n my opinion any concept of property in the human body either during life or after death is biologically inaccurate and morally wrong. The body should be regarded as on loan to the individual from the biomass, to which the cadaver will inevitably return. Development of immunosuppressive drugs has resulted in the cadaver becoming a unique and invaluable resource to those who will benefit from or...

BACKGROUND Renal transplantation is the procedure of choice for most of patients with end-stage renal disease. The graft, however can be procured from either cadaver or living donors. OBJECTIVE To compare graft and patient survival among patients who underwent kidney transplantation from cadaver donor vs. living donor. METHODS From April 2002 to February 2010, we performed 138 cadaver kidne...

BACKGROUND The living-donor and dual kidney transplantation programmes were initiated in the transplantation centre of Münster (TCM) as two approaches to compensate for the declining numbers of cadaver donor kidney transplants after the implementation of the new Eurotransplant Kidney Allocation System (ETKAS). We analysed the outcome of cadaver, living-donor and dual kidney transplantation and ...

conclusions a significant proportion of coronary atherosclerotic plaques in cadavers with confirmed acute myocardial infarction were detected to be infected with cytomegaloviruses while no infections of c. pneumoniae and h. pylori were detected. patients and methods sixty cadavers in two equal groups were analyzed. acute myocardial infarction group included cadavers with acute myocardial infarc...

Extracorporeal liver perfusion (ECLP) has been used for detoxifying blood in patients in class IV hepatic encephalopathy. Palliation of the moribund patient utilizing extracorporeal devices with cross-circulation of a cadaver liver has been documented for over three decades. Common problems associated with this procedure which appear in the literature include cadaver liver distention, increas...

Direct measurement of detailed kinematics of individual anatomical structures in the foot during human locomotion is crucial for understanding morphofunctional roles of the human foot structure that mechanically interacts with the ground in a favourable manner to maintain stable gait. In the present study, we constructed a dynamic gait simulator to load and mobilize the cadaver foot and directl...

There are not many articles about the anatomical knowledge of variable conditions sole foot, but normally this area is essential for surgeries such as reconstructive or peripheral nerve compression syndrome. In region, medial plantar (nervus plantaris medialis) innervates abductor and flexor muscles thumb. addition, there a region where receives skin sensation in foot. When it damaged exposed t...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the reactions of medical students to cadaver dissection and their preferred learning methods in studying anatomy. METHODS Participants were 110 first-year medical students 57 from a pre-medical course and 53 from the graduate entry level. A self-reported questionnaire survey was used to assess students' emotional and physical reactions to t...
