Insulinoma is the most common cause of fasting hypoglycemia resulting from autonomous insulin hypersecretion. We describe herein a unique case with paradoxical hypoglycemic episodes induced by hyperglycemia. A 55-year-old female had repeated hypoglycemic episodes after meal or during increased physical activity. Although fasting (10 hr) failed to provoke hypoglycemia, oral glucose tolerance tes...

Cryptosporidium parvum, an Apicomplexan parasite, is important cause of diarrheal disease, especially in immunodeficient hosts. Nevertheless, there no entirely successful therapeutic agent against cryptosporidiosis to date. Hence, this study aims test the potential prophylactic and effect Camellia sinensis (green tea extract) dexamethasone immunosuppressed mice versus nowadays used drug, Nitazo...

The role of preabsorptive (cephalic phase) insulin release in oral glucose tolerance was investigated using diabetic rats treated by intraportal transplantation of isogenic islets. This early neurally mediated phase of insulin release has been shown to be absent in such rats. When the body weight of transplanted rats was normalised, glucose tolerance tests (GTTs) were performed in the unstresse...

Gestational trophoblastic disease corresponds to cystic degeneration of the trophoblast villi with excessive secretion choriogonatrophinic hormone (HCG), groups together lesions : · Benign known as hydatidiform moles (partial or complete) Malignant gestational tumors (GTT), comprising o Choriocarcinomas Invasive Trophoblastic implantation site (TTSI) Diagnosis is based on questioning and clinic...

BACKGROUND Deep venous thrombosis (DVT), which is often associated with pulmonary embolism (PE), is a serious complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In the present study, we examined the overall thrombotic and thrombolytic status using Global Thrombosis Test (GTT) in non-anticoagulated blood of patients undergoing TKA to develop the predictable marker for the incidence of DVT. METH...

An anti-hyperglycemic compound named GII was purified from the water extract of the seeds of fenugreek (T. foenum-graecum) and shown to be different from trigonelline and nicotinic acid isolated earlier from the same plant. GII (50 mg/kg body weight, po) reduced blood glucose in glucose tolerance test (GTT) in the sub-diabetic and moderately diabetic rabbits and significantly reduced the area u...

BACKGROUND This study analysed subsequent pregnancy outcome in patients treated for persistent gestational trophoblastic tumour (GTT). METHODS Between 1974 and 1999, a total of 378 patients with GTT (83 patients with high-risk and 295 patients with low-risk GTT) were treated at Chiba University Hospital, Japan. Of these 378 patients, 363 (96.0%) achieved primary remission and 315 survivors ha...

Consequences of prenatal exposure to ethanol (E) include morphological, physiological, and cognitive deficits and are collectively classified as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Adult prenatal E exposed offspring show insulin resistance, and given that in utero hyperglycemic environment can cause metabolic disorders in subsequent generations; we investigated the effects of grandmaternal E on f...

We estimate the error term in the Ingham Tauberian theorem. This estimation of the error term is accomplished by considering an elementary proof of a weak form of Wiener's general Tauberian theorem and by using a zero-free region for the Riemann zeta function. 1. Introduction. As an important application of his general Tauberian theorem (GTT), in 1932, Wiener [6] gave a new proof of the prime n...

The second author has implemented a reference version of the HOL logic (henceforth called gtt). This version, written in Standard ML, is as simple as possible, making as few assumptions as necessary to present the essence of HOL. This simplicity makes the implementation easy to understand, to port, to develop, to change, and to informally reason about. The first author has ported gtt to another...
