Changing Metrics of Organ Procurement Organization Performance in Order to Increase Organ Donation Rates in the United States

American Journal of Transplantation, 2017
The shortage of deceased‐donor organs is compounded by donation metrics that fail to account for the total pool of possible donors, leading to ambiguous donor statistics.

Structured Light Projection Using Image Guide Fibers for In Situ Photo‐biofabrication

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐based biofabrication is typically performed with single wavelength light sources and within benchtop devices. This work demonstrates FaSt‐Light (Fiber‐assisted Structured Light) as a new approach to achieve multiwavelength image projection using flexible image guide fibers, which enables a variety of applications for in situ biofabrication ...

Organic Ferroelectric Synaptic Transistors for Neural Image Recognition Networks

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
All organic transistors, where both the dielectric and semiconducting layers are polymeric, are developed as electrical synaptic devices. Two copolymers of PVDF as the dielectric layer with large differences in their saturation polarizability and memory window are chosen.

Improvement of Electrochromic Stability of Viologen‐Based Ionic Gel by Layered Metal–Organic Frameworks

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Metal–organic framework doped viologen‐based ionogel electrochromic device demonstrates superior performance including homogeneous chromatic transition, enhanced coloration efficiency, and exceptional cycling stability. These advancements originate from dual mechanisms: 1) physical confinement effect effectively suppressing viologen molecular ...

Radial Forearm Free Flap: A Modified Technique for Procurement as a Sentinel Skin Flap

Transplantation Direct
Background. Organ rejection after solid organ transplantation remains a major challenge. The sentinel skin flap (SSF), a vascularized skin flap procured from the donor and transplanted alongside solid organs, has shown promise for early detection of ...

Human rights violations in organ procurement practice in China

BMC Medical Ethics, 2017
Over 90% of the organs transplanted in China before 2010 were procured from prisoners. Although Chinese officials announced in December 2014 that the country would completely cease using organs harvested from prisoners, no regulatory adjustments or ...

Supramolecular Design of Polymeric Random Lasers

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This research investigates the application of PolyHIPE scaffolds as scattering media inRLs. By modifying the scaffold's morphology, pore size, and surface chemistry, the dye distribution within the material is precisely controlled, achieving a tunable laser threshold.

Keys to successful organ procurement: An experience-based review of clinical practices at a high-performing health-care organization

International Journal of Critical Illness and Injury Science, 2017
Organ procurement (OP) from donors after brain death and circulatory death represents the primary source of transplanted organs. Despite favorable laws and regulations, OP continues to face challenges for a number of reasons, including institutional ...

Health Matters: Human Organ Donations, Sales, and the Black Market [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
In this paper I explore the human organ procurement system. Which is better for saving lives and limiting black market use, the present altruistic system of donations or a free and open sales market? I explain that there is a risk with maintaining the present system, the altruistic vision, and that people may die who might otherwise live if the sale of
