BackgroundLoss of function mutations in the genes encoding the pancreatic β-cell ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel are identified in approximately 80% of patients with diazoxide-unresponsive hyperinsulinaemic-hypoglycaemia (HH). For a small num

BACKGROUND: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a cause of persistent hypoglycemia due to unregulated insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. Histologically, there are two major subgroups, focal and diffuse. Focal CHI is typically unresponsive to

Background/Purpose In congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) of infancy, the use of preoperative fluorine-18-l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine–positron emission tomography–computed tomography ( 18 F-DOPA-PET-CT) scan has recently been reported. The aim of t

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystem disorder intrinsically associated with inflammation of mucosal surfaces. Because inflammation can result in enteric neuromuscular dysfunction we hypothesized that terminal ileitis in patients with CF may predispo

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Functional dyspepsia in childhood is commonly triggered by food allergen in sensitised individuals. We investigated the topography of eosinophils and mast cells in gastric antral lamina propria, the interaction of mast cell produ

Moderate hypothermia is protective when applied throughout experimental intestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). However, therapeutic intervention is usually possible only after ischemia has occurred. The aim of this study was to evaluate moderate

Congenital and acquired disorders of the enteric neuromusculature are relatively uncommon in childhood, with the exception of Hirschsprung disease. Despite this, a number of histologically well-defined phenotypes of enteric neuromuscular disease are

Background The detrimental effects of intestinal ischemia reperfusion (IIR) injury on secondary organs including the liver, lungs, heart, and kidney have been widely investigated in animal models. However, the effect of IIR on the central nervous sys
