There have been many published accounts of idiopathic leucine-sensitive hypoglycaemia of infancy since its description by Cochrane, Payne, Simpkiss, and Woolf in 1956, and raised plasmainsulin levels after the administration of L-leucine have been found in children with this condition (DiGeorge, Auerbach, and Mabry, 1960; Grumbach and Kaplan, 1960; Harmer and Sinclair, 1964). Similar changes in...

We give an intrinsic proof that Vorobjev’s first approximation of a Poisson manifold near a symplectic leaf is a Poisson manifold. We also show that Conn’s linearization results cannot be extended in Vorobjev’s setting

This chapter will not provide a detailed description of patch clamp methodology, since this information can be found in many other sources. The most comprehensive description of these techniques is likely to be Single Channel Recording (Neher and Sakmann, 1983). Other useful reference works include volumes edited by Standen et al. (l987), Conn (l99l), Kettenmann and Gratyn (1992), and Bean (199...

 Abstract A 26 -year- old woman presented with rhabdomyolysis secondary to severe hypokalemia. Hypertension and metabolic alkalosis could lead to the suspicion of primary aldosteronism, which was confirmed by a decreased plasma rennin, elevated plasma aldosterone levels and high aldosterone/rennin ratio additionally. Additionally adrenal computed tomography showed an adrenal tumour. Blood press...

observed to confer a high risk for skeletal fracture (Conn 1985; Mathew 1992; Seller 1985). While an association between alcoholism and accidental injury is well recognized (Lucas 1987), there is evidence to suggest that alcoholics may also suffer from a generalized skeletal fragility that makes their bones more liable to fracture. Basic science studies have identified processes that shape bone...
