Induction of Pancreatic Beta-Cell Neogenesis

Collombat Patrick

Background: The recent discovery that genetically-modified pancreatic alpha-cells can regenerate and convert into beta-like cells in vivo holds great promise for diabetes research. However, to eventually translate these findings to human, it is crucial to discover compounds with similar activities.Results: We recently identified GABA as an inducer of alpha-to-beta-like cell conversion in vivo. This conversion induces alpha-cell replacement mechanisms thr...

The Interaction Between Human and Technology in the Treatment of Diabetes

Barnard Katharine

Background: Research has demonstrated that technologies to support diabetes self-management for people living with diabetes can have positive effects on medical and quality of life outcomes. It also shows that there may be an additional burden of wearing and using these technologies. Both diabetes and its treatment can have significant deleterious effect on quality of life, thus it is crucial that the interaction between the technology and the user offers maximum benefit with ...

Severe Hyponatremia and Repeated Intestinal Resections for Intestinal Dysmotility Mimicking Congenital Aganglionic Megacolon due to Delay in the Diagnosis of Congenital Hypothyroidism

Buyukyilmaz Gonul , Baltu Demet , Soyer Tutku , Tanyildiz Murat , Demirbilek Huseyin

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH), the most common preventable cause of mental retardation in children, may presents with non-specific signs and symptoms. Beside, majority of the infants can be asymptomatic. Underestimation and/or misdiagnosis may cause delay in diagnosis and results in severe complications.Case report: A 5 months-old female admitted to our clinic with the history of repeated surgical operations due to the diagnosis of congenita...

Evolution of Feminising Genitoplasty

Pippi-Salle J L

Great controversy exists in regard to the timing and technical alternatives to perform feminizing genitoplasty in children. Opponents to an early approach argue that the reconstruction can be risky in terms of clitoral/vaginal function therefore surgery should be postponed until the patient herself can sign an informed consent and be aware of potential risks as well as confirms the desire to undergo the procedures. Such negative feelings in regard to early reconstruction are b...

Body Proportions Estimated by Photometry

Gerver Willem Jan , Brecheisen Ralph , Penders Bas , Straetemans Saartje

Background: The growth process that transforms a newborn into an adult implies that there is not only an increase in height but above all a constant change in body proportions. Knowledge of the body proportions gives insight into the natural process of maturation and any disturbance can be used as a diagnostic tool.Objective and hypotheses: Manual measurement of body dimensions is a highly time-consuming procedure requiring a variety of measurement tools...

Background: Achondroplasia is the most common cause of genetic dwarfism with a prevalence of 1/10 000 to 30 000 birth. It is a pathology of dominant inheritance linked to the mutation of the receptor gene growth factor on chromosome 4p16 fibroblastes FGFR3 responsable rhizomelic dwarfism and multiple complications likely to compromise the functional and vital prognosis of patients.Objective and hypotheses: Find the frequency of neurological complications...
