Contamination of Corneal Tissue From Infected Donors [PDF]
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1985 Thirty-two corneas with scleral rims were cultured from the eyes of 17 cadavers that harbored systemic infection at the time of death. Twelve (71%) of 17 cadavers demonstrated corneal contamination from one or both corneas. Eleven (92%) of 12 donors with positive postmortem blood cultures had positive corneal cultures from at least one eye.

Preparing donor tissue for DSEK
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2013AbstractDonor tissue preparation remains a critical step in endothelial keratoplasty technique. Since its introduction in 2008 the use of pre‐cut grafts for Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) has become increasingly popular.

Donor Selection, Retrieval and Preparation of Donor Tissue
2009Corneal transplantation safety is widely dependent on clinical donor selection. Donor-to-host transmission of rabies and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is well established, and it is lethal for the recipient. Taking into consideration this latter figure, contraindications to ocular tissue transplantation include not only rabies, contact with rabies virus ...

Donations by living donors include bone, cord blood, amniotic membrane, ophthalmic limbal stem cells and heart valves. The latter may include heart lung block recipients who then donate their hearts. Allograft haemopoietic stem cell donors of bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells are also clearly living donors but are not dealt with in this ...

Evaluation of Prior Photorefractive Keratectomy in Donor Tissue
Cornea, 1999To describe a case in which an eye donor had prior bilateral photorefractive keratectomies and to elucidate possible methods of evaluation and screening of donor tissue.Case report. A 62-year-old eye donor was reported to have received radial keratotomy before his death.

Donor Care before Pancreatic Tissue Transplantation
Progress in Transplantation, 2005Publications are reviewed to identify factors related to donor care that may optimize the function of pancreatic tissue (whole or segmental organ or islet cells) after transplantation. Short cold ischemia time, avoidance of hypotension, and treatment of donor hyperglycemia appear to be beneficial, although additional properly designed studies are ...

Antimicrobial Effect of Cryopreservation on Donor Ocular Tissue
Cornea, 2014The aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial effect of cryopreservation on donor globes with a previously positive culture. More specifically, our study aims at determining whether microbial organisms can still be cultured after cryopreservation in previously culture positive donor whole globes.This is a prospective quality assurance study of ...

Screening the Tissue Donor for Infectious Agents
2021Like all substances of human origin, tissues are capable of transmitting infectious agents from donor to recipient. The screening of tissue donors for blood-borne infectious agents helps minimise this risk. To ensure the reliability and accuracy of screening a number of critical elements need to be considered.

In most types of blindness, the penetrating graft is necessary. The lamellar graft is most useful in treating progressive corneal disease not amenable to medical therapy and in reconstructing a cornea damaged by injury or chemical burns.Because of inadequate procurement of donor eyes and lack of a method of long-term preservation for fresh corneas ...
