Management of Type 1 diabetes in children
The prevalence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1DM and T2DM) is increasing among children. T1DM, however, continues to be the most common type found in pediatricians. To ensure optimal treatment, health care workers must be aware of the different forms of diabetes identified in children, particularly the characteristics that set T1DM and T2DM apart. Lifelong exogenous insulin delivery is essential for survival in people with T1DM in general. However, compared to adults with diabetes, children have quite different demands and difficulties. Treatment, objectives, and age-appropriate needs must all be addressed on an individual basis. Maintaining glucose levels as close to normal as feasible, avoiding acute problems, and preventing long-term issues are the key goals for treating pediatric T1DM.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue
Sleep Disorder Breathing is a term for a group of conditions with abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. This affects everyday functioning and well being.There are few types of SDB which include upper airways resistance, hypopnea, apnea, catathrenia and heavy snoring. People suffering with SDB can have daytime symptoms that result in poor sleep also. There can also be sleepiness, depressed mood, irritability and cognitive dysfunction.
