  • Henry Buchwald, M.D., Ph.D. Narrator Lauren Klaffke Interviewer
    Henry Buchwald, M.D., Ph.D. Narrator Lauren Klaffke Interviewer ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTER ORAL HISTORY PROJECT UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTER ORAL HISTORY PROJECT In 1970, the University of Minnesota’s previously autonomous College of Pharmacy and School of Dentistry were reorganized, together with the Schools of Nursing, Medicine, and Public Health, and the University Hospitals, into a centrally organized and administered Academic Health Center (AHC). The university’s College of Veterinary Medicine was also closely aligned with the AHC at this time, becoming formally incorporated into the AHC in 1985. The development of the AHC made possible the coordination and integration of the education and training of the health care professions and was part of a national trend which saw academic health centers emerge as the dominant institution in American health care in the last third of the 20th century. AHCs became not only the primary sites of health care education, but also critical sites of health sciences research and health care delivery. The University of Minnesota’s Academic Health Center Oral History Project preserves the personal stories of key individuals who were involved with the formation of the university’s Academic Health Center, served in leadership roles, or have specific insights into the institution’s history. By bringing together a representative group of figures in the history of the University of Minnesota’s AHC, this project provides compelling documentation of recent developments in the history of American health care education, practice, and policy. 2 Biographical Sketch Henry Buchwald was born in Vienna, Austria. His family, fleeing from the Holocaust, came to the United States in 1938.

  • Letter from the President
    Published online: 7 July 2010 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Letter of Invitation from Dr. Fobi On behalf of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, which is hosting this IFSO XV Congress, it is my honor and that of the Co-President of this Congress, Dr Henry Buchwald, to welcome you to Los Angeles/Long Beach for IFSO 2010. The expectations for this Los Angeles/Long Beach Congress are high. Yes, it is the Fobi Congress. Yes, it is where the first international Symposium on Surgical Treatment of Obesity was hosted from 1981 through 1991. Yes, it was The International Symposium on Surgical Treatment of Obesity that brought doctors from all over the world to share their experiences in bariatric surgery. Yes, it was this International Symposium that formed the international camaraderie which was the building base for IFSO. IFSO, since its inception in 1995 in Stockholm, has grown by leaps and bounds. The first Congress in 1996 had 265 attendees, and IFSO 2009 had 1550 attendees. We are planning for 2000 attendees in 2010. The national organizing committee has been working on the program,’ and there have been a lot of suggestions from many on what will make this Congress a must attend’ and the most talked about. The plan is to stage a high quality Congress that is affordable and meets the needs of all attendees. In addition to the posters, videos and paper sessions that will come from abstracts submitted, there will be master lectures, symposiums and roundtable panel discussions and debates. There are post-graduate courses planned on what to do, how to do it and why.

Today, these remarkable events most significant medical triumphs of the 20th are celebrated at the National Museum of century. PHOTO COURTESYPHOTO OF MINNESOTA THE UNIVERSITY American History in Washington D.C. While leading Minnesota figures in cardiac surgery—F. John Lewis, C. Walton Lillehei and Earl Bakken, to name a few— have been honored, much of the credit is also attributed to the singular leadership of department chair Owen Harding Wan- gensteen, who served as the department’s charismatic leader from 1930 to 1967.1 Fostering an atmosphere that emphasized the need for surgical science, he encour- aged surgeons to develop active research agendas in the laboratory. The focus on surgical research and its integration into medical education yielded many impor- tant contributions to mid-century surgery beyond cardiology’s impressive results. Wangensteen presided over an active research program that included the devel- opment of nasogastric suction to manage the surgical complications of bowel ob- struction and Henry Buchwald’s work on cholesterol metabolism and development of bariatric surgery. Moreover, during the Wangensteen era, the stage was set for the pioneering organ transplant work that followed under John Najarian’s tenure as chair during the 1970s.

  • Congress Program
    2nd World Congress on Interventional Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes March 28-30, 2011 Hilton New York • New York, NY • USA Congress Director Francesco Rubino, MD Congress Program www.wcidt.org Hosted By Welcome to the 2nd World Congress on Interventional therapies for Type 2 diabetes Dear Colleagues and Friends, Several gastrointestinal (GI) operations originally designed to treat morbid obesity also cause dramatic improvement or even remission of type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms by which surgery controls hyperglycemia remain elusive. Increasing evidence suggests that weight-independent mechanisms may play a role in the surgical control of diabetes. This knowledge challenges current paradigms of disease pathogenesis and points to the gastrointestinal tract as a potential target for the development of less invasive interventional therapies and novel pharmaceuticals. Previously, the Diabetes Surgery Summit (Rome 2007) and the 1st World Congress on Interventional Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes (New York 2008), have raised attention about the role of gastrointestinal surgery for the treatment of diabetes: opportunities and limitations of this emerging field are now the matter of a growing debate. The debate continues with the 2nd World Congress on Interventional Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes. A multidisciplinary group of clinicians, scientists and policy makers will address barriers that still prevent access to surgical treatment of diabetes in eligible patients and develop an agenda of research priorities to improve patients selection and elucidate mechanisms of diabetes control. A stellar Faculty of leading international scientists will also discuss how the lessons learned from study of gastrointestinal interventions may improve understanding of diabetes and provide a lead for future treatments of curative intent.
