Summary
Hypoglycemia is induced by many causes, especially over-dose of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents in diabetic subjects. In such a case, hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is usually observed. On the other hand, it is important to classify secondary hypoglycemia and hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Liver injury-induced hypoglycemia is one of the causes of hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia but rarely observed in clinical practice. Herein, we experienced similar 2 cases of non-diabetic hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Both of them were elderly subjects with low body weight. Furthermore, it is likely that hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia in both subjects was triggered by severe liver injury, at least in part, due to possible limited liver glycogen store. In elderly subjects with low body weight and/or malnutrition, metabolism in the liver is reduced and glycogen accumulation is decreased. Such alteration brings out acute and marked liver injury, which finally leads to the onset of severe hypoglycemia. It is known that not only liver injury but also multiple organ failure could be induced due to extreme emaciation in subjects. It is likely that in elderly subjects with low body weight and/or malnutrition, multiple organ failure including liver failure could be induced due to the similar reason. Therefore, we should be very careful of such subjects in order to avoid the development of multiple organ failure which leads to life-threatening situations. In conclusion, we should keep in mind the possibility of hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia when we examine severe liver injury, especially in elderly or starving subjects with low body weight and limited liver glycogen stores.

Learning points:

It is important to classify secondary hypoglycemia and hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

Liver injury-induced hypoglycemia is one of the causes of hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia but rarely observed in everyday clinical practice.

Herein, we reported similar 2 cases of hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia without diabetes presumably triggered by severe liver injury.

In both cases, hypoglycemia was improved by glucose infusion, although their liver injury was not improved.

We should keep in mind the possibility of hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia when we examine severe liver injury, especially in elderly subjects with low body weight.
Treatment of congenital hypothyroidism in a newborn with malabsorption after subtotal ileum resection
Authors: Schömig Charlotte S , Robinson Marie-Ève , von Oettingen Julia E 
Published: February 2018

Summary
Congenital hypothyroidism requires prompt treatment to prevent adverse health outcomes. Poor intestinal levothyroxine absorption can complicate management. We present a case of a term female newborn with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) requiring subtotal ileum resection. Congenital hypothyroidism was diagnosed by newborn screening. Treatment was complicated by intestinal malabsorption of levothyroxine. Intravenous levothyroxine substitution restored euthyroidism and supraphysiologic PO doses subsequently maintained a euthyroid state. After several months, the required levothyroxine dose was weaned down to typical recommended dosing. In conclusion, small bowel resection secondary to NEC may lead to malabsorption of oral levothyroxine. An intravenous levothyroxine dose of approximately 50% typical PO dosing is effective in providing rapid normalization of free T4 and TSH. High PO doses may be required to maintain euthyroidism. Close thyroid function monitoring and immediate therapy adjustment are essential as the individual absorption may vary widely. Normal absorption levels may be regained due to adaption of the neonatal intestines.

Learning points:

In neonates with malabsorption after ileum resection intravenous levothyroxine replacement should be used to provide normalization of free T4 and TSH.

Very high doses of up to 500% usual oral levothyroxine may be required to maintain euthyroidism. The estimated degree of malabsorption can be used to determine the initial dose.

Close thyroid function monitoring and immediate therapy adjustment are essential as the absorption and intestinal adaption may vary widely.

Summary
A 26-year-old woman presented with severe postpartum headaches. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a symmetric, heterogeneous enlargement of the pituitary gland. Three months later, she developed central diabetes insipidus. A diagnosis of postpartum hypophysitis was suspected and corticosteroids were prescribed. Six months later, the pituitary mass showed further enlargement and characteristics of a necrotic abscess with a peripheral shell and infiltration of the hypothalamus. Transsphenoidal surgery was performed, disclosing a pus-filled cavity which was drained. No bacterial growth was observed, except a single positive blood culture for Staphylococcus aureus, considered at that time as a potential contaminant. A short antibiotic course was, however, administered together with hormonal substitution for panhypopituitarism. Four months after her discharge, severe headaches recurred. Pituitary MRI was suggestive of a persistent inflammatory mass of the sellar region. She underwent a new transsphenoidal resection of a residual abscess. At that time, the sellar aspiration fluid was positive for Staphylococcus aureus and she was treated with antibiotics for 6 weeks, after which she had complete resolution of her infection. The possibility of a pituitary abscess, although rare, should be kept in mind during evaluation for a necrotic inflammatory pituitary mass with severe headaches and hormonal deficiencies.

Learning points:

The possibility of a pituitary abscess, although rare, should be kept in mind during evaluation for a necrotic inflammatory pituitary mass with severe headaches and hormonal deficiencies.

In a significant proportion of cases no pathogenic organism can be isolated.

A close follow-up is necessary given the risk of recurrence and the high rate of postoperative pituitary deficiencies.

