This brilliant synthesis summarizes all of the recent accomplishments – as well as the ongoing research – in the field of composite tissue transplantation. It includes sections on hand transplantation and vascularized bone marrow transplantation. The volume focuses on immunology and the biotechnology/bioengineering aspects of transplantation surgery, as those two areas have demonstrated the most growth within the last five years in terms of current research.
This book supports the emerging field of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) for face and upper-limb transplants by providing a revised, ethically appropriate consent model which takes into account what is actually required of facial and upper extremity transplant recipients. In place of consent as permission-giving, waiver, or autonomous authorization (the standard approaches), this book imagines consent as an ongoing mutual commitment, i.e. as covenant consent. The covenant consent model highlights the need for a durable personal relationship between the patient/subject and the care provider/researcher. Such a relationship is crucial given the recovery period of 5 years or mor...
Path-Breaking Work in Plastic and Reconstructive Microsurgery by Dr. Doina Dumitrescu-Ionescu was reviewed by David Soutar for The Royal College of Surgeons of England: “This is a refreshingly original and unusual text. It is a testament to the life work of the author and her struggle to develop clinical microsurgery in Rumania. It takes the reader on a journey starting with learning the basic techniques of microsurgery, laboratory and experimental research, teaching and training. It then progresses to the building of an infrastructure for development and clinical practice, the maintenance of meticulous records and the evaluation of results. As such, the book is a very personal account wri...
Major limb amputation affects a large number of people worldwide, with estimates in the United States as high as 2 million. One of the most common conditions following limb amputation is phantom limb sensation. The majority of patients who have undergone traumatic limb loss also experience phantom limb pain (PLP). There is no consensus on potential differences in the frequency or severity of phantom pain between men and women. This project is seeking out studies that look at the experience of PLP: what people feel, frequency and duration of PLP episodes, if there is a difference in experience between men and women, as well as if there is a relationship between PLP experiences and cause of am...
This book offers comprehensive coverage of reconstructive transplantation surgery. It represents the culmination of decades of practice and research surrounding reconstructive transplantation, including transplantation of upper and lower extremities, face, abdominal wall etc. from donor to recipient. Chapters are organized from in a formulaic manner covering anatomy, approach, considerations and preparations, case studies, and outcomes. Extensive details on the most challenging parts of transplantation including donor selection, vascular considerations, and the latest research on immunosuppressant drugs, makes this book a triumph of experience from the experts of the world renowned Cleveland...
This volume in the Diagnostic Pathology series is an ideal point-of-care resource for practitioners at all levels of experience and training. Covering the full range of solid organ transplantation (SOT) of the kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, intestine, and more, it provides a current understanding of transplant immunology and pathology to help ensure accurate diagnosis for optimal clinical management. Richly illustrated and easy to use, Diagnostic Pathology: Transplant Pathology, third edition, is a visually stunning, one-stop reference for practicing pathologists, transplant practitioners, and students of organ transplantation. - Covers all areas of transplant pathology, incorporating...
Design of Artificial Human Joints & Organs is intended to present the basics of the normal systems and how, due to aging, diseases or trauma, body parts may need to be replaced with manmade materials. The movement of the body generates forces in various work situations and also internally at various joints, muscles and ligaments. It is essential to figure out the forces, moments, pressure etc to design replacements that manage these stresses without breaking down. The mechanical characterization of the hard and the soft tissues are presented systematically using the principles of solid mechanics. The viscoelastic properties of the tissue will also discussed. This text covers the design science and methodology from concept to blueprint to the final component being replaced. Each chapter will be a brief overview of various joint/organ replacement systems. Engineers working on artificial joints and organs, as well as students of Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering are the main intended audience, however, the pedagogy is simple enough for those who are learning the subject for the first time.

What Is Head Transplant An experimental surgical procedure known as a head transplant involves grafting the head of one organism onto the body of another creature. This grafting takes place during a head transplant. In several of the tests, the head of the receiver was not removed; however, in other experiments, the head was removed. The early 1900s saw the beginning of the practice of conducting experiments on animals. As of the year 2022, there has been no achievement of long-term success. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Head transplant Chapter 2: Organ donation Chapter 3: Organ (biology) Chapter 4: Brain transplant Chapter 5: Organ...
