Abstract:

An exploratory-descriptive design was used to explore and describe knowledge and perceptions about the organ donation process of persons who had consented for their relatives organs to be donated. A 19 question mailed survey was administered to 110 people who met study criteria. Descriptive methods were used to analyze the data. Less than half of the respondents had discussed organ donation previously or knew if their relative carried a donor card, they indicated that they understood the concept of brain death and its cause. These families were positive about their decision to donate and perce

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Organ transplantation is one of the best modalities for treating fatal organ failure. Despite the success of this procedure, an increasing incidence of cancer in this population has drawn the attention of public health officials in recent years. OBJECTIVES: The overall objective of this study is to conduct a detailed examination of adverse health outcomes among Canadian organ transplant recipients, with an emphasis on cancer incidence and mortality. METHODS: This project employed a retrospective cohort follow-up study design, whereby Canadian Organ Replacement Registry records wer

The inability to monitor the molecular trajectories of whole organs throughout the clinically relevant ischemic interval is a critical problem underlying the organ shortage crisis. Here, we report a novel technique for fabricating manufacturing conformal microfluidic devices for organ interface. 3D conformal printing was leveraged to engineer and fabricate novel organ-conforming microfluidic devices that endow the interface between microfluidic channels and the organ cortex.

Abstract:

Is well known that physical activity reduces rate of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in the general population and in transplanted recipients.

Additionally, the knowledge on the amount of safe training for sport competitions for this population is limited.

Organtransplantation har sedan lång tid tillbaka intresserat människan och medicinen.

Idag ger det hopp om ett nytt och fortsatt liv till ett stort antal patienter världen över. Perioden i väntan på en organtransplantation upplevs av patienterna som ett krävande och stressfullt skede som präglas av en kamp mot sjukdom och om begränsad tid.

Abstract:

Brain death is considered a major stress on the body that is associated with a massive inflammatory response or what is known as the "cytokine storm", which is characterized by the exaggerated release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This heightened inflammatory response in brain dead organ donors leads to major disturbances in glucose homeostasis resulting in insulin resistance and systemic hyperglycemia. Acute hyperglycemia is intimately related to the inflammatory response and marks an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Severe inflammation in brain dead donors can also lead to increa

Abstract:

In the healthcare system when a patient is waiting for a donated heart, the choice of the transportation method is critical. Thus, the efficiency of this procedure relies on the traveling time, which could affect the ischemic time, which is the time that heart can be discharged outside the human body. For best patient outcome, the heart has to be transplanted within four hours from the donor to the recipient. By transporting the donated heart via Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, or drone), both the time and the cost required for the heart transportation will be minimized. This thesis intends to e

Abstract:

Case reports describe significant norovirus gastroenteritis morbidity in immunocompromised patients. We evaluated norovirus pathogenesis in prospectively enrolled solid organ (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients with diarrhea who presented to Texas Children's Hospital and submitted stool for enteric testing. Noroviruses were detected by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Clinical outcomes of norovirus diarrhea and non-norovirus diarrhea patients, matched by transplanted organ type, were compared. Norovirus infection was identified in 25 (22%) of

Abstract:

During virus infections, activation of CD8 T cells takes place in secondary lymphoid organs including spleen and lymph nodes. The kinetics of the T cell response in lymphoid tissues has been clearly studied. However, a large number of virus-specific T cells disseminate into various nonlymphoid tissues. As reservoirs for effector and memory cells, nonlymphoid organs play an important role for defending against infections. T cell responses in nonlymphoid organs may differ from lymphoid organs. T cell repertoire usage in lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues was studied in an acute lymphocytic choriom

Abstract:

This work represents a significant contribution to the body of knowledge in the area of renal transplantation as it brings together the research related to policy analysis, empirical research, and cultural and religious issues related to organ donation and transplantation among South Asians in the UK. The candidate's work in this area is the first in the UK to systematically document and map a national picture of kidney transplant waiting lists and to identify and examine the complex reasons underlying how and why patient ethnicity impacts upon the likelihood of receiving a kidney transplant.

Bakgrund: Behovet av organ är större än antalet utförda transplantationer i Sverige. Att som anhörig få beskedet o m ett plötsligt dödsfall kan vara en utlösande faktor till att hamna i kris. Hur hanterar de anhöriga att ta beslut om organdonation och vilka är deras erfarenheter och upplevelser av situationen på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Syfte: Att beskriva anhörigas erfarenheter av att ta beslut om organdonation på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie genomfördes, resultatet grundas på 17 vetenskapliga artiklar varav tolv kvalitativa respektive tre kvantitativa s

Abstract:

In many applications, the dataset for classification may be highly imbalanced where most of the instances in the training set may belong to some of the classes (majority classes), while only a few instances are from the other classes (minority classes). Conventional classifiers will strongly favor the majority class and ignore the minority instances. The imbalance problem can occur in both binary data classification and also in ordinal regression. Ordinal regression is a supervised approach for learning the ordinal relationship between classes. Extensive research has been performed for address
