Pierre and François have been the key figures of the Mauriac five children. Pierre introduced his hospital service in Bordeaux to bio-clinic and was a well-known professor before he became the dean of the Faculty from 1936 to 1945. As hero during the Great War he remained loyal to the "victor of the battle of Verdun" while his brother Frangois became a fervent 'Gaullist', "each of them climbing the same mountain along another side" according to François Mauriac in 1966. Pierre was a writer too and a medical adviser for the novelist.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a common autoimmune pathology requiring lifelong insulin therapy. We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with T1DM admitted to Department C of the National Institute of Nutrition of Tunis for diabetic ketosis. She had suffered from T1DM for five years, with poor glycemic control (hemoglobin A1C = 10%) and poor therapeutic adherence.

Almost 100 years ago, the French physician Pierre Mauriac described a syndrome named after him, resulting from poorly controlled type 1 diabetes, with growth retardation, delayed puberty, Cushingoid features and hepatomegaly. With modern diabetes care, this is very rare but does occur; however, despite the condition having important clinical implications and being easily treatable, this diabetes complication remains relatively unknown. We present here an authentic patient case in the form of a young man with glycemically poorly controlled type 1 diabetes who developed hepatomegaly, hyperlactatemia and histopathological changes in the liver consistent with glycogenosis, a state readily reversed by normalization of glycemia.

Hepatic glycogenosis (HG) is a rare complication of poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), in which glycogen accumulates in the hepatocytes. It can be caused by excessive insulin doses or recurrent ketoacidosis episodes. Mauriac's syndrome is a rare disease that includes short stature, growth maturation delay, dyslipidemia, moon facies, protuberant abdomen, and hepatomegaly with transaminase elevation.

Background: The position of the catheter tip of totally implantable venous access devices (TIVAD) is a risk factor for postoperative complications. The study aim was to assess the early and late complications (EC and LC) associated with the position of the catheter tip in cancer patients.
Methods: We reviewed cancer patients who had a TIVAD placed in 2020.
