The relationship between GAD65 autoantibody and the risk of T1DM onset.

Objectives: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a well-known autoimmune disease, characterized by β-cell destruction in pancreas islet cells, which results insulin deficiency and subsequent hyperglycemic sequelae. While there is screening for type 2 DM that leads to better glycemic control and outcome, the majority of T1DM patients are diagnosed when much of the pancreatic cells and their function are disturbed. The aim of this article is to present an overview of the effective factors in the positivity of Glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody )GADA( and identifying the high-risk individuals for T1DM.

Lessons learned from 29 lymphoepithelial cysts of the pancreas: institutional experience and review of the literature.

Since LECs are benign, preoperative diagnosis is important to differentiate from a cystic neoplasm and avoid unnecessary surgery. The aim of this study was to identify clinical, radiographic and cytopathologic features associated with LECs.
