Abstract

The current antiretroviral drugs have been efficient in the management of HIV by suppressing the virus's replication. It has, therefore, helped in changing this virus from a deathly disease to a chronic infection. The utilization of extremely active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) calls for a lifetime prescription to prevent viral rebound by reducing the viral load to undetectable low levels. This high maintenance of treatment and the various side effects of the drugs and non-HIV related morbidity have led to the need for a better form of therapy. There has been an extensive study on stem cell manipulation done to develop gene therapy ...

Business Ethics and the Commercialization of Transplant Organs

Business Ethics and the Commercialization of Transplant Organs Currently, commercializing organs from either deceased or living donors can be prohibited legally in many parts around the world. The objective is to prevent commercialization of organs as well as ensuring a certain level of equity in gaining access to transplantation of organs. Moreover, certain proposals presented recently suggest that some forms of compensation (for instance, direct payment, tax credit, reimbursement, or moral’ incentives like honorary medals) can be permitted and explored. An issue that emerged recently, which provides considerable attention, is public solicitation of those organs received from deceased or ...

Speech Outline:

- Lack of enough reserve of body organs in the hospitals lead to loss of many lives. These losses need not be there while the people can rally means of preventing them. - Statistics indicate that many are in the hospitals awaiting organ transplants - While only 1 in 4 people get the organs, the others die while waiting for transplants or get to a diseased state where they cannot be helped. - The reason as to why there is a shortage is because there are regulations that make the sale of human organs illegal. - Advantages ...

DHEA:

Dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, is a hormone the human body produces via the adrenal glands, which are above the kidneys. The exact effect of DHEA is not yet fully identified; however, it is believed to be a precursor of the female and male sex hormones, namely estrogen and testosterone, among others. Precursors are substances that the body converts into hormones.

The production of DHEA usually reaches its peak around the mid-20s and declines ever after. The same applies to estrogen and testosterone, whose production also declines with age. For that reason, if an individual wants to increase their hormone levels, it ...

- Summary After a heart attack, the restoration of the cardiac function depends on the ability of the heart to generate cardiomyocytes, or new muscle cells. The ability is, however, weak and wanes with age. The alternative strategy involves delivering the newly grown cardiomyocytes to the damaged heart tissue. It requires the use of either induced pluripotent stem (iPS) or the embryonic stem (ES) cells. Embryos are the only sources of ES cells. On the other hand, the in vitro reprogramming of adult differentiated cells transforms them into undifferentiated stem cells. The method allows the production of iPS cells ...

Organ transplant can be defined as the transfer of an organ from one person to another or from a different location on the body of the patient, with an aim of substituting the missing or damaged organ of the recipient. Matching donor and recipient is currently done using a computer program, which performs the matching of the donor’s organ and recipients on the basis of specific features. These include tissue type, blood type, weight, and height. The time that the patient has been awaiting, how far the recipient's hospitals is from that of the donor, as well as the ...

Are there possible criminal aspects of HIV/AIDS? Consider the case law presented in your textbook and elsewhere, and explain. Please provide specific examples.

The intentional spread of HIV is considered a criminal act. Pozgar (2012, p. 362) describes the case of an inmate who knew that he was infected with both HIV and the hepatitis virus. He was also informed of the ways that he can transmit the infection to others. He bit two correctional officers knowing that he can possibly infect them in this way. He was consequently charged with assault and battery. In State of Louisiana v. Schmidt, ...

Life is a boon to every living kind. It has been the system of nature that one depends upon others for their survival. The dependency can be in different format. It can be either for the food, support, and different other variables. Humans being the social creature are dependent upon one another for their survival. The dependencies are upon the biological and physical needs of people. One helps other upon their survival fulfilling their needs at various different levels.

Fiduciary Relationship

A patient in a comatose state presents to the physician with diabetes and high blood pressure. The patient needs mechanical ventilators, dialysis machines and artificial hydration to prolong life. The doctor is informed by the patient’s wife that the patient had previously indicated that he never wanted mechanical ventilation if he fell ill. The doctor is presented with the conflict of interest on the basis of the principle of respect for patient’s autonomy. On the hand, the doctor can ascertain that it is in the best interest of the patient to put him on the life ...

