41. 'Chromosome 6': A Tale Of Intrigue, Apes And Organ Transplants Review says Chromosome 6 is fascinating from a medical perspective, but gives it only 2 out of 4 stars. http://www.lubbockonline.com/news/050897/chromoso.htm

'Chromosome 6': a tale of intrigue, apes and organ transplants By Guy Powers Knight-Ridder Newspapers - (KRT) A roundup of recent books: Four stars represents the reviewer's highest recommendation. Organ transplants once considered risky now are almost routine. But the odds against a perfect genetic match are astronomical, and until that hurdle is overcome, no organ transplant is a sure thing. In Robin Cook's ''Chromosome 6'' (Putnam, $24.95), a researcher has discovered a way to reduce the rejection rate to zero through genetic engineering - not in humans, but in apes. The result is an animal ''double'' whose organs are immediately available for ''harvest.'' The process is illegal, immoral in the eyes of animal rights activists, and highly attractive to sick people with lots of money. Which is good for GenSys, a company long on greed and short on scruples. It establishes a laboratory in Equatorial Guinea, an impoverished African nation willing to ignore improprieties in exchange for a steady cash flow. Animals are procured. Enhanced breeding takes place, fortified with human DNA. The creatures are then isolated on an island, awaiting the inevitable surgeon's knife. At first, all goes well. Profits snowball. Then mobster Carlo Franconi is assassinated just before testifying for the Feds. His body is then stolen from the New York City morgue. When it resurfaces, the head, hands and liver are missing. A pair of NYC forensic pathologists are determined to find out how and why Franconi disappeared.

SEARCH: HOME CURRENT ISSUE BACK ISSUES ARTICLES ... SURVEY Organ Transplants and Cellular Memories According to this study of patients who have received transplanted organs, particularly hearts, it is not uncommon for memories, behaviours, preferences and habits associated with the donor to be transferred to the recipient. Extracted from Nexus Magazine, Volume 12, Number 3 (April - May 2005) PO Box 30, Mapleton Qld 4560 Australia. editor@nexusmagazine.com Telephone: +61 (0)7 5442 9280; Fax: +61 (0)7 5442 9381 From our web page at: www.nexusmagazine.com by Paul Pearsall, PhD Gary E. Schwartz, PhD Linda G. Russek, PhD Email: gschwart@u.arizona.edu INTRODUCTION It is generally assumed that learning involves primarily the nervous system and secondarily the immune system. Hence, patients receiving peripheral organ transplants should not experience personality changes that parallel the personalities of donors they have never met. When personality changes have been observed following transplants, the kinds of explanations entertained include effects of the immunosuppressant drugs, psychosocial stress, and pre-existing psychopathology of the recipients. However, living systems theory explicitly posits that all living cells possess "memory" and "decider" functional subsystems within them.

New microsurgical devices and better anti-rejection drugs have made possible the transplanting of skin, muscle and bone from a dead person to another in particular, those who suffer facial deformities.

Home Site Map Cancer Types Treatments ... About Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplants Menu Treatments Transplantation In memory of Yossi who had a BMT at age 9yrs for leukaemia. This is his picture depicting the transplant. Picture reproduced by kind permission. Overview There are many different types of blood cell, but they all develop from stem cells. Most of these stem cells are found in the bone marrow (the soft inside part of the bone), although some are found in the blood (peripheral blood stem cells). Chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy damages normal cells as well as cancer cells. At high doses the bone marrow may be damaged or destroyed, and the patient may not be able to produce the necessary blood cells. In a Bone marrow transplant (BMT), marrow containing healthy stem cells is infused to replace those damaged by the high dose therapy, so that the patient can produce blood cells again. Alternatively a peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) may be given. While blood is not as rich in stem cells as bone marrow advances in transplantation mean that PBSCT ("stem cell rescue") is increasingly being used in the treatment of certain cancers. There are 3 types of transplant: Allogenic transplants are where marrow is donated by another person;

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.

