It can be a money-maker for you, and it offers several advantages over buying commercially produced plants. Vegetables to Transplant Tomatoes, peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant, collards, cabbage and onions are usually started from transplants. If you want watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers, squash and other vegetables to yield earlier, you can start them indoors in peat pots. Containers Seed Flats You can build these at home out of thin, rigid boards or buy them at your garden supply store. A 12" x 24" x 3" size is easy to handle, and is large enough to grow 250 to 300 seedling plants up to transplanting size without too much crowding.

Extractions: Return to Scientific On December 3rd 1967 Dr Christian Barnard carried out a human heart transplant. Although experiments had previously been carried out transplanting hearts between dogs this was the first time it had been done between humans. In 1968 over a hundred hearts were transplanted in humans with only slight prolongation of life in the person receiving the heart. This was partly because the recipient was often very ill, but mainly because donor hearts were scarce. and it was difficult to get a good immunological match between the donor heart and the recipient. The donated heart was often rejected by the recipient's body. The surgical techniques improved but the major stumbling block was the REJECTION of the donor heart. A truely major break through came with the discovery of CYCLOSPORINE. This was a substance extracted from a soil fungus that inhibited the immunological responses of the host body. It was a very effective immuno- suppressor. Immediately cyclosporine was used, there was a major increase in the length of life that people with a transplanted heart lived. Their life expectation increased to five or ten+ years. The development of immuno-suppressor drugs such as cyclosporine, acathioprine, and tacrolimus FK-506, made organ transplants such as those of the heart, or kidney, or liver or lungs very much more successful.

If not, you can do so by clicking here or by calling: Search this site: Transplants transform lives Transplants are one of the most miraculous achievements of modern medicine. They involve the donation of organs from one person to another and enable about 2,700 people to take on a new lease of life in the UK every year. Transplants are the best possible treatment for most people with organ failure. Kidney transplants are the most commonly performed. Transplants of the heart, liver and lungs are also regularly carried out. As medicine advances, other vital organs including the pancreas and small bowel are also being used in transplants. Tissue such as corneas, heart valves, skin and bone can also be donated. The increasing effectiveness of transplantation means that many more patients can be considered for treatment in this way. But there is a serious shortage of donors.

Extractions: Australian scientists sounded a new warning against cross species transplants after two piggery workers were found to be infected with a previously unknown virus, which had caused stillbirths and brain and spinal cord defects in pigs. The humans recovered and the disease, which was raced to a colony of fruit bats, appears to have been contained, but there is no In March 1997, British researchers reported that pig retroviruses PERVS) had multiplied in human kidney cells in vitro. Because retroviruses are permanent once established, and can be transmitted through bodily fluids (like HIV, the retrovirus many scientists blame for triggering the diseases known as AIDS). Animal viruses are usually unable to penetrate barriers posed by the human skin, stomach acids, and immune response, but if they are planted inside and become a functioning part of the human body, it becomes less likely that the immune system, particularly one compromised by anti-rejection drugs, can eliminate them.
The Scientist :: Neural Transplants For MS
Neural transplants for MS. Multiple sclerosis damage in mice can berepaired by injecting neural precursor cells. By Tudor P Toma.
http://www.biomedcentral.com/news/20030417/07/

Extractions: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by widespread multifocal demyelination and axonal loss, causing paralysis, blindness, loss of sensation, and a lack of coordination. Current disease-modifying strategies are primarily aimed at preventing further autoimmune destruction, but little can be done to reverse symptoms once the demyelination is established. In the April 17 Nature, Stefano Pluchino and colleagues at San Raffaele Hospital , Milan, Italy, show that injection of adult neurospheres in mice can induce recovery of demyelination in a chronic model of MS ( Nature , 422:688-694, April 17, 2003). Pluchino et al. grew in vitro neural stem cells labelled with the expression of the Escherichia coli b-galactosidase (b-gal) gene (lacZ) and injected them (intravenously or intracerebroventricularly) into mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). They observed that in both cases, significant numbers of donor cells entered into demyelinating areas of the central nervous system and differentiated into mature brain cells. Within these areas, oligodendrocyte progenitors markedly increased, with many of them actively remyelinating axons. In addition, they observed a significant reduction of astrogliosis and a marked decrease in the extent of demyelination. The functional impairment caused by EAE was almost abolished in transplanted mice. "If sufficient numbers of human neural precursor cells can be collected, and if we can work out how to make these cells proliferate and differentiate, then the results of Pluchino et al. might be translated into a treatment that eliminates collateral damage in MS," concludes Lawrence Steinman from

Extractions: Background The use of grafts with multiple renal arteries has been considered a relative contraindication because of the increased incidence of vascular and urologic complications The aim of this study is to determine whether the kidney grafts with multiple arteries have any adverse effect upon post-transplant graft and patient survival. Methods We reviewed the records of 225 adult kidney transplants done consecutively at our institution. Twenty-nine patients (12.8%) had grafts with multiple renal arteries. We analyzed the incidence of post-transplant hypertension and vascular complications, mean creatinine levels, patient and graft survival. In 17 cases reconstruction was done as conjoined anastomosis between two arteries of equal size, and in 6 cases as end-to-side anastomosis of smaller arteries to larger arteries. Multiple anastomoses were performed in 6 cases.

Extractions: @import url(/system/febo.css); Febo Home Ham Documents by N8UR Packet Radio Pages Linux AX.25 ... Send Email I have an eye condition called keratoconus. It's a disease in which the cornea (the outer surface of the eye in front of the pupil) becomes cone-shaped rather than spherical, and this results in extreme astigmatism. Glasses can't correct this vision problem, but hard contact lenses often can. Unfortunately, the distortion of the cornea makes it very difficult to fit contacts comfortably for a keratoconic my eye doctor described it as "trying to balance a saucer on the end of a football." Ultimately, the cornea may suffer scarring which results in vision loss that can't be corrected by contacts. At that point, the next step is to replace the damaged cornea with a new one through cornea transplant surgery. This is only necessary for about 10 percent of keratoconics, but I'm one of them. There's much more about that a bit further down this page... The purpose of this web site is to provide information and resources to those who have keratoconus, and particularly those who have had, or are considering, a cornea transplant.
