Presentation
In the tumor margin, pancreatic alpha cell hyperplasia is pervasive, numerous large islets composed of mostly alpha cells are evident, and multiple microadenomas and small neuroendocrine tumors often are present. [en.wikipedia.org]

Noncompliance
After the pancreatectomy, serum calcium has continued to remain just above the upper limit of normal with one episode of severe hypercalcemia (14.43 mg/dL) following a 9-month period of noncompliance to lanreotide. [doi.org]

Splenectomy
The patient underwent splenectomy and subtotal distal pancreatectomy with 65% of his large calcified pancreas being excised ( Fig. 1B ). Serum calcium initially improved ( Fig. 2 ). [doi.org]

Make the best clinical decisions with an enhanced emphasis on evidence-based practice and expert opinions on treatment strategies. Zero in on the most relevant and useful references with the aid of a more focused, concise bibliography. [books.google.com]
The treatment of Mahvash disease currently focuses on managing the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Small tumors can be monitored but large ones need to be resected. [en.wikipedia.org]
In the multiple dose cohorts, treatment consisted of eight doses of ISIS 325568 or placebo over 6-weeks. [chdr.nl]
[…] glucagon analogs that are biophysically stable and soluble in aqueous solutions has promoted biological study that has enriched our understanding of glucagon biology and ironically recruited glucagon agonism as a central element to lower body weight in the treatment [physrev.physiology.org]
Prognosis
Patients have increased LDL values from birth, and an increased cardiovascular risk, making early diagnosis and treatment imperative for improved prognosis. Three main causative genes have been associated with FH: LDLR, APOB and PCSK9. [clinicalgenome.org]
Etiology
Hyperglucagonemia is implicated in the etiology of this condition; however, effective therapies to block glucagon signaling and thereby regulate glucose metabolism do not exist.... [connection.ebscohost.com]

Pathophysiology
[…] extensive historical record and the more recent provocative direction that integrates the prominent role of glucagon in glucose elevation with its under-acknowledged effects on lipids, body weight, and vascular health that have implications for the pathophysiology [physrev.physiology.org]
Further study is required to estimate the frequency of this association and understand the pathophysiology of the unexplained hypercalcemia. [doi.org]

The interactions between the antagonist MK-0893 and a class B GCGR prevent the GCGR from transmitting a signal, even in the presence of glucagon (3). [collab.its.virginia.edu]
Clinical Actionability Tools Clinical Actionability tools support the curation process is to identify those human genes that, when significantly altered, confer a high risk of serious disease that could be prevented or mitigated if the risk were known [clinicalgenome.org]
In patient 2, in whom we found two heterozygous germline point mutations, severe impairment of receptor function may be explained by the assumption that the two mutations which affect early stop codons may be located in different alleles and thus prevent [doi.org]
