Abstract:
Patients with severe diabetic acidosis may present varying electrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities including ST-segment elevation. The authors described a case of 70-year-old type 2 diabetic woman hospitalized due to ST elevation myocardial infarction and serious metabolic disorders. According to the clinical presentation, the ECG abnormalities and the significant rise in myocardial necrosis biomarkers the patient was diagnosed with myocardial infarction and received a typical pharmacological treatment. In the autopsy, no signs of myocardial infarction and no significant stenoses in the coronary arteries were found, while the features of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding were observed. This case report demonstrates that together with the clinical presentation of metabolic disorders, ST elevation must always be interpreted very cautiously and each case require an individual proceeding.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
