It's only love? Some pitfalls in emotionally related organ donation. (1/48)

Transplanting organs from emotionally related donors has become a fairly routine procedure in many countries. However, donors have to be chosen carefully in order to avoid not just medically, but also morally, questionable outcomes. This paper draws attention to vulnerabilities that may affect the voluntariness of the donor's decision. Suggestions are made as to how to approach the evaluation and selection of potential donors.  (+info)

Factors influencing decisions about donation of the brain for research purposes. (2/48)

OBJECTIVES: to find out the attitudes to brain donation for research purposes and factors involved in decision-making in elderly people. DESIGN: questionnaire administered after the decision had been made. SETTING AND SUBJECTS: 200 of the 640 people in Nottingham aged 67-100 who were assessed as part of the Medical Research Council multicentre Cognitive Function and Ageing Study of 2,518 people over 65 and were approached to consider brain donation for the neuropathology component of the study of dementia incidence. RESULTS: Most people completing the questionnaire had positive or neutral feelings about being approached. Positive influences included: personal approach, awareness of need for research and of suffering caused by dementia and a desire to help others. Many had fears about not being really dead, about post mortem examinations and feeling pain after death. Most preferred cremation and these were much more likely to donate. Two-thirds thought death was not talked about enough: 65% of those visited found talking helpful. Relatives had an important influence, usually dissuading the person from donating. CONCLUSIONS: some families who agreed to a relative's decision to donate only did so after discussing it together well in advance of death would have been unlikely to have agreed had they been approached for the first timeonly after death. There is a need to: (i) talk more about death, addressing people's fears, (ii) increase awareness of the need for autopsies and donation for research and (iii) provide more training in talking about death andautopsies.  (+info)

What's not wrong with conditional organ donation? (3/48)

In a well known British case, the relatives of a dead man consented to the use of his organs for transplant on the condition that they were transplanted only into white people. The British government condemned the acceptance of racist offers and the panel they set up to report on the case condemned all conditional offers of donation. The panel appealed to a principle of altruism and meeting the greatest need. This paper criticises their reasoning. The panel's argument does not show that conditional donation is always wrong and anyway overlooks a crucial distinction between making an offer and accepting it. But even the most charitable reinterpretation of the panel's argument does not reject selective acceptance of conditional offers. The panel's reasoning has no merit.  (+info)

Benefit of child-to-parent kidney donation. (4/48)

Use of child-to-parent (CTP) kidney donation may be limited because of ethical concerns as well as doubts about its effectiveness. We used the United Network for Organ Sharing database to examine the effectiveness of CTP kidney donation compared with other types of living-related (LD) kidney donation and to cadaveric kidney donation. Data from 56 873 kidney transplants performed between 1988 and 1998 showed significantly greater transplant and patient survival for CTP kidney transplants compared with cadaveric kidney transplants. The average gain in kidney transplant half-life is 3.6 years for a CTP compared with a cadaveric kidney transplant, and it is estimated that this gain for the recipient far outweighs the 1 in 3000 risk of death to the donor associated with kidney donation. We conclude that CTP kidney donation should not be discouraged, and represents a useful source of transplantable kidneys.  (+info)

Baby marrow: ethicists and privacy. (5/48)

A family had a child in large part to use its marrow in the hopes of saving the life of an older child afflicted with leukaemia. Public response from medical ethicists was negative. This paper argues that what the family did was not clearly wrong and that the ethicists should not have made public pronouncements calling the morals of the family into question.  (+info)

Kidney transplantation from living donors: comparison of results between related and unrelated donor transplants under new immunosuppressive protocols. (6/48)

BACKGROUND: Recent advances in immunosuppressive therapy have led to a substantial improvement in the outcome of kidney transplantation. Living unrelated donors may become a source of additional organs for patients on the kidney waiting list. OBJECTIVES: To study the impact of the combination of calcineurin inhibitors and mycophenolate-mofetile, together with steroids, on outcomes of living related and unrelated transplants. METHODS: Between September 1997 and January 2000, 129 patients underwent living related (n = 80) or unrelated (n = 49) kidney transplant. The mean follow-up was 28.2 months. Immunosuppressive protocols consisted of MMF with cyclosporine (41%) or tacrolimus (59%), plus steroids. Patient and graft survival data, rejection rate, and graft functional parameters were compared between the groups. RESULTS: LUD recipients were older (47.8 vs. 33.6 years) with a higher number of re-transplants (24.5% vs. 11.2% in LRD recipients, P < 0.05). Human leukocyte antigen matching was higher in LRD recipients (P < 0.001). Acute rejection developed in 28.6% of LUD and 27.5% of LRD transplants (P = NS). Creatinine levels at 1, 2 and 3 years post-transplant were 1.6, 1.7 and 1.7 mg/dl for LRD patients and 1.5, 1.5 and 1.3 mg/dl for LUD recipients (P = NS). There was no difference in patient survival rates between the groups. One, 2 and 3 years graft survival rates were similar in LRD (91.3%, 90% and 87.5%) and LUD (89.8%, 87.8% and 87.8%) recipients. CONCLUSIONS: Despite HLA disparity, rejection and survival rates of living unrelated transplants under current immunosuppressive protocols are comparable to those of living related transplants.  (+info)

