A newborn with persistent hypoglycemia and fixed insulin secretion unresponsive to medical management underwent 80% pancreatectomy. A 1-cm. nonencapsulated islet-cell adenoma near the tail of the pancreas was identified histologically. Islet-cell granules stained with indirect aldehyde fuchsin. Throughout the tumor, areas of nesidioblastosis were identified. The persistence of this embryologic process suggests a basic mechanism for the adenoma formation.

Unlabelled: While previous research has established correlations between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), late-pregnancy blood glucose, and late-pregnancy blood lipid levels during pregnancy and offspring's physical development, the underlying mechanism of their interaction remains elusive. A birth cohort study was conducted on pregnant women, who are biologically female, delivering at a tertiary hospital in Wuhan City between May 2023 and April 2024, encompassing 1620 participants. We collected maternal socio-demographic data through questionnaires and obtained information on fasting blood glucose (FPG), lipid levels during the third trimester, and neonatal physical development from medical records.
