Ex Vivo Infection of Live Tissue with Oncolytic Viruses
Oncolytic Viruses (OVs) are novel therapeutics that selectively replicate in and kill tumor cells(1). Several clinical trials evaluating the effectiveness of a variety of oncolytic platforms including HSV, Reovirus, and Vaccinia OVs as treatment for cancer are currently underway(2-5). One key characteristic of oncolytic viruses is that they can be genetically modified to express reporter transg...
متن کاملEx vivo lung perfusion in Brazil
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) clinically to prepare donor lungs for transplantation. METHODS A prospective study involving EVLP for the reconditioning of extended-criteria donor lungs, the criteria for which include aspects such as a PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 300 mmHg. Between February of 2013 and February of 2014, the lungs of five donors were submitted to EVLP for u...
متن کاملEx vivo lung evaluation and reconditioning.
OBJECTIVE Only about 15% of the potential candidates for lung donation are considered suitable for transplantation. A new method for ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has been developed and can be used for evaluation and reconditioning of "marginal" and unacceptable lungs. This is a report of functional evaluation experience with ex vivo perfusion of twelve donor lungs deemed unacceptable in São Pa...
متن کاملRobotic Needle Steering in ex-vivo and in-vivo Tissue
Robotic needle steering is a promising technique to improve the effectiveness of needle based clinical procedures, such as biopsies and ablation, by computer controlled, curved insertions of needles within the body. In this paper, we explore the capabilities, challenges, and clinical relevance of tip asymmetric needle steering though experiments in ex vivo and in vivo tissue. We evaluate the re...
متن کاملEx vivo lung reconditioning: a new era for lung transplantation.
Lung transplantation has come to be viewed as the best treatment option for various end-stage lung diseases. The low number of viable donors continues to be a major obstacle to increasing the number of lung transplants, resulting in high mortality among patients on the waiting list. Unlike transplantation of other solid organs, lung transplantation is primarily limited not by the absolute numbe...
