Anesthesiology Clinics of North America, 2004
The diagnosis of brain death describes the final catastrophic state of a person for whom, except for ventilators and pharmacology, death would surely have already intervened. Although we think of death as an ending, if the patient becomes an organ donor it is also a beginning.

Donor-donor binding in In2O3: Engineering shallow donor levels
Journal of Applied Physics, 2010Using first-principles band structure methods, we investigate the interactions between different donors in In2O3. Through the formation energy and transition energy level calculations, we find that an oxygen-vacancy creates a deep donor level, while an indium-interstitial or a tin-dopant induces a shallow donor level.

Deceased donor renal transplantation from older donors to increase the donor pool
The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2012Background Use of kidneys from donors aged 70 years and older is controversial. Organ shortage has led many transplant centers to accept kidneys from old, suboptimal deceased donors and make increasing use of old-for-old allocation systems. We describe our institutional experience with outcomes from transplanting deceased-donor kidneys from older ...

Donor Age in Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Transplantation Proceedings, 2008We sought to elucidate the influence of donor age in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using either left lobe (LL) or right lobe (RL) grafts.Recipients (n = 232) were categorized as: group O/LL (LL, donor age >50, n = 20); group Y/LL (LL, donor age < or =50, n = 140); Group O/RL (RL, donor age >50, n = 12); and group Y/RL (RL, donor age < or ...
