poetry together as
we have done in this
presentation!

4. 204 Years of the Spirit of Banff 1895-2099 122
Back 82 Forward

5. Homer Smith, born 1895, turned Kim on to the
kidney in med school 3rd yr.

6. Homer Smith born 1895 Turned me on to
kidney in med school 3rd year .

7. Louis Armstrong, born 1901, Turned Kim on to
the trumpet and jazz.

8. Robert Heptinstall, born 1920, was Kim Solez’s
mentor in renal pathology

9. Solez, Morel-Maroger, and Sraer
Medicine 58:362-376, 1979. Morphology
of "acute tubular necrosis" in man:
Analysis of 57 renal biopsies and
comparison with the glycerol model. My
most cited paper before coming to
Edmonton as Chair of Pathology.

10. Solez, Morel-Maroger, and Sraer
Medicine 58:362-376, 1979
1. Of the 12 lesions assessed in the 57 “ATN”
biopsies 10 persisted after functional
recovery. Only 2 lesions correlated with
function, were present when renal failure
was present and absent after recovery:
1)thinning of PAS positive brush border, & 2)
shedding of individual tubular epithelial cells
leaving bare basement membrane.

11. Solez, Morel-Maroger, and Sraer
Medicine 58:362-376, 1979
2. Lesions which persisted after recovery of
function included tubular dilation, regeneration,
mitoses, casts, interstitial edema, inflammation,
nucleated cells in vasa recta, dilation of
Bowman’s capsule, tubularization of Bowman’s
capsule epithelium, & juxtaglomerular
apparatus hyperplasia. The latter two were
more prominent in recovery biopsies.

12. Solez, Morel-Maroger, and Sraer
Medicine 58:362-376, 1979
3. Lumping all acute tubular injury lesions
together guarantees that histology assessment
will appear to be inferior to molecular
assessment, since the majority of ATI lesions
persist after functional recovery. Only studies
which separately assess the two lesions which
correlate functionally are valid. i.e. 1)thinning or
absence of PAS positive brush border, & 2)
shedding of individual tubular epithelial cells .

13. Paper still referred to in recent reviews,
findings uncontested.
Basile et al., 2012

14. Cannot say molecules change faster than
morphology until you look at these two
lesions, BB loss and cell exfoliation!
Basile et al., 2012

15. Heptinstall called the 1979 paper ”the
best that can be done with a difficult
subject!”

16. Later work on Transplant Acute Tubular Injury
Was an Important Antecedent to Banff Studies
1993 KI paper on Transplant ATI.

17. New insights into transplant ATN, Solez et al. 1993
Brush border loss not a feature of transplant ATN.

18. Forty years later a more nuanced
understanding of the post ischemic kidney
is that tubular injury and microvascular
injury are separable components which
can be influenced in opposite ways by
pharmacologic interventions. Both types
of injury contribute to renal functional
impairment. These issues are the subject
of major precision medicine initiatives
which should bear fruit in 2019-2020.

19. Leonard Cohen, born 1934, turned Kim on to
poetry and his style of music

20. Nine months after meeting Kim Solez over 3 day
weekend in 2005 Leonard wrote song inspired by
their discussion of Banff borderline changes.

21. Ten years later Leonard removed all but one of the
borderlines and the song became the popular
“Treaty” on the 2016 You Want It Darker album.
“I wish there was a treaty we could sign
I do not care who takes this bloody hill …
I wish there was a treaty we could sign
It’s over now the water and the wine
We were broken then but now we’re borderline
I wish there was a treaty
I wish there was a treaty
Between your love and mine”
The notebook pages showing this ten year song transition were the
only such pages reproduced in the program for the “Tower of Song”
Tribute Concert in Montreal at the Bell Centre November 6th, 2017.

22. Paul Simon, born 1941, has inspired Kim with
his lyrics for a long time

23. Janis Joplin, born 1943, inspired Kim and was a
friend of Leonard Cohen

24. Rod Stewart, born 1945, inspired
Kim Solez and Lorraine Racusen

25. Kim Solez, born 1946, already plotting things at
age 3 seen here with father.

26. His first memory of event impacting outside world,
age 7: Hearing Queen Elizabeth Coronation on
Radio in 1953

27. The Origin of Kim’s Diversity Beliefs at Age 7,
Yasmini.

28. Which Led to This 2008 Essay

30. Ray Kurzweil, born 1948, co-founder of Singularity
University, is Kim Solez’s most important technology
influence.

31. Peter Diamandis, co-founder of Singularity
University born in 1961, is an important technology
influence.

32. Ed Sheeran, born in 1991, is an important
musical influence on Kim.

33. Banff Transplant Pathology
Classification Began at The
TransCanada Pipeline Pavilion at the
Banff Centre for Conferences in 1991

34. Banff meeting slide box mentioned in
first Banff abstract in 1991 is in itself
also an important player in story .

35. Ironically the last Banff classification
workshop in which these slides were
used was in 2004 in Aleppo, Syria.

36. Mallory Chipman, born 1994, is an
important musical collaborator in
technology&Leonard Cohen events!

37. Kim&Mallory initiated Technology&All
That Jazz Project to broaden the reach
of important ideas in science.

38. So where will it end? The farthest
future date in song Kim Solez can
conceptualize is Aug. 7, 2099

39. So where will it end? The farthest
future date in song Kim Solez can
conceptualize is Aug. 7, 2099

40. So where will it end? The farthest
future date in song Kim Solez can
conceptualize is Aug. 7, 2099

41. We have ended the timeline with Aug.
7, 2099, and will create an event page
but then again there is also this song!

42. So maybe we have to push our
imaginations to 5555. Kim Solez can
imagine that Banff will still be
remembered in 2525, but not in 5555!

43. Kim Solez, MD

44. Pennan, Scotland near Banff is where
classic 1983 movie “Local Hero” was shot

45. Kim Solez with meeting coordinator Michele
Hales in 2002 in Pennan.

Michele Hales is beside her. Phil Halloran is

47. Tori Sheldon and Akshatha Raghuveer. In 2007 we
lost our funding from the NKF and student staffing
began.

48. Many students have contributed
extensively to Banff meetings.

49. Video has become an important part of
meetings, Patricia Bacus, Banff 2017

50. Nikki Olson was important part of early video
efforts and creation of Tech&Future of Medicine
course

51. Laurie Bennett also provided early videography
assistance to Kim Solez

52. In recent years Tatiana Zagorac has become
main videography advisor to Kim Solez

53. Another important local hero is the local
Banff meeting director, like Daniel Seron in
Banff 2017. The subject of another ppt!

54. Kim Solez, MD

55. In 1991 Kim Solez and Lorraine Racusen Directed the First Banff Meeting
Which Created the Banff Classification of Transplant Pathology and Banff
Consensus Process
Classification established, lesion scoring,
diagnostic categories, physician-led consensus

56. BANFF CLASSIFICATION STANDARD FOR
TRANSPLANT BIOPSY INTERPRETATION
Began in kidney (Solez et al. 1993), and was then extended
to liver, pancreas, composite tissue grafts etc. Meetings
also consider heart, lung, small bowel.
Uses semiquantitative lesion scoring 0-3+ and diagnostic
categories. A pathologic classification of all pathologic
changes, not just rejection.

57. 1993 Meeting was joint with Canadian
Association of Pathologists – Future
Consortium was Important Antecedent
1993 Meeting - Liver classification, chronic rejection, first presentation on
molecular pathology approaches, CAP Future of Pathology Consortium consensus discussions
1988-94 were an important antecedent to Banff consensus discussions .
