Pancreas Transplantation: Does Age Increase Morbidity?
Introduction. Pancreas transplantation (PTx) is the only definitive intervention for type 1 diabetes. Medical advancements in diabetes care have led to an aging PTx candidate pool. We report our experience with patients ≥50 years of age undergoing PTx. Methods. We reviewed 136 consecutive PTx patients at our institution from 1996-2010; 17 were ≥50 years of age. We evaluated demographics, surgic...
متن کاملPoint:Counterpoint: Skeletal muscle mechanical efficiency does/does not increase with age POINT: SKELETAL MUSCLE MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY DOES INCREASE WITH AGE
We thank Dr. Ortega for the opportunity to debate the concept that aging affects exercise efficiency. From the outset we must acknowledge that, indeed, some studies report an age-related reduction task efficiency during walking and other rather complex tasks (2, 12, 20, 21). However, in contrast, our recent study of leg cycling in centenarians (28), as well as other work focused more specifical...
متن کاملComments on point:counterpoint: skeletal muscle mechanical efficiency does/does not increase with age.
TO THE EDITOR: There is little doubt that the cost of locomotion is impaired with age as it is evident that centenarians, due to their exceptional longevity, present unique adaptations in their skeletal muscle efficiency to compensate for their extremely low V̇O2max. However, the underlying question of whether skeletal muscle efficiency is altered with age is unsettled (4, 6). In fact, both oppo...
متن کاملThe learning curve of laparoscopic treatment of rectal cancer does not increase morbidity.
INTRODUCTION The treatment of rectal cancer via laparoscopy is controversial due to its technical complexity. Several randomized prospective studies have demonstrated clear advantages for the patient with similar oncological results to those of open surgery, although during the learning of this surgical technique there may be an increase in complications and a worse prognosis. OBJECTIVE Our a...
متن کاملIncreasing pulse wave velocity in a realistic cardiovascular model does not increase pulse pressure with age.
The mechanism of the well-documented increase in aortic pulse pressure (PP) with age is disputed. Investigators assuming a classical windkessel model believe that increases in PP arise from decreases in total arterial compliance (C(tot)) and increases in total peripheral resistance (R(tot)) with age. Investigators assuming a more sophisticated pulse transmission model believe PP rises because i...
