Abstract:
In this era of great health challenges, organ donation may be the only intervention to failing and failed organs. Organ donation is willingly accepting to donate an organ or part of an organ to someone with a failing organ or failed organ. There are very few voluntary donations. Cadavers a major tool in the study of anatomy is gotten through unclaimed bodies, corpse from condemned criminals and donation of corpse for teaching and research. This cross sectional survey includes 707 students, 390 dissecting students and 317 non dissecting students from the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, Delta State University Abraka. Structured questionnaires were administered to the student and date analysed. This was done to know the perception of student to organ and corpse donation and to assess if dissection affects the willingness to donate one’s organ or corpse for research. Result generally showed a negative attitude to organ and corpse donation. Only 5.9% considered donating their organs and 4.1% considered donating their corpse for research. The poor attitude towards organ and body donation may be attributed to people not wanting their body to be disrespected (30%), fear of the effect of donation (23%), religious beliefs (10%), and traditional beliefs (6%). Surprisingly lack of awareness to donation of organs and corpse accounted for a few percentages.

Abstract:
We examine how presentations of organ donation cases in the media may affect people's willingness to sign organ donation commitment cards, donate the organs of a deceased relative, support the transition to an “opt-out” policy, or donate a kidney while alive. We found that providing identifying information about the prospective recipient (whose life was saved by the donation) increased the participants’ willingness to commit to organ donation themselves, donate the organs of a deceased relative, or support a transition to an “opt-out” policy. Conversely, identifying the deceased donor tended to induce thoughts of death rather than about saving lives, resulting in fewer participants willing to donate organs or support measures that facilitated organ donation. A study of online news revealed that identification of the donor is significantly more common than identification of the recipient in the coverage of organ donation cases—with possibly adverse effects on the incidence of organ donations.

Abstract:
Previous research has established that organ procurement professionals who talk with families about donation have strong personal preferences concerning the donation of specific organs and tissues. This study examines possible reasons for such preferences and compares them with those of hospital personnel who talk with families about donation. The findings suggest that preferences among procurement personnel closely resemble those of hospital personnel, but procurement professionals' reasons reflect a slightly higher rate of self-interest. Aversions among procurement personnel differ from those of hospital personnel. Procurement personnel have fewer aversions to donating eyes and skin and more aversions to bone, and their aversions are more likely to reflect professional experience with particular donations. The findings suggest the need for changes both in the way donation options are offered to families and the way hospital and procurement personnel are educated.

Abstract:
Despite the increase in demand for organs, the number of organ donations has remained relatively static; this is concerning as the comparatively low rate of consent for organ donation in the UK is the greatest factor limiting transplantation ( Vincent and Logan, 2012 ). All health professionals, including health visitors, should be aware of new legislation surrounding organ donation so they can provide advice and refer those requiring further information to the NHS Blood and Transplant service.

Organ transplantation and organ donation is an important issue today. It was implemented in different ways. The medical field offers new methods of treatment, including organ transplantation and human services. This is one of the most difficult and complex aspects of modern medicine. It is a surgical replacement of diseased organ by another healthy human organ. It was implemented in different ways. Donation and organ transplantation are important issue of today. The medical field offers new methods of treatment, including organ transplantation and human services. Researchers have been trying to expand stem cells to other organs and are experimenting with alternatives to human blood. Organ Transplantation and donations are performed under the supervision of a competent transplant team.

Abstract:
Kidney chains are a recent and novel method of increasing the number of available kidneys for transplantation and have the potential to save thousands of lives. However, because they are novel, kidney chains do not fit neatly within existing legal and ethical frameworks, raising potential barriers to their full implementation.Kidney chains are an extension of paired kidney donation, which began in the United States in 2000. Paired kidney donations allow kidney patients with willing, but incompatible, donors to swap donors to increase the number of donor/recipient pairs and consequently, the number of transplants. More recently, transplant centers have been using non-simultaneous, extended, altruistic donor (“NEAD”) kidney chains—which consist of a sequence of donations by incompatible donors—to further expand the number of donations. This Article fully explains paired kidney donation and kidney chains and focuses on whether NEAD chains are more coercive than traditional kidney donation to a family member or close friend and whether NEAD chains violate the National Organ Transplant Act's prohibition on the transfer of organs for valuable consideration.

