Nova Science Publishers Inc Organ Donation & Organ Donors: Issues, Challenges
Book SynopsisClinical transplantation is still in the infancy stage with less than 60 years history. Despite recent successes, there are still several unresolved problems. This book tries to tackle some of these problems such as organ shortage, live donation, expanding the donor pool, ethical and legal issues regarding brain death concepts, the consent for donation process, and the use of human tissue for transplantation. The diversity of authors with different backgrounds such as physicians, philosophers, and ethicists, makes this book unique. The book tries to comprehensively discuss different issues from different angles that transplantation faces today. This book has 12 chapters discussing a wide variety of topics related to organ donors and donation.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Organ Donation & Transplantation: An
Book SynopsisThis book brings together researchers from three different continents who present different perspectives on the complex issue of organ donation. Several important authors have contributed to this edited book on organ donation discussing the phenomenon from different aspects, particularly the psychological, medico-legal, religious and communications perspectives. Some of the authors have not only studied these questions academically, but they themselves are live organ donors or organ recipients as well. The chapters by Cole, Camilleri-Zahra, Schweda and Wolhke, Siegel, Anker and Jansen give importance to the voice of organ donors, recipients and their families. They discuss the dilemmas which donors, recipients and their families face when they come to learn that a family member needs an organ transplant, and the subsequent difficult decisions that have to be made by the recipients, possible donors and family members. The phases before and after the donation of organs are as important as the donation itself. Fear, guilt and other strong emotions are intrinsic to the donation process both in live donation as well as in cadaveric donation. The psychological and health challenges presented by organ donation, discussed by Lauri, Maloney, Walker and Charlton, Shanteau and Hyde, are compounded by legal, religious and cultural issues, which will also be discussed in different chapters of the book by Ellul, Borg and Reinhart. Finally, the chapters by Alvaro, Feeley and Yang discuss how the media can influence and inform public attitudes towards organ donation and discuss how it can help increase the number of organ donors. This book is meant for those who, in some way, come in contact with people who need an organ transplant and those who have to help people come to reach informed decisions.

Imperial College Press Corneal Transplantation: An Immunological Guide
Book SynopsisThis book provides a summary of the various aspects of corneal transplantation — the clinical, experimental (including multimedia display of the surgical techniques), immunological, therapeutic and prosthetic components — in one volume. The interested specialist in one field can thus have access to information from the other fields and develop a broad concept of the challenges to be faced in achieving the ultimate goal, i.e. an optically clear, visually satisfactory, functioning corneal graft which is tolerated in the long term without the need for systemic immunosuppression. A second purpose of the book is to provide information regarding current immunological concepts of the process of corneal graft rejection. In particular, recent work in the fields of innate versus adaptive immunity, novel therapeutics and corneal xenografts is presented.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Clinical Guide to Transplantation in Lymphoma
Book SynopsisA clinical guide to transplantation in lymphoma to present advanced knowledge on how to integrate, transplantat and other novel therapies in patients with lymphoid malignancies. It provides practical management guidance on how to integrate, transplant and other novel therapies in patients with lymphoid malignancies.Trade ReviewSir William Osler is reputed to have said, “Listen to the patient and he will give you the answer.” Had he been alive now and practicing transplantation for lymphoma, he could have well said “Read the Clinical Guide to Transplantation in Lymphoma and it will give you the answer.” These reviewers are very impressed by the breadth and scope of this book edited by Drs. Bipin Savani and Mohamed Mohty, ably aided by an array of expert contributors from all over the world.Clinical Guide to Transplantation in Lymphoma is extremely easy to read and very well written. In this era ofexponential information growth this book is surprisingly current, with the latest references. It has an ambitious scope, setting out to cover all aspects of transplantation in lymphoma and managing to meet that expectation.Chapters are laid out in logical sequence divided into 2 sections. Section 1 is particularly interesting and haschapters on the historical perspective of transplantation for lymphoma, transplant data collection and reporting, and analytical methods. The remainder of section 1 describes the general principles of transplantation in lymphomas, addressing issues such as mobilization, preparative regimens, and management of the early, late, and long-term issues arising after transplantation. Some chapters include transplantation for lymphoma in children, adults, and young adolescents; pretransplant evaluation; preparative regimens for autologous and allogeneic transplants; stem cell mobilization and stem cell source; post-transplant follow-up for autologousand allogeneic transplant, and a novel chapter, “First 100 Days of the Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Process in Lymphoma.” The chapters in section 1 are broadly applicable and would prove invaluable to trainees pursuing fellowships in hematopoietic cell transplantation.Section 2 is laid out as a chapter by chapter discussion of various lymphoma histologies and the applicability of hematopoietic cell transplantation in each. One can return to some of these chapters again and again because all common and most rare lymphoma subtypes (including HIV-associated lymphoma) are discussed in excellent detail. We found each one of these chapters to be remarkably up to date. In a field such ashematopoietic cell transplantation,where there is considerable ambiguity and few randomized studies, the authors and editors have maintained a neutral and unbiased tone,discussing the available data andguidelines exhaustively.Very few similar textbooks focus on transplantation in a disease group. Clinical Guide to Transplantation in Lymphoma is concise enough, practical, and clinically oriented to be considered a practical manual but at the same time manages to be comprehensive. Some unique features in this book are the numerous excellent graphs and tables and the discussion of case studies and clinical guidelines (United States and European) wherever applicable. We found very few typographic errors. For future editions we recommend at least 1 chapter devoted to the emerging field of cellular immunotherapy.The editors and the contributors need to be congratulated for an encyclopedic work that still manages to be a ready reference guide. This book will be used extensively and should be in the library of every transplanter.We hope it runs into many future editions and becomes the authoritative textbook for transplantation in lymphoma.

Lexington Books Organ Donation in Japan
Book SynopsisOrgan Donation in Japan: A Medical Anthropological Study by Maria-Keiko Yasuoka reveals insight into Japan as the country with the most severe organ shortages and the lowest numbers of organ donations among medically advanced countries. The history of organ transplantation in Japan is a unique and troubled one. Many academic hypotheses such as cultural barriers, the Japanese concept of the dead body, traditional beliefs, and so on have been advanced to explain the situation. However, little research has yet revealed the truth behind the world of Japanese organ transplantation. Yasuoka conducts direct interview research with Japanese concerned parties in regards to organ transplantation (including transplant surgeons, recipients, and donor families). In this book, she analyzes their narrative responses, considering their distinctive ideas, interpretations, and dilemmas, and sheds light on the real reasons behind the issues. Organ Donation in Japan is the first book to delve into the chaTrade ReviewOrgan Donation in Japan offers an accessible first attempt of understanding the complexities surrounding organ donation. Building from this book, scholars can expand accounts, refine meanings and increase capacity in a much-needed area. * Centre for Medical Humanities *Yasuoka’s thoughtful study traces the bumpy road to successful organ transplantation in Japan, where cadaveric (brain dead) donation, though legal, has continued to generate widespread suspicion and resistance for over three decades. An engrossing and accessible account, this work carefully probes professional and lay parties’ personal narratives, an approach that offers new insights into this persistent medical conundrum. -- Lesley A. Sharp, Barnard College; Columbia UniversityNot since the 2001 publication of Margaret Lock’s Twice Dead have we been able to follow the emerging story of organ transplantation in Japan. Japanese medical anthropologist Maria Yasuoka thus offers us a timely and sensitive ethnographic portrayal of the hopes, realities, and ongoing challenges faced by Japanese transplant surgeons, organ recipients, and donor families. Foregrounding the narratives of these various parties, Organ Donation in Japan represents a major contribution to medical anthropology, bioethics, and Asian studies. -- Marcia Inhorn, Yale UniversityJapanese medical systems have been reluctant to procure organs from brain-dead donors whose hearts continue to beat with the aid of ventilators. Yasuoka’s study provides a fascinating account of the stories of the few Japanese donor families and organ recipients, as well as of the transplant surgeons, and coordinators who take part in this controversial practice. Yasuoka’s writing is sensitive to an emerging medical field that has been racked with public debate, scandal, malpractice, medical mistrust, organ tourism, tragic and sudden deaths, as well as moments of intense generosity and sacrifice moved by the promise of saving lives. -- Sherine Hamdy, Brown UniversityTable of ContentsList of Figures Acknowledgements Chapter 1 Narratives of Transplant Surgeons and Coordinators Chapter 2 Narratives of Recipients Chapter 3 Narratives of Donor Families Chapter 4 The Buds of Interrelationships among Concerned Parties Chapter 5 Transforming Concepts of Life Conclusion Rebirthable Life Afterword My Father’s Funeral in Japan, August 2014 Appendix Japanese Organ Transplantation Law Bibliography About the Author

Nova Science Publishers Inc Kidney Transplantation: Efficacy, Safety and
