Organ Preservation and Transplant Surgery
This new book, edited by internationally renowned specialists, also pools the experience of consultants from both Europe and the US. It is divided into three main sections: Organ Preservation, Organ Harvesting and Surgical Techniques. Many different organs are profiled, including the heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, intestine and bowel. The various aspects of preservation are discussed including cooling and preservation solutions, which are of special interest as researchers are actively exploring the composition of those solutions. Longer term preservation of the heart is still an unsolved problem and this is considered, as well as the pros and cons of organ donation from live or cadaveric ...
A History of Organ Transplantation
A History of Organ Transplantation is a comprehensive and ambitious exploration of transplant surgery—which, surprisingly, is one of the longest continuous medical endeavors in history. Moreover, no other medical enterprise has had so many multiple interactions with other fields, including biology, ethics, law, government, and technology. Exploring the medical, scientific, and surgical events that led to modern transplant techniques, Hamilton argues that progress in successful transplantation required a unique combination of multiple methods, bold surgical empiricism, and major immunological insights in order for surgeons to develop an understanding of the body's most complex and mysteriou...
Transplantation Surgery
It is like a fairy story! Or at least a beautiful epic, a truly significant page in the history of medicine, a staggering scene in which several actors come into play, both fundamentalists and clinical practitioners, eager to place all these new developments at the disposal of those suffering from ill health. Everyone is passionate about their work, be it providing new knowledge or perfecting new therapeutic methods. Man has always been fascinated by the possibility of replacing a damaged organ with a healthy one. Several attempts have been made over the centuries, and some miracles have been reported, such as those of Saint Damien and Saint Come as illustrated by Fra Angelico. The modern saga, however, started more modestly on the mouse. It is on the mouse that the first tissue group was discovered; yet the study of human tissue groups could only be carried out on a human. One human must be subjected to the thousands of tests that have enabled us to unravel the extraordinary complexity of the HLA system.

Marwan
How did an Egyptian city planner, a Yemeni religious fanatic, a boy from the United Arab Emirates who worshipped sex, not Allah, and a young student of aircraft design who went to a Christian school in Lebanon - four very different men with very different ideas - get involved in flying the 9/11 planes? How did the plot develop, and who developed it? "Marwan," a novel by Aram Schefrin, puts the reported facts together and fills in the details with fiction - from the group's first coming together in Hamburg, Germany, to the moments before the jets they were to hijack took off. You'll come to know the participants, and how they were motivated, what their personal lives were like and the roles they played in the plan. You will learn to know them as people - not simply as "terrorists"- because, as the author sees it, you have to understand your enemies if you want to defend yourself.
Beautiful Trauma
Late one night, Rebecca Fogg's hand is partially amputated in an explosion in her flat. Quick thinking saves her life, but the journey to recovery is a slow one. As the doctors rebuild her hand, Rebecca (who also survived 9/11) rebuilds her sense of self by studying the physical and psychological process of recovery. Interspersing the personal with the medical, Rebecca charts her year of rehabilitation, touching on the marvellously adaptable anatomy of the hand; how the brain's fight or flight mechanism suppresses conscious thought so we can react instantly to danger; and why trauma causes some people to develop PTSD, while giving others a whole new lease of life. Told with great emotional and intellectual clarity, BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA explores the resilient nature of the human spirit and the power we all hold in our hands.
Néphrologie et urologie
Cette quatrième édition du cahier n° 16 recouvre le programme du module " Soins infirmiers aux personnes atteintes d'affections néphrologiques et urologiques " du diplôme d'Etat. Les soins infirmiers sont caractérisés à la fois : par une technicité élevée (voies veineuses centrales, branchement d'hémodialyse ou de dialyse péritonéale, actes périopératoires) ; par la nécessité de prendre en charge des patients souvent atteints d'affections chroniques, gardant un contact prolongé avec l'hôpital et soumis à des modifications durables de leur vie au quotidien. Les mises à jour tiennent compte de l'avancée des méthodes diagnostiques par l'imagerie et la biologie, des nouve...

Pr Jean-Michel Dubernard (1941-2021)
« J’avais à peine 11 ans quand j’ai eu la vocation après une opération de l’appendicite et l’annonce de la première transplantation de reins (en France, 1952). » C’est le Pr Jean-Michel Dubernard qui, par ses paroles, explique la vocation qui l’a conduit à devenir le grand médecin que nous avons connu. Il a ainsi réalisé la première transplantation européenne d’un rein-pancréas en 1976, la première allogreffe du monde de la main en 1998, la première double greffe bilatérale des mains et avant-bras au monde en 2000 et la première greffe partielle du visage au monde en 2005. Voici l’histoire d’un chirurgien français exceptionnel, pionnier en son domaine, au service de l’humanité. Voici aussi l’hommage qui lui a été rendu par toute une profession lors d’un colloque tenu par l’Académie nationale de chirurgie, dont il était membre, en 2021, tout de suite après l’annonce de sa disparition…
