It is recommended that children with typical clinical signs of biliary colic should be offered surgery if gallstones are present. The aim of this study was to describe a population of children having undergone cholecystectomy. ⋯ Cholecystectomy is rarely performed in children and when so, it is mostly performed in otherwise healthy children. The surgical techniques deployed and the duration of the postoperative stay are very similar to those observed for adults.

Subjects (n = 46) with type 2 diabetes who responded inadequately to two and three oral medications (HbA₁(C) > 8.0%) were consecutively recruited for treatment with premixed insulin 30/70 two times a day in order to investigate whether previous oral therapies may predict insulin requirements. ⋯ Evaluation of the previous number of oral antidiabetic drugs and HbA₁(C) values may help us predict the insulin requirement when oral drugs have failed.