The choices involved with organ transplants are never easy. There are more patients in need of new organs than the number of available organs, which means that doctors and transplant committees have to make decisions that are not palatable to many of us. They have to evaluate the possible quality of life of patients after they receive the transplants, and factors like longevity are a concern, but so are less quantitative ones, like their ability to contribute to society. Also, factors that are less specific to the patient can come into play, such as the ability of family members or ...

For meeting the organizational objectives, vision and mission statements, companies need to develop strategic plans, which implies knowing the internal and the external working environment.

For National Healthcare Centre of Urological Diseases and Transplantation organization the SWOT analysis identifies if the company has the strategy and resources to reach its objective and stick to vision, both comprised in its mission statement: “Serve humanity with the excellence in providing valued services ...

Health-care technology advances can improve treatment but also raises questions and issues about its application. Kutner reviews the development of organ-transplant technology (24-26) and then discusses key issues surrounding organ transplantation and the lack of a regulatory system to better manage critical components. Medical technology advances, inflated medical service and health insurance prices, an increased supply of doctors and an aging population affect rising health care costs (Kutner 32). The supply of donated organs needs to increase so selection criteria can be eased (Kutner 23, 32-33). Kutner supports: (1) a “presumed consent” policy in which organs can be removed from brain-dead ...

Clinical presentation

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is the gradual loss of kidney function over time. It is also referred to as chronic kidney failure. It is a condition that develops when the kidney malfunctions and fails to perform its major functions of removing metabolic waste and excess water. Metabolic wastes filtered from the blood are excreted in the urine and include electrolytes and excess fluids (Inzucchi et al., 2012). When these metabolic wastes build up in the body they cause serious complications that makes one feel sick with complications such as nerve damage, high blood pressure and anemia. The major cause of ...

Biology of Disease

Mode of action of;- Dexamethasone The Glucocorticoid receptors are discovered intracellularly in all tissues. They enter cells through inactive dispersion and structure a complex with a receptor protein (Rhodes & Hartnoll, 2002, P.10). This intricate then experiences an irreversible enactment and enters the cell core, where it ties to the DNA, hence prompting organic impacts instigated by these hormones, which include expanded hepatic gluconeogenesis, as well as expanded lipolysis (Ahmed, 2007, P.13). Dexamethasone is utilized to treat numerous provocative and immune system conditions, for example, rheumatoid joint pain and bronchospasm. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, an abatement in quantities of ...

The Negative Effects of Peddling Organs for Profit

The most frightening news that many people can receive is a negative medical diagnoses. One of the most feared of diagnoses is one involving the inefficiency, damage to or failure of a bodily organ. Unlike the appendix and spleen, most organs cannot be lived without. Sometimes the only recourse for such patients is to work to treat their immediate symptoms, work to prolong their life and wait for a possible organ transplant. Such transplants require an available organ, a proper genetic match between donor and recipient and this, still, leaves patients with a possibility that their body may still reject an even ideally matched ...

Racial classification is mainly experienced within the US context, African-American have been on the bottom while whites remain on top. Racism is reflected via the idea that inferiority is ...

Dialysis is a way of replacing kidney function for people who have kidney failure. There are two common types of dialysis; haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis (Quantrill, 2001). Haemodialysis involves passing a patient’s blood through an artificial kidney where it is cleansed and waste products removed (Lai, 2009). Peritoneal Dialysis involves the use of a thin membrane called Peritoneum in the internal lining of the abdomen to act as an artificial abdomen. CAPD involves the continual draining of fluids into the peritoneal cavity; the fluids are allowed to absorb waste products for a few hours and then drained out. CAPD can serve ...

The article by Joanna MacKay, "Organ Sales Will Save Lives" is an interesting read. In the first section of the article, the author gives interesting figures and explains how a number of patients are dying every day because of renal failure. There is no treatment of renal failure. While there is the dialysis, it is a prolonged and physically taxing procedure. The only cure of a renal failure is a kidney transplant. With the present law scenario where organ selling is illegal, there is indeed huge shortage in supply of kidneys for transplant. The list of patients awaiting a kidney is huge, running in ...

Epidemiology

Cirrhosis is a serious health problem in United Kingdom. Approximately, 30,000 people in UK have cirrhosis (Cirrhosis of the liver n.d.). Each year close to 7,000 new diagnoses are reported in the country (Shafi, Rizwan & Azam n.d.). Between 1992 and 2001, the cirrhosis incidence and prevalence rate increased by 45% and 68% respectively. England, as at the year 2009 had a prevalence rate of 10.1 and 4.8 for male and female per 100,000 inhabitants respectively (National End of Life Care n.d.). The prevalence rate is higher in deprived population. Cirrhosis is one of the leading killer diseases in ...

