Type-1 Diabetics Benefit from Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplants
Research News in British Journal of Surgery 20 August 2003: Pancreas transplants have been slow to gain acceptance as treatment for type-1 insulin-dependent diabetic patients suffering end-stage renal disease. A recent study, to be published in the September 2003 issue of the British Journal of... view more (2003-08-26)

Minimally invasive pancreas surgery leads to fewer complications, study finds
When surgeons need to remove part of the pancreas, performing the operation with minimally invasive techniques offers patients a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications, researchers have concluded.   view more (2008-04-25)

Type-1 Diabetics Benefit from Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplants
Pancreas transplants have been slow to gain acceptance as treatment for type-1 insulin-dependent diabetic patients suffering end-stage renal disease. A recent study, to be published in the September 2003 issue of the British Journal of Surgery, however, concludes that simultaneous pancreas and... view more (2003-08-21)

A long-term survival offered by resection of solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas?
The article published in volume 14 issue 6 of World Journal of Gastroenterology reports on one patient who presented to Dr Cosimo Sperti of University of Padua, Padova, Italy, in 2001 after an exploratory laparotomy performed in another hospital for an unresectable pancreatic cystic mass that had... view more (2008-03-13)

Light therapy could be a new approach to treating patients with pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is notoriously difficult to treat, largely because of the location of the pancreas close to major arteries and vital organs, and the effects of a poorly functioning pancreas on the rest of the body. It is one of the top 10 leading causes of death from cancer worldwide, and in the... view more (2002-03-11)

Jefferson Department of Surgery announces new pancreas tumor registry
Charles J. Yeo, M.D., Samuel D. Gross Professor and Chair, Department of Surgery at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, announces the establishment of the new Jefferson Pancreas Tumor Registry (JPTR).   view more (2008-10-30)

Scientists discover how coffee can reduce risk of pancreatitis
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found how coffee can reduce the risk of alcohol-induced pancreatitis.   view more (2006-03-14)

A model of Pancreas based on the insulin extracting gel-polymer system
If the blood glucose overcontents (permissible content is 0.8-1 mg/ml), the pancreas be-gins to extract some inculin by which an unnecessary glucose is eliminated from blood and is assimilated by tissues.   view more (1999-08-20)

Cost of waiting for gall bladder surgery is high
A significant amount of NHS money is being used to treat patients with recurrent gallstone problems while they await surgery, warn researchers in Postgraduate Medical Journal.   view more (2002-12-13)

Study to test drug's potential to preserve insulin production in newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetics
A drug used to treat lymphoma, rheumatoid arthritis and other immune disorders may enable newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetics to save some of their pancreas function and thereby reduce their susceptibility to long-term complications.   view more (2006-03-16)

Penn study points to new direction for pancreas cell regeneration
Replacing faulty or missing cells with new insulin-making cells has been the object of diabetes research for the last decade. Past studies in tissue culture have suggested that one type of pancreas cell could be coaxed to transform into insulin-producing islet cells.   view more (2007-04-04)

A tumor of the pancreas mimicked by colonic duplication?
A case of cystic colonic duplication in an adult mimicked a tumor of the pancreas and the diagnosis was established by histopathological examination of the resected specimen after distal pancreatectomy.   view more (2008-03-13)

Looking at autoimmune diabetes, literally
A major problem for understanding and treating type1 diabetes is that we are unable to directly, but non-invasively, visualize the inflammatory lesions in the pancreas that cause the disease.   view more (2005-08-19)

Baylor researchers develop 'bubble' technique for potential treatment of Type I diabetes
Researchers at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas and the Baylor Research Institute have developed a novel technique to deliver insulin genes to the pancreas, the organ that produces the body's insulin.   view more (2006-05-22)

Metabolic syndrome identified as risk factor for kidney-pancreas transplant patients
A three-year multi-center study of kidney-pancreas transplant recipients has identified a new risk factor for impaired kidney function, which may help physicians refine their treatment strategies.   view more (2006-01-23)

Jefferson scientists find high glucose before surgery raises risk of dangerous complications
Patients who have high blood sugar before undergoing surgery run an increased risk of developing blood clots, deep vein thrombosis and even pulmonary embolism after surgery.   view more (2006-10-16)

Low blood glucose levels may complicate gastric bypass surgery, study shows
Physicians monitoring patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery should be on the alert for a new, potentially dangerous hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) complication that, while rare, may require quick treatment.   view more (2005-10-13)

Johns Hopkins develops pancreas cancer risk model
People with a family history of pancreas cancer now have a way to accurately predict their chance of carrying a gene for hereditary pancreas cancer and their lifetime risk of developing the disease.   view more (2007-04-17)

Pancreatic Cancer Surgery Five-Year Survivors 65 and Up Live Nearly as Long As Anyone
A new study shows that pancreatic cancer patients 65 or older who live at least five years after surgery have nearly as good a chance as anyone else to live another five years.   view more (2007-01-10)

Chemotherapy with gemcitabine delays progression of operable pancreatic cancer
Giving pancreatic cancer patients the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine after surgery delays progression of the disease by about six months, according to new research by Japanese scientists.   view more (2007-09-27)

Imaging technique is highly accurate in diagnosing, locating pancreas defects in newborns
The noninvasive imaging technology called positron-emission tomography (PET scan) is extremely accurate in diagnosing a type of congenital hyperinsulinism (HI), a rare but severe imbalance of insulin levels in newborns.   view more (2007-01-30)

Chewing gum associated with enhanced bowel recovery after colon surgery
Chewing gum is associated with enhanced recovery of intestinal function following surgery to remove all or part of the colon, according to an analysis of previously published studies in the August issue of Archives of Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.   view more (2008-08-19)

Cancer centers and high-volume hospitals may examine more lymph nodes in cancer patients
Patients with gastric or pancreatic cancer appear to have more lymph nodes examined for the spread of their disease if they are treated at hospitals performing more cancer surgeries or those designated as comprehensive cancer centers.   view more (2008-07-22)