Pre-donated autologous blood transfusion in scoliosis surgery. (7/48)

We studied the use of autologous pre-donatedblood transfusion in surgery for scoliosis in 45 patients who were divided into two groups; 27 who pre-donated autologous blood (group 1) and 18 who were planned recipients of allogenic blood (group 2). Normovolaemic haemodilution and intra-operative blood salvage was used in six patients in group 1 and three patients in group 2. The two groups did not differ significantly with respect to age, American Society of Anaesthesiologists score, mean operative time, number of vertebral segments fused, total blood loss, length of stay in intensive care and length of stay in hospital. The risk of requiring allogenic blood transfusion was found to be significantly less in group 1 (7.4% v 88.9%, p < 0.001). Only 5.21% of autologous units were wasted. Although intra-operative blood salvage reduced the total blood loss in both groups, it did not affect the need for subsequent allogenic transfusion or reduce the number of pre-donated autologous units which were given (p < 0.67). Autologous blood transfusion requiredextra time, personnel, resources and cost pounds sterling 28.88 per patient more than allogenic transfusion, however, the projected costs at May 2002 make this programme cost-effective by pounds sterling 51.54 per patient. Pre-donated autologous blood transfusion is acceptable and safe in scoliosis surgery. It significantly reduces the subsequent requirement of allogenic transfusion. Although the cost is currently more than allogenic transfusion, with the increase in the costs of the latter and the decrease in potential donors which is anticipated, pre-donation of autologous blood will become comparatively cost-effective.  (+info)

Assessment of the willingness of potential live related kidney donors. (8/48)

Even in the case of live related kidney donation, coercion within families is applied on the most vulnerable amongst them. This vulnerability could be financial, social or psychological In this paper we discuss how to assess the willingness or unwillingness of a kidney donor and discover if any coercion has been applied on him/her be it direct or indirect.  (+info)

Directed tissue donation is the process by which a person designates a specific individual as the recipient of their donated tissues, such as corneas, heart valves, or skin, after their death. This allows the donor to make a direct and meaningful impact on the life of someone they know or are related to who may be in need of a tissue transplant. It is important to note that the final determination of whether the tissues are suitable for transplantation will be made by medical professionals at the time of donation, taking into account various factors such as the donor's medical history and cause of death. Directed tissue donation can provide comfort and solace to both the donor and their loved ones, knowing that they have been able to help someone in need even after their passing.

The term "clergy" is not typically used in a medical context, but it does have a general definition that might be helpful to know. Clergy are individuals who are ordained or authorized to perform religious duties and services. They may include priests, ministers, rabbis, imams, and other spiritual leaders.

While the term "clergy" is not a medical term, it is worth noting that members of the clergy may play an important role in the emotional and spiritual well-being of their congregants. They may provide counseling, support, and guidance to individuals who are dealing with illness, grief, or other life challenges. In some cases, they may also work closely with healthcare professionals to help patients and families navigate complex medical decisions and treatments.

Tissue and organ procurement is the process of obtaining viable tissues and organs from deceased or living donors for the purpose of transplantation, research, or education. This procedure is performed by trained medical professionals in a sterile environment, adhering to strict medical standards and ethical guidelines. The tissues and organs that can be procured include hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys, pancreases, intestines, corneas, skin, bones, tendons, and heart valves. The process involves a thorough medical evaluation of the donor, as well as consent from the donor or their next of kin. After procurement, the tissues and organs are preserved and transported to recipients in need.

The United States Office of Research Integrity (ORI) is a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that focuses on research integrity, misconduct, and dispute resolution. ORI oversees and directs Public Health Service (PHS) research integrity activities on behalf of the Secretary of HHS.

In this context, "research integrity" refers to the adherence to ethical principles and standards in the design, conduct, and reporting of scientific research. This includes being truthful about the methods and results of experiments, giving appropriate credit to the work of others, and avoiding conflicts of interest.

ORI's mission is to:

1. Promote integrity in biomedical and behavioral research supported by the Public Health Service (PHS).
2. Identify and address instances of research misconduct involving PHS-supported research.
3. Provide leadership and oversight of research integrity activities for HHS components, including developing policies, procedures, and regulations related to research integrity and misconduct.
4. Serve as a resource for the research community, providing guidance on responsible conduct of research, research misconduct, and related topics.

