Abstract:
This case report describes the longest reported HOPE treatment ever for an extended criteria donor organ in donation after brain death performed to enable the transplantation of a surgically complex retransplant case. Although further evidence is required, HOPE may facilitate liver retransplantation, expanding the donor organ pool and reducing time constraints on the operation.

01:25Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Hemoperfusion and Hemofiltration
Hemoperfusion and hemofiltration are critical techniques in medical treatments to eliminate accumulated drugs, metabolites, and electrolytes from the bloodstream. These methods are particularly vital in cases of accidental poisoning and drug overdose.Hemoperfusion involves passing blood through an adsorbent material to remove unwanted substances. The main adsorbents used in hemoperfusion include activated charcoal and Amberlite resins. Activated charcoal can adsorb both polar and nonpolar...
01:28Kidney Transplant I: Introduction
A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...