Abstract:
The stance on solid organ donations in England has changed. In March 2019, the Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Act became law, with roll-out delayed until spring 2020. It introduces an ‘opt-out’ system, which assumes every adult has agreed to donate their organs unless they register not to do so, amending the previous ‘opt-in’ approach. The RCGP and General Medical Council have long emphasised that doctors be cognisant of the organ donation process and relevant legislation. This paper summarises the rationale behind the Act’s introduction, outlines its provisions, identifies some criticisms, and stresses the importance of raising awareness.

Abstract:
In August 2000, Arthur Matas and his colleagues de scribed a protocol in which their institution began to accept as potential donors, individuals who came to the University of Minnesota hospital offering to donate a kidney to any patient on the waiting list. Matas and his colleagues refer to these donors as nondirected donors by which is meant that the donors are altruistic and that they give their organs to an unspecified pool of recipients with whom they have no emotional relationship. This paper represents an ethical and policy critique of the nondirected donation protocol that was implemented at the University of Minnesota in August 1999. Specifically, I address the ethical questions: Whether altruistic living solid organ donations by strangers (nondirected donations) should be permitted? And if so, What are appropriate ethical guidelines for such donations?

Abstract:
Organ donations from deceased donors provide the majority of transplanted organs in the United States, and one deceased donor can save numerous lives by providing multiple organs. Nevertheless, most Americans are not registered organ donors despite the relative ease of becoming one. We study in the laboratory an experimental game modeled on the decision to register as an organ donor and investigate how changes in the management of organ waiting lists might impact donations. We find that an organ allocation policy giving priority on waiting lists to those who previously registered as donors has a significant positive impact on registration. (JEL C91, D64, I11)

Abstract:
There’s a wide spread cry for the organs across the world. Needy people are dying because of the lack of availability of the tissues/organs because of the fact that there’s a strong mismatch between the donors and recipients. When compared with other countries India stands at bottom in organ donation with a rate of only 0.16 donors per million. Growing population, impending disorders and an inadequacy in donations can disrupt the hopes of live. Global statistics too aren’t up to the mark. There requires a tremendous amount of knowledge and awareness regarding the same among the public to raise the bars and improve the quality of life by enhancing the availability.

Abstract:
This dissertation consists of three chapters that focus on topics in fields of experimental economics and health economics. The first chapter, “Do I Care if You Know I Betrayed You?” , examines how concern for others’ disutility from betrayal can affect the decision to repay trust in the trust game. We use a laboratory experiment to compare trustees’ behavior when betrayal is obfuscated to an identical monetary payoffs situation where betrayal is revealed. We find that more trustees choose to defect in our experiment when betrayal is obfuscated than when it is revealed. Our result suggests that concern for betrayal costs influences not only the decision to trust but also the decision to repay trust. The second chapter, “Increasing Organ Donation via Changes in the Default Choice or Allocation Rule”, utilizes a laboratory experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative public policies targeted at increasing the rate of deceased donor organ donation. The experiment includes treatments across different default choices and organ allocation rules inspired by the donor registration systems applied in different countries. Our results indicate that the opt-out with priority rule system generates the largest increase in organ donation relative to an opt-in only program. However, sizeable gains are achievable using either a priority rule or opt-out program separately, with the opt-out rule generating approximately 80% of the benefits achieved under a priority rule program. The third chapter, “Improving the Approach to Organ Donor Registration”, proposes to improve organ donor registry by providing a persuasive message with the registration request. I designed a laboratory experiment to examine the impact of the persuasive message on donation decisions. The results indicate that the persuasive message has a positive impact on donation decisions in the early rounds of the experiment. Subjects were about 21 percent more likely to register as a donor in round 1 of the experiment when they were provided with a persuasive message. This behavioral difference across treatment decreased as subjects played more rounds, since subjects in the control treatment learned the information in the persuasive message through playing the game. We further find this treatment effect is mainly from subjects who are not organ donors in real life, while the treatment effect is very small for those who are self-reported organ donors.

