Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of omega-3 FAs on tumour angiogenesis and their therapeutic potential.
Laura Spencer,Christopher D. Mann,Matthew S. Metcalfe,M'Balu A. Webb,Cristina Pollard,Daniel Spencer,David P. Berry,Will P. Steward,Ashley R. Dennison +8 more
TL;DR: The conclusions drawn from this review suggest that omega-3 FAs in particular eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) found principally in oily fish have potent anti-angiogenic effects inhibiting production of many important angiogenic mediators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cystic lesions of the pancreas. A diagnostic and management dilemma.
G. Garcea,Seok Ling Ong,Arumugam Rajesh,Christopher P. Neal,Cristina Pollard,David P. Berry,Ashley R. Dennison +6 more
TL;DR: All patients with pancreatic cystic lesions, whether asymptomatic or symptomatic, must be thoroughly investigated to ascertain the underlying nature of the cyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total pancreatectomy with and without islet cell transplantation for chronic pancreatitis: a series of 85 consecutive patients.
Giuseppe Garcea,James Weaver,John Phillips,Cristina Pollard,Severine C. Ilouz,M'Balu A. Webb,David P. Berry,Ashley R. Dennison +7 more
TL;DR: Total pancreatectomy is effective in reducing pain and dependence on opioid analgesia in patients with chronic pancreatitis, and the addition of an islet cell transplant results in a reduction in 24-hour insulin demands, as well as potentially achieving insulin independence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Islet Auto Transplantation Following Total Pancreatectomy: A Long-Term Assessment of Graft Function
M'Balu A. Webb,Severine Illouz,Cristina Pollard,Robert Gregory,John F. Mayberry,Simon Tordoff,Margaret Bone,Christine J Cordle,David P. Berry,Michael L Nicholson,Patrick P. Musto,Ashley R. Dennison +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that simultaneous islet autotransplantation can abrogate the onset of diabetes and there is still evidence of significant long-term insulin secretion and possible protection against diabetic complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation: an overview
Seok Ling Ong,Gianpiero Gravante,Cristina Pollard,M'Balu A. Webb,Severine Illouz,Ashley R. Dennison +5 more
TL;DR: Details of the current surgical practice for total pancreatectomy combined with islet autotransplantation are provided, and the potential advantages and disadvantages of the variations adopted in each centre are outlined.
