Hypoglycemia due to an insulin-secreting small-cell carcinoma of the cervix.

Open access

Abstract

Hypoglycemia is a condition commonly seen in the emergency department and is usually caused by insulin or sulfonylurea therapy for diabetes mellitus. Tumor-induced hypoglycemia occurs more rarely and can involve several mechanisms, according to whether the tumor is of pancreatic islet-cell origin or of extrapancreatic, non–islet-cell origin.1 The pancreatic islet beta-cell tumors (insulinomas) cause hypoglycemia by producing excessive insulin. In contrast, non–islet-cell tumors can cause hypoglycemia in any of several ways. They include release by the tumor of insulin-like growth factor II or its high-molecular-weight precursor,2–4 multiple metastases to the liver, massive tumor burden, or rarely, the production of . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
