Although the endocrine pancreas appears to play an important role in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease, very little is known about the morphologic changes in this tissue. Our study was initiated to delineate the microscopic features of the endocrine pancreas in a large autopsy series of
In this study we report antepartum and obstetric findings in cases of persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI). The study is retrospective and covers the years 1983 to 1994, when there were 9 infants treated for PHHI in the region of the University Hospital of Kuopio. One of the
Hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinemia is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infants and children. Recent discoveries in the molecular and biochemical regulation of insulin secretion have dramatically increased our understanding of the disorders responsible for syndromes of
The effects of chronic administration of methamphetamine on pancreatic tissues were histopathologically studied in experimental models. Methamphetamine (1 ml/kg body weight/day) was subcutaneously injected into 14 five-week-old male Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) for 12 weeks. Age and sex matched 5 WKY
Offspring of women with poorly controlled diabetes exhibit hypoxemia, elevated catecholamine concentration at birth, and an increased incidence of fetal death. Experimental fetal hyperinsulinemia results in increased catecholamine concentration and hemodynamic changes including increased combined
The sudden death by hypoglycemia is an aspect of the forensic pathology frequently neglected. Authors initially described the pathogenesis of different hypoglycemia forms, distinguishing the primary ones due to hyperinsulinism and the secondary ones due to functional insufficiency of other organs
OBJECTIVE
Fetuses of diabetic women exhibit hypoxemia, elevated catecholamine concentrations at birth, and increased incidence of death. Our previous findings suggested that experimental fetal hyperinsulinemia results in a surge in catecholamines with cardiovascular changes supported by increased
