Pancreas Graft

Pancreas transplantation (PT) is considered as the only treatment that can convert a diabetic patient in a euglucemic state without the use of insulin or oral antidiabetic drugs. From 1996 to the end of 2016, more than 50,000 PT were performed in USA, and in Spain were performed 1.730 PT during the last 10 years. In this review we will perform an update of PT considering the introduction of several advances in the last years, adding our accumulated experience from the beginning of our program in the year 1995. The first PT was carried out in the Hospital of the University of Minnesota, and from that date several significant improvements have been introduced along the time due to advances in surgical technique in pancreas donors and recipients, perioperative management of patients, and introduction of more potent immunosuppressors able to reduce the rejection rate under 20%. Although PT is a therapy associated with a higher morbidity (pancreas graft thrombosis, systemic and intraabdominal infections, anastomotic leakages, etc.), currently most of the PT teams have obtained a rate of 93% of patient survival at 3-years, and between 78% and 83% of graft survival at 3-years. Additionally, the normal pancreas graft function is associated with an improvement of quality of life and most of complications related to diabetes, without the necessity to treat with antidiabetics drugs or insulin.

The Quality Control Committee laboratory is a unique organization which was started approximately 32 years ago by Dr. Harold Macy of the University of Minnesota. The dairy industry operates a laboratory which does most of the official testing for the health agencies in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market. With higher costs of operations many health agencies are trying to find ways of saving money, and still have a satisfactory laboratory program to protect the public's health. Some health agencies are using industry laboratories, and the cost is passed on to the customer rather than the taxpayer. The laboratory functions are to evaluate the quality of the raw milk supply from 4238 Grade A producers, and the finished products from 17 processing plants. The laboratory also does the official butterfat testing for the Federal Milk Market Administrator for Order 68. This organization is supervised by a Steering Committee of nine individuals who represent the University of Minnesota; the producer cooperatives, who supply the raw milk; and the Grade A fluid milk processors from the Minneapolis-St. Paul market. All of the routine results from the laboratory are provided to the health agencies. The health agencies and laboratory manager have a close working relationship to coordinate the program. In order for an organization like this to work, it takes cooperation from all parties involved.

Fred Ho’s Wicked Theory and Naked Practice

To speak of someone as unparalleled often seems trite; in Fred Ho’s case, it seems mandatory. A composer, musician, performance artist, and scholar, he really lived a life beyond categorization. In 2009, with the collaboration of Diane C. Fujino, the University of Minnesota Press published a retrospective anthology of his writings titled Wicked Theory, Naked Practice. Sadly, that volume is now also a memorial: a self-written festschrift. On April 12, 2014, Fred Ho succumbed to cancer, leaving behind an astonishingly innovative body of work. Fred Wei-Han Houn, or Hóu Wéihàn, later more popularly known as Fred Ho, was extraordinary. A virtuosic talent, he was a renaissance person without being limited by the masculinist modifier “man.” Wicked Theory, Wicked Practice offers a cross-section of Ho’s passionate written work over a decade. This collection is divided into four parts: 1) “The Movement and The Self,” 2) “Music Aesthetics and Artistic Production,” 3) “Asian American Pacific Cultural Theory and Criticism,” and 4) “Wicked Theory, Naked Practice.” However, the book really may be read in any order. In fact, tackling it out of order or choosing a random article might be in keeping with the improvisatory quality of much of Ho’s work. It is evocative of a quotation attributed to Cecil Taylor to the effect that “If a man plays for a certain amount of time—scales, licks, what have you—eventually a kind of order asserts itself.”

Data from a 12 year followup of a longitudinal study of a creative behavior were analyzed in such a way as to give clues concerning creative young women in today's world. The subjects were students at the University of Minnesota High School (grades 7 through 12) in 1959. Followup data were obtained from 117 women and 119 men. A canonical correlation of 31 was obtained for the creativity predictors and three criteria of adult creative behavior; one of .59 was obtained for the men and one of .46 for the women. There were no differences in any of the creativity predictor measures for the subjects except for elaboration (favoring the women) nor in either of the three criteria of adult creative behavior. Number of children negatively influenced performance on all three of the criteria for the women but only the quality of the creative achievement and creativeness of aspirations of the men. The more creative women tended more frequently than their less creative peers to be involved concurrently in careers and families while the less creative women more frequently limited their involvement to their families. The more creative women tended to find their highest creative achievements in writing, educational innovation, research and new theory, and music.

Abstract The 2019 Minnesota Legislature requested the Department of Human Services (DHS) and Minnesota Board on Aging to develop and administer a report card for assisted living (AL), including conducting annual resident and family surveys in Minnesota AL settings. This presentation includes the perspectives of representatives from MN DHS and Vital Research, as well as the University of Minnesota team who worked together to develop survey items, carry out the cognitive testing, and conduct analyses. Survey items were developed from published literature and existing tools on assisted living quality and underwent testing with MN stakeholders and cognitive testing with MN AL residents. Pilot testing assessed any further changes that needed to take place for resident and family satisfaction with AL quality (n=400). Presenters will share lessons learned with implementing the new tools and different aspects of the of the report card development and implementation process as well as the survey findings.
