Abstract Purpose: This study sought to explore the effect of intraoperative mean blood glucose levels and variability on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in children undergoing congenital cardiac surgery. Methods: We conducted a prospective nested case-control study in children (age < 18 years) undergoing congenital heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at the Fuwai Hospital between April 01, 2022 and July 30, 2022. Cases were individuals who developed AKI within the first postoperative 7 days (AKI group) and controls were those without AKI (Non-AKI group) according to KDIGO criteria. AKI and Non-AKI groups unmatched and 1:1 matched by… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Diabetes is a burning issue in the whole world. It is the imbalance between body glucose and insulin. The study of this imbalance is very much needed from a research point of view. For this reason, Bergman gave an important model named-Bergman minimal model. In the present work, using Caputo-Fabrizio (CF) fractional derivative, we generalize Bergman’s minimal blood glucose-insulin model. Further, we modify the old model by including one more component known as diet D(t), which is also essential for the blood glucose model. We solve the modified model with the help of Sumudu transform and More >
