and occurs only when these bodies are in part or wholly destroyed.” So now the medical community knew that the pancreas‚ particularly the islets of Langerhans‚ was not functioning in a person with diabetes. For the next 20 years‚ the discovery of insulin evaded those who researched the pancreas. 1906 George Ludwig Zuelzer was able to extract some secretions from the pancreas. He had some success treating dogs. But he couldn’t get support to continue his work. Juvenile diabetes (type 1 diabetes)

Drug overdoses are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Cardiovascular-active medications are very challenging to treat in overdose situations. Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy (ILE) was first successfully used in local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) in 2006. Since then there have been numerous case reports of ILE being used in other lipid soluble medication overdoses. We describe a case of a combined beta-blocker and calcium channel blocker overdose treated successfully with

“diabetes sweet”. Diabetes mellitus is the most common form of diabetes and is a severe chronic disease caused by insufficient production of insulin resulting in abnormal metabolism of glucose in the blood.

pancreas and insulin formation The pancreas is an elongated organ situated next to the first part of the small intestine. It is both an endocrine gland that produces hormones‚ such as insulin and glucagon‚ and an exocrine gland producing digestive enzymes‚ such as trypsin and chymotrypsin (Martini‚ 2004). It is located behind the stomach‚ between the spleen and the duodenum (see Figure 2). It contains a group of cells called the islets of Langerhans‚ in which the beta cells secrete insulin and the alpha
