121. CNN - Umbilical Cord Blood Could Replace Blood Marrow Transplants - October 20,
     http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9810/20/cord.blood/index.html
     
     Extractions: Web posted at: 8:33 p.m. EDT (0033 GMT) From Reporter Louise Schiavone WASHINGTON (CNN) An experimental procedure to use umbilical cord blood instead of bone marrow to treat immune diseases is gaining attention from doctors and patients. Derek Kuhs, 7, has spent much of his life in the hospital due to a rare immune system genetic disorder called chronic granulomatous disease, or CGD. "His white cells can't kick certain types of bacteria and fungi, so he's always open to life-threatening infections," said his mother, Gloria Kuhs. She and her husband are pinning their hopes on a transplant of umbilical cord blood. The cord blood, about 3 to 4 ounces taken from a mother's placenta shortly after childbirth, contains stem cells, the building blocks of all blood cells.

123. CNN - New Technique Helps Cancer Patients Find Bone Marrow Donors - October 21,
     http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9810/21/mismatch.transplants/index.html
     
     Extractions: Web posted at: 10:36 p.m. EDT (0236 GMT) A new bone marrow transplant technique may improve the chances of survival in cancer victims who cannot find good tissue matches with donors. According to doctors from the University of Perugia in Italy and the Weizmann Institute in Israel, the new method offers the chance of a successful transplant using only partially matched donors. Bone marrow transplants are often the only lifesaving treatment for patients with leukemia and lymphoma who don't respond well to chemotherapy and other treatments. But transplants often fail without a good match of tissue types, when the patient's own body attacks the new, foreign marrow. Now doctors hope to avoid that obstacle by giving donors much larger than usual doses of donated marrow.

     Extractions: Web posted at: 11:32 a.m. EST (1632 GMT) BOSTON (AP) People who receive kidney transplants live an average of 10 years longer than similar patients who continue on dialysis, a study finds. The link between a healthy transplanted kidney and longer life appears obvious. However, the study, published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, is the first to show that transplant patients not only have a better quality of life by avoiding dialysis, but live much longer than they would without a transplant. It looked at 228,552 people diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease from 1991 to 1997. Of those, 46,164 were placed on the transplant waiting list, and 23,275 of the waiting list patients received a transplanted organ from someone who died. A small percentage of the transplant recipients received organs from living donors, usually family members.

126. Face-off Over Facial Transplants - Breaking Bioethics - MSNBC.com

     Extractions: By By Arthur Caplan COMMENTARY MSNBC A team of doctors at the University of Louisville in Kentucky is moving forward with a plan to attempt the world's first face transplant. They have applied for permission from the University's research ethics committee to remove a face from a cadaver and transfer it to a live volunteer willing to go through with the surgery. If approved, the operation could take place before the end of this year. For those who have suffered terrible physical trauma, such as burns or the ravages of oral cancer, and who have been unable to adjust to their disfigurement, this radical new form of surgery offers tremendous hope. However, the ethical question is whether these surgeons are really ready to offer this hope. The reason the team at Louisville believes they are prepared to try this incredible operation is that they have already been successful in transplanting hands taken from cadavers. To date, one of the most difficult tissues to transplant is skin. The body's first line of defense is especially sensitive to foreign tissue and, as a result, skin transplants have limited what could be done with limbs, hands or other external organs. The Louisville group has developed a powerful combination of drugs that helps prevent the body from rejecting transplanted skin, allowing for their success with hand transplantation. The team believes they can apply this technique to face transplants as well.

