Post-alcoholic hypoglycaemia: a clinical and pathological study
… hyperinsulinism was suspected. In one case total pancreatectomy was performed but thorough macroscopical and histological investigation failed to reveal a tumour or hyperplasia, and the patient subsequently suffered from diabetes. In August 1958, I admitted an African female patient, of 26 …

Inhibition of TLR4 minimizes islet damage due to sterile inflammation and improves islet transplant outcomes.
… 1 diabetes and as an adjunct procedure after total pancreatectomy to prevent brittle diabetes. The efficacy and long-term function of islet transplantation have significantly improved over the last two decades. However, transplant outcomes are still largely compromised due to inflammation …

Targeting toll-like receptor 4 related inflammation using small molecule, TAK-242, to attenuate inflammatory damage in pancreatitis and islet transplantation.
… for measuring islet graft damage following total pancreatectomy with islet autologous transplantation. I then demonstrate a reduction in these biomarkers and decreases in immune cell activation through inhibition of TLR4. Finally, I show not only does inhibition of TLR4 have effects by …

Efficacy and Feasibility of Fully Automated Closed Loop Insulin Pump Therapy after Islet Auto-Transplantation
Background: TPIAT may relieve pain from chronic pancreatitis while minimizing diabetes risk. Avoiding hyperglycemia minimizes islet apoptosis during engraftment. Closed Loop therapy may improve glycemic control in this population. Methods: Analysis of 14 patients (36% male; age 35.9±11.4 years) at …
