Описание: In response to persistent donor organ shortages, organs from marginal donors, such as expanded criteria donors (ECD) and donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors, are now accepted and have been successfully transplanted, reducing the waiting times for transplantation. Especially in Japan, transplantation of DCD kidneys has a relatively long history because of the difficulty or lack of national consensus in accepting brain death, which has made it possible to accumulate considerable clinical experience. Thus, the current organ shortage has stimulated interest in the use of marginal donors for transplantation. On the other hand, however, it is known that these organs have a high rate of delayed graft function and a more complicated postoperative course. These drawbacks have created the greatest clinical challenge in transplantation to date because of the current shortage and limitations of donors using ECD and DCD. This book, prepared by distinguished authorities in their fields, is intended for clinicians and researchers. It highlights the use of marginal donors as a comparatively novel source of transplantation organs and provides a thorough overview of marginal donors from their historical origins to recent clinical applications, including the state-of-the-art science of organ/donor management, procurement, and preservation. Also provided is valuable information on ABO-incompatible donors which extend the availability of donor sources. Each chapter offers an individual analysis of the optimal requirements for the safe management and preservation of organs, including the heart, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, and pancreatic islets.

Описание: The death 'Of a child, 'One wh'Ose vulnerability and unfilled promise c'Omp'Ounds the tragedy 'Of any death, t'Ouches us deeply. When that death 'Occurs due t'O the generally unexpected and sudden loss 'Of brain functi'On, it is particularly P'Oignant. And yet, when death c'Omes, it sh'Ould be diag- nosed expediti'Ously. The professi'Onal resP'Onsibilities 'Of the physician require that he b'Oth rec- 'Ognize brain death and inf'Orm the family 'Of its occurrence. In additi'On, since recent advances in transplantati'On provide the P'Ossibility 'Of using the 'Organs 'Of a brain-dead child t'O save the lives 'Of 'Other children, the c'Oncepts 'Of beneficence an charity further c'Ompel physicians t'O facilitate such transplantati'Ons by inf'Orming the family about this P'Ossibility. Criteria 'Of brain death have been refined 'Over about 30 years since the term coma depasse (bey'Ond c'Oma) was coined by M'Ollaret and G'Oulon in 1957 (Kaufman and Lynn, 1986). The last maj'Or criteria ev'Olved 'On a nati'Onal level were th'Ose 'Of the President's C'Ommissi'On in 1981. H'Owever, studies t'O date have c'Oncentrated 'On adults, and relatively little work has been rep'Orted ab'Out devel'Oping brain death criteria f'Or the y'Oung. Indeed, the advis'Ors t'O the President's Com- missi'On suggested that there are significant-although n'Ot well defined ifferences in the ability of the brains 'Of th'Ose under five years 'Of age t'O rec'Over from clinical states that W'Ould be accepted as indicative 'Of c'Omplete and irreversible l'OSS of brain functi'On in adults.

Описание: The first comprehensive overview of the effects of hypertension on the brain. The book discusses not only the relationship between hypertension and stroke, but also the much less studied relationship between hypertension and cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer`s.

Описание: When it appears appropriate to meet a threat with force, the passion of rage causes the release of strong spirits, whereas when avoidance appears to be the better choice, the passion of fear causes the brain to release weak spirits.
