Stimulation of insulin and somatostatin release by two meglitinide analogs.
Several meglitinide analogs are currently under investigation as potential insulinotropic tools for the treatment of noninsulin-dependent diabetes. The present study aimed to further insight into the effect of these agents on the secretion of insulin ...

Formula for the progressive reintroduction of fat into breast milk in infants with chylothorax
Abstract Chylothorax in infants is a potentially life‐threatening condition, often resulting from injury during cardiac surgery. Traditionally, breastfeeding is discontinued. Recently, feeding with defatted human milk has been safely introduced. However, methods for fat reintroduction are not standardized.

Perioperative Risks of Concurrent Pancreatic and Hepatic Resections for Neuroendocrine Tumors
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) account for 1%–2% of pancreatic tumors, with an increasing incidence. The safety of concurrent pancreas‐liver resections remains uncertain. This study evaluated the national outcomes of concurrent pancreatectomy and liver‐directed surgery for pNETs. Methods ACS‐NSQIP (2019–2023)

The FGF/FGFR System in the Biology and Therapeutic Landscape of Pediatric CNS Tumors
ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid malignancies in children, comprising a highly heterogeneous group of neoplasms defined by distinct molecular alterations and clinical behaviors. Advances in molecular genetics have underscored the relevance of specific signaling pathways in driving pediatric tumorigenesis, among ...

Treatment of neuroendocrine tumors with somatostatin analogs
Neuroendocrine tumors constitute a group of hormone producing tumors originating from neuroendocrine cells in different organs. Most tumors have a low proliferation index measured by Ki67 and the progression of the tumor is slow.

ENETS concensus guidelines for the standards of care in Neuroendocrine tumors: peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with radiolabeled somatostatin analogs [PDF]
The purpose of this guideline is to assist physicians caring for patients with neuroendocrine tumors in considering eligibility criteria for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), and in defining the minimum requirements for PRRT.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNEN) are rare and heterogeneous tumors with increasing incidence. While surgical resection remains the only curative treatment, perioperative outcomes are influenced by patient‐related risk factors. Recent research highlights body composition (BC) as a prognostic marker in oncological and transplantation surgery ...

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Induction of the somatostatin receptor on colon carcinoma cells as a target for radiolabeled or cytotoxic somatostatin analogs [PDF]
__Abstract__ In 1973 Brazeau et al. isolated and identified a 14-amino acid peptide, named somatotropin-release inhibiting factor (SRIF), later changed to somatostatin (SS)(1).
