SI Units: 2019 Redefinition

Measurement is an indispensable part of analytical chemistry. The result of measurement helps quantify a substance's physical property and compare it with the physical property of another substance. Each measurement comprises two components - a number indicating the magnitude and a unit of measurement as a standard for comparison. Further, the same quantity can be measured using different units of measurement, which leads to differences in magnitude.
A standard set of units has been defined...

Levels of Organization

Biological organization is the classification of biological structures, ranging from atoms at the bottom of the hierarchy to the Earth's biosphere. Each level of the hierarchy represents an increase in complexity that builds upon the previous level.
Molecules Are Composed of Atoms, and Biomolecules Are Assembled from Molecules:
The most basic levels include atoms, molecules, and biomolecules. Atoms, the smallest unit of ordinary matter, are composed of a nucleus and electrons. Molecules...

Accessory Organs

Accessory organs are those that participate in the digestion of food but do not come into direct contact with it like the mouth, stomach, or intestine do. Accessory organs secrete enzymes into the digestive tract to facilitate the breakdown of food.

Organic Compounds

All living things are formed mostly of carbon compounds called organic compounds. The category of organic compounds includes both natural and synthetic compounds that contain carbon. Although a single, precise definition has yet to be identified by the chemistry community, most agree that a defining trait of organic molecules is the presence of carbon as the principal element, bonded to hydrogen and other carbon atoms. However, some carbon-containing compounds such as carbonates, cyanides, and...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Medical Ethics

Background:

  • Organ donor numbers in Germany have been declining since 2010, reaching a 20-year low in 2017.
  • Germany's organ donor rate (9.7 per million inhabitants) significantly trails other European nations.
  • The Deutsche Stiftung Organtransplantation (DSO) has expressed concern over this trend.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the causes behind the decline in organ donation in Germany.
  • To identify key strategies for improving organ donor numbers and transplantation rates.
  • To advocate for a collaborative approach to address the organ donation crisis.

Main Methods:

  • Extensive analyses conducted by DSO in collaboration with donor hospitals.
  • Review of organ donor statistics and trends in Germany.
  • Assessment of factors influencing organ donor detection and reporting.

Main Results:

  • The decline in organ donation is attributed to multiple complex factors.
  • Enhanced detection and consistent reporting of potential organ donors are identified as critical improvement levers.
  • The current situation hinders meeting patients' wishes for organ donation.

Conclusions:

  • A broad societal debate and joint initiative are necessary to revitalize organ donation in Germany.
  • Collaboration among medical associations, policymakers, patient groups, and healthcare providers is essential.
  • Improving organ donation is vital for patients on waiting lists.
