    Which treatment cannot cure type 1 diabetes?

    • Pancreatic transplantation

    • Exercise and dieting

    • Islet cell transplantation

    Correct Answer
    A. Exercise and dieting
    Explanation
    Exercise and dieting cannot cure type 1 diabetes because type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Exercise and dieting can help manage the condition by regulating blood sugar levels and improving overall health, but they cannot restore or replace the damaged insulin-producing cells. Pancreatic transplantation and islet cell transplantation, on the other hand, involve replacing the damaged cells with healthy ones, offering a potential cure for type 1 diabetes.

    Islet cell transplantation and pancreatic transplantation are the best treatments for type 2 diabetes.

    • False

    • True

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Islet cell transplantation and pancreatic transplantation are not the best treatments for type 2 diabetes. These procedures are more commonly used for type 1 diabetes, where the body does not produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes is typically managed through lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, oral medications, and sometimes insulin therapy. Islet cell and pancreatic transplantation are considered more invasive and are usually reserved for severe cases of type 1 diabetes that are not well-controlled with other treatments. Therefore, the statement that these transplantations are the best treatments for type 2 diabetes is false.

    Type 1 diabetes results from the body's acceptance to produce insulin, the hormone that locks the cells of the body, allowing glucose to enter and fuel them.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. Type 1 diabetes actually results from the body's inability to produce insulin, rather than its acceptance to produce insulin. Insulin is necessary for the cells of the body to absorb glucose and use it as fuel. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leading to a lack of insulin production. As a result, glucose cannot enter the cells, leading to high levels of glucose in the blood.

    What treatment did Dr. James Shapiro research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes?

    • Islet cell transplantation

    • Pancreatic transplantation

    • Eat more healthy

    Correct Answer
    A. Islet cell transplantation
    Explanation
    Dr. James Shapiro researched islet cell transplantation as a treatment for type 1 diabetes. Islet cell transplantation involves transplanting clusters of cells from the pancreas (islet cells) that produce insulin into the patient's body. This procedure aims to restore the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels and eliminate the need for insulin injections. Dr. Shapiro's research focused on refining the transplantation technique and improving the outcomes for patients with type 1 diabetes.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which is not a negative effect of islet cell transplantation?

    • Possible rejection

    • Increased kidney function

    • Decrease WBC count

    Correct Answer
    A. Increased kidney function
    Explanation
    Islet cell transplantation is a procedure used to treat type 1 diabetes by replacing the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The transplantation of islet cells can have several negative effects, such as possible rejection due to the body's immune response. However, increased kidney function is not a negative effect of this procedure. In fact, improved kidney function is often observed in individuals who undergo successful islet cell transplantation, as it helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent further damage to the kidneys caused by diabetes.

    Who was the main researcher for pancreatic transplantations?

    • Dr. Kaufman

    • Dr. Shapiro

    • Dr. Raj

    Correct Answer
    A. Dr. Kaufman
    Explanation
    Dr. Kaufman was the main researcher for pancreatic transplantations.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which is a negative effect of pancreatic transplantation?

    • Weight loss

    • Decrease insulin levels

    • Possible death

    Correct Answer
    A. Possible death
    Explanation
    Pancreatic transplantation can have negative effects, one of which is possible death. This is because pancreatic transplantation is a major surgery that carries risks such as infection, bleeding, and organ rejection. In some cases, these complications can be severe and life-threatening, leading to possible death. It is important for patients considering pancreatic transplantation to weigh the potential benefits against the risks involved and make an informed decision in consultation with their healthcare provider.
