To investigate the development of diabetes mellitus in patients with thalassemia major, plasma glucose and immunoreactive insulin (IRI) levels following oral glucose and intravenous tolbutamide and glucose disappearance rates following intravenous insulin were measured in 10 patients before and
An increased incidence of diabetes mellitus and glucose intolerance has been reported in thalassaemia major treated with a high transfusion programme (HTP). To investigate beta-cell function, serum immunoreactive insulin (IRI), C-peptide (CP) and glucose were measured fasting and at 3, 6 and 10 min
Skeletal or cardiac muscle fibers can be separated by brief (3--5 second) dissociation of formalin-fixed pieces with a Willems Polytron (Brinkmann Instrument Co.). Such separated fibers are useful for demonstration of abnormal accumulations of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and minerals in
Five callitrichids (three common marmosets -Callithrix jacchus -, a black tufted-eared marmoset -C. penicillata-, and a saddle-back tamarin -Saguinus fuscicollis) were diagnosed with islet hyperplasia by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. All were privately-owned, unrelated callitrichids
Pathology of congenital bromine deficiency is described in a she-goat whose mother was kept for two years on a bromine deficient diet. Anomalies of the bones and joints of the anterior limbs, disturbances of carbohydrate, lipid and mineral metabolism in the form of liver, kidney and lymph nodes
Life expectancy of patients suffering from homozygous beta-thalassaemia has been improved due to the modern treatment of this disease. This has allowed development of late hemosiderosis-related complications and disturbances of the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas. Carbohydrate
Histochemistry has an important, continuing role in the current assessment of hepatic biopsies and resection specimens. The evaluation of connective tissue elements in the liver can be accomplished with such methods as the Masson trichrome, Snook reticulin, Vierhoff van Gieson, orcein, and Victoria
