Transplantation medicine

Regenerative medicine and transplantation is the recent advancement in the field of scientific medical research embarking on the evolvement of embryonic stem cells(ESCs)and reprogrammed human somatic cells called induced pleuri potent stem cells(iPSCs) .Human embryonic stem cells were first derived in 1998 by Thomson et al. and induced pleuri potent stem cells(iPSCs) in 2007(Thai Journal of Obstetrics and GynaecologyApril 2013) The innate proficiency of the human embryonic stem cells to differentiate

Something the Lord Made It only takes a thought to inspire someone to think that the impossible can be done. That is exactly what happened in Something the Lord Made. Dr. Blalock and Dr. Thomas did what they had always been told could never be done. Dr. Blalock had the thought and Dr. Thomas had the drive and self-motivation to prove that the impossible was possible. If it had not been for Dr. Blalock and Dr. Thomas millions of people would have continued to die due to cardiac problems. Since

Proposals Assignment Organ Transplantation is an innovative technology that replace the recipient’s damaged or absent organs by moving organs from one body to another. Transplantation can be performed within the same person’s body or between two subjects either from a living or cadaveric source. Scientists and historians estimate that in the early 80 BC, Indian doctors began grafting skin to treat burns and other wounds. In Early 1900s, Modern organs transplants began by European doctors that attempted

Xenotransplantation is the transplantation of tissue from one species to another. This paper concerns whole organ xenotransplantation. Xenotransplantation offers a viable solution to a growing problem, namely the dire shortage of available organs for transplantation, which is set to worsen as life expectancy increases. Thus, xenotransplantation has the potential to benefit those on waiting lists, reduce risks associated with living donors, ameliorate economic burdens on health care services and

cases was local infection. We documented a novel, simple, economic, time saving and applicable tie-over dressing that allows fixing and re-fixing of the skin grafts when needed to maintain a proper pressure dressing to the wound. Keywords Skin transplantation / Reconstructive surgical procedure / surgical fixation devices. Introduction Skin grafting is the most common procedure used in reconstructive surgery. Tie-over dressing is the most common technique used to fix the skin graft to the recipient

Response/Recommendation: A combined method of allograft sterilization appears to be the best method to reduce the possibility of viral, bacterial and fungal infection as well as preserve the bio-mechanical properties of the graft. Sterilization methods should involve a low dose of gamma radiation (<25 KGy), chemical sterilization and antibiotic soaking. The use of radio-protective solutions (i.e. propylene glycol, dimethyl sulfoxide, mannitol and trehalose) can be effective in reducing the risk of

Introduction What is professional practice and how does it differ between patient facing versus laboratory based clinical scientists? Is there in fact a difference? Professional practice is one of the 5 domains of good scientific practice which define the standards and values all healthcare professionals should strive towards. Furthermore professional practice can be further divided into professional practice, probity, working with colleagues and training and developing others. As can be imagined

medical attention, their organs would then be of no use because they never gave permission for their organs to be donated to those individuals who needed them. This in turn means one of the one hundred and twenty thousand individuals on the organ transplantation list will most likely lose their life, because one selfish individual was more concerned about living their own life as opposed to sacrificing their life for another

My grandpa died of heart complications. He had gone through many stages in the process leading to a heart transplant, and had been put on the list for a heart. At the time that he passed I knew he needed a heart transplant, but I was unsure of what it actually was. A heart transplant is an operation to remove a diseased heart and to replace it with an appropriate donor heart. There is a rigorous process to determine a heart transplant is going to be performed on a proper candidate. There is always
