Dear Prospective Patient, You're visiting our web site because you are curious about a permanent, natural solution to hairloss. Among all of the choices for accomplishing a restored, youthful look, only the surgical approach is both permanent and natural. Our personal goal is to retain our status among the very best and most respected hair replacement surgeons in the world. Dr. Tessler, for example, is the only physician in Michigan specializing in the field to have been named in The Best Doctors in America, (a health professional referral guide compiled by surveying the opinions of 5,000 physicians) from 1996 through 2004. This and other professional accomplishments result from a dedication to knowledge that has taken us around the world with representatives of our skilled nursing staff to learn the latest, most effective surgical methods. Together, we and our staff offer superb surgical proficiency in a dignified caring environment. We are often told by patients many of whom come from all over the world that they've "shopped around" and they were ultimately impressed with the startling differences between our clinic and others. This is a private practice with a stable, committed staff; not a unit in a franchise-style enterprise with rotating doctors and personnel.

Heart Information - Adult Health Topics A-Z Heart Surgery Heart Transplant Who is a candidate for a heart transplant? How is heart transplantation done? Are there any complications? What is the survival rate for heart transplants? ... To find a doctor Who is a candidate for a heart transplant? Heart transplantation is a last-resort option for people with heart failure . To be considered for a heart transplant, a person's heart must be unresponsive to other forms of treatment and all other vital organs must be in excellent health. How is heart transplantation done? The surgery must be performed immediately after a suitable donor heart becomes available. The recipient is placed on a heart-lung machine that takes over the functions of the heart and lungs so the diseased heart can be removed and replaced with the new heart. Once the blood vessels are reconnected, the heart is ready to function. Are there any complications? One of the main complications following heart transplantation is rejection. The body's immune system treats the new organ as foreign tissue and produces antibodies to destroy it. Immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporine (sie-klo-SPOR-in) are given to suppress this response. In cases of severe rejection, retransplantation may be considered if a new donor can be found. In the past, side effects of anti-rejection drugs kept elderly persons and infants from being recipients of heart transplants. Now, improvements in the field have made it possible for many newborns to those in their seventies to be eligible for a transplant.

The link between a healthy transplanted kidney and longer life appears obvious. However, the study, published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, is the first to show that transplant patients not only have a better quality of life by avoiding dialysis, but live much longer than they would without a transplant. It looked at 228,552 people diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease from 1991 to 1997. Of those, 46,164 were placed on the transplant waiting list, and 23,275 of the waiting list patients received a transplanted organ from someone who died. A small percentage of the transplant recipients received organs from living donors, usually family members.

Derek Kuhs, 7, has spent much of his life in the hospital due to a rare immune system genetic disorder called chronic granulomatous disease, or CGD. "His white cells can't kick certain types of bacteria and fungi, so he's always open to life-threatening infections," said his mother, Gloria Kuhs. She and her husband are pinning their hopes on a transplant of umbilical cord blood. The cord blood, about 3 to 4 ounces taken from a mother's placenta shortly after childbirth, contains stem cells, the building blocks of all blood cells.

Understanding Blood Stem Cell Transplants > The Basics On Bone Marrow And Blood Stem Cell Transplants The Basics On Bone Marrow And Blood Stem Cell Transplants A transplant may be one way to treat your disease. The goal of this page is to help you better understand what a transplant is and how it works. What are stem cells? They are cells that make all of your red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Where do you find stem cells? Stem cells are found in human bone marrow or blood, and the umbilical cord blood of a newborn baby. What is a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant? A stem cell transplant is used to treat many diseases. First, the patient is given radiation and/or chemotherapy to kill their diseased cells. Then, donor stem cells are given to the patient through a vein. This looks like a blood transfusion. The transplanted donor cells begin to grow in the patient to make healthy red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets necessary to support life. How do I find a donor?

Front Page World UK UK Politics ... Help Saturday, January 30, 1999 Published at 10:50 GMT Sci/Tech Setback for animal to human transplants Pigs are genetically modified to make organs compatible with humans By Corinne Podger of BBC Science The Council of Europe has voted for a moratorium on clinical tests of animal organ transplants into human beings. The decision will be a heavy blow to researchers working on the technique, known as "xenotransplantation". It also means the global shortage of human donor organs will have to be solved some other way. Millions of dollars have already been poured into research on transplanting animal organs into humans. Transplants postponed indefinitely until more is known Most researchers have focused on pigs, which are highly compatible with humans - and by adding some human genes to specially bred pigs, it reduces the risk that transplanted animal organs will be rejected by their human recipients. But researchers have run up against persistent problems. These involve a number of viruses which - while harmless to pigs - might pose serious health risks to humans, and possibly cause new human diseases. While not banning the idea of animal organ transplants altogether, the council of Europe voted to ban clinical tests on real patients in Europe - and wants to see that ban extended worldwide.

Home About The NMDP > History Of Stem Cell Transplants History of Stem Cell Transplants The history of the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) is intricately linked to advancements in stem cell transplantation. Jump to a Section: Early Stem Cell History Discovery of HLA System First Bone Marrow Transplants in U.S. First Unrelated Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) ... Today and Into the Future Early Stem Cell History Nearly a century ago, physicians administered bone marrow by mouth to patients with anemia and leukemia. Although such therapy was unsuccessful, laboratory experimenters eventually demonstrated that mice with defective marrow could be restored to health with infusions into the blood stream of marrow taken from other mice. This caused physicians to speculate whether it was feasible to transplant bone marrow from one human to another (allogeneic transplantation). Among the early attempts to do this were several transplants carried out in France following a radiation accident in the late 1950s. Return to Top Discovery of HLA System Performing marrow transplants in humans was not attempted on a larger scale until after a French medical researcher made a critical discovery about the human immune system. In 1958 Jean Dausset described the first of many human histocompatibility antigens. These proteins, found on the surface of most cells in the body, are called human leukocyte antigens, or HLA antigens. These HLA antigens give the body's immune system the ability to determine what belongs in the body and what does not belong. Whenever the immune system does not recognize the series of antigens on a cell that mark it as belonging in the body, it creates antibodies and other substances to destroy the cell. Objects that the body looks for and destroys are infection-causing bacteria, viruses, tumor cells and foreign objects such as splinters. In this way, the immune system defends the body against things that can enter the body and cause harm.