Liver Health Articles Liver Health Links Patient Stories PDF Newsletter ... Publications Liver Transplant By ALF in collaboration with the Veterans Affairs Centers for Excellence in Research and Education for Hepatitis C What is a liver transplant? A liver transplant is the replacement of your liver with one that has been donated by someone else. The donated liver comes from someone who has died. In the future, it may be more common for donated liver tissue to come from a living person, such as a family member. In this case, you receive only a part of the donor's liver. When is a liver transplant considered? Liver transplants are considered only when there is a high risk of death from liver disease. Usually, more than one doctor will help decide if you need a liver transplant. Being told you might need a liver transplant doesn't automatically mean that you are in danger of dying right away. It usually takes a long time to find a liver that is right for you. For this reason, your doctor might try to decide whether you need a liver transplant months or years before you actually must have one. What might make my doctor think I need a liver transplant?

Heart Information - Adult Health Topics A-Z Heart Surgery Heart Transplant Who is a candidate for a heart transplant? How is heart transplantation done? Are there any complications? What is the survival rate for heart transplants? ... To find a doctor Who is a candidate for a heart transplant? Heart transplantation is a last-resort option for people with heart failure. To be considered for a heart transplant, a person's heart must be unresponsive to other forms of treatment and all other vital organs must be in excellent health. How is heart transplantation done? The surgery must be performed immediately after a suitable donor heart becomes available. The recipient is placed on a heart-lung machine that takes over the functions of the heart and lungs so the diseased heart can be removed and replaced with the new heart. Once the blood vessels are reconnected, the heart is ready to function. Are there any complications? One of the main complications following heart transplantation is rejection. The body's immune system treats the new organ as foreign tissue and produces antibodies to destroy it. Immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporine (sie-klo-SPOR-in) are given to suppress this response. In cases of severe rejection, retransplantation may be considered if a new donor can be found. In the past, side effects of anti-rejection drugs kept elderly persons and infants from being recipients of heart transplants. Now, improvements in the field have made it possible for many newborns to those in their seventies to be eligible for a transplant.

Liver Health Articles Liver Health Links Patient Stories PDF Newsletter ... Publications Transplants: The Gift of Life Donated organs save lives. Organ donation is an important decision. It is one that should be considered carefully. Become a Donor Give the Gift of Life What does brain dead mean? Brain dead means the brain has ceased to function with absolutely no hope of recovery. The spark of life is gone and the body and its organs can only function when supported by artificial means. A brain tumor, severe trauma to the brain or drowning can cause a person to become brain dead. Standards for determining whether a person is brain dead are strict and require a neurospecialist to confirm the diagnosis of the attending physician. How successful are organ and tissue transplants? Today, kidney, liver, bone and heart transplants are well accepted therapies, which are preformed routinely at specialized transplant centers saving thousands of lives each year. In the United States, there are approximately 12,000 kidneys transplanted each year. There were nearly 2,200 hearts and 5,000 livers transplanted in 2000. Heart transplants now have an 84% one-year survival and approximately 76% three-year survival. Liver transplant patients have about a 82% one-year and a 76% three-year survival rate.

Home Transplants now treat feline kidney disease Tuesday, October 01, 2002 By Deborah Weisberg Mr. Saul may look like any other black domestic shorthair, but the 5-year-old North Huntingdon cat is perhaps the only feline in Western Pennsylvania living with a transplanted kidney. Andy Hummell of North Huntingdon with lucky Mr. Saul on the back of the sofa and kidney donor Oscar in his arms. (Annie O'Neill, Post-Gazette) He received a healthy organ from a shelter cat who might otherwise have been euthanized in a $7,000 operation at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The school has done 70 such procedures in the past five years. Mr. Saul's owner, Andrew Hummell, a 34-year-old sales engineer, chose the surgery in May 2001 when kidney failure was about to wipe out Mr. Saul's ninth life. So far, Mr. Saul is among the majority of cats doing well more than a year after transplantation. Another local cat, the only other that Penn has transplanted, was 11 at the time of the transplant and lived a little more than a year afterward before dying of liver cancer.