ORI achieves its mission through various activities, such as investigating allegations of research misconduct, providing guidance and training to researchers and institutions, and collaborating with other federal agencies and organizations to promote research integrity.

Third-party consent is a legal concept in medical law that refers to a situation where a person who is not the patient or healthcare provider grants permission for medical treatment or release of confidential medical information about the patient. This typically occurs when the patient is unable to make decisions for themselves due to incapacity, such as being unconscious or having a mental illness.

The third party may be a legally appointed guardian, a close family member, or someone else who has been given legal authority to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the patient. It's important to note that laws regarding third-party consent vary by jurisdiction and can be subject to specific requirements and limitations.

In general, medical professionals are required to ensure that any third-party consent is informed, voluntary, and meets the legal standards for decision-making authority before proceeding with treatment or releasing confidential information.

A Tissue Bank is a specialized facility that collects, stores, and distributes human tissues for medical research, transplantation, or therapeutic purposes. These tissues can include organs, bones, skin, heart valves, tendons, and other bodily tissues that can be used for various medical applications.

Tissue banks follow strict regulations and guidelines to ensure the safety and quality of the tissues they handle. They implement rigorous screening and testing procedures to minimize the risk of disease transmission and maintain the integrity of the tissues. The tissues are stored under specific conditions, such as temperature and humidity, to preserve their function and viability until they are needed for use.

Tissue banks play a critical role in advancing medical research and improving patient outcomes by providing researchers and clinicians with access to high-quality human tissues for study and transplantation.

A tissue donor is an individual who has agreed to allow organs and tissues to be removed from their body after death for the purpose of transplantation to restore the health or save the life of another person. The tissues that can be donated include corneas, heart valves, skin, bone, tendons, ligaments, veins, and cartilage. These tissues can enhance the quality of life for many recipients and are often used in reconstructive surgeries. It is important to note that tissue donation does not interfere with an open casket funeral or other cultural or religious practices related to death and grieving.

Oocyte donation is a medical procedure in which mature oocytes (or immature oocytes that are matured in the lab) are donated by one woman to another woman for the purpose of assisted reproduction. The recipient woman typically receives hormonal treatments to prepare her uterus for embryo implantation. The donated oocytes are then fertilized with sperm from the recipient's partner or a sperm donor in a laboratory, and the resulting embryos are transferred into the recipient's uterus.

Oocyte donation is often recommended for women who have poor ovarian function or who have a high risk of passing on genetic disorders to their offspring. It is also used in cases where previous attempts at in vitro fertilization (IVF) using the woman's own eggs have been unsuccessful.

The process of oocyte donation involves rigorous screening and evaluation of both the donor and recipient, including medical, psychological, and genetic evaluations, to ensure the safety and success of the procedure. The donor's ovaries are stimulated with hormonal medications to produce multiple mature oocytes, which are then retrieved through a minor surgical procedure.

Overall, oocyte donation is a complex and emotionally charged process that requires careful consideration and counseling for both the donor and recipient. It offers hope for many women who would otherwise be unable to conceive a biological child.

The term "family" in a medical context often refers to a group of individuals who are related by blood, marriage, or adoption and who consider themselves to be a single household. This can include spouses, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, and other extended family members. In some cases, the term may also be used more broadly to refer to any close-knit group of people who provide emotional and social support for one another, regardless of their biological or legal relationship.

In healthcare settings, understanding a patient's family dynamics can be important for providing effective care. Family members may be involved in decision-making about medical treatments, providing care and support at home, and communicating with healthcare providers. Additionally, cultural beliefs and values within families can influence health behaviors and attitudes towards medical care, making it essential for healthcare professionals to take a culturally sensitive approach when working with patients and their families.

Decision-making is the cognitive process of selecting a course of action from among multiple alternatives. In a medical context, decision-making refers to the process by which healthcare professionals and patients make choices about medical tests, treatments, or management options based on a thorough evaluation of available information, including the patient's preferences, values, and circumstances.

The decision-making process in medicine typically involves several steps:

1. Identifying the problem or issue that requires a decision.
2. Gathering relevant information about the patient's medical history, current condition, diagnostic test results, treatment options, and potential outcomes.
3. Considering the benefits, risks, and uncertainties associated with each option.
4. Evaluating the patient's preferences, values, and goals.
5. Selecting the most appropriate course of action based on a careful weighing of the available evidence and the patient's individual needs and circumstances.
6. Communicating the decision to the patient and ensuring that they understand the rationale behind it, as well as any potential risks or benefits.
7. Monitoring the outcomes of the decision and adjusting the course of action as needed based on ongoing evaluation and feedback.

Effective decision-making in medicine requires a thorough understanding of medical evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences. It also involves careful consideration of ethical principles, such as respect for autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice. Ultimately, the goal of decision-making in healthcare is to promote the best possible outcomes for patients while minimizing harm and respecting their individual needs and values.
