| Scientists correct decline in organ function associated with old age | | 2008-08-10 17:14:06 | | As people age, their cells become less efficient at getting rid of damaged protein -- resulting in a buildup of toxic material that is especially pronounced in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders. Now, for the first time, scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have prevented this age-related decline in an entire organ -- the liver -- and shown that, as a result, the livers of older animals functioned as well as they did when the animals were much younger.

| | | Organ - Organ Dalam Selain Otak dan Jantung | | 2008-05-21 01:02:30 | | Organ-organ tubuh seperti ginjal, usus, dan hati dapat hidup tanpa oksigen untuk waktu yang tidak terlalu lama. Umumnya 1 jam dianggap sebagai batas waktu, bila lebih lama dari 1 jam maka sel-sel mulai mati. Pada keadaan ini maka organ yang bersangkutan tidak berfungsi, atau hanya berfungsi sebagian.Sebagai contoh adalah ginjal. Organ ini dapat mentolerir keadaan tanpa oksigen cukup lama (kurang lebih 1 jam, tergantung keadaan ginjal itu). Apabila terjadi syok, sehingga aliran darah ke ginjal akan berkurang, maka oksigen yang di suplai ke ginjal-pun akan berkurang, sehingga ginjal tidak mengeluarkan air kemih (air kencing, urin). Apabila syok teratasi lebih dari 1 jam, mungkin penderita dalam keadaan lebih baik, namun ginjalny sudah terlanjur rusak (harus cuci darah).

| Oklahoma Adopts Income Tax Deduction for Organ Donation | | 2008-04-15 23:00:00 | | Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry has signed into law a 130-page omnibus bill that, among many other things, creates a $10,000 one-time income tax deduction for unreimbursed costs associated with donating all or part of a liver, pancreas, kidney, intestine, lung, or bone marrow (Section 37, pages 89-90). The bill directs the Oklahoma Tax Commission to write rules outlining what would be a deductible cost.Currently federal law prohibits paying people for donating organs, and some have proposed changing this system as the number of people on organ waitlists grow each year. Whatever the merits of those proposals or what Oklahoma has done, it may be a trend: this website indicates that Oklahoma is the 13th state to adopt some form of tax deduction for costs associated with an individual donating an organ. (The others are Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Utah, and Wisconsin.) | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| | ARTIFICIAL ORGAN | | 2007-09-13 03:46:00 | | An artificial organ is a man-made organ that is implanted into, or integrated onto, a human to replace a natural organ, for the purpose of restoring a specific function or a group of related functions so the patient may return to as normal a life as possible. The replaced function doesn't necessarily have to be related to life support, but often is.Implied by this definition is the fact that the device must not need to be continuously tethered to a stationary power supply, or other stationary resources, such as filters or chemical processing units. (Periodic rapid recharging of batteries, refilling of chemicals, and/or cleaning/replacing of filters, would not exclude a device from being called an artificial organ.) Thus a dialysis machine, while a very successful and critically important life support device that completely replaces the duties of a kidney, is not an artificial organ. At this time a successful portable self-contained artificial kidney has not become available.Reasons to construct and install an artificial organ, an extremely expensive process initially, which may entail many years of ongoing maintenance services not needed by a natural organ, might include:1.) Life support to prevent imminent death while awaiting a transplant (e.g. artificial heart) 2.)Dramatic improvement of the patient's ability for self care (e.g. artificial limb) 3.)Improvement of the patient's ability to interact socially (e.g. cochlear implant) 4.)Cosmetic restoration after cancer surgery or accident The use of any artificial organ by humans is almost always preceded by extensive experiments with animals. Initial testing in humans is frequently limited to those either already facing death, or who have exhausted every other treatment possibility. (Rarely testing may be done on healthy volunteers who are scheduled for execution pertaining to violent crimes.)Although not typically thought of as organs, one might also consider replacement bone, and joints thereof, such as hip re | | By: BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING | | |
