A novel mutation of gene in a patient with diazoxide-unresponsive congenital hyperinsulinism [PDF]
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a rare condition that can cause irreversible brain damage during the neonatal period owing to the associated hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia in CHI occurs secondary to the dysregulation of insulin secretion.

Riemannian Prediction of Anatomical Diagnoses in Congenital Heart Disease based on 12-lead ECGs [PDF]
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a relatively rare disease that affects patients at birth and results in extremely heterogeneous anatomical and functional defects. 12-lead ECG signal is routinely collected in CHD patients because it provides significant biomarkers for disease prognosis.

Quo vadis ureagenesis disorders? A journey from 90 years ago into the future
Abstract The pathway of ammonia disposal in the mammalian organism has been described in 1932 as a metabolic cycle present in the liver in different compartments. In 1958, the first human disorder affecting this pathway was described as a genetic condition leading to cognitive impairment and constant abnormalities of amino acid metabolism.

Introduction. Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in children is most commonly due to congenital hyperinsulinism. When hyperinsu-linemia is accompanied by fasting hypoglycemia and postprandial hyperglycemia, rare syndromes of severe insulin resistance, which ...

Abstract Beckwith–Wiedemann spectrum (BWSp) is caused by genetic and epigenetic alterations on chromosome 11 that regulate cell growth and division. Considering the diverse phenotypic landscape in BWSp, the characterization of the CDKN1C molecular subtype remains relatively limited. Here, we investigate the role of CDKN1C in the broader BWSp phenotype.

Neonatal congenital hyperinsulinism in Indonesia
Introduction: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is resulted from dysregulated insulin secretion from hyperplastic and hyperactive but apparently normally structured β-cells islet.

Abstract Background There is an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among neonates due to their unique hemostatic system. However, there is lack of approved treatment options for VTE in neonatal population. Importantly, dalteparin, a low molecular weight heparin approved for pediatric VTE in children ≥1 month of age, has also been used for ...

Management aspects of congenital adrenal hyperplasia during adolescence and transition to adult care
Abstract The adolescent period is characterised by fundamental hormonal changes, which affect sex steroid production, cortisol metabolism and insulin sensitivity. These physiological changes have a significant impact on patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).

A tale of two sisters – delayed diagnosis of genetic hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia
Congenital hyperinsulinism is the leading cause of persistent hypoglycaemia in infants and children; however, it is uncommon to be diagnosed in adulthood. We describe the cases of two sisters who presented with hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia aged 47 and
