Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding and Hypoglycemia [PDF]
Obesity is commonplace, and surgical treatment usually includes Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses (RYGBs). RYGBs have the most documented side effects including vitamin deficiencies, rebound weight gain, and symptomatic hypoglycemia; fewer series exist ...

Nesidioblastosis and Insulinoma: A Rare Coexistence and a Therapeutic Challenge
Background: Nesidioblastosis and insulinoma are disorders of the endocrine pancreas causing endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Their coexistence is very unusual and treatment represents a still unresolved dilemma.Case Description: The patient was ...

Histological insights into the pathogenesis of post‐Roux‐en‐Y hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia [PDF]
Background β‐cell hyperplasia has been implicated in the aetiology of post Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia, but the pathogenesis of this condition is still unclear. Case report We report a case of a 52‐year‐old man with post‐

A propósito de un caso : paciente con cuadro de disartria de una hora y media de evolución [PDF]
Insulinoma is a neoplasia of pancreatic β-cells that secretes insulin. It constitutes a rare cause of hypoglycemia. Poor knowledge of this disease is explained by the low incidence, 4 in 1 million people per year. The nonspecific symptoms and its size

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors are not overexpressed in pancreatic islets from patients with severe hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia following gastric bypass [PDF]
Aims/hypothesis: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors are highly overexpressed in benign insulinomas, permitting in vivo tumour visualisation with GLP-1 receptor scanning.
