full article)

Among middle-aged adults, genotype scores predict incident type 2 diabetes but do not improve prediction models based on clinical risk factors including family history and BMI. These clinical factors are more dynamic in adolescence, however.

A genotype score also predicts type 2 diabetes from adolescence over a mean 27 years of follow-up into adulthood but does not improve prediction models based on clinical risk factors assessed in adolescence. (Read the full article)

Cerebral edema (CE) occurs frequently during treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children. Severe, life-threatening CE occurs rarely, but subclinical CE is common. Whether the rate of infusion of intravenous fluids influences the occurrence or severity of CE is unknown.

This study demonstrates that the rate of fluid infusion in children with DKA does not substantially affect MRI measures of CE. Studies assessing measures other than edema formation are necessary to determine whether fluid infusion rates influence DKA-related brain injury. (Read the full article)

The rise in type 2 diabetes in youth is a major public health concern thought to be partially due to decreasing activity levels and increasing obesity. The role of sedentary time as a possible contributor also needs to be examined.

Measured objectively, obese youth, with or without type 2 diabetes, spend little time in moderate to vigorous physical activity. Those with type 2 diabetes, however, were significantly more sedentary than their obese counterparts, identifying an important area for future intervention efforts. (Read the full article)

Most children with type 1 diabetes get care from pediatric-trained providers, and must transfer care to adult providers once in adulthood. The timing of this change in providers and its relationship to glycemic control is not well understood.

In this cohort, the estimated median age to transition to adult care was 20.1 years and 77% had left pediatric care by age 21. Leaving pediatric care was associated with a 2.5-fold increase in odds of having poor glycemic control. (Read the full article)

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a short-term complication of type 1 diabetes and is a major cause of preventable hospitalization in children. Hospital resource utilization and readmission rates for DKA across the US are not known.

Readmission for DKA within a year of hospitalization is common, accounting for one-fifth of all DKA admissions. Resource use, hospital length of stay, and readmission rates vary widely across major US children’s hospitals, even after adjusting for hospital differences in patients. (Read the full article)

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening condition and often the presenting symptom of newly diagnosed type 1 or type 2 diabetes in youth. SEARCH previously reported that the prevalence of DKA at diagnosis was 25.5% in 2002–2003.

DKA in youth with type 1 diabetes remains a problem, with almost one-third presenting with DKA. Among youth with type 2 diabetes, DKA was less common and decreased by ~10% per year, suggesting improved detection or earlier diagnosis. (Read the full article)

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the fastest growing pediatric chronic illnesses worldwide and disproportionately affects indigenous people from all continents.

These data support the growing body of evidence that peer mentoring is an attractive strategy for teaching health behaviors and improving health outcomes in children. (Read the full article)

Passive or opt-out consent has been successfully used to recruit subjects in several investigational studies. However, institutional review boards are often inconsistent in their application of federal regulations regarding passive consent.

This study documented the variability among 24 local institutional review boards in their application of federal regulations regarding passive consent and parental acceptance of a passive consent strategy in a multicenter pediatric study. (Read the full article)

Several studies have revealed an association between cesarean section (CS) and childhood type 1 diabetes. Most of these studies lacked important information on indication for CS and induction of labor. It is unknown whether the reported associations are causal.

Using a cohort of 2.6 million children we found an association between elective CS and type 1 diabetes. The sibling analysis suggested the association is not causal. The findings are crucial evidence to advise women on mode of delivery choice. (Read the full article)

In 2000/2001, the American Academy of Pediatrics published recommendations for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) care. According to pediatricians’ self-report of adoption of these guidelines, community-based ADHD care appears to be marginally adequate.

Using reviews of >1500 patient charts, this study demonstrates that community-based ADHD care is not consistent with evidence-based practice. Furthermore, variability in much of community-based ADHD care is unrelated to the provider, suggesting that innovative, system-wide interventions are needed to improve ADHD care.

Fasting insulin levels in childhood are increasingly being used as a surrogate for insulin resistance and risk of later type 2 diabetes, despite only a moderate correlation with whole-body insulin sensitivity and few data related to adult outcomes.

Elevated insulin values between the ages of 3 and 6 years are associated with an elevated risk for later type 2 diabetes. In 9- to 18-year-olds, elevated BMI (but not insulin values) is associated with later type 2 diabetes. (Read the full article)

Previous studies have demonstrated racial and ethnic differences in glycemic control even after adjustment for variables such as insulin dosage, diabetes duration, and socioeconomic status. It is controversial whether genetic, physiologic, cultural, socioeconomic, and/or provider-related factors underlie these disparities.

This study in a large, racially/ethnically diverse sample of children with type 1 diabetes demonstrates that racial disparities in insulin treatment methods and diabetes outcomes remain even after adjustment for socioeconomic status. (Read the full article)

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a common and serious first manifestation of diabetes mellitus in children. During initial evaluation, the venous blood pH is frequently used to make the diagnosis and classify the severity of DKA.

This study demonstrates that the serum bicarbonate concentration is a simple and accurate predictor of DKA and its severity and can be used in lieu of venous pH measurement, especially in resource-poor settings where access to pH measurement is limited. (Read the full article)

Hello,

I find a strange issue when using design variable -> right-click -> copy from cellview in assembler. Cadence version is IC618-64b. 500.9

In fact, I set the value of variable (e.g., AAA = 100), then after I right-click -> copy from cellview, AAA's is updated to other value. In my opinion "copy from cellview" should only update the missing variable to the list, but not change any variable value. 

Is there any mechanism could change variable value when using "copy from cellview"?

Thanks