Abstract:
Objective. To evaluate organ donation (OD) policy, appropriate comparisons between different OD programs are required. The objective of this research was to investigate alternative methods of measuring national rates of OD using publicly available data and examine the implications of using each method as a measure of performance.
Method. We used 7 measures to calculate deceased OD rates, based on 7 different denominators. Data were collected from OD organizations and the World Health Organization. OD rates for each measure were calculated for 10 countries for the years 2001--2004. Relative rates were calculated using Spain as the standard.
Results. We found variations in relative rates across the proposed measures. Regardless of the measure used Spain excelled.
Conclusion. If the purpose of the OD rate is to identify the top performer internationally, it may not matter which measure is used providing this is done with an understanding of its limitations.

1. HIPÒTESI La tendència en l’evolució de qualsevol procés mèdic és cap a la reducció de la morbiditat dels pacients mantenint un mateix efecte terapèutic. En el camp de la cirurgia això es tradueix en una tendència a realitzar qualsevol procediment quirúrgic amb el mínim nombre i mida d’incisions per tal de reduir al màxim la morbiditat i millorar l’estètica del pacient. Amb la implementació de la laparoscòpia s’ha obtingut una gran reducció de l’agressivitat dels procediments quirúrgics, i, molt probablement, amb les noves tècniques quirúrgiques mínimament invasives (NOTES i el LESS) podrem millorar encara més aquests resultats. La nostra hipòtesi és que l’aplicació de la cirurgia NOTES híbrida a la nefrectomia per tumor renal i de donant viu ens permetrà obtenir els mateixos resultats oncològics i de funció de l’empelt renal, disminuint la morbiditat i millorant l’estètica sense causar cap efecte negatiu en l’esfera sexual d’aquestes dones. 2. OBJECTIUS L’objectiu principal d’aquest treball és descriure el desenvolupament de la tècnica quirúrgica de la cirurgia NOTES híbrida en nefrectomies radicals i de donant viu i avaluar la viabilitat i els resultats obtinguts. Els objectius específics són: * Valorar els resultats post-quirúrgics de la nefrectomia NOTES híbrida en pacients sotmeses a nefrectomia radical i/o simple. * Valorar els resultats post-quirúrgics de la nefrectomia de donant viu NOTES híbrida. * Comparar els resultats intra- i postoperatoris de la nefrectomia de donant viu NOTES híbrida respecte la nefrectomia de donant viu realitzada per laparoscòpia convencional. * Valorar l’efecte de la nefrectomia NOTES híbrida sobre la funció sexual.

Abstract:
Els donants a cor parat (OCP) són aquells que es troben en procés d'aturada cardiorespiratòria irrecuperable, amb un temps d'isquèmia calenta suficientment reduït que permeti l'extracció d'òrgans i teixits aptes per a trasplantament. Entenem per temps d'isquèmia calenta el temps transcorregut des del moment de l'aturada cardiocirculatòria fins a Ia perfusió de l'òrgan. El procediment d'obtenció d'òrgans OCP s'inicia un cop diagnosticada Ia mort per aturada cardiorespiratòria, moment en el qual es considera el cadàver com a donant potencial. Aleshores es valora el temps d 'isquèmia calenta i es du a terme Ia cateterització de l'artèria i vena femoral per poder iniciar Ia preservació dels òrgans. En el cas concret dels ronyons, originalment la perfusió s'assolia mitjançant la injecció de líquid fred a travès de l'artèria femoral (perfusió in situ), amb l'objectiu de disminuir-ne ràpidament Ia temperatura i limitar el metabolisme cel·lular i el dany provocat per Ia isquèmia calenta. Posteriorment s'han anat dissenyant tècniques per a Ia perfusió dels òrgans de DCP amb sistemes de derivació cardiopulmonar. S'ha assajat favorablement un procediment consistent en el refredament corporal amb circulació extracorpòria, que entre d'altres avantatges permet una hipotèrmia més suau i progressiva, amb una pressió de perfusió més elevada, cosa que és important per poder valorar la viabilitat de l'ús dels òrgans obtinguts per a trasplantaments. Per altra banda, el problema més important per Ia utilització dels òrgans de DCP és una major incidència de retard del funcionament i de fallada primària de l'empelt. En el cas del trasplantment renal, la disfunció inicial pot ser substituïda per Ia diàlisi fins que l'òrgan o bé recupera Ia funció o bé es practica un altre trasplantament. Per contra, el trasplantarnent hepàtic ha d'assegurar de manera immediata Ia funcionalitat de l'òrgan, perquè no es disposa de cap teràpia substitutiva. Es per això que els estudis que s'estan realitzant actualment van adreçats a valorar Ia viabilitat del fetge abans del trasplantament i a millorar-ne Ia funció mitjançant Ia modificació de les tècniques d'obtenció i preservació dels empelts fins al trasplantament.

