An unusual cause of hypoglycemia in a middle-aged female after bariatric surgery
Open accessAbstract
Non-insulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia syndrome (NIPHS) is a disorder characterized by postprandial hypoglycemia and islet cell hypertrophy. It is an uncommon complication of weight-loss surgery. However, with the rising incidence of gastric bypass surgeries, it is important to be able to recognize the clinical picture of NIPHS and not to incorrectly ascribe the symptoms to late dumping syndrome.

Functional β-cell disorders are also known as adult-onset nesidioblastosis or non-insulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia syndrome (NIPHS).
“The latter are a group of diseases also known as adult-onset nesidioblastosis or non-insulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia syndrome (NIPHS) [5,16-20].”
From An Uncommon Cause of Recurrent Presyncope, Dizziness, and Tachycardia: A Case Report of Diffuse, Adult-Onset Nesidioblastosis/Non-Insulinoma Pancreatogenous Hypoglycemia Syndrome (NIPHS) (2023) · cites this paper as [16]
The Discussion describes NIPHS as hypoglycemia caused by pancreatic beta-cell hyperplasia, and the Abstract says the patient diagnosed with NIPHS had histology suggestive of nesidioblastosis. These passages connect the terms, but the paper does not say that functional β-cell disorders as a group are also known as adult-onset nesidioblastosis or NIPHS. (LLM, conf=0.81)

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.
