Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition where there excess accumulation of triglycerides in the absence alcohol consumption. It ranges from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can progress fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). NAFLD, one most common causes chronic Western populations, hepatic component metabolic syndrome (MetS) associated with increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT), insulin resistance, dyslipidemia.

Selection of diagnostic tests for children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is influenced by clinical suspicion. Testing results reported in the literature are similarly biased. We evaluate usefulness a comprehensive battery each child.Retrospective review.Tertiary care university hospital.A total 270 referred severe to profound SNHL between January 2002 and June 2009.Results following were reviewed: magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, renal ultrasound,...
Summary During aging, decreases in energy expenditure and locomotor activity lead to body weight fat gain. Aging is also associated with muscle strength endurance leading functional decline. Here, we show that lifelong deletion of ghrelin prevents development obesity aging by modulating food intake expenditure. Ghrelin attenuated the decrease phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate‐activated protein kinase (pAMPK) downstream mediators muscle, increased number type IIa (fatigue resistant,...
Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: To examine the characteristics of pediatric cochlear implant channel malfunction preceding device failure. Study Design: Retrospective review. Methods: All patients who underwent implantation at a tertiary academic medical center were reviewed regarding type, reason for replacement, time to and timing pattern faults in failed versus nonfailed devices. Results: Between 1993 2008, 264 implantations performed. With an average 894‐day follow‐up, replacement rate...
Abstract Doege-Potter syndrome occurs when incompletely processed insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2), also known as big IGF-2, is produced by a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and results in non-islet cell hypoglycemia (NICTH). We discuss here the case of 66-year-old male who presented with 2-week history increasing confusion serum glucose 34 mg/dL. The patient's symptoms immediately improved dextrose. patient did not use insulin, sulfonylurea screen was negative, testing for adrenal...
