results thirty-four patients were hyperglycemic and 127 non diabetic. sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of fdg-pet/ct were 90%, 88%, 87% and 91% in non diabetic and 82%, 92%, 95% and 73% in hyperglycemic patients, respectively. overall, the accuracy was higher in non diabetic than hyperglycemic patients (89% vs. 85%). conclusions accuracy of fdg-p...

vanadium salts have been suggested as a possible therapeutic agent for the treatment of diabetes. the aim of the present study was to clarify histological and immunohistochemical changes that occur in the pancreatic beta (β) cells of vanadyl sulphate (vs)-treated streptozotocin (stz) induced diabetic rats. male wi star rats were made diabetic by injecting a single intravenous dose of stz (40 mg...

guinea fowls belong to the pheasant’s category. liver is the largest gland in the body, pancreas for digestive secretions and also spleen is of a importance as it is the largest lymphatic gland in adult mammals and poultry. as there are some differences in species and the two sex in these organs, and also there are not any research done on pheasant’s category like guinea fowl, these organs were...

histomorphologic and histomorphometric studies on the pancreas of mehraban male sheep were done in four age groups: fetus, neonate, young adult and old age in this respect, we used special stainings, light microscope and ocular micrometer. the results showed that the smooth muscles were absent in capsule. the tubular portion of exocrine pancreas was more prominent. neuroinsular complex and beta...

CONTEXT Solitary pancreas transplantation (ie, pancreas alone or pancreas-after-kidney) for diabetes mellitus remains controversial due to procedure-associated morbidity/mortality, toxicity of immunosuppression, expense, and unproven effects on the secondary complications of diabetes. Whether transplantation offers a survival advantage over conventional therapies for diabetes is unknown. OBJE...

Background: The antioxidant defense in the pancreas is low because they are exposed to toxic substances daily. This study aimed to evaluate the ameliorating effect of Viola odorata flowers Extract (VOE) on the pancreas histology and function in Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Forty male rats were divided into five groups, consisting of controls; STZ; and STZ plus various d...

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...

During the past decade, simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation has been widely accepted as the most effective way to achieve normoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes and end-stage renal disease. This procedure was performed for the first time on a human in 1966 but it was in the 1980s, with advances in surgical technique and introduction of cyclosporine for immunosuppression, that t...
