Abstract:
A single center, prospective cohort study recruiting 107 burn patients and 62 control patients was conducted to characterize the early phase of acute hyperglycemia in patients with burns. A total of 1643 blood samples were collected, and blood glucose and serum proinflammatory cytokines were detected and analyzed. A mouse severe burn model was used to study the underlying mechanisms of acute hyperglycemia postburn. An expression profile of IL-1 receptor, serum IL-1β and pancreatic islet function were detected in both control mice and burned mice. The data in this article is associated with the research article published in Biochim Biophys Acta "Acute pancreatic beta cell apoptosis by IL-1β is responsible for postburn hyperglycemia: evidence from humans and mice" [1].

Burn Injuries
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
Acute Pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
Acute Respiratory Failure-I
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...
Acute Respiratory Failure-II
The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:
Acute Respiratory Failure-V
Ensure that patients are monitored continuously for their response to therapy, including changes in...
