Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

2.7K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Psychosurgery

81
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells

1.7K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.
However, failure of such a system...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Climate Change Mitigation

Background:

  • Operating rooms significantly contribute to pollution through energy use, consumables, and water waste.
  • Climate change mitigation is a global priority, impacting all human activities, including surgery.
  • The surgical community faces pressure to halve carbon emissions by 2030, aligning with the UN's Race to Zero campaign.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the environmental impact of surgical practices, specifically within minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
  • To foster a cultural shift towards sustainable surgery among healthcare professionals.
  • To create a joint task force between SAGES and EAES to tackle climate change in surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Formation of a joint Task Force by the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) and the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES).
  • Development of recommendations and best practices for mitigating climate risk in MIS.
  • Establishing strategic collaborations with medical device manufacturers.

Main Results:

  • Recognition of the significant role surgical societies play in raising awareness about environmental responsibility.
  • A commitment to developing actionable strategies for reducing the carbon footprint of MIS.
  • The initiation of a collaborative effort involving over 10,000 members from two major surgical societies.

Conclusions:

  • A global challenge like climate change requires a unified global response from the surgical community.
  • Sustainable practices in MIS are crucial for balancing technological advancement with environmental preservation.
  • The alliance between SAGES and EAES aims to guide surgeons in evolving their practices towards environmental sustainability.
