Non-heart beating donors.
BACKGROUND Several groups have demonstrated that non-heart beating donation is a viable source of organs for transplantation. However, the theoretically worse graft function and survival of the kidneys obtained from non-heart beating donors (NHBDs) is still a matter of debate that has led to consider them as marginal donors for kidney transplantation. METHODS In this report, we compare the ou...
متن کاملCharacterizing the metabolic capacity of the anoxic hagfish heart.
Pacific hagfish, Eptatretus stoutii, can recover from 36 h of anoxia at 10°C. Such anoxia tolerance demands the mobilization of anaerobic fuels and the removal of metabolic wastes--processes that require a functional heart. The purpose of this study was to measure the metabolic response of the excised, cannulated hagfish heart to anoxia using direct calorimetry. These experiments were coupled w...
متن کاملInnervation of the Systemic Heart of the California Hagfish.
• Greene'' more than 60 years ago (1902) reported that the systemic heart of the California hagfish (Eptatretus stouti) is free from all nervous regulation and therefore must be aneural. This conclusion was reached mainly because he was unable to change the rate and force of the heart beat by electric stimulation of the vagus nerve and of various parts of the central nervous system. Augustinsso...
متن کاملPreliminary results of heart-beating and non-heart-beating donor kidney transplants--the Singapore experience.
Renal transplantation is the ideal renal replacement therapy for treatment of end stage kidney failure but its limitation is the constant shortage of cadaveric donors. While the traditional source of cadaveric kidneys is procurement from heart-beating donors, organ procurement from non-heart-beating donors (NHBD) would help in coping with the rising demand for organs. However various important ...
متن کاملNon-heart-beating organ donation
Transplantation programmes throughout the world are struggling to maintain current levels of organ donation. Transplant waiting lists continue to rise and the resulting deficit is growing year on year. Cadaveric heart-beating donation (HBD), where death is confirmed after brain stem testing, still provides the majority of organs. Over the past 10 yr this type of donation has fallen by approxima...
