The Brain-Dead Organ Donor


Book Description

Addressing all aspects of brain death and thoroughly detailing how a potential organ donor should be maintained to ensure maximum use of the organs and cells, The Brain-Dead Organ Donor: Pathophysiology and Management is a landmark addition to the literature. This first-of-its-kind, multidisciplinary volume will be of interest to a large section of the medical community. The first section of the book reviews the historical, medical, legal, and ethical aspects of brain death. That is followed by two chapters on the pathophysiology of brain death as investigated in small and large animal models. This includes a review of the many hormonal changes, including the neuroendocrine- adrenergic ‘storm’, that takes place during and following the induction of brain death, and how they impact metabolism. The next section of the book reviews various effects of brain death, namely its impact on thyroid function, the inflammatory response that develops, and those relating to innate immunity. The chapters relating to assessment and management of potential organ donors will be of interest to a very large group of transplant surgeons and physicians as well as critical care and neurocritical care physicians and nurses. Neurologists, endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, and pathologists will also be interested, especially in the more basic science sections on various aspects of brain-death and hormonal therapy. Organ procurement organizations and transplant coordinators worldwide will also be interested in this title. Other chapters will be of interest to medical historians, medico-legal experts, and ethicists.

Organ Shortage


Book Description

Organ shortage is an ongoing problem in many countries. The needless death and suffering which have resulted necessitate an investigation into potential solutions. This examination of contemporary ethical means, both practical and policy-oriented, of reducing the shortfall in organs draws on the experiences of a range of countries. The authors focus on the resolution and negotiation of ethical conflict, examine systems approaches such as the 'Spanish model' and the US Breakthrough Collaboratives, evaluate policy proposals relating to incentives, presumed consent, and modifications regarding end-of-life care, and evaluate the greatly increased use of (non-heart-beating) donors suffering circulatory death, as well as living donors. The proposed strategies and solutions are not only capable of resolving the UK's own organ-shortage crisis, but also of being implemented in other countries grappling with how to address the growing gap between supply and demand for organs.

Un Nuevo Corazón


Book Description

Este es un libro que puede cambiar un corazón. El libro puede cambiar tu vida y tu mente para siempre. Una persona no puede sobrevivir mucho tiempo con un corazón débil. ¿Cómo está tu corazón? ¿Es fuerte o necesita algunos ajustes? Tal vez necesite un reemplazo completo. ¿Qué pasaría si el cirujano, Dios, realizara una cirugía de corazón y te sanara? El Señor es un cirujano hábil que puede hacer esa obra en ti si se lo permites. Solo imagina tu vida con un corazón completamente nuevo. Con este libro, me gustaría compartir un testimonio sobre mi trasplante de corazón como testigo de los milagros de Dios. Mientras estaba en el Hospital Loma Linda esperando un trasplante de corazón, mi oración durante el tiempo que pasé allí fue que Dios usara mi situación para animar a otros y que yo fuera testigo de su bondad y milagros de sanidad. En mi oración, le pedí que me permitiera recibir ideas o temas para devocionales, enseñanzas o comentarios cada día. Él gentilmente me concedió esa oración. Cada día en el hospital escribí un pensamiento, un devocional, una enseñanza o un comentario con el que pude ampliar a lo largo del año e incluir en este libro. Estos temas están destinados a enseñar, a animar, a hacerte reflexionar, y como lo es con la Palabra de Dios, a veces redarguye. Es mi esperanza para los cristianos nacidos de nuevo que este libro refuerce su caminar con Cristo, y que para los no creyentes, los guíe a Cristo. Mientras leas, medita en el mensaje y aplícalo a tu vida, pero sobre todo, medita en la Palabra de Dios que se encuentra en cada devocional. También incluí una breve biografía al principio para presentarme y guiarlos a través de mis antecedentes familiares y cómo llegué aquí. Al final he incluido algunos devocionales únicos que aplican la ciencia de Dios a la vida cotidiana.
