Islet graft function by mixed meal tolerance testing is sustained over 4 years in young children undergoing total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation.
Clin Transplant
December 2023
Departments of Pediatrics, Minneapolis, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Some kids with severe stomach pain might need surgery to remove their pancreas and get healthy cells from their own pancreas to help with diabetes.
- Researchers looked at how well this surgery worked for young kids compared to older teens by testing their blood sugar after eating.
- They found that younger kids had a better chance of not needing insulin after the surgery because their new pancreas cells worked better than for the older teens.
Community Primary Care Provider Preferences for Emergency Department Follow-up Recommendations: A Regional Study.
Pediatr Emerg Care
October 2017
From the *Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, University of Minnesota Medical School and University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital; and †Department of Pediatrics, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN; ‡Biostatistics and Data Management Core, John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI; and §Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Auburn University, Auburn, AA.
Background: Children who present to emergency departments (EDs) for care are frequently advised to follow up with their primary care providers (PCPs) after discharge; little is known about whether PCPs agree that follow-up advised by EDs is appropriate for their patients.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine PCP preferences for follow-up recommendations given to their pediatric patients at the time of ED visits and to compare these preferences to reported emergency medicine provider (EMP) practice.
Methods: This was an online survey of PCPs and EMPs in a regional health system assessing preferred timing for ED follow-up recommendations for 15 common pediatric conditions and whether the follow-up should be definite or contingent.
Outcomes and Risk Factors for Graft Loss: Lessons Learned from 1,056 Pediatric Kidney Transplants at the University of Minnesota.
J Am Coll Surg
April 2017
Department of Surgery, University of Minnesota Medical School and University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital, Minneapolis, MN.
Background: Advances in immunosuppression, surgical techniques, and management of infections in children receiving kidney transplants have affected outcomes.
Study Design: We analyzed a prospectively maintained database of pediatric kidney transplantations.
Results: From June 1963 through October 2016, we performed 1,056 pediatric kidney transplantations.
Changes in inflammation, oxidative stress and adipokines following bariatric surgery among adolescents with severe obesity.
Int J Obes (Lond)
February 2016
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH, USA.
Background/objectives: Inflammation, oxidative stress and dysregulation of adipokines are thought to be pathophysiological mechanisms linking obesity to the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. In adults, bariatric surgery reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, and beneficially changes the levels of several adipokines, but little is known about the postsurgical changes among adolescents.
Subjects/methods: In two separate longitudinal cohorts we evaluated change from baseline of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), monocyte chemo-attractant protein-1 (MCP-1), oxidized low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (oxLDL), adiponectin, leptin and resistin up to 12 months following elective laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) surgery in adolescents with severe obesity.
