BACKGROUND: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is an arterial calcification marker which has been associated with vascular damage. Elevated OPG concentrations associated with low-grade inflammatory processes are found in diabetic subjects.
RATIONALE: Obesity is considered a relative contraindication to pancreas transplantation due to increased risks of wound-related complications. Robotic surgeries have never been applied for pancreas transplantation in obese recipients though robotic ...
A survey from the University of Liverpool concludes that young patients are receptive to the use of humanoid robots, and that the younger the children are, the more they are prepared to accept the advice of an assistant on castors.
