Blood Ketone Management in Pediatric DKA
Available On-Demand Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is frequently present at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, with younger children, especially those less than 2 years-old, at higher risk. Complications include hypoglycemia, acute kidney injury, cardiac arrthymias and cerebral injury. DKA, along with these complications, is the most common cause of hospitalization, mortality, and morbidity in children with […]
Preoperative Ionized Magnesium Levels and Risk of Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery
Although postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after cardiac surgery, preventive measures are limited. Despite the known association of preoperative low magnesium levels with cardiac surgery–related atrial fibrillation, the association between preoperative magnesium concentration and postoperative AKI has not been fully elucidated. In this webinar, Dr. Hee Byung Koh, Department of Internal […]
Point-of-Care Testing in the Neonatal Population: Importance of Glucose Meter Accuracy
Point-of-care testing is an essential diagnostic tool in neonatal and pediatric patient settings because infants and children experience more rapid changes in clinical status than adults. Fast, accurate, interference-free POCT glucose testing in neonatal settings enables rapid detection or prevention of neonatal hypoglycemia. In this webinar, Dr. Khosrow Adeli, Professor, Clinical Biochemistry, The Hospital for […]
Medium Measurement Techniques Applicable to Cell Culture for Cell Therapy
Our laboratory has previously demonstrated that fluctuations in medium composition in multilayer cultures of epithelial tissues (epidermal and corneal epithelial tissues) with three-dimensional structures can be used to understand the state of the epithelial tissues. In addition, this experience is applied to suspension cultures of iPS cell aggregates for the mass production recently. In this […]
Lactate as a Marker for Fetal Hypoxia
Prolonged intrapartum hypoxia can result in hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), which affects1.5-2.5 of 1,000 newborns annually. Infants with HIE may develop permanent health conditions and disorders such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, hearing and vision impairments, and more. During labor, fetal monitoring using cardiotocography (CTG) can screen for hypoxia. CTG has high sensitivity but low predictive […]
Detection and Management of Acute Kidney Injury in the ICU

Resurgence of the BUN/Creatinine Ratio in Severe Illness: COVID-19, Sepsis, and Trauma
Date: Wednesday, March 31, 2021 Time: 1:00 PM EDT Date: Thursday, April 15, 2021 Time: 1:00 PM EDT Duration: 1 hour Urea and creatinine have been key indicators of kidney function for years and can be measured easily and quickly with currently available whole blood point of care analyzers. While newer tests for assessing renal function […]
The Importance of Ketone Measurements – What, Why And When?
Duration: 1 hour Summary Ketones are substances that your body makes if your cells don’t get enough glucose (blood sugar). Glucose is your body’s main source of energy. Ketones can show up in blood or urine. High ketone levels may indicate ketoacidosis and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a complication of diabetes that can lead to a coma or even death. In this webinar we´ll […]
