Effect of 1 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 Treatment on Insulin Secretion and Muscle Strength in Pre-diabetic Persons

The aim of this study is to assess the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on insulin secretion by the pancreas and glucose utilization by skeletal muscle as well as to determine the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on muscle strength in pre-diabetic persons

Dual-scopic Pancreatic Necrosectomy (DPN)

The LPN procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The transperitoneal access to peripancreatic space is via the gastro-colic ligament and greater omentum, effusion and pus is removed by laparoscopic forceps and suction. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is performed during the LPN procedure on patients with indication. The NPN procedure is followed …

Hyperpolarized Imaging for New Treatments

The introduction of triple combination CFTR modulator therapy for patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) with at least one copy of the deltaF508 mutation is expected to provide major health benefits, but will also require novel outcome measures that can detect CF lung disease at an early stage, capture the efficacy …

Connexin Genotypes in Cystic Fibrosis

Background: There is wide variety in lung disease phenotype for the delta F508 (homozygous) genotype. A leukocyte driven inflammation is most important for the pathogenesis of pulmonary disease in CF. Blood cytokines correlate negatively with pulmonary function in delta F508 homozygous patients. Gap junction proteins might be of importance for …

Pulse-low-dose Rate (PLDR) Radiation in Pancreatic Cancer

Standard chemoradiation, followed by surgery are standard treatment plan for patients suffering from pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Due to damage to the surrounding healthy tissue caused by standard radiation, this study uses a new type of radiation plan- pulsed low-dose rate (PLDR) radiation , in combination with chemotherapeutic drug, gemcitabine, given weekly …
