[QUOTE="leather_ferret, post: 137726, member: 24631"] Hi Ken, Thanks for the links. :D Hi Phoenix, Thanks for the link to that paper, It is one among hundreds I lost when the hard drive died. Interesting that this appears to be just about the only paper available and that it took till 1974 for someone to question and research the 'received wisdom' about the concentration of islets in the tail. paper intro reads:- The paper intro says [i]"one consideration in planning operations for the traumatized or inflamed pancreas would be to preserve as many islets as possible. It has been stated that the concentration of islets is greater in the tail than in the head of the pancreas. We could find no documentation for this opinion in the medical literature."[/i] As the paper looked at only 9 organs and the range in results was very large, I would guess that the results are statistically not that reliable. Given the stated importance in making decisions about the best type of pancreas surgery with islet preservation in mind, I am surprised not to be able to locate more extensive and up-to-date research on this subject. With the growing application of Islet cell transplant, the research must have been done to establish best practice for cell recovery for transplanting. Thanks again Guys Dave [/QUOTE]