ABSTRAKPENENTUAN MASSA TEREROSI UNTUK BERBAGAI MATERIAL KATODA IGNITOR. Sistem elektroda ignitor yang berfungsi menginisiasi lucutan plasma terdiri dari dua buah elektroda ignitor yang dilengkapi dengan satu unit sistem catudaya lucutan ignitor (Ignitor Discharge Power Supply) dengan 2 trafo flyback, dimana inti ferit flyback masing-masing berdiameter 1,3 cm dan 1,5 cm sehingga diperoleh arus spot plasma yang berbeda untuk kedua sistem elektroda ignitor. Arus spot plasma tergantung pada jenis material katoda. Semakin besar arus menuju katoda maka semakin besar spot plasma yang dihasilkan sehingga semakin besar pula material katoda yang tererosi. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan uji fungsi sistem elektroda ignitor, dan dari hasil uji fungsi dapat ditentukan besarnya massa dan partikel material katoda ignitor yang tererosi untuk menentukan umur katoda akibat hilangnya bahan di permukaan katoda setelah terbentuk spot plasma. Hasil pengujian spot plasma pada permukaan katoda ignitor menggunakan material Mg, diperoleh arus spot plasma 13 A dan lebar pulsa 38 µdet, sedangkan untuk material Ag, Al, Cd dan Cu masing-masing diperoleh arus spot plasma 14,32 A, 12,34 A, 12,56 A dan 10,58 A lebar pulsa 22 µdet, 39 µdet, 38 µdet, dan 34 µdet. Material katoda yang paling baik untuk sistem elektroda ignitor adalah magnesium karena mempunyai laju erosi γ paling rendah (11,7 µg/C) sehingga tidak mudah tererosi dan rusak. Dari hasil pengujian spot plasma diperoleh massa katoda tererosi untuk material Mg yang paling rendah yaitu 5,78 nano gram dan katoda akan berkurang sepanjang 11,75 μm, sedangkan massa katoda tererosi paling tinggi adalah Cd (laju erosi 43,9 µg/C) sebesar 20,95 nano gram, dimana katoda akan berkurang sepanjang 85,67 μm

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Diabetes mellitus causes pathophysiological changes at multiple organs. Brainstem Evoked Response Auditory (BERA) represents a non-invasive tool to detect diabetes related sensorineural hearing loss. The aim was to assess diabetes related central auditory pathway involvement using BERA.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The study comprises two groups, (i) Diabetic group (n=15), (ii) Control group (n=15). The controls were matched for age and sex with the study group. BERA was done for all these patients after detailed clinical examination and relevant blood investigations. </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> There was significant latency differences found in wave III, V and interpeak latencies I-III, III-V and I-V between control and study groups at 70 dBnHL and 80 dBnHL. At 90 dBnHL the diabetic group demonstrated significant latency differences in waves I, III and V and interpeak I-III, III-V and I-V compared to controls. The duration of DM was 5-10 years in 8 patients (53.3%) out of which 7 subjects (87.5%) had prolonged BERA. 7 patients (46.6%) were diabetic for more than 10 years of which all patients (100%) had prolonged latencies.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The wave I latency was found non significant which suggests that the pathway from 8<sup>th</sup> nerve to cochlear nucleus is not affected in diabetic patients. The delay in latencies III and V and interpeak latencies I-III, III-V and I-V in diabetic patients compared to the controls suggests brainstem and midbrain involvement.

<p>Ackerman’s tumour also called verrucous carcinoma (VC) is a controversial manifestation of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It manifests as proliferative cauliflower like growth which is characteristic. Histologically it has a deceptively benign microscopic appearance. Hence it requires expertize for diagnosis. Although VC is illustrated as a benign lesion with minimum aggressive potential, over a period of time it can evolve into SCC. We report here a case of verrucous carcinoma of tongue in a young male with a history of tobacco chewing. </p>

Americanization of Non-American Storiesin Disney Films
Authors: Setiawati Beta 
Published: February 2018

The study is intended to know the Disney’s animation films characteristics which are adapted from non American stories that contain Americanization in order to be American popular culture products. This qualitative and library research is carried out within the field of American Studies. Disney’s animated films which are regarded as artifacts in order to identify American society and culture is used as her primary data. She then compares those Disney films with the original stories to discover the changes in making those stories become American popular products. She furthermore uses the sources such as books, magazines, journals, articles, and also internet data for her secondary data. The result of this study shows that most of folk narratives which were used in Disney films were adapted from other countries’ stories. However, Disney intentionally adapts foreign countries’ stories in its animated films by using Disney formula to blow up the sale of its products. Since Disney is one of the most powerful media conglomerates in the world, it works endlessly to set out world entertainment. Disney formula in its animated films which has dominated those adapted films are only intended to obtain as much profit as possible without paying attention to the values in children entertainment.Keywords: Americanization; Non American Stories; Animation; Popular culture; Formula
