Journal ArticleDOI
Pancreatic beta-cell mass in European subjects with type 2 diabetes.
TL;DR: The average β‐cell mass is about 39% lower in T2D subjects compared with matched controls, and its decrease with duration of the disease could be a consequence of diabetes that, with further impairment of insulin secretion, contributes to the progressive deterioration of glucose homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic Resonance Elastography for the Noninvasive Staging of Liver Fibrosis
Laurent Huwart,Christine Sempoux,Eric Vicaut,Najat Salameh,Laurence Annet,Etienne Danse,François M. Peeters,Leon C. ter Beek,Jacques Rahier,Ralph Sinkus,Yves Horsmans,Bernard E. Van Beers +11 more
TL;DR: Magnetic resonance elastography has a higher technical success rate than ultrasoundElastography and a better diagnostic accuracy than ultrasound elastsography and APRI for staging liver fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular composition of the human diabetic pancreas.
TL;DR: The disappearance of B cells in Type 1 diabetes has no preferential effect on any other endocrine cell of the pancreas, and in Type 2 diabetes, the mass of A cells was increased, whereas that of B, D and pancreatic polypeptide cells was not changed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive Diagnosis of Focal Hyperinsulinism of Infancy With [18F]-DOPA Positron Emission Tomography
Timo Otonkoski,Kirsti Näntö-Salonen,Marko Seppänen,Riitta Veijola,Hanna Huopio,Khalid Hussain,Päivi Tapanainen,Olli Eskola,Riitta Parkkola,Klas Ekström,Yves Guiot,Jacques Rahier,Markku Laakso,Risto Rintala,Pirjo Nuutila,Heikki Minn +15 more
TL;DR: F fluorine-18 l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine ([(18)F]-DOPA) positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising noninvasive method for the identification and localization of the focal form of CHI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liver damage caused by therapeutic vitamin A administration: estimate of dose-related toxicity in 41 cases.
TL;DR: It was concluded that at least in some western countries chronic vitamin A consumption might represent an appreciable cause of chronic liver disease, the recognition of which mainly relies on expert liver biopsy interpretation.
