Ketoacidosis

Ketoacidosis is a condition that occurs when the body produces high levels of ketone bodies, leading to a state of metabolic acidosis. It can be caused by a variety of factors ranging from uncontrolled diabetes, drug abuse or acute alcohol intoxication. It is a life-threatening condition and requires immediate medical care. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fruity-smelling breath and confusion. Treatment typically involves intravenous fluids and insulin to reduce the ketone levels. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of ketoacidosis early can help prevent serious complications and increase survival.

Description: Bioinformatics has multidisciplinary uses and can be interrelated to many subjects. Computers are used to gather, store, analyze and integrate biological and genetic information which can then be applied to gene-based drug discovery and development. It's application in various fields is studied by JBD and emphasis is laid on diabetes.