Abstract:
General Abstract Objective: In April 2006, the Scottish Liver Transplant Unit (SLTU) became the first NHS transplant unit in the UK to offer the option of Living Donor Liver Transplantation (LDLT). This represented a unique opportunity to evaluate the functional and psychosocial impact of LDLT upon healthy donors and their recipients. Subsequent aims were to investigate the challenge of introducing LDLT in Scotland and to establish the perceived deterrents and attractions of the procedure. An additional aim was to evaluate the impact of Living Donor Kidney Transplantation (LDKT) upon donors and recipients. Design: A series of cross sectional and longitudinal studies were designed for the purpose of this thesis (3 quantitative, 2 qualitative, and 1 mixed methods). Method: Self report questionnaires were used in each of the quantitative studies, with the addition of neuropsychological computerized tests in two studies. Semi-structured interviews were employed in the qualitative studies. Main Findings: •Prior to its introduction general support for the option of LDLT was found, although it was highlighted that the risk involved was not well understood by the general public. •Since becoming available LDLT has not been a readily acceptable treatment option from the perspective of patients due to the perceived risk for the donor, but it may be considered as a “last option”. Family members were motivated to save their loved one’s life but the personal implications of donating resulted in reconsideration of LDLT. • Staff at the SLTU perceived a lack of family commitment in relation to LDLT, which is explained as a cultural factor contributing to the slow uptake of LDLT. In Scotland, a donation from a younger to an older generation is not easily accepted. This, in addition to patients’ optimism that a deceased donation will arrive, and the poor health of potential donors, is thought to have affected the uptake of LDLT. As has the unit’s conservative approach to the promotion of LDLT. This approach is the result of a perceived reduction in the need for LDLT and a preference to avoid the risk to a healthy donor and conduct transplants with deceased donations. • In over 3 years, only one couple completed LDLT. The recipient showed functional and psychosocial improvement from pre to post procedure, whilst the donor showed slight deterioration in aspects of quality of life 6 weeks post donation, which did not always completely return to a baseline level by 6 months. The donor made sacrifices to provide her husband with a fresh start to life and unmet expectations were found to effect quality of life. •Willingness to become a liver donor is not thought to be influenced by the frame of the information provided. •Like the LDLT donor, LDKT donors experience some functional and psychosocial deterioration at 6 weeks post donation, but donors largely recover by 6 months post donation. However, the anticipated benefit to recipients was not evident and may not be quantifiable until after 6 months post operation. Conclusion: This thesis has added to current knowledge on living organ donation and specifically represents the first psychological evaluation of a UK LDLT programme. The slow uptake of LDLT was unexpected and has resulted in informative, novel research.

