1953Amer. Jrnl. Med. XV. 185/1 After discontinuance of pitressin the hyperosmolar state promptly recurred. 1966Lancet 26 Mar. 679/2 Eight patients with hyperosmolar non-ketoacidotic diabetic coma were new diabetics with an average age of 63 years. 1972Science 19 May 815 Malone et al. stated that severe hyperosmolar dehydration could be responsible for the entire galactose toxicity syndrome.
