nesidioblastosis/carbohydrate

BACKGROUND Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is a rare complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Meals with a high carbohydrate (carb) content and high glycemic index (GI) may provoke these hypoglycemic attacks. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of reducing meal carb content

BACKGROUND Postprandial hypoglycemia after gastric bypass surgery is a serious problem. Available treatments are often ineffective. OBJECTIVE The objective was to test the hypotheses that injection of rapid-acting insulin before a high-carbohydrate meal or replacement of other carbohydrates with

The effects of oral carbohydrate on modulating counterregulatory responses in humans remain undecided. This study's specific aim was to determine the effects of oral carbohydrate on autonomic nervous system (ANS) and neuroendocrine responses during hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and euglycemia.

We report the case of a patient with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type Ib who developed normally until 3 months of age, when she was referred to the hospital for evaluation of hypoglycemia that was found to be related to hyperinsulinism. She also had vomiting episodes, hepatomegaly,

OBJECTIVE To study the nature and clinical course of persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI) due to nesidioblastosis. METHODS Clinical, laboratory and therapeutic evaluation of infants with this disorder and study the outcome. METHODS Hospital born neonates and infants referred

BACKGROUND Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with severe neuroglycopenia has been identified as a late complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in a small number of patients. CONCLUSIONS The rapid resolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus after RYGB is probably related to increased secretion of the

BACKGROUND Postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (PHH) is an increasingly recognized complication of gastric bypass surgery in obese adults, distinct from the "dumping syndrome". METHODS Upon birth, primary repair of esophageal atresia was performed, and at the age of 14 months definite

BACKGROUND Some alarming cases of hypoglycemic episodes in patients who have undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass have been reported. The syndrome of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with nesidioblastosis after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has been previously reported and is controversial. It has been

Hyperinsulinemia-induced hypoglycemia is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in adults, children, and infants. Our understanding of the disorders responsible for this type of hypoglycemia has been increasing due to the recent discoveries in the molecular and biochemical regulation of

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

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an efficient treatment for morbid obesity and reduces obesity-related co-morbidities. With the growing number of patients undergoing gastric bypass, complications now demand further attention. Postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (PHH) after Roux-en-Y gastric

11 infants with persisting hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinism (nesidioblastosis of the pancreas) were treated with somatostatin. Somatostatin administration in a relatively high dosage (initially 145 micrograms/m2 body surface as bolus followed by a continuous infusion of the same dose per hour)

Subtotal pancreatectomy specimens from 11 pediatric patients with idiopathic hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (IHH) were studied by conventional light and electron microscopic methods and by morphometric methods applied to sections immunostained specifically for A, B, D, and PP cells. The results were

BACKGROUND Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is common after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and may result in weight regain. The purpose of our investigation was to compare the effect of RYGB, vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), and duodenal switch (DS) on insulin and glucose response to carbohydrate

BACKGROUND Postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (pHH) is an increasingly reported complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). As pHH can cause life-threatening emergencies if occurring without warning symptoms, challenge testing may detect patients at risk. The study objective was to
