A case report on total pancreatic lipomatosis: An unusual entity
Total pancreatic lipomatosis (PL) is an unusual entity of pathologic significance and speculative origin. It refers to complete replacement of pancreatic parenchyma by fat cells. Fat replacement may vary from mild fatty infiltration to massive replacement of the pancreas by adipose tissue, resulting in malabsorption syndrome due to pancreatic insufficiency. We present a case of a 60-year-old el...
متن کاملEndoscopic retrograde pancreatographic findings of pancreatic lipomatosis.
Pancreatic lipomatosis is characterized by fatty infiltration or replacement of the pancreas, and has been associated with many conditions. We recently experienced two cases of pancreatic lipomatosis in patients with pancreatic pseudocyst and a case of lipomatosis in diabetes mellitus. In these patients, abrupt obstruction of the main pancreatic duct with smooth tapering is a typical endoscopic...
متن کاملMeasuring by Hand: Arsenic Picked Up from the Playground
Background: We have recently discovered that human type 12 17β-HSD (h17β-HSD12), a homolog of type 3 17β-HSD, is a new estrogen-specific 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase involved in the production of estradiol (E2). To further characterize this estradiol-producing enzyme, we have isolated the corresponding cDNA in the cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis), characterized its enzymatic activiti...
متن کاملHow Galileo dropped the ball and Fermat picked it up
This paper introduces a little-known episode in the history of physics, in which a mathematical proof by Pierre Fermat vindicated Galileo’s characterization of freefall. The first part of the paper reviews the historical context leading up to Fermat’s proof. The second part illustrates how a physical and a mathematical insight enabled Fermat’s result, and that a simple modification would satisf...
متن کاملAnticipatory Adjustments to Being Picked Up in Infancy
Anticipation of the actions of others is often used as a measure of action understanding in infancy. In contrast to studies of action understanding which set infants up as observers of actions directed elsewhere, in the present study we explored anticipatory postural adjustments made by infants to one of the most common adult actions directed to them - picking them up. We observed infant behavi...
