Poster creation

The poster was designed and produced May 1992 on a Macintosh computer using MacDraw II (with bar graphs from Cricket Graph) and printed landscape across a chain of several sheets of paper using the Imagewriter dotmatrix printer.

For this 2024 remastered poster below, the 1992 MacDraw II file was converted and edited using LibreOffice Vanilla, and next Pixelmator Pro was used for additional ‘repair’ (conversion issues with the many layers used for ‘tubes’ creation) and the insertion of the photo scans.

Minneapolis 1989 Poster • 20240804 • michelvanderburg•com

September 1989 at a symposium of two international societies in Minneapolis, USA (1) , I presented this first poster on the ‘ invention ‘ of using the UW solution ( the University of Wisconsin organ preservation solution) during pancreatic islet isolation, with the exciting discovery of near-complete purification of islets of Langerhans in the laboratory for transplantation in diabetic patients.

Here the remastered 20240804 edition of that Minneapolis 1989 poster presentation.

The UWS data had been added ad hoc in the poster – that is , it wasn’t part of the accepted abstract. The first proceedings paper on our UWS work was also submitted at this meeting , and was published April ’90 (3).

A previous edition of the remastered poster was published here two years ago (2) but that edition had a different photo print (higher magnification, and without the bar indicator) of the purified islet preparation inserted, not the original image. This has been corrected now. In addition the original line spacing is now restored.

Later that year that exciting discovery was presented at meetings in Minneapolis, USA, and Barcelona, Spain. Details in yesterday’s post. Submission for publication as a letter in the Lancet had had no succes ;)

Minneapolis 1989 Poster UW Solution Islet Isolation | 20220822

Minneapolis 1989 Poster • 20240804 • michelvanderburg•com

September 1989 at a symposium of two international societies in Minneapolis, USA (1) , I presented this first poster on the ‘ invention ‘ of using the UW solution ( the University of Wisconsin organ preservation solution) during pancreatic islet isolation, with the exciting discovery of near-complete purification of islets of Langerhans in the laboratory for transplantation in diabetic patients. 

The next month at a meeting in Barcelona, Spain, this rather radical new concept was introduced (2, 3). June 1989 submission for publication as a letter in the Lancet had had no succes ;)


Poster designed and produced on my personal Macintosh ED and Imagewriter-II matrix printer, allowing full width printing over multiple pages in landscape (a low cost do-it-yourself discovery by me, at a time when posters were prepared on poster boards by graphical professionals using photography and special lettering techniques for around $400). Original MacDraw II file conversion with LibreOffice Vanilla.

Updates

20240804 – This remastered 20240804 edition of the Minneapolis 1989 poster , now shows the original photo of the islet prep as posted at the meeting in 1989. In addition the correct line spacing is now restored.
The previous poster published online two years ago (20220822) showed a different photo print (higher magnification, and without the bar indicator) of the same islet prep, not the correct image.
