insulinoma/vomiting

A 5-year-old female Collie dog showed excessive salivation, vomiting and neurological signs, including hind-limb weakness, mental dullness and subsequent recumbency with paddling movements of the limbs. Blood glucose and insulin concentrations were 35 mg/dl and 70.0 microU/ml, respectively. At

OBJECTIVE To report three cases of insulinoma associated with pregnancy. METHODS Case report. METHODS Divisions of Endocrinology and Gastroenterologic Surgery, Hospital de Clínicas, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. METHODS Three patients with hypoglycemic signs due to insulinoma appearing

A case of a patient with organic hyperinsulinism complicated by the development of hyperosmolar state is described. The hyperosmolar state was induced by vomiting and dehydration during an acute urinary tract infection. Impairment of glucose metabolism was confirmed by the finding of reduced tissue

Multiple endocrine neoplasms, including an insulinoma, bilateral adrenocortical adenocarcinomas and an aortic paraganglioma, were diagnosed after euthanasia in a 12-year-old spayed female dog of mixed breed with a history of progressive anorexia, vomiting, diarrhoea, weight loss, polyuria and

BACKGROUND Hypothalamic hypopituitarism is relatively rare cause of secondary adrenal deficiency which is often accompanied by severe hypoglycemia. Hydrocortisone replacement therapy is essential for this condition, but gastrointestinal symptom such as nausea and vomiting is not well-recognized

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to report the results of a multicentric survey about laparoscopic treatment of pancreatic tumors in children. METHODS The data of patients operated using minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for a pancreatic tumor in 5 International centers of Pediatric Surgery in the last 5

A 3-month-old male intact Shiba Inu dog was evaluated for a seizure disorder initially deemed idiopathic in origin. Seizure frequency remained unchanged despite therapeutic serum phenobarbital concentration and use of levetiracetam. The dog was documented to be markedly hypoglycemic during a seizure

We report a rare case of symptomatic hypoglycemia in a patient with intra-abdominal recurrence of a previously resected gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). The patient is a 65-year-old woman who underwent resection of a large abdominal mass arising from the stomach, histologically diagnosed as a

OBJECTIVE To determine toxic effects of streptozocin given in combination with a diuresis protocol in dogs and establish whether streptozocin is efficacious in treatment of pancreatic islet cell tumors in dogs. METHODS Retrospective study. METHODS 17 dogs. METHODS Medical records were reviewed to

OBJECTIVE Pancreatic tumours in children are exceedingly rare and as a result constitute a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to paediatric surgeons. We reviewed our experience with these rare entities. METHODS Retrospective single institution study on all paediatric pancreatic tumours over a

Digestive cancers diagnosed during pregnancy are rare and are sporadically reported. The shift of pregnancy towards the age interval of 30-39 years old (and even 40-49 years old) could explain the more and more frequent superposition of pregnancy and cancer. Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours (PNET)

Radiolabeled Exendin-4, a synthetic glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog, is used as a tracer for diagnostic purposes of β-cells and in experimental animal research. Exendin-4 can be radiolabeled with (68)Ga, (111)In or (99m)Tc and used for positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon
