Learning Disabilities

86
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Emerging Adulthood

47
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming is a unique state of consciousness where an individual realizes they are dreaming while still in the dream. This awareness allows them to manipulate their dream environment consciously. Researchers like Stephen LaBerge have significantly contributed to the understanding of lucid dreams, highlighting that during these dreams, certain areas of the brain, such as the prefrontal cortex, that involve self-awareness and thought evaluation show increased activity.
Studies have shown...

Area of Science:

  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Organ Donation Research

Background:

  • Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in the US, initiated in 1989, saw limited adult adoption post-2001 due to donor safety concerns.
  • Despite ethical validation and demonstrated safety, LDLT constitutes less than 10% of US liver transplants, contrasting with its prevalence in Asia.
  • Increased deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) and technologies like Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP) have improved organ availability, yet LDLT remains crucial for specific patient groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the current status and challenges of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in the United States.
  • To identify barriers to LDLT utilization and explore strategies for its expansion.
  • To highlight the critical role of LDLT in mitigating the liver transplant organ shortage.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical data and current trends in LDLT and DDLT in the US.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to donor risk aversion and underutilization of LDLT.
  • Examination of initiatives aimed at improving LDLT training and expanding donor pools.

Main Results:

  • LDLT remains significantly underutilized in the US, primarily due to persistent public and clinician apprehension regarding donor risks.
  • Factors such as increased DDLT availability and limited training experience contribute to lower LDLT volumes compared to Asian countries.
  • Non-directed donations and social media engagement have positively impacted donor availability, while consortia like A2ALL and training programs are advancing LDLT safety and expertise.

Conclusions:

  • LDLT is essential for addressing the critical organ shortage in liver transplantation, particularly for pediatric and select adult populations.
  • Overcoming risk aversion through education and enhancing surgical training are paramount for increasing LDLT adoption.
  • Despite challenges, ongoing efforts in training and donor recruitment are paving the way for broader LDLT implementation.
