BBC News | Sci/Tech | Setback For Animal To Human Transplants
Article about a moratorium, ordered by the Council of Europe, on clinical tests of animal organ transplants.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/265933.stm

Extractions: By Corinne Podger of BBC Science The Council of Europe has voted for a moratorium on clinical tests of animal organ transplants into human beings. The decision will be a heavy blow to researchers working on the technique, known as "xenotransplantation". It also means the global shortage of human donor organs will have to be solved some other way. Millions of dollars have already been poured into research on transplanting animal organs into humans. Transplants postponed indefinitely until more is known Most researchers have focused on pigs, which are highly compatible with humans - and by adding some human genes to specially bred pigs, it reduces the risk that transplanted animal organs will be rejected by their human recipients. But researchers have run up against persistent problems. These involve a number of viruses which - while harmless to pigs - might pose serious health risks to humans, and possibly cause new human diseases. While not banning the idea of animal organ transplants altogether, the council of Europe voted to ban clinical tests on real patients in Europe - and wants to see that ban extended worldwide.

Extractions: @import url(/system/febo.css); Febo Home Ham Documents by N8UR Packet Radio Pages Linux AX.25 ... Send Email I have an eye condition called keratoconus. It's a disease in which the cornea (the outer surface of the eye in front of the pupil) becomes cone-shaped rather than spherical, and this results in extreme astigmatism. Glasses can't correct this vision problem, but hard contact lenses often can. Unfortunately, the distortion of the cornea makes it very difficult to fit contacts comfortably for a keratoconic my eye doctor described it as "trying to balance a saucer on the end of a football." Ultimately, the cornea may suffer scarring which results in vision loss that can't be corrected by contacts. At that point, the next step is to replace the damaged cornea with a new one through cornea transplant surgery. This is only necessary for about 10 percent of keratoconics, but I'm one of them. There's much more about that a bit further down this page... The purpose of this web site is to provide information and resources to those who have keratoconus, and particularly those who have had, or are considering, a cornea transplant.

Extractions: GQ Cover Model D uring hair transplants, hair follicles from the donor area, which is the horseshoe-shaped fringe of hair on the lower back and sides of the head, are removed and transplanted into thinning or balding areas. The hair taken from the donor area will continue to grow and not fall out as a result of pattern baldness because this hair is not sensitive to the male hormone DHT. When hair transplants surgery was first introduced in the 1950s, it was a complicated and costly procedure that often resulted in unnatural results. Through extensive research and state-of-the-art developments in technique and instrumentation, hair transplants has become a highly sophisticated yet relatively simple procedure. Major advancements in technique, many of which were pioneered by Dr. Dominic Brandy, now offer results that are remarkably natural.

http://www.lymphomainfo.net/childhood/bmtchild.html

Extractions: Site Navigation Sometimes lymphoma does not respond to treatment with standard doses of radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Very high doses of chemotherapy may then be used to treat the cancer. Because the high doses of chemotherapy can destroy the bone marrow (required for a health immune and blood system), marrow is taken from the bones before treatment. The marrow is then frozen, and the patient is given high-dose chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy to treat the cancer. The marrow taken out is then thawed and given back through a needle in a vein to replace the marrow that was destroyed. This type of transplant (from ones own marrow) is called an autologous transplant. If the marrow is taken from another person, the transplant is called an allogeneic transplant. If the child is fortunate enough to have an identical twin, marrow can be collected from the sibling - this is called a syngeneic transplant.

Extractions: We grow and ship 72 and 32 cell single variety and multiple variety flats of greenhouse propagated vegetables, annuals and perennials. Orders for multiple variety flats are filled by carefully packing empty 72 or 32-cell flats with fully developed transplants pulled, rootball and all, from our inventory of single variety flats. Each completed flat is carefully boxed together with an identification diagram designating the color and variety of transplant contained in each cell. Your flat is shipped the same day it is filled. Our plants are considerably more advanced than most plants sold as plugs. Actual size of transplants will vary from crop to crop. For comparative purposes, tomatoes are typically 10 to 14 inches in height. Flats are lightweight and sturdy with cells containing a bottom hole to provide drainage as well as air flow which prunes the tap root and encourages dense rooting that stays intact when removed for transplanting. 2290 Vermont Rte. 14 North - East Montpelier, Vt 05651
CNN - New Technique Helps Cancer Patients Find Bone Marrow Donors - October 21,

http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9810/21/mismatch.transplants/

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: 11:20 p.m. EST (0420 GMT) SAN FRANCISCO (CNN) AIDS killed Charles Tolbert's kidneys, and it seemed the disease had killed his chances of getting a kidney transplant. "When (my kidneys) originally failed in 1990, I was told there would be no way I'd be able to receive a transplant," he said. In those days, AIDS patients couldn't expect to live long enough to receive a transplant, said Dr. Robert Scott. "Sixteen years ago, when I started taking care of HIV patients, our goal was to try to maintain life for another six, nine months, a year," he said. "That is no longer the case." CNN's Don Knapp reports Powerful new drugs for treating AIDS are promising patients longer lives. And the University of California at San Francisco is offering organ transplants to people with AIDS. The program relies on an untapped source good organs from high-risk donors: homosexuals, people with multiple sexual partners, former drug users or people in jail. So HIV patients get organs that would otherwise not be used. Some doctors view that as a life-saving compromise to an ethical issue.

The treatment itself is more cost-effective in a community setting, and patients and their families eliminate the expense of traveling to a distant facility. Additionally, patients benefit from the comfort of a familiar environment and the support of having loved ones nearby. Since the program began in April of 1994, over 100 autologous bone marrow transplants have been performed at The Stamford Hospital. A five-year Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant Demonstration Project was begun in 1994. The goal of this project was to demonstrate that autologous bone marrow/stem cell transplant services could be provided safely, cost-effectively, and with quality outcomes in a community hospital based setting. The Autologous Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant Program at The Stamford Hospital was approved by the State of Connecticut Office of Health Care Access (OHCA) and granted permanent status in 1999.

http://www.rds-online.org.uk/milestones/transpl.html

Extractions: The first successful transplants were of the cornea, the clear covering of the eye. The first human corneal transplant was in 1906. This followed almost a century of experiments using animals, mainly rabbits. Rejection is not a problem in 9 out of 10 cases, because the cornea does not normally have a blood supply, so the white cells responsible for tissue rejection cannot reach it. Replacement heart valves obtained from pigs are modified so that the body's defences are not activated. Following work in rabbits, guinea pigs and rats , a biologically inert, functional and durable valve was produced by washing, denaturing and tanning processes. Such valves, usually from pigs, have been used successfully in many human patients since the 1970s.