Book SynopsisKidney transplantation is a medical procedure performed on patients with end-stage kidney disease that can increase their life expectancy by several years. However, the procedure involves some risk and potential complications. Chapter One of this monograph summarises the current strategy for diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease-associated mineral bone disease (CKD-MBD) in kidney transplant recipients and aims to demonstrate the latest findings and therapeutic options in the field beyond recent published guidelines. Chapter Two describes the necessity of involving a psychiatrist in the transplant team to facilitate positive outcomes in kidney transplants, as psychological factors can contribute to treatment non-compliance and other issues. Chapter Three defines the surgical techniques used in living donor nephrectomy, discusses the use and reliability of these techniques in different patient groups, and examines the long-term follow-up results of donors and recipients. Lastly, Chapter Four discusses the variables involved in treating patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPCKD), whose enlarged and deformed kidneys can complicate kidney transplantation.Table of ContentsPreface; Calcium Phosphorus Metabolism and Mineral Bone Disease after Kidney Transplantation; Psychosocial Assessment of the Live Kidney Donor and Recipient; Donor Nephrectomy Techniques; Nephrectomy Timing for Polycystic Kidneys in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients Listed for Transplantation; Index.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Standardization of Donor-Recipient Matching in
Book SynopsisThe progress in HLA research achieved in the last decade has been extremely beneficial for understanding of the human genome structure, evolution of human beings and the association between HLA and complex related factors like immune responsiveness and patomechanism of some diseases. It was also found that some HLA specificities may bear a witness not only to a susceptibility to some diseases but also may reflect the ability of the host to mount immune responsiveness. All these achievements enabled successful clinical application of haematopoietic stem cells transplantation. Nowadays, it is apparent that the perfect matching at allele level of HLA specificities constitute the most important factor affecting surviving of patients transplanted from unrelated donors. This is also shown in this volume. To secure reliability of HLA typing , DNA techniques should be implemented and laboratories should comply with requirements expressed by European Federation for Immunogenetics (EFI) and American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI). HLA typing is a complex procedure which should involve internal and external quality controls. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation may be the best example of introducing modern technologies and very active translation of basic research in the fields of genetics and cell biology into the clinic. Even more impressive is international collaboration in searching for the best possible donor wherever in the world it might be. More than 8 million donors are registered world-wide. There is an ongoing interest in improving the international co-operation in order to secure the best donors for recipients. These chapters are of special interest as the co-operation for donors selection for HSCT is an activity across the oceans.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Bone Marrow Transplantation: New Research
Book SynopsisBlood and Marrow Transplantation (BMT) has evolved over the past 20 years into a successful therapy for a variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases. BMT allows for safer use of very high doses of radiotherapy and/or combination chemotherapy and can also allow for immunomodulation. The bone marrow -- the sponge-like tissue found in the centre of certain bones-contains stem cells that are the precursors of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. These blood cells are vital for normal body functions, such as oxygen transport, defence against infection and disease, and clotting. Blood cells have a limited lifespan and are constantly being replaced; therefore, healthy stem cells are vital. In association with certain diseases, stem cells may produce too many, too few, or otherwise abnormal blood cells. Also, medical treatments may destroy stem cells or alter blood cell production. The resultant blood cell abnormalities can be life threatening. Bone marrow transplantation involves extracting bone marrow containing normal stem cells from a healthy donor, and transferring it to a recipient whose body cannot manufacture proper quantities of normal blood cells. The goal of the transplant is to rebuild the recipient''s blood cells and immune system and hopefully cure the underlying ailment. This book presents the latest research in this rapidly-growing field.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Organ Donation: Supply, Policies & Practices
Book SynopsisThe issue of living organ donation is important because it represents one important set of possibilities for balancing the needs of people seeking organs with one another, and with the needs of potential organ donors. On one side of the balance, the drive to increase the supply of transplantable organs is fueled by people awaiting organ transplants. They are, in a sense, competing with one another on waiting lists for potentially life-saving scarce resources. On the other side of the balance, the drive to ensure that the transplant system is ethical and equitable precludes some mechanisms that would increase the supply of transplantable organs. Some options that have been rejected to date in the United States include paying healthy persons to donate their organs, and mandating that transplantable organs be harvested from all cadavers. To maintain the most ideal balance for the organ transplantation system, Congress may now wish to clarify whether certain new types of living organ donation should be adopted to increase the supply of transplantable organs, or prohibited for ethical and/or equitable reasons.