Personal identity has been variously defined. It mainly deals with matters that are connected to ourselves based on the idea of our being people. There is a broad literature of personal identity both in the Western, and Eastern philosophy and discussions have emerged in the recent past on our identity over the years. The concept of personal identity in psychology relied significantly on the version of relational memory criterion by Locke. The relational theory raised many objections. The theory argued that memory presupposes identity such that past experiences play an important role in a person’s identity. However, since 1970s, debates ...

Organ transplantation as a scientific and medical method in treating patients have become successful and popular over the years. However, repositories of human organs have faced shortage while demand for organ replacement becomes mandatory for some families dealing with patients diagnosed with an organ-related disease. Such trend also has increased over time. It is a common problem for immediate family members looking to keep the concerned patient alive and to survive the effects of organ diseases. For some family members and health beneficiaries, finding a generous and wholehearted organ donor can be both tedious and time-consuming. It may take months/years, to have ...

Communities in Third World Countries

One of the most striking issues that could be identified along with this matter is the fact that poor families do so much to just get ...

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, about 18 people die every day waiting for a new organ transplant. It is currently illegal in the United States for anyone to sell their organs or tissue on the open market. It is time to change this policy not only for the benefit of organ and tissue recipients but for organ and tissue donors. Currently, most organ donations in America are from recently deceased persons who enrolled in a local or state organ donation program when they were still alive. This is not exactly a popular option for organ donation ...

The Columbian Exchange, coined by Alfred Crosby in 1986, refers to the massive movement from the Old World to the New World and back, of crops, animals, and diseases after the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus in 1492 (Grennes 2007, p. 91). The meeting of the Old and the New World drastically changed the fortunes not only of the natives inhabiting the newly discovered continents, but also of the European settlers and Europe as a whole. New species of animals were introduced to the Americas that helped in farming and transportation. On the other hand, new species ...

When one donates an organ, the person develops some fear of getting diseases that might affect the other organ (“Division of Transplantation,” n.d.). Due to the fear, the person’s life changes from happy to almost sad life. In addition, the person is exempted from certain activities such as contact games that may, as in the case of kidney transplant, rapture the other kidney. If the remaining kidney is raptured, the person also requires a kidney transplant. Some people keep on attending medical care facilities for monitoring of the progress of the remaining organs especially to check for possible stress ...

The buying and selling of human organs is among the many contemporary issues that have garnered both media and public attention in recent years. Civilians, medical professionals, and governments have had diverging opinions regarding the trade. Trafficking human organs occurs in three distinct methods. The most common occurrence is when victims agree to sell organs (either formally or informally), but are not paid or are paid less than the promised amount. In other cases, traffickers deceive or force victims to give up their organs; in the final instance, the organs are removed without the victim’s knowledge. Trading human ...

One of the most interesting and debated topics in the field of medicine is the commercialization of organs. It is such an interesting topic as both the proponents and opponents have supporting evidence to back up their claims. Since its inception in the 1960s, organ transplantation was meant to improve lives, but not rake in more cash from innocent patients. Although, commercialization is the order of the day, organ transplantation should never be commercialized. Organ transplant is the surgical extraction of a vigorous organ from a healthy person and transferred to a person whose organ has failed. Due to the high ...

Abstract

The number of people being affected by various diseases that require them to have organ transplants increases every day. Meanwhile, the amount of donated organs is extremely insufficient to meet the high demand. There is also the problem of finding a donor match for a recipient and the need to take strong medications that suppress the immune system of the recipient so that the transplanted organ is not rejected. A solution to these problems has been and is still being developed, with laboratory-grown organs holding much promise. These organs can be tailor-made using the patient’s own cells or other cell sources, ...

Abstract

Cirrhosis is 12th on the list of leading causes of death in the US. Cirrhosis is characterized by scarring of the liver tissue due to inflammation that could lead to liver failure and death. Some patients develop cancer in due course of the illness. The scarring, which is usually permanent, covers the outer layer with collagen, makes the liver very rigid and limits the exchange of blood between the portal vein and the liver, thereby creating excess pressure in the hepatic portal vein. The scarring renders the removal of toxin such as alcohol difficult due to depletion of hepatocytes. ...
