Diabetic ketoalkalosis.

The usual metabolic derangement in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus is metabolic acidosis, with an increase in the anion gap because of increased ketoacids and lactate. However, diabetic ketoalkalosis may occasionally be encountered, the prominent clinical feature of which is vomiting, with depletion of potassium, chloride, and hydrogen ions. Self-medication with absorbabe alkali may also contribute to the alkalosis. It would be dangerous to treat hyperlgycemic patients with alkali if their condition is ketoalkalosis instead of ketoacidosis.

Craniocarpotarsal dysplasia syndrome (whistling face syndrome). Case reports and survey of clinical findings.

Case histories of two patients with the whistling face syndrome are presented. The most striking features are microstomia, midface hypoplasia, scoliosis, and retarded growth. Family histories were unremarkable, except possibly in Patient K. B.'s family, where three miscarriages in six pregnancies were noted. Biochemical and chromosome analysis did not reveal obvious changes. The genetics implied a sporadic inheritance pattern.
