Recent research has focused on reversing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) via lifestyle-related approaches, including low-calorie diets. Metabolic parameters such as fat accumulation in the liver and pancreas have garnered much attention this context. Pancreatic been linked with adverse metabolic consequences T2DM syndrome. Obesity is primary factor leading to ectopic organs pancreas. This revie...

1. With Conn.-5 strain of Coxsackie virus, pancreatic disease can be regularly produced in adult mice. 2. The lesions consist of widespread necrosis, followed by repair; there occurs more or less complete loss of glandular acini, with fatty or fibrous replacement. The islands of Langerhans and pancreatic ducts persist. 3. Injection of virus suspensions by the intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intr...

Most neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), like other tumors, are clinically silent, producing symptoms only as a consequence of tumor growth. Pancreatic NETs account for only 1% of pancreatic cancers by incidence, while representing 10% of all pancreatic cancers by 28-year limited duration prevalence. Here, we present a 47-year-old man with abdominal pain, icterus, itching and 8 kg weight loss during ...

The effects of oral administration of extracts of raw and processed larvae of Cirina forda (Westwood) on morphometry and histo pathology were studied in albino rats. Weights of rats in the control group and in the group that were fed the processed larvae were significantly higher (p<0.05) than those of the group that received raw extract of the larvae. The relative weights of liver, heart, thyr...

endocrine tumors of the pancreas (islet-cell tumors) are rare with neuroendocrine origin. the patient was a 41- year- old man, admitted with chief complains of epigastric mass feeling, dull abdominal pain, lack of appetite and weight loss up to 2-3 kg since 6 months ago. in physical examination, a mass was detected in epigaster and left upper quadrant (luq). in abdominal x-ray, a calcified mass...

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (nano-ZnOs) are widely used and possess great potentials in agriculture and biomedicine. It is inevitable for human exposure to these nanoparticles. However, no study had been conducted to investigate the long term effects of nano-ZnOs. This study aimed at investigating effects of nano-ZnOs on development, zinc metabolism and biodistribution of minerals (Zn, Fe, Cu, and...

Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by Histoplasma capsulatum. In the United States, histoplasmosis endemic in Mississippi River Valley and Ohio. often asymptomatic immunocompetent individuals, severe disseminated cases are more seen immunosuppressed patients. Disseminated affects reticuloendothelial system, invading specific visceral organs such as liver, spleen, pancreas. The current ...
