Background: Pancreas transplantation, a crucial treatment for diabetes, is underutilized due to its invasiveness, strict criteria, organ scarcity, and limited centers. This highlights the need for enhanced public education and awareness through digital health platforms.
Methods: We utilized Google's AI-driven, consensus-based model and Claude AI 3.0 Opus by Anthropic to analyze public perceptions of pancreas transplantation. The top 10 websites identified by Google as of April-May 2024 were reviewed, focusing on sentiment, consensus, content readability, and complexity to develop strategies for better public engagement and understanding using digital health technologies.
Results: The top 10 websites, originating from the US and UK, showed a neutral and professional tone, targeting medical professionals and patients. Complex content was updated between 2021 and 2024, with a readability level suitable for high school to early college students. AI-driven analysis revealed strategies to increase public interest and understanding, including incorporating patient stories, simplifying medical jargon, utilizing visual aids, emphasizing quality of life improvements, showcasing research progress, facilitating patient outreach, promoting community engagement, partnering with influencers, and regularly updating content through digital health platforms.
Conclusion: To increase interest in pancreas transplantation in the era of connected health, we recommend integrating real patient experiences, simplifying medical content, using visual explanations, emphasizing post-transplant quality-of-life improvements, highlighting recent research, providing outreach opportunities, encouraging community connections, partnering with influencers, and keeping information current through digital health technologies. These methods aim to make pancreas transplantation more accessible and motivating for a diverse audience, supporting informed decision-making.

A retrospective, multicentric, nationwide analysis of the impact of splenectomy on survival of pancreatic cancer patients.

Objective: Splenectomy is regularly performed in total and distal pancreatectomy due to technical reasons, lymph node dissection and radicality of the operation. However, the spleen serves as an important organ for competent immune function, and its removal is associated with an increased incidence of cancer and a worse outcome in some cancer entities (Haematologica 99:392-398, 2014; Dis Colon Rectum 51:213-217, 2008; Dis Esophagus 21:334-339, 2008). The impact of splenectomy in pancreatic cancer is not fully resolved (J Am Coll Surg 188:516-521, 1999; J Surg Oncol 119:784-793, 2019).

Early failure of a pancreatic allograft due to complete thrombosis has an incidence of approximately 10% and is the main cause of comorbidity in pancreas transplantation. Although several risk factors have been identified, the exact mechanisms leading to this serious complication are still unclear. In this review, we define the roles of the individual components involved during sterile immunothrombosis-namely endothelial cells, platelets, and innate immune cells.

Objective: In the last decade there has been increasing interest in defining pancreatic steatosis (PS) and establishing its association with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, no consensus guidelines have yet been published on the management of PS. In this systematic review and meta-analysis performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we investigated the association between PS and PDAC.

Background: Deceased donor multiorgan transplants utilizing kidneys (MOTs) can improve outcomes for multiorgan recipients but reduces kidneys for chronic renal failure patients.
Methods: We reviewed the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network database from 2015 through 2019, for adult deceased donor kidney transplants. Recipients were classified as kidney transplant alone (KTA) (n = 62,252) or MOTs pancreas-kidney, simultaneous pancreas-kidney (n = 3,976), liver-kidney, simultaneous liver-kidney (n = 3,212), heart-kidney, simultaneous heart-kidney (n = 808), and "other"-kidney, simultaneous "other" kidney (n = 73).
Sex and gender as predictors for allograft and patient-relevant outcomes after kidney transplantation.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
December 2024
Sydney School of Public Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia.
Background: Sex, as a biological construct, and gender, defined as the cultural attitudes and behaviours attributed by society, may be associated with allograft loss, death, cancer, and rejection. Other factors, such as recipient age and donor sex, may modify the association between sex/gender and post-transplant outcomes.
Objectives: We sought to evaluate the prognostic effects of recipient sex and, separately, gender as independent predictors of graft loss, death, cancer, and allograft rejection following kidney or simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation.
