Cases have been reported in practically every country in the world in which medical journals are published. It is interesting to observe the influence of American medical literature on clinical practices in foreign countries; and it is pleasing to note that, in nearly all the articles on hyperinsulinism and spontaneous hypoglycemia in foreign journals, the authors have been generous in their references to contributions on the subject by American physicians.Among the many foreign clinicians who have reported cases of hyperinsulinism, or spontaneous hypoglycemia, or have published articles...Bibliography ALLANBOECKJUDD FNWCES: Surgical treatment of hyperinsulinism, Jr. Am.
