Comparison of glycemic control between continuous regular insulin infusion and single-dose subcutaneous insulin glargine injection in medical critically ill patients
Conclusions: Single-dose subcutaneous insulin glargine injection was feasibly applied for glycemic control in medical critically ill patients. The glycemic control in the critically ill patients by a single dose of subcutaneous insulin glargine was comparable to standard intravenous regular insulin infusion. A conversion dose of 100% of the daily requirement of regular insulin is suggested. (Source: Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine)

Targeted interventions in critically ill children with severe dengue
Conclusion: Children with SD with refractory shock are at extremely high mortality risk. We describe the proactive application of several targeted ICU supportive interventions in addition to ST and could show that these interventions resulted in decreased resuscitation morbidity and improved outcomes in SD.

Comparison of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter between both eyes: A bedside ultrasonography approach
Conclusion: Our results suggest that the difference in ONSD of both eyes is not statistically significant in disease or health. This study also suggests that the ONSD of either eye can be predicted by the other eye recordings. Based on these findings, it can be suggested that during ocular USG for routine bedside/research purposes it is sufficient to measure ONSD of any of the one eye to save time and avoid discomfort to the patient.
