A Novel Microfluidic Device for Purification of Pancreatic Islet Preparations.
Purpose: Demonstrate that novel continuous flow microfluidic designs can be utilized to remove contaminating acinar tissue and sort the purified islets, based on size and…2016 American Transplant Congress
High Resolution Detection of Human Pancreatic Islet Damage During and After Isolation Procedure Using MicroRNAs.
Background: Pancreatic islets are subjected to stresses throughout isolation procedures that account for considerable variation in quality and yield. Multiparameter methods are needed to monitor…2016 American Transplant Congress
IgM Treatment Successfully Prevents Type 1 Diabetes by Dysregulation of Pancreatic MicroRNAs with Immunomodulatory Roles.
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is hallmarked by beta-cells destruction. We aimed to identify specific pancreatic microRNAs (miRNA) as potential biomarkers for T1D prediction and diagnosis,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pancreas Transplantation from Pediatric Donors: A UNOS Registry Analysis.
Division of Transplantation, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago.
Introduction: Major concerns about the utilization of pediatric pancreata are the cumulative islet mass and the increased technical complexity. The primary aim of this study…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Early Hospital Readmission Following Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplantation.
Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
BACKGROUND: Our group recently demonstrated that 54% of simultaneous pancreas kidney (SPK) recipients experience early hospital readmission (EHR). It is unknown whether EHR following SPK…2016 American Transplant Congress
Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplantation for Type 2 Diabetes.
Transplantation, California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco, CA.
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is characterized initially by insulin resistance and later by beta cell failure. Historically, T2DM has been a relative contraindication for…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Donor Alcohol Intake on Pancreatic Graft Survival
Introduction:Alcohol (EtOH) abuse can damage the pancreas, but outcomes of pancreas transplantation from donors with a high EtOH intake are poorly defined. The aim of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Longterm Outcome in Pancreas Grafts After Polyomavirus Infection in Combined Kidney-Pancreas Transplants: A Single Center Report
Purpose: We retrospectively analyzed the longterm survival and function in pancreas grafts after reduction of immunosuppression due to polyomavirus infection in simultaneous pancreas kidney transplants…2015 American Transplant Congress
Is BMI of 28 an Appropriate Cutoff for Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplant in Type II Diabetes?
Multi-Organ Transplant Institute, Ochsner Clinic Foundation, New Orleans, LA.
In simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) transplantation, obesity has been reported to be associated with inferior survival and increased post-transplant complications. With implementation of the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Reconsideration of Age Limits for Pancreas Transplantation
Div. of Transplantation, Dept. of Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.
Introduction: Pancreas transplantation (PTx) remains the only strategy for reinstitution of long-term insulin production and outcomes have progressively improved. Yet, historically, centers have employed age-limits…
