Frederick Charles Pybus
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Frederick Charles Pybus DCL, FRCS (2 November 1883 – 10 March 1975) was an English surgeon from Newcastle-on-Tyne, who contributed to research into organ transplantation.[1]
Research
In July 1916, Pybus reported an attempt at allogenic transplantation of pancreatic tissue. Despite a mild reduction in glucose excretion in one of two diabetic patients transplanted with fragments of human cadaveric pancreatic tissue.,[2] both patients subsequently died.[3]
Pybus concluded that:
...although transplants represented the most rational form of therapy, they would continue to fail as long as science did not understand the principles involved.[3]
He presented his collection of books on the history of medicine to the library of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.[4]
