Following papers presented in 1989 demonstrating that over 90% pure islets are isolated from pancreases when using the UW organ preservation solution (1), the outcome of transplantation of highly purified UW-isolated islets was reported in a proceedings paper presented August 1990 at the XIII International Congress of The Transplantation Society in San Francisco, USA (2,3).
The Transplantation Proceedings paper, published Feb 1991 is now available online below (3).

Trump’s Speeches, Increasingly Angry and Rambling, Reignite the Question of Age

“Former President Donald J. Trump vividly recounted how the audience at his climactic debate with Vice President Kamala Harris was on his side. Except that there was no audience. The debate was held in an empty hall. No one “went crazy,” as Mr. Trump put it, because no one was there.”

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.