Abstract:
Hundreds of Canadians die each year while awaiting a vital organ transplant. Consistent with several countries in the world, the demand for organs for transplantation outweighs the supply. In Canada, citizens must actively register to enlist themselves as organ donors after death occurs. The aim of this thesis was to examine and evaluate the acceptability of an emergency department-based organ donation registration strategy. Secondarily, we identified the proportion of emergency physicians, nurses and clerks who are personally registered as organ donors. We conducted three self-administered surveys as well as an a priori sub-study to evaluate the effect of a prenotification letter on postal surveys of physicians. We discovered that key stakeholders in emergency departments are engaged in organ donation and feel that the emergency department is an acceptable place to promote organ donation registration. In addition, we identified several barriers to such a potential intervention which largely revolve around time and resource limitations.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the opinions and attitudes of health care (pre-registered nurses, post-registered nurses and medical students) and non-health related students (computing students) to determine the factors that influence their support of the organ donation and transplantation system and the factors that influence their willingness to register consent as an eye (cornea) donor. The research study was conducted in two separate but related stages. The use of a quantitative questionnaire was employed to investigate the opinions and attitudes of pre-registered nurses towards organ donation and to determine whether any regional variation exists (n = 667); to determine whether the opinions and attitudes of pre- registered nurses (n = 667) differ among post-registered nurses (n= 62), medical students (n = 55) and computing students (n = 102); and to determine whether the opinions and attitudes of pre-registered nurses change with further education on organ donation (n = 100). Generally speaking, the findings demonstrate that opinions and attitudes differ depending upon the region sampled, the student's background and their level of exposure to further education. The second stage comprised of a qualitative questionnaire that identified commonly held beliefs about the advantages and disadvantages, those people who would approve and disapprove, and motivating factors and barriers that relate to registering consent as an eye (cornea) donor among pre-registered nurses based in Northern Ireland (n = 38). A theory of planned behaviour framework guided the investigation into the identification of factors that influence registering consent to donate eyes (cornea) among pre-registered nurses based in Northern Ireland (n = 92). The results provide support for the theory of planned behaviour and demonstrate that attitude was the strongest predictor of intention to register consent, with the predictive ability of subjective norm and perceived behavioural control varying depending upon the TPB model used. The research study presents six findings overall and demonstrates the complex issues that exist with regard to the reasons for registering as an organ-tissue donor and the reasons why people are only willing to donate specific body parts and not others. These findings will help in the development of effective future interventions that are designed to change and guide performance of the behaviour and ultimately increase participation in organ donation by encouraging competent decision making.

Abstract:
Organ transplantation, as an extremely demanding, but impоrtant medical intervention, has always provided significant scope for opposing different legal and ethical principles. That scope is being expanded by considering the possibility that a sensitive category of persons, such as minors, may appear in the role of donor. While transplantation of organs from living minors is prohibited for the above reasons, cadaveric transplantation of organs from deceased children is legal in the law of the Republic of Serbia. This paper analyzes precisely such legally regulated organ donation, which implies the possibility of the appearance of a deceased minor as a donor. While, on the one hand, there is a growing need to take organs from children in order to transplant them and preserve the life of another child of appropriate age, such a decision has a significant emotional impact, above all, on the parents of the child. Keeping in mind that parents appear as the only authorized holders of the right to decide on the transplantation of an organ of a deceased minor, it is necessary to analyze the legal nature of the rights they have on the body and organs of the child. Also, it is necessary to point out the importance of more precise legal regulation of the conditions under which such transplantation can be performed, as well as the necessity of ensuring the autonomy of the will of the minor in terms of organ donation, which he could achieve for life.

Abstract:
A kidney exchange is a centrally-administered barter market where patients swap their willing yet incompatible donors. Modern kidney exchanges use 2-cycles, 3-cycles, and chains initiated by non-directed donors (altruists who are willing to give a kidney to anyone) as the means for swapping. We propose significant generalizations to kidney exchange. We allow more than one donor to donate in exchange for their desired patient receiving a kidney. We also allow for the possibility of a donor willing to donate if any of a number of patients receive kidneys. Furthermore, we combine these notions and generalize them. The generalization is to exchange among organ clubs, where a club is willing to donate organs outside the club if and only if the club receives organs from outside the club according to given specifications. We prove that unlike in the standard model, the uncapped clearing problem is NP-complete. We also present the notion of operation frames that can be used to sequence the operations across batches, and present integer programming formulations for the market clearing problems for these new types of organ exchanges. Experiments show that in the single-donation setting, operation frames improve planning by 34% - 51%. Allowing up to two donors to donate in exchange for one kidney donated to their designated patient yields a further increase in social welfare.

Abstract:
Matching donations from deceased patients to patients on the waiting list account for over 85\% of all kidney transplants performed in Australia. We propose a simple mechanisms to perform this matching and compare this new mechanism with the more complex algorithm currently under consideration by the Organ and Tissue Authority in Australia. We perform a number of experiments using real world data provided by the Organ and Tissue Authority of Australia. We find that our simple mechanism is more efficient and fairer in practice compared to the other mechanism currently under consideration.
