A multidisciplinary approach to an unusual cause of hyperamylasaemia

Autor: James J. Logie, Alistair Williams, Joanne Sharkey, Mary Cox

Clinical features together with elevation of pancreatic enzymes are the key diagnostic indicators of acute pancreatitis. We report a case of a woman in her 50s who presented with abdominal distension and serum amylase raised to more than 30 times the

Background Glucocorticoid-mediated inhibition of angiogenesis is important in physiology, pathophysiology and therapy. However, the mechanisms through which glucocorticoids inhibit growth of new blood vessels have not been established. This study add

Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide that was originally discovered in 1996 from a metastasis tumour suppressor gene,KISS1and was appropriately named metastin. More recently, the discovery of inactivating mutations in the receptor for kisspeptin, a G protein

The ability of glucocorticoids to directly alter arterial function, structure and the inflammatory response to vascular injury may contribute to their well-established link with the development of cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have emphasise
