On the day he was born, Patrick Davey saved a woman's life. His parents donated his umbilical cord blood, which was used in a stem cell transplant that saved the life of cancer patient Holly Becker.
Das neue Entdeckungs- und Innovationsgebäude der Mayo Clinic in Florida eröffnete am Donnerstag, dem 22. August. Hier wird durch wegweisende Technologie die Anzahl der für die Transplantation verfügbaren Lungen erhöht. In dem rund 7000 Quadratmeter großen Gebäude wird sich auch ein innovativer Life Sciences Incubator befinden, der Unternehmer mit Ressourcen verbindet, um medizinische Lösungen auf den Markt zu bringen.
Le nouveau Discovery and Innovation Building de la Mayo Clinic en Floride, un bâtiment dédié à la recherche et à l’innovation, a ouvert ses portes le jeudi 22 août. Dans cet endroit, une technologie novatrice augmentera le nombre de poumons disponibles pour les transplantations.
Most patients who died or were removed from the kidney transplant waitlist before getting a transplant received multiple offers for a donor kidney.
El jueves 22 de agosto, se inauguró en Mayo Clinic de Florida el nuevo edificio “Descubrimientos e Innovación”, donde mediante tecnología pionera se incrementará la cantidad de pulmones disponibles para trasplante.
Median survival after lung transplant is less than six years. To see what might help lung transplant recipients live longer, University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers analyzed US lung transplant data, focused on immunosuppression regimes, and found a drug combination that appears to significantly extend patient survival.
For the first time in Southern California, surgeons at UC San Diego Health have transplanted the kidney of a deceased donor with HIV into a recipient with a pre-existing HIV infection. The procedure is part of an unprecedented multi-site national clinical trial.
French organ transplant centers are far more likely to accept “lower-rated” kidneys, like those from older organ donors, than centers in the United States, according to a study published today in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Mayo Clinic in Florida's new Discovery and Innovation Building opened on Thursday, Aug. 22. Here, pioneering technology will increase the number of lungs available for transplant. The 75,000-square-foot building also will house an innovative Life Sciences Incubator that connects entrepreneurs with resources to bring medical solutions to market.
Nanotechnology developed at Rutgers University–New Brunswick could boost research on stem cell transplantation, which may help people with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, other neurodegenerative diseases, and central nervous system injuries.
The heart cannot regenerate muscle after a heart attack. Injecting heart muscle cells grown in vitro could help the failing heart, but engraftment rates are low. A new and simple method to improve the quality of the delivered cells has now been tested in mice, and it doubles the engraftment rate.
UW Medicine’s lung-transplant team, the only such providers in the Pacific Northwest, performed their 1,000th transplant on July 7, 2019. Ten other U.S. programs have reached such a milestone. Lindsey Decker, 33, of Tri-Cities, Washington, received two donor lungs and was patient No. 1,000.
The heart transplant program at UC San Diego Health has demonstrated the best one-year survival rate for patients in the United States among health care providers with a volume of more than 50 heart transplants per year, according to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients.
For transplant patients, organ rejection can be a serious complication. A new clinical trial at the UK Transplant Center seeks to change how the body reacts to a new organ by inducing tolerance to it through a special process prior to transplant.
A UCLA-led research team has found that giving mice antibiotics for 10 days prior to a liver transplant leads to better liver function after the surgery -- then they came across data that it also works in humans. It's all linked to the antibiotics' effect on the microbiome.
Today, MyCartis and XVIVO Perfusion AB announce a collaboration to engage in the development of a fast diagnostic tool to timely assess the quality of donated organs during ex-vivo perfusion. Such test can guide the transplant surgeon and team on the quality of an organ and the chances of a positive outcome for the recipient.
New research from UPMC and Pitt shows that living-donor liver transplant offers numerous advantages over deceased-donor transplant, including superior outcomes and less resource utilization.
Nearly a fifth of the respondents in a recent study said they would reverse their opposition to compensating kidney donors if a form of non-cash payment led to a substantial increase in the supply of available organs for transplant.
For patients with Type 1 diabetes who don’t respond well to insulin or have other serious medical complications caused by their disease, pancreas transplantation offers hope for a cure. But obese candidates who need a pancreas transplant often are denied the procedure because of poor outcomes, including high rates of incision infections, which are linked to an increased risk for failure and loss of the implanted organ.