University of Utah Press,U.S. True Valor: Barney Clark and the Utah Artificial
Book SynopsisOn December 2, 1982, the fully mechanical Jarvik-7 heart was placed inside Barney Clark’s chest, culminating years of painstaking research and making medical history by successfully pumping Clark’s blood for 112 days. True Valor takes an in-depth look at this significant event, telling the stories of the doctors and researchers involved, of Barney Clark, and of the evolution of the artificial heart before and after Clark’s transplant. Author Don Olsen is well positioned to tell this story, having worked on the artificial heart project under Dr. William Kolff, the man who designed the Jarvik-7. His narrative conveys the concerns and emotions of those who were part of Clark’s story while offering the insights of one who knows that research does not happen overnight but takes time, resources, and the efforts of many people. Olsen’s account shares the human sides of this story along with the embedded politics and technical details of medical research in clear, readable language.Trade Review“Dr. Barney B. Clark . . . was ‘an incredible man, one of the strongest men I have ever known, one of the strongest families I have ever known. He did a service to mankind and the knowledge that we will gain from him will serve us all.’” —hospital spokesman John Dwan announcing the death of Barney Clark; quoted in the New York Times, March 24, 1983 "Dr. Barney Clark may have seemed quite ordinary, but he did extraordinary things. The happy portions of human history are so often created by seemingly ordinary men and women doing extraordinary things to benefit others; Dr. Barney belonged to that happy tradition." —from the funeral oration by Neal A. Maxwell, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints “An enticing read… Olsen tells a tale of 'pioneering science,' drawing from University of Utah records as well as his own personal papers, to narrate a story of research perseverance, overcoming challenges, and the advancement of a life-saving technology.”—Journal of the History of Medicine

Book SynopsisIn Replacement Parts, internationally recognized bioethicist Arthur L. Caplan and coeditors James J. McCartney and Daniel P. Reid assemble seminal writings from medicine, philosophy, economics, and religion that address the ethical challenges raised by organ transplantation. Caplan's new lead essay explains the shortfalls of present policies. From there, book sections take an interdisciplinary approach to fundamental issues like the determination of death and the dead donor rule; the divisive case of using anencephalic infants as organ donors; the sale of cadaveric or live organs; possible strategies for increasing the number of available organs, including market solutions and the idea of presumed consent; and questions surrounding transplant tourism and "gaming the system" by using the media to gain access to organs.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Kidney Transplantation: Lowering Barriers &
Book SynopsisDespite significant accomplishments to date, kidney transplantation is a relatively young field in medicine. The shortage of deceased donor organs available for transplantation has led to the need to identify novel strategies to increase the organ donor pool. Due to the armamentarium of agents available to effectively suppress the immune system, the past decade has seen a shift in focus from prevention of rejection to a focus on extending the life of the allograft, with much focus on developing agents and immunosuppression combinations that are less toxic to the transplanted kidney. These concepts provide the framework for this textbook. For the first time in years, agents with novel mechanisms of action are beginning to come to market for use in kidney transplantation, and novel concepts to increase both deceased and living donor organ availability have been adapted by progressive transplant centers. Within the field of living donation, kidney paired donation and single site laparoendoscopic donor nephrectomy are important methods of increasing access to living donor transplantation. Utilization of expanded criteria, donation after cardiac death, hepatitis C positive, and pediatric donor organs are discussed as methods to increase deceased donor transplant opportunities for the over 90,000 patients currently on the kidney transplant waiting list in the United States alone.
