		Obsolete entity of infantilism caused by congenital pancreatic insufficiency.
		Andersen's first two papers, reporting on the anatomy of specific organs of the reproductive system, were published in Contributions to Embryology.
		Despite her impressive record, the hospital stuck to its policy barring women from appointment in the surgery and pathology departments, and Andersen was forced to seek employment at another institution.

		Dorothy Hansine Andersen was the first physician to recognize cystic fibrosis as a disease and, together with her research team, created the first tests to diagnose it.
		Andersen and her research team made numerous discoveries that led to a simple diagnostic test for cystic fibrosis, one that is still in use today.

	Andersen Disease (GSD IV)
		Andersen disease belongs to a group of rare genetic disorders of glycogen metabolism, known as "glycogen storage diseases." Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that is converted into the simple sugar glucose for the body's use as energy.
		Glycogen storage diseases are characterized by deficiencies of certain enzymes involved in the metabolism of glycogen, leading to an accumulation of abnormal forms or amounts of glycogen in various parts of the body, particularly the liver and muscle.
		Andersen disease is also known as glycogen storage disease (GSD) type IV.

	Hers Disease
		Hers Disease is a hereditary glycogen storage disease (GSD) that usually has milder symptoms than most other types and is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme, liver phosphorylase.
		Hers Disease is characterized by enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly), moderately low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), elevated levels of acetone and other ketone bodies in the blood (ketosis), and moderate growth retardation.
		Von Gierke Disease is a hereditary glycogen storage disease caused by a lack of either of two enzymes, glucose-6- phosphatase or glucose-6-phosphate translocase.

		For example, in people with Parkinson's disease, the iron concentration is elevated specifically in the substantia nigra, an area of the brain that is destroyed in patients with the disease.
		To determine whether iron accumulation is a cause or a consequence of Parkinson's disease, Andersen studied mice that show many of the classic signs of the illness, such as loss of cells in the substantia nigra and movement problems.
		When she treated the animals with a drug that takes the metal out of commission, cells in the substantia nigra were protected from damage, and the mice moved better--findings that strengthen the case for iron's causative role in the disease.

	The history of cystic fibrosis
		Andersen described in great detail 49 patients, 20 from her hospital and others from colleagues and the literature.
		In 1945, Dorothy Andersen and Hodges (not to be confused with later Charlotte Anderson of Australia and Birmingham, UK), investigating 47 of their own families and 56 more from the literature, concluded that the familial incidence indicated a recessive mode of transmission.
		In the same year, 1949, Andersen still considered that "persistent bronchitis complicating fibrocystic disease is the result of failure of absorption of vitamin A, and presumably other fat-soluble specific substances which, in turn, results from the inability of the diseased pancreas to secrete enzymes necessary for absorption of fat" (Andersen, 1949).

		Type IV glycogen storage disease (GSD IV, Andersen disease) is caused by a deficiency of glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) activity, which results in the accumulation of glycogen with unbranched, long, outer chains in the tissues.
		The molecular basis of the disease is not known.
		We studied four patients with the disease; three with typical presentation of progressive liver cirrhosis and failure, and one with severe and fatal neonatal hypotonia and cardiomyopathy.

	Glycogen storage disease type 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Glycogen storage disease Type IV (Andersen's disease or amylopectinosis) is due to a glycogen branching enzyme deficiency (GBE), causing the storage of a glycogen of abnormal structure with fewer ramifications resembling the structure of the amylopectine.
		Polyglucosan body disease, characterized by widespread upper and lower motor neuron lesions, can present with or without GBE deficiency indicating that different biochemical defects could result in an identical phenotype.
		It is evident that glycogen storage disease type IV exists in multiple forms with enzymatic and molecular heterogeneity There is no specific treatment.

		Arthur Andersen's conviction on obstruction of justice charges related to the Enron debacle spelled the abrupt end of the 88-year-old accounting firm.
		Drawing on her expertise as a social scientist and her experience as an Andersen insider, Toffler chronicles how a culture of arrogance and greed infected her company and led to enormous lapses in judgment among her peers.
		She chronicles the company's history of high standards and then analyses how these values were gradually traduced by greedy partners, who wished to transcend their status as "mere accountants" and enter the big leagues of consultants.

		The term glycogen storage disease (GSD) refers to a number of inherited metabolic conditions where genetic enzyme deficiencies cause excessive accumulation of glycogen within the body.
		Each type of GSD is most commonly referred to by a number, although the disorders are also referred to by eponyms or according to the enzyme that is deficient.
		Type II GSD (Pompe disease) is both biochemically and clinically very different to the other GSDs.

		Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are a group of inherited genetic disorders that cause glycogen to be improperly formed or released in the body.
		Type I (Von Gierke disease, defect in glucose-6-phosphatase) – this is the most common type of GSD, and accounts for 90% of all GSD cases
		The primary risk factor for GSDs is having a family member with this disease.