127. CNN - New Technique Increases Success Of Bone Marrow Transplants - February 14,
     http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9802/14/bone.marrow/index.html
     
     Extractions: Web posted at: 10:37 p.m. EST (0337 GMT) PHILADELPHIA (CNN) When someone has leukemia, bone marrow transplants are the best hope for survival. But there are some major obstacles it's very difficult to find a well-matched donor, and, even when one is found, the transplant more often than not doesn't work. But at a meeting this week of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Dr. Suzanne Ilstad of the Allegheny University of the Health Sciences in Philadelphia unveiled a new advance in bone marrow transplantation that may solve both of those problems. Ilstad has come up with a new technique for performing transplants. It has been tried in 25 patients and all of them had a successful transplant. That compares with a 30 percent success rate using the traditional transplant technique. "We have been able to identify a way to engineer a bone marrow transplant to take out all the bad cells that cause graft-versus-host disease," said Ilstad.

But in the Canal household on Christmas, any medical controversy is secondary. What matters is family and, as Correspondent Holly Firfer reports from suburban Washington, with Danny at home, the family is together again. Related stories:

     Extractions: Return to Federal Citizen Information Center Home Page Bone Marrow Transplants Come Of Age July-August 2000 by Michelle Meadows When Judge Morris was diagnosed with leukemia 10 years ago, doctors told him he would need a bone marrow transplant to survive. "It gave me hope for a cure, but the big question was whether I'd ever find the right donor," says Morris, 47. The odds of finding a marrow donor in the general population are typically 1 in 20,000. Because of a rare genetic makeup, Morris' odds were 1 in a million. For the next four and a half years, the Tulsa, Okla., resident underwent chemotherapy treatments and waited. He prepared his family for the possibility that he might not be around to see his two children grow up. "Then an angel named Mike Giglio came into our lives," Morris says. The National Marrow Donor Program found Giglio through its network, and Morris received a bone marrow transplant from Giglio in March of 1993. "The leukemia is gone, I'm off medication, and not a night goes by that I don't thank Mike for saving my life," Morris says. At seven years post-transplant, the chance that the leukemia will return, experts say, is less than 5 percent. Each year, bone marrow transplants give patients a chance to beat diseases once believed to have no cure. Although the first successful bone marrow transplant didn't take place until 1968, the discovery of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in 1958 was a major breakthrough because it allowed recipients to be matched with donors.

Learn more Cord Blood Transplants Help Adults with Leukemia Option for Patients Without a Matched Bone Marrow Donor Article date: Umbilical cord blood is an acceptable source of stem cells for transplant in adult leukemia patients when a suitable bone marrow donor is unavailable, according to 2 new studies. The findings, reported by US and European research groups in the New England Journal of Medicine (Vol. 351, No. 22: 2265-2275 and 2276-2285), offer a promising alternative to thousands of leukemia patients in need of treatment. Leukemia is a type of cancer that begins in the bone marrow. It strikes both adults and children; about 33,440 people will develop the disease in 2004, according to American Cancer Society estimates. Radiation, chemotherapy, and other drugs can be used to treat the 4 different types of leukemia , but many patients also need a bone marrow transplant. In this procedure, stem cells are removed from a donor's bone marrow and transplanted into the patient.

138. 50 Years Of Organ Transplants
     Since then, there have been more than 400000 transplants in the United States, List does not include cornea or cell transplants such as islet cell,  
     http://www.suntimes.com/special_sections/organ_transplants/
     
     Extractions: This year marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most remarkable feats in medical history. In 1954, surgeons at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston performed the first successful organ transplant. Doctors removed a kidney from 23-year-old Ronald Herrick and transplanted it into his identical twin, Richard, who was dying of kidney failure. Richard recovered, married his nurse, had two daughters and lived another eight years. Since then, there have been more than 400,000 transplants in the United States, including more than 25,000 last year. Thanks to less-invasive surgical techniques, better anti-rejection drugs and other improvements, transplant patients are recovering faster and living longer. "It's one of the modern medical miracles, and it keeps getting better," said Dr. Robert Higgins, a heart-transplant surgeon at Rush University Medical Center. But while transplant surgery has become routine, many of the stories behind the operations remain as dramatic as the Herrick twins' story, replete with suffering, sacrifice, hope, courage, tragedy, triumph, extraordinary generosity and a fierce will to live.
