OBJECTIVE To evaluate the viability of a professional specialist in intra-hospital committees of organ and tissue donation for transplantation.METHODS Epidemiological, retrospective and cross-sectional study (2003-2011 and 2008-2012), which was performed using organ donation for transplants data in the state of Sao Paulo, Southeastern Brazil. Nine hospitals were evaluated (hospitals 1 to 9). Lo...

Severe hepatic failure accounts for many deaths and raises medical costs each year worldwide. Currently, liver transplantation is the most common therapeutic option for patients with end-stage chronic liver disease. Due to decrease in the number of organ donors, many in need of transplantation continue to remain on the waiting list. Hepatic Tissue Engineering is a step toward alleviating the ne...

Tectal tissue was removed from rats at embryonic ages (E) E15, E18, E20 and postnatal day 0 (P0) and grafted onto the midbrain of newborn host rats. Six to 24 weeks after transplantation we examined 1) the growth characteristics of the grafts, 2) their morphology and 3) the pattern of retinal innervation of the grafted tissue. Graft survival was markedly affected by donor age. Transplants from ...

In this study, we reviewed the prevalence rate and the trends of three main infections in whole blood donations and strategies for improving blood safety in Yazd blood transfusion center, Iran. Materials and Methods In this cross sectional study, data on hepatitis B, C and ...

Relevance . The United States of America is currently one the world leaders in organ donation and transplantation. In 2020, donor activity amounted to 38.0 per 1 million population, even exceeding number Spain 37.9 population. this context, study American system transplantation order develop an accessible format for interaction with population strategically stimulate potential particular intere...

BACKGROUND Allograft tissue remains a valuable alternative for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. No study to date has correlated the effect of donor age to bone mineral density (BMD) in a large series of irradiated bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) allograft tissue. Hypothesis/ PURPOSE The authors attempted to correlate donor age with BMD in a large group of BPTB allograft specimens t...

Metabolic remodeling has been known to play an important role in the development of atrial fibrillation(AF). Recent studies have shown prominent mitochondrial metabolic changes atrium, which significant impact on electrical signaling and structural atrium. However, there is limited data AF from multi-omics analysis human myocardial tissue. In addition, metabolism-related hub gene pathways are n...

Background and Aims: This study aims to identify the level of motivation among blood donors and their intention to donate again and suggest remedial measures to rectify de-motivating influences. Materials and Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was distributed among donors to collect data on variables related to the objective. Results: Most donors were men aged 18-24 years, graduates, ...
